Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Aniqa Norhazry (25S03D) and Huang Han Cheng (26S05B)

For Syaura Nashwa Rasyiddin (24S03R), journalism is more than just writing. Rather, it serves as a means to tell stories that matter, amplify voices that need to be heard, and ask the questions others are afraid to. As one of Raffles Press’ very own members, we are proud to highlight her story—how she has leveraged her talents in language to advocate for societal issues and bring awareness to issues important to her.

A-Level Features 2025: Teaching and Community
Reading Time: 7 minutes

By Koh Shin Robbie (26A01A), Michelle Lee (26S07A), and Peh Zhi Ning (25A01B)

As they step into the room, Hannah and Clarissa bring with them a calming aura, one that relaxes everyone, even us nervous Press journalists. Perhaps this has been solidly practised, along with ‘one silent claps’ and all the necessary skills to control primary and secondary schoolers. After all, despite being recent graduates, they’ve already taken on the title of ‘’Cher’.

Reading Time: 5 minutes

By Valerie Ng (25S06N) and Georgia Ong (26S03O)

Jorelle Yak (24S06C) is no stranger to stressful situations. Walking into the interview room on the day of the A Level results collection, there was barely any sign of his nerves. “I think I wouldn’t want to worry too much, ” was what he said, a testament to the impact that many years of playing badminton had on his character.

This video is a glimpse into that day: take a look at how it was like, hear what our Y7s had to say, and what advice our teachers have to give them.

We Aren’t Really Strangers: To the ‘26 Batch
Reading Time: < 1 minute

By Peh Zhi Ning (25A01B)

Coming into a new school can be scary. Scratch that. We’ve all tasted the anxiety and nervousness of the First Day, and felt the trepidation that laces your shoes. For the new batch of Year Fives coming into Raffles Institution on 7 February, it’s normal to feel the jitters. 

New friends, new subjects, new clothes (except for the RI Y1-4 guys) – entering RI can feel positively foreign. It may take a while to familiarise yourself with the maze of lecture theatres, to figure out what canteen stall is your favourite, or to find shortcuts back home.  Luckily, you’ll have time to acclimatise yourself within the school – with Orientation. 

But this video isn’t about Orientation, you cheeky Wayfinders. Rather, it’s about the people who will greet you as you don your Ori shirts for the first time.

After all, once you’ve watched this video, they aren’t really strangers.
