Stories

It’s 600 days to RI Bicentennial! In the school’s wider narrative of Diversity, Inclusivity and Community Engagement, Rafflesians have been exemplars of the Rafflesian Spirit of Serving through community engagement - in school, through collaborations with our community partners, and for those who have graduated, championing causes close to their hearts. The stories below are but a few projects initiated by Rafflesians that have effected positive change in the community.
