were the pivotal moments in games hosted at Victoria

Institution – never short of action and competition.

Covid-19 hit and everything changed.

The blues could no longer roar. Nothing was allowed

– no training, no club meetings, no cheering on the

benches and there were no sports events held.

Instead, the weekly co-curricular activity was also

held online. Every Wednesday teacher advisors and

students, duly get together via google meet to hold

online meetings. Not much could be achieved in the

way of physical activity, but there was camaraderie.

Here is the conundrum though - what is the VI

Aquatic Club without the VI pool or what is the VI

Cadet Corps Band (VICCB) without their musical

instruments?

Committee members and teachers worked tirelessly

to conduct fun and interactive club meetings. The

implementation of online co-curricular activities is

important to introduce new members to their

respective organizations. It’s far from what we are

used to but it enables students to learn new skills and

bond among seniors and juniors. And as Victorians,

we are a breed that can adapt for we stand tall and

proud being scholars, sportsmen, and gentlemen.

The Covid-19 pandemic had not only brought to
everyone a deadly virus, but it also brought about a
new norm of the lifestyle of doing nothing at home.
Acknowledging this matter, Victoria Institution’s
Interact Club (VIIC) took the opportunity to capture
the attention of gamers around the country by
organizing the VIIC E-SPORTS TOURNAMENT 2021
from the 27th to 28th of March.

event had its opening and closing ceremony

Team “Escape Origin” earned the honour of the
first-ever Champion in this event by taking down
“Kolam Surau” after an intense and strategic
match of tower defence in the Grand Finals. Aside
from the two teams, team “Zutsu” had also played
very well as they were the second runner-up.
As a result, the event went perfectly smooth.

of Kuala Lumpur"
From the 13th through the 19th of April 2021, fellow club

members started off the community service by distributing

bags of goods containing dates, prayer mats, juice boxes,

peanuts and face towels to all academic and non-academic

staff of VI, using club funds and sponsorships.

Thanks to the Rotary Club of Pudu, funding of some RM6000

was given and the VIIC were able to continue their efforts by

donating RM300 to twenty Victorians whose families were in

need of financial aid.

It didn’t just stop there, through a partnership with an NGO

that advocates for the protection of homeless people, the

VIIC strategically channelled club funds to provide blankets

to the homeless people of Kuala Lumpur.

All this was made possible thanks to the leadership of the

club directors as well as teamwork among club members

under the guidance of their respective teacher advisors.

Kudos to the VIIC and all involved for thinking of our school

and the community, especially during these trying times.
