The school is widely known as VI, and a student of the Victoria Institution is known as a Victorian. Performing well both academically and in sports, the VI is considered one of the best non-residential schools in Malaysia. In 2007, VI was named as a Cluster School of Excellence by the then Minister of Malaysian Ministry of Education, Hishamuddin Hussein.

The post-war period

On 13 September 1945, the school was the site of the formal surrender of the 29th Imperial Japanese Army to Lieutenant-General Ouvry Roberts of the 34th Indian Corps.

Student life

It is a rule that all freshman students are required to join at least one uniform body, take on an active role in one of the school's 50 clubs, and participate in at least one sport. Some students are also in the school’s hostel. Hence, the school's students aren't limited to Kuala Lumpur residents only, but also kids who are from other states. Because the school is in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, most students also hang out at the mall after school ends. Transport is easy too because a

Traditions and heritage

The prefect disciplinary system is very much similar to the traditions first laid out by the school's second headmaster, Major Richard Sidney (VI First Prefects). Detention classes and community service are still the common penalties for misdemeanours in the VI, while such traditions are no longer in practice in many Malaysian schools. The VI is also home to the oldest cadet corps in the country, the Victoria Institution Cadet Corps (affiliated with the Malaysian Army and the first to receive Colours in 1960 in honor of the role played in the Second World War), the oldest cadet corps band in the country, the Victoria Institution Cadet Corps Band, and the oldest scout group in the country, the First Kuala Lumpur Scout Troop. The First Kuala Lumpur Scout Troop split into two troops in 1933 thus establishing the First Kuala Lumpur Scout Troop and the Second Kuala Lumpur Scout Troop. The official name of the Second Kuala Lumpur Scout Troop today is the Victoria Scout Group. The VI has annual events such as the Military Tattoo (performance by marching bands and cadets), Scouts' Campfire (rescue act by senior scouts), Annual Sports Carnival, Speech Days, and Science Fairs. The Victoria Institution is the only school in Malaysia that has its own Edinburgh-styled

hit, it was known to students as ‘Lines’ where the school’s prefects would shout “LINES!” that would be audible throughout the whole school to check the student's attire to make sure they were perfect. If a student doesn't have complete attire (the school's pin badge, a name tag, or a tie) the student must go to the Prefect Room 30 minutes before ‘Lines’ start to get an ‘Excuse Slip’ so they won't be called to the ‘Back’ of the line. ‘Lines’ start every day at 7:20 am before school starts and at 10:20 am after recess. Each session would be 20 minutes. If a group of students behaved badly, they will be called to the Prefects Room to receive punishment either detention or a warning. The school also has its own school magazine and school newspaper. The magazine, The Victorian, is published annually for the benefit of the students. The school newspaper, The Seladang (the name derived from the seladang head in the school crest), was first published in 1953 and ceased publication circa 2016.

Motto

''Be Yet Wiser; To be a Scholar, Sportsman and a Gentleman'' Strictly, the school has no official motto at all. The first motto is actually that of the school newspaper, "The Seladang", founded in October 1953. It was selected by the first editor, R. Nithiahnanthan, and displayed on its front-page banner under the head of the seladang taken from the school crest. Over time the motto seems to have been hijacked as that of the school. The motto is derived from the Biblical proverb, "Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser." "To be a scholar, sportsman and a gentleman" was actually quoted from an interview, in the late 1960s, in the school magazine "The Victorian", with the then headmaster, Mr V. Murugasu, in which the headmaster expressed his belief in what all Victorians should aspire to be. Over time these two aphorisms seem to have been accepted as school mottos, although there have been no official declarations as such.

Houses

There are eight sport houses in the VI. The sports houses compete against each other on

. The Victoria Institution Sports Day has been held since 1897, and is widely regarded as a citywide event, with huge crowds converging on the Victoria Institution field in the early days. The houses are named after the founders, benefactors and even supporters of the school. Initially there were ten houses, including two which do not exist today—Nugent Walsh House and Steve Harper House. After the school premises were moved to the present Petaling Hill and the VI became a secondary school, there were only five houses—Shaw, Treacher, Yap Kwan Seng, Hepponstall and Thamboosamy—because of the fewer number of students. However, after the war, with increased demand for education, three new houses were added—Rodger, Davidson and Loke Yew—making the total eight. The present houses are: * Thamboosamy, green * Lee Kuan Yew (formerly known as Hepponstall, named after the first acting Headmaster of VI), yellow * Sultan Abdul Samad (formerly known as Davidson, named after the Infant School supervisor, Elizabeth Davidson), purple *
