A Request for Contributions to the School Archives:
The school is now forming an archives of historical material and memorabilia, and would like to request contributions from all former students, please. Instead of consigning your old report cards, photographs, badges, and other similar material to the rubbish bin, please consider sending such items to the school for storage, for the benefit of researchers and other students. Any assistance is very much appreciated.
The author of this page welcomes further contributions of photographs and memoirs from former students, and staff of St. Patrick's School. Please address all comments, criticism and contributions to the address link shown below. Thank you for any and all assistance with these pages.

The Singapore Volunteer Corps was a militia unit formed in this British island colony in the 19th Century. At a later stage, island residents were permitted to enlist in the unit, resulting in the formation of Chinese, Malay and Eurasian Companies. This particular site relates to one of those Companies.
