[edit] Victorian
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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doraemon1 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] drama SYF gold
this article overexaggerates that accomplishment, implying that VS won that competition, "..against powerhouses.." such as SCGS and NYGH. This is untrue, the Gold award merely places the school's drama performance in a broad category, akin to a distinction - below Gold w/honours which would denote a top 7(?) school. I find it highly unlikely that the other-mentioned schools would have done worst. Other schools have routinely achieved Gold awards on their first SYF attempts, for example Chestnut Drive Sec, and Gan Eng Seng (Sec), in drama in a year alone. A fine accomplishment perhaps, certainly not outstanding.
I further question the link between a strong drama tradition, should it exist, and a high general standard of english within the school.
does the accomplishment re 2004 debate refer to the Julia Gabriel-organized national competition? or..? can the article attempt to clarify that. If so, there are 3 tiers within that competition, A, B and C, for schools of different ability, which one did VS make it to the quarterfinals for? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scyum (talk • contribs).
[edit] inaccuracy
there is an inaccurate use of the pictures and descriptions and rules are slightly inaccurate as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.21.154.14 (talk • contribs).
- A Victorian here - Kindly explain or clarify the above statement. Otherwise it will be just another blowing hot airs type of comments. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.74.220.76 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Victoria Continuation School
Is Victoria Continuation School another name of Victoria School or related to VS? There used to be Anglo-Chinese Continuation (old name of ACS) and St Andrew's Continuation School which is part of the St Andrew's family. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.243.218.4 (talk • contribs).
- A Victorian here - "Continuation School" are used after WW2 to indicated schools that took in 'past their ideal age' students that miss their education due to the war. There isn't an official name change, at least not for Victoria School. However, when 1st President of Singapore Yusof B. Ishak was at Victoria School, it was known as Victoria Bridge School. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.74.220.76 (talk • contribs).
Reply: Thanks for the info. Does this mean to say that when a person attended Victoria Continuation School, he effectively attended Victoria School, but as an overaged student? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.243.218.4 (talk • contribs).
