Victoria school Chinese orchestra was founded in 1974.
It had only 20 members when it started and fewer instructors.
VSCO only saw more participation in the 1980s and hence started to take part in community events such as mid-autumn festival concerts and Chinese new year celebrations,
VSCO had greater changes in 1990s as the Singapore government's efforts to promote participation in CCAs in schools.VSCO hence got more funds to buy better instruments and to hire renowned instructors from the Singapore Chinese orchestra .
VSCO started to participate in SYF central judging in 1997 and they also joined every SYF afterwards. They got
1997,2003,2005,2007,2009-gold

performance 3
VSCO in 1974 was not a very good start for them as there were not many participants in them.
VSCO only saw more participation in the 1980s and hence started to take part in community events such as mid-autumn festival concerts and Chinese new year celebrations,
but after the 1980s, VSCO started to have more participants. At first, the VSCO only had one practice per week which is on Thursday but as time progressed, the training extended from one day a week to three days a week, improving the VSCO's quality by miles. At the time near the 1990's, the VSCO started to participate in every SYF competitions. They also bagged a few trophies and most of them were the gold awards. these are the awards:
1997,2003,2005,2007,2009-gold
1999-silver
2001 -certificate of participation
Here are the current instructors for the VSCOMondays and Thursdays are sectional while Saturday is combined practice

Plucked-strings: Mr Seetoh Poh Lam (司徒宝男)
VSCO improved so much that it became a main CCA in VS now and holds quite a large sum of willing and eager participants.VSCO has already won a lot of awards and let's hope, for VS that they will win even more in future.

History write up
I think that the secondary 3 camp is good for the sec 3 victorians as it can teach them values which they can apply in their daily lifes. Some of the values are resilience, teamwork and trust. They can learn how to be resilient by not giving up when they meet difficulties if they are not resilient and give up in the face of difficulties, they will not be able to succeed in life.
Teamwork
They also must learn to work with other people as a team if not a lot of thing cannot be done for example you have only one idea for a project and if you have many people you have more choice as if one person has one idea you will have a good variety of ideas to choose and work on. Also without teamwork what will this world become? Do you think someone can succeed without teamwork? Only a small chance.
Trust
They also must learn to trust their friends or else they would not be able to cooperate and do things together and will accuse one another for minute things.
The PE department had organized obstacles and challenges made for sec 3 camp. The obstacles test on the ability to trust in each other and leadership qualities must be present in other to complete the task.
Determination
Determination is a must in sec 3 camp to overcome this challenges. The video which shows the camp leaders preparing for the sec 3 camp by carrying and loading the canoes onto a truck to be delivered to the campsite. The canoes are heavy and yet they did not complain and carry out the chore.
Leadership
A leader must be strict in his decisions and command the camp leaders to carry out the preparation of the sec 3 camp. Without a leader the whole preparation would not be efficient and the task will not be completed. Not only a leader must be present but also people who need to follow the orders commanded by the leader.
Importance of the roles
They are important as the leader and without listening to the orders given out by the leader, nothing can be conveyed between the leader and his followers. So this shows that leadership is important in our daily lives and shows that everybody have to play their role as a leader or follower in carrying out the activities efficiently and smoothly.
Hard work
Even the preparations requires a lot of hard work and qualities that a Victorian must have
The quote reported by a sec 3 before the camp tells us that the hard work and people who make the sec 3 camp real. The people, teachers, students and hired workers, to set up the camp had put in a lot of hard work into it. This tells me that the sec 3 camp requires a lot of hard work. Hard work is important to make the sec 3 camp such a success.
Sportsmanship
At the camp itself, winning is not that important. Winning through cheating and crime is one of the most disgraceful thing to do. It is the hard work the put in that make them the winner that day.
Through the obstacles, qualities such as perseverance will be embedded into our hearts.
Perseverance
Without perseverance, we would easily give up and abandon the task and we would not be successful unlike the other group which had put in hard work into completing the obstacles or challenges thrown by the PE department.
Bonding
The secondary 3 camp is also a perfect time that the sec 3 victorians can bond with tier new classmates and have fun together.
Conclusion
Finally, I conclude that the sec 3 camp is good for all the Victorians from sec 3. It is a memorable way to learn values and many other things trough fun and games.
Sec 3 camp is a camp to develop leadership qualities in Victorians. The sec 3s are required to enter a mandatory camp to achieve the suspected results. They are required to canoe from one place to another in the sea and track through muddy tracks through the jungle and complete tasks or obstacles. Not only that this camp will bond the whole class as a family and they need to work together to complete various tasks set by the peer leaders in an attempt to bond them as a team. Teamwork is the most difficult thing to achieve as some of us disagree with one another but this camp will help them to bond as a team. They are needed to canoe to the campsite on the kayaks from east coast to changi.
Kayak is being assembled at the indoor sports hall to be brought to the campsite for the kayak activities. "Through the year's, we've constantly sought to refine the camp and with Veloci-T in its third year as a unified training program, we've incorporated several changes. Last year, we introduced the Kouze and Posner, Leadership Challenge as a framework on which to base our training activities.
This year we have further refined the modules to bring out these themes.
We also brought back the coastal navigation element where the boys kayaked and rafted from East Coast to Changi Coast Adventure Campsite.
Today, we prepped for the camp by begining the intial phase by transporting the kayaks and rafts to VS to prepare for tomorrows event.
Many thanks to our partners and stakeholders from Griffin Kinetic Logistcs who generously supported us with their transport services to enable us to achieve this massive endeavour of 30 double kayaks, , as well as the paddles and life vests." Said one sec 3 camper before the camp.
