Talk:Victoria School

message: Does anybody know the history of the Victorian bumble bee? Also, why was 'Victorian' chosen to be written on the shirt instead of 'Victoria', 'Victoria School' etc like most schools?
REPLY:
Victorian Bumble Bee started using in early to mid 1987, earlier Victorians wear a White PT shirt with front school logo in standard red-yellow colours and curved VICTORIAN in red at the back.
As for why VICTORIAN is used versus using VICTORIA or Victoria School, it seems to be the tradition at VS to use "VICTORIAN" for standard PT shirts (for all Victorians to wear / use within VS compound); and use "VICTORIA" for Tank Top/singlets, and special sports attire for representatives at national level meets or competitions...
REPLY:
I think if anyone has photographs of the old PT shirts, it would be good to post them up because it is a part of history. You don't see them anymore.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.10.13 (talk) 05:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There is no such thing as the "Victorian Bumble Bee",  as far as I know. The clour yellow is from the school's crest. The word Victorian was probably used because of the camaraderie amongst Victorians, but the decision was made a long time ago and I am unable to verify it. But there are other schools which do interesting things with their PE attire, for instance Saint Patrick's School has "I <3 St Pats" similar to the famous I<3NY logo.

message: I think there is no need to list all the achievements for the year. I've checked the pages of other top boys' schools and none of them do it. It's like trying to publicise over a little bit of achievement. The school website already has all this information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.12.228 (talk) 04:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I removed it after reading the article (and find it to be rather neutral) but since I'm a Victorian, my POV might be different. Please comment if there's anything that you find biased. Jsamraj 13:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV Check 

message: I remember back at the Geylang Bahru campus, there was some notable canteen stalls that students always patronize. 1 of which is the western stall with the squabbling couple and another is the rice with mixed vege stall which offers generous portions at an incredibly cheap price. anyone knows where these stalls shifted to? Or how are these "victorians" coping now.

message: It's nice to include a list of prominent alumni, but I believe everyone should be aware that not all of these "prominent" alumni are necessarily notable as per Wikipedia guidelines. Efforts should be made to crop it as soon as possible. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 10:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Reply - Agree. "Former Victorians" will be more appropriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soccer174 (talk • contribs) 01:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  If these are terms in regular use, Old Victorians or Former Victorians would be fine to include as information within the section but the section should be called "notable alumni".  Former Victorians is a bit too inside of a term.--RadioFan (talk) 12:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Referring to the above article, I am wondering why the principal of VJC has so much say in this matter. Principals come and go every few years. But the alumni will always be alumni. What is the VAC/VEC stand on this matter? Shouldn't the VAC/VEC have jurisdiction over the 2 schools?

replies: text: Victoria School had girls in her Pre-University classes until 1984 when Victoria Junior College was setup. Past students (boys and girls) of Victoria Junior College are also part of the same alumni as Victoria School too. 202.156.9.231 (talk) 17:07, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

message: it will make Victoria School page too long DragTian (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Victoria School Hockey is essentially a paragraph with a partially filled table that could be summarized in a few sentences plus a list of alumni that is 90% red links. This could be easily merged into 2 good paragraphs on the club.  Breaking it out into its own article is not appropriate because the subject does not meet notability guidelines and having its own article gives it undue weight.--RadioFan (talk) 12:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The unfilled cells are still in the process of being filled in. Just need a bit of time for it. DragTian (talk) 13:55, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I dont see how this article could meet notability guidelines, even with the additional cells filled in.  None of the information there is referenced.  It also sounds like this was all created a bit too early.--RadioFan (talk) 15:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The references is not an issue. I can get them. Just need a bit of time. DragTian (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Do not merge [[Victoria School Hockey]] into Victoria School

message: Hi. I note that the article has been placed under the Category:Boarding schools in Singapore. I'm wondering though if this is a right categorisation; if the boarding school in the school campus is called Victoria School only, then it should be fine. However, if the boarding school has a separate name (say Victoria School Boarding School), then perhaps the categorisation should be removed, and creating a new article on the boarding school itself would be appropriate. Thanks, and if you need further comments, you may find me on my talk page. AngChenrui (talk) 12:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

The history of Arrow Scout Group has been preserved so that if anyone is interested, they may consider merging some information. As of now, the article about Victoria School needs an overhaul. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:24, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
