What caught our eye when we entered the foyer were the numerous school blazers and unfamiliar faces milling about. Guest Interactors from other schools were invited to observe the RI Interact Installation, an investiture of sorts, in a showcase of solidarity among the Singapore Interact Club community.

Last Friday night saw the PAC festooned with clapper board paraphernalia, pamphlets and balloons. Film Society members strategically assembled behind their front of house in anticipation of the audience slowly trickling into the Performing Arts Centre (PAC).
Whilst most events held within the PAC present for the stage, this particular one prepped for the big screen. Rewind IV: Final Cuts brightened the place with balloons, film posters, and even a special polaroid booth for a night of film screenings – not your average Hollywood blockbuster, but films produced entirely by the members of Film Society.

8AM, SATURDAY MORNING — on one end of our beloved school campus, sleepy students shuffled into Albert Hong Hall in mild disarray, ties-improperly-tied and collars askew. But at the other end, the festivities were only beginning.

It’s the time of the year when most concerts by Performing Arts CCAs have concluded, and student-organised charity concerts step into the frame. As one of the first of such concerts this year, THINGAMAJIG 2016 was a small-scale, cosy affair. It saw students gathering in the PAC on a Friday evening in support of a series of high-calibre performances. Throughout the event, there were opportunities to donate money to the beneficiary of the concert, which was Xin Yuan Community Care – a non-profit organisation that supports the needy elderly and children from low-income families.

Litweek
Students may have noticed quotes that have materialised on the walls next to lifts, lecture theatres and corridors over the paste week. Examples include “There is a castle on a cloud” and “And miles to go before I sleep” (fittingly written outside LT1). Reactions ranged from pleasant surprise to bewilderment. As one student put it, “just because it’s pretty doesn’t mean it’s not vandalism”.
The quotes alone, however, constituted only a small part of this year’s Literature Week (abbreviated as Litweek) in RI. Following the theme of “War”, a string of exciting activities were organised for students throughout the week, and the canteen turned into an active area for literature-related setups.
