History

Victoria Institution has one of the oldest prefectorial board in Southeast AsiaIn the 1880s, Raffles Institution in Singapore flourished as an outstanding school. Some prominent citizens, including the Kapitan Cina (Chinese Captain) of Kuala Lumpur, Yap Kwan Seng, Towkay Loke Yew, and Thamboosamy Pillay, saw the need for a good English school in Kuala Lumpur. With the support of British Resident at Selangor, Sir William Hood Treacher and donation from Sultan Abdul Samad, The Sultan of Selangor, they built the Victoria Institution in 1893. The name of the school commemorates the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Victoria Institution has a majestic clocktower overlooking two sports pavilion and a vast field, surrounded by aged colonial-era trees (yellow flame trees and palms). The structures that make up the Institution itself are a heritage of the nation. While the modern-day Ministry of Education has added many rectangular-shaped blocks to the Institution, the distinctive "E" shape of the main block is still one of the more interesting features of Kuala Lumpur.

However, the present day location of Victoria Institution on Petaling Hill (previously a Chinese cemetery area), is not the original site for VI. The original school building was located at Jalan Bandar, and was officially opened on the 30th of July 1894. In March 1929 the school shifted its location to Jalan Hang Tuah, as the old location was frequently flooded by the nearby Klang River during heavy downpours. The old VI building was used as police station, art gallery, office block, theatre, until a fire in 1999 burnt down the historical building. The wall and the floor survived the fire and it was renovated and brought back to the glory days of the old VI building.Reference.

VI also has its own swimming pool and synthetic track for 100 metres sprint event, making it the only school in the region with these facilities

The school song

The original 1949 version with words and punctuation by G. F. Jackson. The song is sung to the tune of 'Garudamas Igitur', one of the oldest students' songs (author unknown). The school song alludes to the free and easy student life of medieval times.

Let us now with thankfulness
Praise the founders of our School.
Let us now with thankfulness
Praise the founders of our School
For their foresight and devotion,
Some who came across the ocean,
Some Malaysia's own sons,
All true Victorians.

Let us next remember here
All who passed through this our School.
Let us next remember here
All who passed through this our School,
Not one race but one in feeling
For a school to each appealing
That instruction be not all
Nor this School just roof and wall.

Let us lastly pledge ourselves
Ever to uphold our School.
Let us lastly pledge ourselves
Ever to uphold our School.
In our work and in our leisure,
With such zeal and in such measure
That the new Victorians
Match with Old Victorians.


[edit] Lagu Sekolah
Words by Zainab bt Yusop

Sanjungan didendangkan
Pengasas nan budiman
Sanjungan didendangkan
Pengasas nan budiman
Kerana jasa khidmat mulia
Yang mengharung samuderaya
Dan putera Malaysia
Kekal cita Victoria

Kenangan dilayangkan
Pada semua lepasan
Kenangan dilayangkan
Pada semua lepasan
Lain bangsa satu cita
Diingatkan pada semua
Ilmu zahir utama
Rohani pun setara

Ikrar pula lafazkan
Junjung sekolah pujaan
Ikrar pula lafazkan
Junjung sekolah pujaan
Dalam usaha gerak laku
Warisan lama dan baru
Bergandingan, bersatu
Hidup Victoria diaju
