Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Ariann Khoo (26S06B), Tara Teo (26A01D), Tomi Peh (26S06P)

How often do we pause to appreciate the silent backbone of our school — the non-teaching staff who make learning possible?

As Teachers’ Day draws near, Raffles Press delves into the lives of these unsung heroes: Ms Jossy (Admin staff), Ms Nurul and Mdm Lai (Science Lab staff), and Ms Winnie (Cleaning staff), exploring their daily routine, the challenges that they face, and their lives beyond their roles here in RI.

Is One Enough? The Single-CCA System (School Matters Special Edition 2025)
Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Isaac Chan (25A01B), Valerie Ng (25S06N)

In 2025, beginning with the Batch of 2026, it was announced that Y56 Rafflesians would no longer be allowed to take on two Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs). The only dual-CCA combinations allowed would be Council and a non-schedule-conflicting CCA.

Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Jane Ng (25S03D) and Tay Yu Ning (25S07A)

Let’s address the elephant in the room. By now, you probably would’ve noticed the major overhaul of the garden between Block A and B. Heard whispers of a new “Rewilding” initiative. Read our Nest@RI article and believed it.

In this climate (both social and literal) of budding social awareness about the environment, we’ve seen it start to pop up everywhere. From VIA groups, new initiatives in other schools, to even a CCA founded on the basis of environmental stewardship (One Earth), it was only a matter of time before RI management would follow suit.
