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.
