“To set the bar, and raise it higher!”

The Raffles Institution National Cadet Corps (RINCC) is the premier National Cadet Corps unit in Singapore, being the first Cadet Corps unit to be established. It is also the oldest of all six Uniformed Groups present in Raffles Institution.

The history of RINCC dates as far back as May 1901, when C. M. Philips, the acting principal of Raffles Institution, formed a Cadet Corps unit comprising existing and ex-Rafflesians.

People have many different impressions of what softball is. Some see it as merely a game involving heavy equipment, awkward tan lines and bruises. Others are just perplexed by the fact that a softball is not actually soft! Well, take some time to learn about the sport and you’ll realise that it is way more than that.

The atmosphere freezes as everyone holds their breath. The final point. The point that would earn us victory. The point that would allow us to stand the highest on the podium. The ball is served and it flashes back and forth, with both players keeping up with immense speed, reflexes and agility. With the final swing, the Rafflesian puts all his strength onto the ball. One bounce on the other side of the table, and the ball lands on the floor. The stadium erupts into chaos and deafening cheers as his teammates rush into the court, embracing the player with such enthusiasm that makes it hard for him to breathe.

 When you think of sailing, what comes to mind? Popeye the Sailor Man, or Pirates of the Caribbean? Take this mental image of a sailboat, shrink it and paint the boat white; now you’ve got yourself picturing a modern sailboat! We want to put it out there — sailing is not the same as canoeing or dragon-boating, contrary to popular belief. Performing the rowing action and claiming that it is sailing in front of a sailor is a foolproof way of rocking the boat!
