Many people would say that ruggers are known for causing trouble, looking disproportionately big from spending a bit too much time in the gym, sleeping in lectures, making a bit too much noise in the canteen and wearing shorts to school while wearing a knee/ankle guard. And they’re not wrong.

Hello there and welcome to Students’ Council! As you can probably tell from the (slightly wonky) “38”, we are the 38th batch of Student Councillors. We stand as a 60-strong team, comprising different personalities and working styles, but all brought together by a common purpose of building a more inclusive and enjoyable Raffles experience for all, while remaining grounded and approachable to the very students we serve. By leveraging on our respective strengths, we are able to create a range of unique experiences for our schoolmates through a variety of events, such as the annual inter-house competition, Team Raffles Games (TRG), to National Day Celebrations and Mega Mugging Madness (MMM). Though the planning and execution of these events can take months, the joy and excitement our fellow Rafflesians experience make all our efforts worth it.

Game face on, no fear.
Push, sweep, hit; score, cheer.
There has always been an indescribable beauty in the dynamics of a game of hockey – the unspoken chemistry, the satisfactory burst of dopamine from the soft ‘thud’ of a good tackle, the palpitating silence before a short corner; but nothing truly beats the feeling of contentment from the sense of camaraderie – all amalgamating into what can only be described as “teamwork makes the dream work”.

“So what CCA are you in?” “Oh, golf.” “I thought Golf shutdown already?” This was the scenario that I faced a multitude of times over the course of last year. Golf is the smallest CCA in RJC, with a whopping head count of 2 in the current Y6 batch. It would be no surprise for a student to not even realise that such a CCA exists; the only time our presence is made known is during the announcement of our Inter-School results. As such, I will try to give a Golf 101 in the following paragraphs.
