With Love, RI: CE01 Spotlight Special Edition 2026

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Gladys Koh (26A01B) and Irene Eva Thomas (26A01B)

Standing below the ribbed arches of the newly opened Singapore Oceanarium, we, the members of Raffles Press, were met with an unexpected sight: a kindergarten school excursion. Children milling around, bright-eyed and full of wonder, eagerly pointing to projections of sea creatures above. Truthfully, they were not much different from us—a group of bushy-tailed Rafflesians keenly jotting down the sights and senses around us.
