It's 2009 now, 133 years after it's humble beginnings.
25 years after VJC was created.
During these 25 years, VJC had used the Victorian brand to nurture itself into becoming one of the top JCs in Singapore.
VS was VJC's mother.
It's already taking our top talents through the IP programme and now they want to take in students from Secondary 1?
In the event that a student gets a good result for his PSLE and sits down with his parents to discuss where he should go,
Do you think VS or VJC, offering a 6-year programme straight into university without going through O-Levels is more appealing?
The answer is obvious
This would only serve to the VS standard declining
They're stabbing us in the back
If the plans go through, and IF they managed to put it into action as early as the coming year,
The Sec 1s will take up some of the school's intake
Meaning that there'll be less spaces for not only us, but everyone
Even though it'd affect us less than our juniors, I fear that the day would come when 8 points with HML, CCA and affliation wouldn't land a VJC spot
It has always been said that VJC is the top JC in the East, and the bulk of them are Victorians and Cedarians, but if the places are limited, everyone loses, but we'll lose our pride too
I admit, I have aspirations to enter VJC, but I'm having doubts now
I feel that I'm not doing VS justice if I did
