An Introduction to Advocacy 

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”

In a world teeming with complexities and contradictions, we often find ourselves ensnared in the web of our routines, barely noticing the injustices that simmer beneath the surface. Community Advocates (CA) seeks to be the voice that speaks up for the underprivileged, the hand that reaches out in action to them, the catalyst for change against the tide of indifference.

At Raffles, life can sometimes feel like a whirlwind of lessons, deadlines, and commitments. Yet, amidst the hustle, there are students who choose to dedicate their time and energy to something bigger than themselves—serving others. That’s why Raffles Interact, the oldest Interact Club in Singapore (established in 1963), was inaugurated. 

We are a community of like-minded individuals united by one belief: service is not about awards, accolades, or collecting VIA hours. It’s about showing up for others, giving our best, and living out our motto—“Service before Self.”

Reading Time: 7 minutes

By Michelle Chen (President), Lau Jia Hern (Vice President – Houses), Wong E Vee (Vice President – Departments), Bertram Wang (Secretary – Resources), Michelle Lee (Secretary – Finances) 

You’ve probably seen us before – that suspiciously large group hogging a corner of the canteen. That’s us, the 45th Students’ Council, all 59 of us. We know, compared to other CCAs, we’re huge.  

And because of that, many think we’re just a crowd — too big to be close, too many to connect with the school. But with 59 voices, 59 ideas, and 59 pairs of hands, as a councillor you have a bigger family to belong to, and as a student you have more ears to hear you.
