Principal's Welcome

Victoria is something more

Welcome to Victoria Junior College! As you stepped into our college, you may have noticed the lyrics of our Victorian Anthem proudly painted (by Victorians!) on the walkway. Our College Vision - Victoria is Something More: Lead, Serve, Excel - is inspired by the College anthem:

Victoria is something more,

The school that watch’d us grow.

Indeed, for more than 40 years, many Victorians have grown and excelled in their chosen fields. Yet, perhaps the more important tis: what makes VJC something more? 

I started my journey as an educator here in VJC and when I left for other postings, it was the camaraderie with colleagues and students that I missed. When I returned as the College’s principal four years ago, I can again feel the fellowship and warmth of this community. Camaraderie is in our DNA, and I am certain that if you have stepped into VJC, you would have felt it too.

During our performing arts concerts, in the sport arena, various competitions and our College events, the legendary Victorian spirit is there for all to see. Victorians uplift one another, and as the Principal, I can proudly say that win or lose, V Got Your Back. 

In your two years here, you will discover your strengths and define your own version of “Outstanding”. At VJC, being outstanding is not about fitting into a fixed mould, but about striving for excellence in ways that are meaningful to you. You will also encounter new ideas, unfamiliar situations and moments that will test you. But fret not, your peers, teachers, family, and the wider Victorian community will cheer you on, every step of the way. 

At VJC, you will experience the joy of learning, fuelled by curiosity, guided by integrity, and driven by a strong sense of purpose to make a positive impact. Through our total curriculum, we will empower you to lead the college and the community with conviction, courage and compassion.

Now is your time. Step forward with confidence and make the most of every opportunity. Be outstanding academically, in leadership, in service, and in character. Lead, serve and excel, in your chosen fields. 

As you embark on this journey, carry forward the Victorian spirit and let our anthem inspire you:

Victoria’s fame and our intent, to keep her flag unfurled.

Nil Sine Labore!
