25th SEA Games @ Laos *Updated with Video

Fung Jinjie from Victoria School represented Singapore to participate in the 25th Seagames in Laos this year.

Jinjie and his team mates did Singapore and their schools proud when they emerged with the Silver in their Group Sparring event.



A triumphant Jin Jie said :
"The 25th seagames at Laos was really a very good experience to me. I am only 16 years old, so for me to participate in his major event and do singapore pround by winning a silver medal, is really a honour and a very good lesson for me."


"With 2 days of rest, on the day of event I felt really fresh and fit, I was really able to focus on my event and was confident that i would be able to do really well. The moment I stepped on the carpet, I told myself-" This is it."
I was really focused on performing the routine well and did not think of the outcome."



"At last, we did a perfect routine and got a score of 9.4 currently first position with only the Vietnam team left for the event. They too, did a perfect routine and their score was 9.5. They won us with a score of 0.1. I felt really delighted with the result as we got second place. Overall, I felt that the process of the competition was really good and it is not any usual competition that we would have that type of feeling. The 25th SEA Games at laos taught me alot of things and was really a wonderful journey and experience for me."


Well done, Jin Jie
We are really proud of you.

You have placed Victoria School and Victoria School's Wushu team on the map!

VS Wushu Team CNY Performances for Pri School

Today, the VS Wushu Team was invited to Chong Zheng Primary School as well as Coral Pri School to perform for their Chinese New Year Celebrations.

Jinjie was formerly from Chong Zheng, so it was a good way for him to go back and perform since his sister is also still studying there.
Our team was even more fortunate to have the assistance of Jin Jie's father, who skillfully played the part of the Big Headed Doll in our Lion Dance! Watch him tease and toy with our VS Lion played by Ryan and Yuda


Our C Div boys did a great job, even though many were just new members that have just joined us in Sec 1.
Here they are doing their Group Quan:


At Coral Primary, the crowd as so enthusiastic! It's really fun performing for Primary School kids- so much joy and energy!


The 'Waaaaahs' and 'Ooooohs' from the Primary School kids definitely made our boys feel good!

Ryan and Darren were given a chance to share their wushu experiences with their juniors in Coral Primary school. Indeed it was with joy and pride that I was able to see our VS Wushu Team share their pride in how Victoria School has nurtured them into Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen

After this, is off for a few days rest with family before we begin our next round of demonstrations.

Congrats to the team, especially Team Capt Ryan for his hard work in mastering the Lion. Well done Yuda for being a fantastic Lion Tail- the both of you are dynamite.

The next few months will be tough, with many demos and preparing for competition- that is why you must drop by my place in the hostel, like Ryan and gang, and use my Osim I-Squeeze to soothe your tired muscles.

Have a Happy New Year boys! We will perserve and strive hard in the year ahead.
Regardless what obstacles that are placed in our way, I promise you that we will overcome them all together as a team!

1-2-3, "HHHHHUUUUUUAAAAAAAAATTT-aaaaahh"

My hopes, my pride and my inspiration....

As the school celebrated our good performance in the O-Levels today, Wayne and Sean came up to me.
Wayne was the Wushu Team Captain and Sean, was one of my Vice-Captains- they were the first batch of students to graduate from the wushu team since we were first formalised.

Wayne score 7 points for his L1R5 and Sean got an astounding 6points!


I am damn proud of you both and all the other boys in the wushu team.
This post will be a testament to history that the first official Team Captain and our Vice Captain, not only won the Bronze for us in the B-Div Choreographed Sparring but also were part of the B-Div team that broke into top 4 in 2008 by clinching 3rd place through the hard work of all the team members.

In this blog post, I leave behind a glorious memory and inspiration for all your juniors to follow.
May all of you who walk through the gates of Victoria, emerge as Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen- well-rounded individuals with the courage to fight for the right things and to never give up.

Baguan Seminar by Master Sun ZhiJun (28th Dec)

On Sun 28th Dec, Victoria School's Wushu Team round up our last seminar presentaion with Master Sun Zhijun from China.

Master Sun, his senior disciples Madam Ge Chun Yan and Madam Mi Jin Pei gave strong theoretical insights into the nature of internal Chinese Martial Arts.

Students were then given a chance to show case their learning and to recieve pointers from the various teachers regarding their form, movement and applications
Here we see the students going through the core footwork of Bagua Zhang:


Members of the public were present at our seminar and it allow martial enthusiasts and novices alike to gain an insight into the depth and breath of Chinese Martial Arts.

We hope that Victoria School will be able to continue our efforts to contribute to the growth of the martial arts community in Singapore so that we can spread the love and passion for Wushu to benefit all practictioners.

Join us as we work diligently towards this goal!

38th East Zone Colors Awards (2008)

Today, was the presentation ceremony for the East Zone Sports Colors Awards.
This year was a special year for Victoria School in many ways.

First off, the cover design for the backdrop and program (seen above) was chosen from artwork submitted by students in the East Zone. Our very own Victorian,Ong Kang Sheng from Sec 2D, had his design selected to grace the cover and the facade for the ceremony.

In all we took 11 Team awards and 15 Individual awards.



It was a fitting welcome for our new VP Mr Anith who just reccently joined VS in June. In his short time with us, Mr Anith has already made himself an integral part of the Victorian family and his presence at the award ceremony made it all the more special for the boys.


This year's award ceremony was special for another reason. In the short time that Wushu was introduced in VS, we have managed to break through into National Top-4 ini both the B and C Divisions.

The B-Div boys managed to take National 3rd place.


While the C-Div boys managed to clinch National 2nd.


This means that next year, we will have to keep working harder to push ourselves.
With the potential in the team and the effort that we know we can put in, I am sure that next year we will be able to do better.

Let us work together boys, all the sports, all the CCAs and make tomorrow better than today.
