Victorian Culture - The Victorian Spirit (exurb taken from wikipedia.com)

Victoria School prides itself on its strong esprit de corps. Students, old boys and staff alike will start cheering for the school during sporting events, as well as other important events. This strong spirit is indeed one of the key trademarks of Victoria School which distinguishes VS from other schools at these events.

VS never fails to be one of the largest and most colourful contingent in sporting events such as the National Championships. Like in previous years, nearly the whole student population which amounted to more than 1000 students (who fondly call themselves Victorians) made their way down to Turf City to support their school Cross-Country team which put up a good show that day and swiped the championship titles clean in the 2005 Annual National Cross-Country Championships meet. This perfectly exemplifies the kind of bonds the students in VS share, and how the institution emulates its core values such as Tradition - an institutional core value which they strongly hold on to in light of their long history as one of Singapore's oldest educational institutions.

VS students clearly have a distinctively strong sense of pride for their institution, and more often than not ends such big events with the famous school spelling cheer and singing the school song (known as the Victorian Anthem amongst the student populace).
