With Love, RI: CE01 Spotlight Special Edition 2026

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Foreword by Chairperson Ariann Khoo (26S06B), Raffles Press ’26

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. If you find yourself pondering over which CE01 to join, or wondering how, as students, we can impact the larger community beyond RI, I was once in your shoes.

Inspiring an Ocean of Change: A Glance into the Singapore Oceanarium

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Stepping into the newly renovated Singapore Oceanarium (previously the SEA Aquarium), visitors are greeted by a splash of colour: sea jellies of all shapes and sizes adorn the entrance of the expanded marine arsenal.

But in the midst of learning more about species such as the iconic fried egg jellies at each tank’s refreshed graphical exhibitions, a giant mop would soon plunge into their waters. 

It was cleaning and feeding hour at the Oceanarium, and the sea jelly team of marine biologists were beginning the process of caring for their blobby friends. Coincidental as it was, this was the prelude to our upcoming experience—the “Animal Spotlight: Sea Jellies” package.

When I was in RJC…

Reading Time: < 1 minute

By Georgia Ong (26S03O), Looi Ee Xin (26S03M), Nicole Lee (26S05A)

This Teacher’s Day, Raffles Press took a blast from the past — we reached out to four current RI teachers who previously were RI students. What was RI like back then? How did their school life differ from us? 

Armed with a camera, a mic and some burning questions, we set out to find the answers to these questions.
