The Raffles Science Symposium (RSS) is an annual event, where Rafflesians from Raffles Girls’ School and Raffles Institution (Y16) congregate to showcase their research projects and passion for science. The symposium also acts as a lead up to the Singapore Science and Engineering Fair (SSEF), providing students with the opportunity to practice their presentation and oral skills before the competition.
