Day 1

The sun rose over the RI campus skyline, heralding the dawn of a new chapter in the lives of RI’s newest additions: the batch of 2025. Amidst the palpable anticipation and nervous excitement, the J1s streamed into the hall, their eyes eagerly scanning the bustling crowd. Orientation Group Leaders (OGLs) raised their self-decorated signboards, creating a sea of colours — red for Moor-Tarbet, green for Buckle-Buckley, yellow for Bayley-Waddle, blue for Morrison-Richardson and purple for Hadley-Hullett — to welcome the newest members of the Raffles Junior College family.
