VJC 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner

On 27 July 2024, more than a thousand alumni, former staff and distinguished guests gathered at Shangri-La Singapore to commemorate Victoria Junior College's 40th Anniversary with a gala dinner. From members of the pioneer batch to recently graduated J3s, the evening brought together four decades of Victorians in a heartfelt celebration of shared memories, lifelong friendships and the remarkable journey of the college.

The gala dinner celebrated not only the milestones of VJC, but also the people who have shaped its legacy. Alumni reconnected with former classmates and teachers, reminisced over cherished moments, and renewed friendships that have endured long after graduation. The occasion reflected the strong bonds forged through the VJC experience and the lasting pride shared across generations of Victorians.

The celebration was made especially memorable with the presence of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, a member of the Class of 1989, who attended as Guest of Honour. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed a programme of speeches, performances and commemorative moments that honoured the college's achievements while celebrating the vibrant community that continues to carry the Victorian spirit forward.

As VJC marked its 40th anniversary, the gala dinner was more than a celebration of the past—it was a tribute to the enduring relationships, shared values and collective achievements that define the college. Bringing together generations of alumni under one roof, the evening reaffirmed that while campuses may change and time moves on, the Victorian spirit continues to unite the community for years to come.
