Squash is a high-intensity sport where players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. How do you win? You simply hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to return the shot. Don’t underestimate the tiny, dull ball! When hit with the right technique, it can reach unbelievable speeds of up to 280 km/h.

Others are just perplexed by the fact that a softball is not actually soft. For us, softball is a sport that brings different groups of people together, a sport that brings us joy!

Tucked behind the school, unbeknownst to most students, hides Raffles Institution’s very own shooting range—a second home to our shooters. Singapore’s strict gun laws have limited one’s knowledge to merely Nerf guns, yet Raffles Shooting is more than familiar with the feeling of firing a shot.

When you think of sailing, what comes to mind? Popeye the Sailor Man or Pirates of the Caribbean? Take a mental image of a sailboat, shrink it, and paint the boat white; now you’ve got yourself picturing a modern sailboat!  We want to put it out there—sailing is not the same as canoeing or dragon-boating, contrary to popular belief. Performing the rowing action and claiming it is sailing in front of a sailor is a foolproof way of rocking the boat!
