Houses

Rafflesians are grouped into five Houses named after headmasters and key figures from RI’s early years. Each House is led by a student committee and has a unique identity, colour, mascot and cheers. Students win points for their Houses by participating in Inter-House activities, and the House with the most points is awarded the House Plaque in a rousing final assembly at the end of the year.

The names of the Year 5–6 Houses are amalgamations of the RGS and RI (Year 1–4) House names. Students who join RI at Year 5 are evenly allocated into the five Houses.
