I'm sure everyone's heard the news by now.VJC's submitted a proposal for a 6 year IP programme, that means one will spend his secondary school, as well as JC years in VJC. Quite the dastardly thing to do, isn't it?
Except we're forgetting a few things fellas. Calm down and think it through before you get worked up.
1) VJC is result oriented. We know that bit. They have every right to do what they're doing. That's why we always say VJC students aren't Victorians. They've been sold short. Any VS boy in VJ would tell you that.
2) You wanna run a good school? Run it like a business. No screwing around. If the management feels IP is the way to go for VJ, then IP it shall be.
3) VJC is currently run by a Rafflesian. You mean you expected him to care? Lol. In his words "We must respect Victoria School's decision not to go co-ed." Therefore we completely circumvent them and go 6 years! Respect indeed. Thanks for all the sensitivity and consideration!
4) VJC has the right to instill the values it wants. Don't go judging their actions. The offshoot shooting the parent plant makes plenty of sense to them, and it seems like it's something they want to inculcate in their students - success at any cost.
5) It's no secret that VS has always been bending over for VJ. Why change anything now right?! It's also no secret they've been trying to compete with HCI and RJC (RJC btw, assimilated both their feeder schools instead of going with a 6 year programme) for eons to no avail. This will be their trump card. HOO-AH!
Now that you've read the above, I hope you have a greater understanding of the situation.
Yes, VJC was born in 1984, fresh out of the mind of a VS boy, the late Dr. Ong Chit Chung, for Victorians wishing to pursue a tertiary education. VJC in 2009 however has changed. It's no longer for VS boys wanting a tertiary education. No big. Dog eat dog world right? What with Dunman and NJC entering the fray, they've gotta compete.
It's like them martial arts soap operas all over again. Cannibalize your parents and obtain greater powers, then you will win. Ah hell, yeah they do get foiled in the end, but it's real life, and in real life, this shit pays off. VJC is preparing its students for the real world - claw your way to the top, fighting tooth and nail, by any means necessary. Morals? Lol who cares?
VS does. Do what you want, just return us our crest, flag, song and name.
Viva la Victoria(School)
