At RGS, students journey beyond traditional boundaries
in their pursuit of knowledge. Providing holistic education
through a challenging, broad-based academic curriculum
helps our students develop analytical thinking skills and an
appreciation for lifelong learning.
Our distinctive Raffles Programme (RP) stretches and
nurtures the high ability girl. By by-passing the GCE ‘O’ Level
examinations, she has more time to develop holistically and
pursue different areas of interest. A distinctive feature of the
RP is The Raffles Academy. The Raffles Academy serves as
the talent development platform of the RP to nurture highly
able students in the academic domain.
The Raffles Diploma (RD) is a certification that recognises
student participation and achievements in a wide spectrum
of programmes in all the five domains of development. This
certification celebrates the commitment of students who take
up opportunities which nurture their talents in areas beyond
the academic and acknowledges the peaks of excellence
attained by the student. In this way, the RD aims to challenge
and expand the traditional definition of success based on the
GCE ‘A’ Level certification.
Cognisant of the impact of ICT in pedagogy, integration of
ICT with teaching and learning prepares the RGS girl with
21st century lifeskills for a digital world.
[8]
◗ The Raffles Programme
The Raffles Programme offers a seamless curriculum from
Year 1 to Year 6 (Years 1-4 in RGS, Years 5-6 in Raffles
Institution), culminating in the Singapore-Cambridge General
Certificate in Education (GCE) ‘Advanced’ Level Examination.
Its mission is to nurture the best and brightest into men and
women of scholarship, who will be leaders of distinction and
committed to excellence, spirit of enterprise, and service for
the common good in the interest of the nation. Through
the programme, we want to nurture the next generation of
thinkers, leaders and pioneers.
The Raffles Programme specifically caters to highly capable
students who are the top 3% of their cohort. It provides a
holistic education through a challenging academic curriculum
that is broad-based, and which will develop analytical thinking
skills and an appreciation for lifelong learning. The nonacademic curriculum emphasises the cultivation of lifeskills
such as resilience, teamwork, problem-solving and decisionmaking.
Based on the principles of the Integrated Curriculum Model
(Van Tassel-Baska, 1986) that was developed for high ability
learners, the key elements of the curriculum include advanced
content knowledge, higher order process and product work,
and cross-disciplinary concept development.
Raffles Programme students will also benefit from:
• Multiple options for research and independent learning,
with opportunities for mentorship, research studies,
industrial attachments and options for service learning
and aesthetic development
• Character and Leadership Education, where the cultivation
of personal effectiveness, national consciousness and the
development of leadership qualities and competencies, are
undertaken in an explicit way through the programmes
designed
• The Raffles Philosophy course that aims to nurture a
community of inquirers with strong empathy and wellhoned reasoning and skills in intellectual discourse.
◗ The Raffles Academy
The Raffles Academy is RGS’ talent development component for
specialised areas of learning in the Humanities, Mathematics,
Science and Technology, and the Arts. It caters to students
with special gifts, talents and passions in specific disciplines
with the aim to nurture their pioneering spirit, innovative
disposition and develop their distinct abilities.
The Raffles Academy provides a unique environment, in both
physical and intellectual terms, for the scholarly pursuit at
the highest possible level in each of these disciplines. Students
attend pull-out classes for up to a maximum of two subject
areas from Years 3-6, (Years 5-6 in Raffles Institution) where
they are given the opportunity to accelerate and advance their
learning.
Special programmes in the Raffles Academy include the
following:
• Advanced and enriched option modules enabling students
to pursue their areas of passion at a higher level of rigour
and depth and to explore and cultivate other areas of
interest
• Internship/Mentorship with academics from tertiary
institutions and leading practitioners from industries
• Overseas attachment and collaboration opportunities, and
participation at international platforms and forums.
To qualify for the Raffles Academy, students must obtain a
strong overall Grade Point Average as well as an outstanding
Grade Point for the subject they want to apply for.
[9]
◗ The Raffles Diploma
◗ 2011 GCE ‘A’ Level Results
The Raffles Diploma (RD) is a certification that recognises
student participation and achievements in five development
domains: Cognitive, Character and Leadership, Community
and Citizenship, Arts and Aesthetics, as well as Sports and
Health. The RD is a testament to the holistic educational
experience that the Raffles Programme aims to provide for
each student, developing her as a Person who is a Thinker,
Leader and Pioneer.
The fifth cohort of students of the Raffles Programme gave
a strong showing in the GCE ‘A’ Level examination. 62 of
our students (or 13.5% of the RGS candidates) achieved
distinctions in all their subjects, whilst 113 (or 24.6% of the
RGS candidates) achieved seven or more distinctions. 160 of
our students (or 34.9% of the RGS candidates) achieved a
perfect university admission score. There were other stellar
academic performances. Two out of the three 2011 Top GCE
‘A’ Level Chinese Students were RGS students Khoo Jia Hui
and Zhang Mengshi who, together with Tiffany Seah were
among the six top RI students with 13 Units or 9 Distinctions.
One of the two RI students awarded the Institute of Physics
Medal was RGS student Yuen Wing Yan. Based on the GCE ‘A’
Level results, RI identified Cherie Gan, a National Golfer with
7 Distinctions, one of the two 2011 Outstanding Athletes.
RI also recognised Soh Ser Yee, who won 1st prize at the
Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competition 2010
and scored 6 Distinctions, as one of the two 2011 Outstanding
Artistes.
The RD is criterion-referenced and is awarded on a tiered
basis - Raffles Diploma, Raffles Diploma with Merit and
Raffles Diploma with Distinction. Upon meeting the base
criteria across all five development domains, Rafflesians are
automatically awarded the RD, with exceptional students
obtaining a Merit or Distinction in a particular domain. For
the Merit award, submission of a short reflection essay is
required to ascertain students’ quality of experience within the
domain(s). For the Distinction award, students are required to
submit a written statement of his/her interest, involvement
and reflections in the respective domain(s). RD Distinction is
awarded upon recommendation by a Select Committee.

critical awareness and appreciation of art in varied contexts,
basic technical skills and essential lifeskills.
Supporting the Nation
This year, the Art and Music department staff organised
level-wide activities in support of the Nation’s vision of Arts
Education. Year 1 students went on a learning journey in
March to the local dragon kiln for ceramics art appreciation.
They also attended an integrated music cum drama concert
[ 12 ]
performed at the Esplanade as part of the Singapore Arts
Festival. Year 2 students toured the Singapore Arts Museum as
part of their General Art module and Year 3 students visited
the Science Art Museum for the Andy Warhol and the Harry
Potter exhibitions.
Pioneering the Arts
With the objective of providing a platform for RGS students
to contribute and reach out to the community, and for
leadership and authentic learning for students in the Arts
arena, three main events were held this year: The 3rd RGS –
Lam Soon Cooking Competition “Naturel Living with Wholegrains’ for secondary school students, and the 2nd RGS Piano
competition organised by Year 3 Elective Programme students
and sponsored by Steinway and Sons, Singapore.
The Music Elective Programme (MEP)
A piano master class by Dr Ken Hamilton of the University
of Birmingham was organised in April. In August, the Year
3 MEP students organised the 2nd RGS Piano Competition.
The competition included a new category solely for Raffles
students. Winners will perform with MEP students in the
2012 MEP concert. The entire MEP cohort also attended
Wicked the musical and the Year 3 students attended an
enrichment camp in June.
Our alumus Li Churen (406’ 11) finished First in the Senior
Category of the National Arts Council National Violin
and Piano Competition 2011. Year 4 students See Ning
Hui and Jessica Tan of the Raffles Academy class came in
first and second respectively for the 2012 Steinway Piano
Competition.
Home Economics
Two students from the Year 3 Food Science Research
Studies cluster participated in the inaugural “iChef Cooking
Competition” organised by Republic Polytechnic and clinched
3rd prize. A group of Year 2 girls emerged champions in the
‘Rainbow Ice Cream Making Competition’.
The RGS Special Art Programme (SAP)
In April, all SAP students visited the Pixar Animation
exhibition at the Science Centre; the Year 3 students visited
the Classic Contemporary Exhibition at the Singapore Art
Museum (SAM); the Year 2 students attended an exhibition
and workshop on Singapore artist, Ming Wong; and the Year 1
students visited the Panaroma, Recent Art from Contemporary
Asia at SAM. Year 2 and 3 students were also invited by RI
to join the school for their biennial trip to New York in June
allowing the students to view and study masterpieces from
western Art history.
In March this year, the SAP Year 2 students exhibited their
works at the Esplanade as part of the Esplanade Values
Inspired Project organised nationwide in schools. A post New
York Art trip public exhibition presented by the SAP Year 2
and 3 students in collaboration with students from Raffles
Institution took place in July – August.
RGS Performing and Visual Arts
RGS Performing Arts CCAs are key vehicles in our holistic
education plan. These CCAs seek to drive home the key
understanding of the cultural, historical and social significance
of performing arts and how these contribute to the overall
development of aesthetic sensibilities. The larger goal of these
CCAs is to cultivate culturally appreciative citizens who will
play a role in fostering a gracious society. There are currently
13 Performing Arts CCAs in RGS falling broadly into four
groups: Instrumental Music, Non-Instrumental Music, Drama
and Dance.
In 2012, our Performing Arts CCAs proudly presented an
array of full-staged concerts and performances. The Chinese
Orchestra, Raffles Strings (Strings Ensemble), Guitar Ensemble,
Dance International and Band Symphonic
captivated
[ 13 ]
the audience with their rhapsodic music, in addition to
contributing part of the proceeds collected at these concerts
to various charitable organisations including the Admiralty
Care Corner, Youth for Causes groups and Mercy Relief
Singapore. The RGS Angklung Ensemble partnered with the
Care Corner Student Care Centre (Admiralty), where the girls
taught the children from the centre the basics of Angklung.
The English Drama Club put up an entertaining mid-year
production titled ‘Where the bus stops’, while the Chinese
Drama enthralled the audience with their performances
during the Mother Tongue Week celebrations.
The Indian Orchestra was invited to both perform and
conduct student workshops during the SYF 2012 Show
and Tell, delighting their Primary School visitors with the
opportunity to play and enjoy Indian Music. The Angklung
Ensemble, Indian Orchestra and Chinese Orchestra, at the
invitation of Ministry of Education (MOE), worked together
to put up a unique fusion item at the TIMSS/PIRLS National
Research Co-ordinators’ dinner for International Delegates
hosted by the Director-General of Education. Their item was
well-received by the delegates.
The RGS Symphonic Band also took part in the Singapore
International Band Festival, obtaining a respectable Silver
award (Division 1), competing against other bands from
[ 14 ]
an older age group. In November 2011, the RGS Choir
competed in and emerged as Laureate of the Festival at the
21st International Festival of Advent and Christmas Music in
Prague, Czech Republic. These invitations and awards bear
testimony to the skills of RGS’ CCA groups, their passion
for the performing arts and their dedication to serving the
community.
English Language and Literature
The English Language and Literature department is guided
by the passionate belief that the richness and vibrancy of
the English Language are to be celebrated and lived. The
department apart from crafting a rigorous curriculum to
achieve these desired outcomes also provides a wide range
of platforms, both local and international, for our students
to benchmark the quality of their works. The department
received resounding affirmation of this commitment with
a bumper crop of 41 Commonwealth Essay Competition
winners, 7 Torrance Legacy Creative Writing Awards winners,
and 2 Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award winners. In
addition, Zhou Hui Wen (401’ 11) and Tiffany Ow (410’ 11)
had their poems published in Singapore’s first Moving Words
project – Poems in the Train.
In line with the department’s vision that language be used
for advocacy in service to the community, three Year 3
students, Tan Li Xian Amy (304), Cheryl Tan Wenn Min
(309) and Syafiqah Nabilah (304), have been selected to sit
in the inaugural READ!Singapore Book Selection Committee
2013. These girls will be part of a team responsible for
selecting stories that cater to the 7 – 15 year old age group
and presenting the titles for approval to the READ!Singapore
steering committee. Our Year 2 and Year 3 students will also
be continuing with their participation in the annual GEB
Literature Seminar this year.
One of the highlights of the year was our inaugural
Renaissance Faire. This event marked the culmination of the
Year 2 Shakespeare module. The students had the opportunity
to apply their understanding of Elizabethan culture and
history by creating, setting up and participating in a Summer
Faire. We also celebrated literary days like World Book Day
through ‘RAWR’, Really Arty Week at Raffles, spearheaded by
the department’s writing club, INKspiration. ‘RAWR’ ended
with an exciting movies-under-the-stars community movie
screening.
Together with the Humanities department, the department
co-organised the Geography-Literature Overseas Fieldtrip to
England in November 2011 for 30 Geography and Literature
students. Included in the enriching and educational itinerary,
was an unforgettable visit to the Olympic Village under
construction.
Humanities
The Department seeks to nurture the RGS girl to be an
advocate and reflective thinker who will be a steward of
humanity and the environment. Multifarious platforms and
learning opportunities including local and overseas fieldtrips
are created for this purpose, bringing learning beyond the
curriculum and classroom.
Geography
Overseas study fieldtrips to the United Kingdom, Hong Kong
and Malaysia and local learning fieldtrips to Marina Barrage,
Dairy Farm Quarry, Sungel Buloh Wetland Reserve keep the
subject current and relevant.
In encouraging the students to pursue their passions and
experience real-life application of geography, the students
participated in many national competitions. These included
the National Climate Change Competition 2011 where RGS
clinched 2nd Prize for the Secondary school category. In the
“Planning A Green & Clean Township” - Singapore Youth
[ 15 ]
Leaders for A Sustainable Future Competition 2012 - RGS
emerged champions in their category. In the NUS Geography
Challenge 2012, a competition which aims to demonstrate
the relevance, dynamism and diversity of Geography as an
academic subject, RGS emerged 3rd runner-up, beating a
total of 91 participating secondary schools. In the “Journey
of Possibilities” Ideas competition for the Rail Corridor
competition, the RGS teams clinched the 1st and 3rd prizes,
and were given honorary mentions for two other projects in
the Youth Challenge competition. In the Heartland Youthoria!
Competition, RGS emerged 2 nd among the schools in the
South zone. The competition was part of the Housing and
Development Board’s inaugural Youth Carnival event to raise
teenagers’ awareness of community bonding in the heartlands.
History
The two-week fieldtrip to Paris (France) and Berlin (Germany)
for the upper level students held during the mid-year holidays
encouraged the students to make explicit connections between
their classroom experiences and the immediate environment.
Fieldtrips were also organised for the lower level students.
One such trip was to the battlefield sites in Singapore where
a seamless connection between the goals of the curriculum
and Citizenship Education was made. Activities were crafted
to allow students to learn collaboratively through the coconstruction of knowledge during museum visits. In addition
[ 16 ]
to fieldtrips, distinguished speakers were also brought in
to share their expertise with our students, and to give our
students a chance to interact with these scholars. Emphasis
was also placed on the design of an ICT-enriched curriculum
especially for Year 1 students pioneering RGS 1:1.
Social Studies
In providing quality teaching and learning, the Social
Studies teachers initiated an innovative method of formative
assessment using online collaborative platforms such as
Googledocs. This enabled formative assessments to take
on a collaborative learning atmosphere with two-way
communication between teachers and students. To facilitate
greater nuanced expression of conceptual understanding, the
team leveraged on multimedia technology in formulating
performance tasks where students had to make use of visual
and audio media technology to present an advocacy piece
concerning Singapore. Leveraging on lessons from previous
years, the team formulated a learning journey that helped
students learn affectively about Singapore’s relevance in a
globalised world, using understandings gleaned from Social
Studies, History, and Geography. In catering to varied and
diverse interests of students, the team also sent students on
various conferences in 2011/12 such as the World Scholars
Cup, Raffles Model UN Conference, International Model UN
Conference and the SCGS Model UN conference, allowing
students to apply what they learnt in class in the context of
international diplomacy.
Regional Studies
Thirty Year 1 students were enrolled in the Regional Studies
Progamme (RSP) in 2012. This number is the largest we
have had in the past three years. RGS will continue to offer
broad and diverse enrichment activities including overseas
immersion programmes to Malaysia, Bali and Central Java
and many local enrichment activities. Some key initiatives for
2012 included a workshop on Southeast Asian Art by Dr Sian
E Jay (Oxford-educated anthropologist, writer, researcher and
educator) for the Year 4 students and collaboration with SMP
Karangturi in Semarang which gave the Year 4 students an
opportunity to interact with their Indonesian counterparts
during their visit to Central Java in May 2012.
Areas Studies
Area Studies students were offered opportunities to participate
in the RSP overseas immersion programmes. In addition, 14
students from the Area Studies programme and RSP took
part in the ASEAN Youth Convention held from 16-20 June
2012 where they engaged with their peers from other schools
to discuss ASEAN’s role in the world and other security and
economic issues.
Mathematics
The department provides students with a myriad of
opportunities to enrich their understanding and appreciation
of the discipline. Students are encouraged to acquire
mathematical knowledge and skills that extend beyond the
scope of regular curricula. The department also seeks to serve
the community by sharing practices with other schools and
providing students with the opportunities to organise events
which in turn enhances their learning.
2nd Singapore Mathematical Modeling Forum & Challenge
(SMMFC) 2012
Building on the success of the last year’s programme, this
year’s SMMFC was expanded to include partner schools
from overseas. Held on 27 - 30 June, the SMMFC was jointly
organised by Raffles Girls School and Ngee Ann Secondary
School, and sponsored by Texas Instruments. A total of 139
students and 30 teachers from Singapore, Australia, Hong
Kong and Indonesia took part in this year’s challenge. The
four-day event provided students with the opportunity to
translate real-world problems into mathematical problems
and solve them using mathematical models. SMMFC included
a visit to Universal Studios Singapore for the participants to
gather data, analyse and interpret the information gathered,
and communicate the findings via mathematical models. The
[ 17 ]
final challenge was held on 30 June.
Singapore National Girls Mathematics Competition
(SNGMC)
The SNGMC was organised by RGS students for primary
school students. Held with the objective of providing RGS
students with service-learning opportunities, our students
were able to explore areas of service as well as their knowledge
in Mathematics to prepare a competition for primary school
students.
Held concurrently with the SNGMC was a teacher’s workshop.
About 50 teachers from 50 different primary schools attended
the sharing session conducted by RGS teachers. The primary
school teachers were introduced to the fundamentals of
mathematical modeling and given opportunities to solve
real-time problems using mathematical models. Through
this workshop, the teachers were able to identify and solve
common problems in teaching and learning in a collaborative
manner. The sharing also helped to establish networks among
mathematics departments in primary schools.
present different points of view and answer questions about
the data. The 2012 Singapore Statistical Poster Competition
was organised by the National University of Singapore. The
results highlight the ability of our students to apply their
mathematical skills beyond the classroom environment.
Languages
The Languages Department provides several platforms and
opportunities to nurture our students to be active learners
and proficient users of the Mother Tongue Languages.
Statistical Poster Competition 2012
To create an immersive environment for the learning and
appreciation of Mother Tongue Languages, the department
organised programmes and activities for the Mother Tongue
Fortnight in July 2012. Programme highlights included
performances by the Chinese Drama students, a Karaoke
competition, Malay handicraft exhibitions and an amazing
race infused with Indian cultural components. The students
also put up an exhibition showcasing information on Chinese,
Malay and Indian cultures that allowed students to understand
and relate culture to language in the different ethnic groups.
RGS swept 3 out of 5 prizes in the secondary school category
at the 2012 Singapore Statistical Poster Competition. A
statistics poster is a display that uses graphs to summarise data,
The department continued its collaboration with the Singapore
Literature Society in organising the National Secondary
[ 18 ]
School Chinese Literature Camp on 14 July 2012 with the
objective of inculcating among our local Secondary School
students an interest in Chinese Language and Literature. The
theme of the camp this year was “轻轻松松红楼梦” (Dream
of the Red Chamber).
On the Tamil front, the Tamil Language teacher and
students organised the Biennial Inter School Tamil Literary
competition for primary schools (“Kalautsavam”) from
March to April 2012. The aim of Kalautsavam is to provide a
platform for primary school students to display and enhance
their creative and analytical thinking through oratorical and
writing skills. The series of competitions attracted a total of
twenty-five schools.
This year, the department also organised its first Malay
Literary Camp on 14 July. It was a joint effort with the theater
group Teater Artistik. The main objectives of the camp were
to enrich the students’ appreciation of literary work, and
to establish the interaction and collaboration among the
students and teachers. The event also gave our students the
opportunity to hone their skills in organising and hosting
events.
Philosophy
The Philosophy Enrichment Programme (PEP) began with
the objective of providing an enriched curriculum for the
Year 2 to 4 students who have shown passion and aptitude for
Philosophy. There are 43 Year 2 students, 33 Year 3 students
and 13 Year 4 students in PEP this year.
The PEP teachers conduct weekly sessions, providing students
with the opportunity to explore philosophical issues beyond
those discussed in the regular curriculum. The modules
offered are Logic, Ancient Greek Philosophy, Continental
Philosophy and Bioethics.
Each year, a number of PEP students are invited to participate
in the annual Raffles Institution Inter-school Philosophy
Dialogue. This year, 14 PEP students from different levels took
part in this event. Three of our students, Chow Huiru (301),
Ho Choy Ying Freya (303) and Lai Yan (303), received the Best
Inquirer Award.
In addition, a group of PEP students, under the mentorship of
our teachers, started a Service Learning Project to introduce
Philosophy for Children to students in CHIJ Our Lady of Good
Counsel Primary School. This group of students designed a
learning package and conducted termly Philosophy lessons
[ 19 ]
as a form of enrichment for a group of Primary 5 students.
These lessons aim to develop the students’ thinking and interpersonal skills, as well as their competencies in the English
Language through the Community of Inquiry. This project
also gives our PEP students an opportunity to apply what they
have learnt in class in an authentic context.
Research Studies
The Research Studies (RS) department’s main role is to
deliver the RS curriculum to Year 1 to 3 students, and provide
guidance to RS teacher-mentors, who mentor school-based
RS student teams. RS student teams, comprising 3-4 students,
embark on 2 projects: one at Year 2 and another at Years 3
and 4.
In order to achieve its goal this year of increasing the standard
of school-based research projects, the RS department
recognised the importance of increasing the competency
level of its mentors as a means to that end. The department
continues to monitor Research Studies consultation sessions
– a weekly project discussion of project groups and teacher
mentor, and department members give feedback to teacher
mentors during a pre-observation and post-observation
meeting in reference to research project mentoring standards
[ 20 ]
set by a Mentoring Competency check list.
In November 2011, eleven students represented RGS in the
Individualised Research Exhibition cum Presentation in two
categories, Poster design and Oral presentation. The teams
received a Commendation award for their posters, while the
project group from the Children’s Book Cluster clinched
a Gold award for their oral presentation of their project,
“Different Books for Different Children”, in which the team
created reading material that would meet the special learning
needs of dyslexic children.
This year, the department welcomes its new Head of
Department, Talent Development, Ms Koh Chen Chen to the
team. In closing 2012, the department will be organising a
Research Showcase, where some of the best research projects
in RGS will be showcased in an exhibition, to expose our girls
to the variety of research across various disciplines, and fuel
in them a passion for research.
Science
A range of enrichment platforms and activities is available for
students driven to pursue their interest in the sciences. Among
the highlights this year is the STAR Lecture, featuring The
Royal Institute Christmas Lectures from the United Kingdom.
A total of 80 students and teachers from RGS attended the
lecture held at the Science Centre, Singapore.
During the June holiday, 70 students participated in field trips
to Wales and Tioman. Closer to home, learning journeys to the
Marina Barrage, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Lower Pierce
Reservoir and the RGS Wallace Environmental Learning
Laboratory presented our students with opportunities for
interdisciplinary studies and the applications of science in the
real world.
On the competition front, students were challenged to apply
their scientific knowledge, reasoning and communication
skills and creativity to solving topical issues in various
competitions. Competitions that the students participated in
included the Singapore Biomedical Olympiad 2012 where
RGS achieved 10 Gold Awards, 10 Silver Awards and 4 Bronze
Awards, an improvement over 2011’s results. Two Year 2
teams participated in the Creative & Heuristic Application
of Science competition, bringing home the championship
as well as a commendation award. In the Sembcorp Water
Technology Prize, RA Physics students Cheng Hang, Grace
Sum, Hu Fangfang and Wen Xingyue, all from 401, achieved
3rd placing.
Deserving of special mention is the outstanding achievement
by Liu Ziwei (401’11), who received the prestigious Lee Kuan
Yew Award for Mathematics and Science. In addition, two RGS
alumni, Zhang Hui Ting (415’10) and Mao Haitong (410’10)
achieved gold medals at this year’s 23rd International Biology
Olympiad hosted in Singapore. Another RGS alumnus, Low
Kay Yi (410’10) achieved a Gold award at this year’s Singapore
Science and Engineering Fair, and went on to represent
Singapore at the Intel International Science and Engineering
Fair in the USA, winning 3 rd prize for her project in the
Medicine and Health Sciences category.
Launch of the F1 Centre for Innovation
Set up to promote student learning and engagement,
particularly amongst female students, in the disciplines of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM),
RGS F1 Centre for Innovation will serve as a hub for schools
to collaborate and explore new ways of providing students
with the skills and competencies in STEM education through
an integrated curriculum with meaningful real-world
applications.
Graced by Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Ng Ai Lin, Zonal
Director, School South, Ministry of Education, the RGS
F1 Centre for Innovation was launch on 28 July 2012, the
first F1 Centre for innovation set up by a girls school. The
[ 21 ]
centre is critical in providing the infrastructure for the entire
F1 in Schools Programme. Going beyond the Programme,
schools can also innovate and use the technology available
at the Centre for Innovation to conduct research and the
analysis of materials to extend the use of the centre in other
disciplines.
The launch of the RGS F1 Centre for Innovation also
witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between RGS and the Institution of Engineers,
Singapore (IES). With the MOU, RGS and IES will work
in collaboration, through programmes offered by the RGS
F1 Centre of Innovation, to change students’ perception
of science, engineering and technology, and to promote
engineering education and careers, especially among girls. The
partnership will facilitate the transfer of technical knowledge
and the appreciation of the art of science and engineering
from industry professionals to students, and create greater
networking opportunities between schools, local and overseas
engineering bodies and organisations.
◗ Integration of ICT
with Teaching and Learning
The ICT department works closely with the academic
[ 22 ]
departments to identify the ICT skills and knowledge required
of the students in the different subjects. Training workshops
are then designed and conducted on a sign-up basis for the
students. Workshops conducted include Cyber wellness,
video editing, podcast, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. To
accommodate the increase usage of ICT, the school’s data
bandwidth was upgraded and wireless network access
expanded campus wide.
In tandem with the provision of ICT infrastructure and
services, RGS 1:1 was launched in 2012, with all Year 1 students
using an Apple MacBook as a device for collaboration, sharing,
communication and learning. Face-to-face interaction will
however remain a cornerstone of teaching and learning in
RGS. Our teachers will inject variety in their lessons so that
our students strike a good balance between using the device
and interacting with their classmates. RGS 1:1 aims to produce
active, critical and responsible digital citizens who are able to
participate in learning communities within and beyond the
school. By 2015, all RGS students will be learning and working
in a 1:1 computing environment. The staggered rollout is to
ensure smooth implementation as well as capacity building.
A professional development programme was also rolled out in
2012 to equip teachers in the integration of technology into
teaching and learning. Regular workshops were conducted
to familiarise teachers with the use of Google Applications
as well as the key ideas behind using technology to facilitate
collaborative learning and self-directed learning. An Apple
training consultant, Dr. Randy Yerrick from the State
University of New York (Buffalo) was engaged to conduct
training workshops and facilitate professional conversations
on RGS 1:1.

RGS takes a holistic approach to character and leadership
education by integrating the cognitive, affective and social
aspects of education. Students are provided with opportunities
to understand and practise good character and leadership,
strengthening the competencies and attitudes of a good
steward of self, a socially responsible and active citizen, and
an ethical and caring leader. The Character and Leadership
Education framework provides a range of learning platforms
which aim to build character, develop personal effectiveness
and leadership qualities as well as cultivate national
consciousness and service to the community and nation.
In developing the body, RGS aims to develop students
as stewards of healthy living. CCAs develop stamina and
zeal, leadership and teamwork, and provides for a range of
learning opportunities through sports, uniformed groups,
competitions, overseas trips and workshops.
◗ Citizenship Education
The RGS Citizenship Education (CE) is instrumental in
instilling a sense of national rootedness and ‘noblesse oblige’
in Rafflesians. Key areas for 2012 include:
•
providing more opportunities to empower students to
contribute to the community
•
enhancing greater integration by providing more
interaction opportunities within the community
•
involving parents in school activities and NE.
Building CE Competencies
Students – The Uniformed Groups (UGs) organised Total
Defence Day activities to create more awareness and a better
understanding of the importance to UGs to Total Defence.
Year 1 classes put up a month-long exhibition as part of
International Friendship Day celebrations, showcasing
different cultures.
RGS students also participated in the Race & Ethnicity
Awareness Programme organised by OnePeople.sg, the
national body for racial harmony. The students facilitated
a mini In-Conversation session between local students
and international scholars and returning Singaporeans to
encourage interaction and foster greater understanding
between the groups. They were also involved in planning the
Character and Leadership Education (CLE) Racial Harmony
lessons for their Year 1-3 peers.
In addition, 10 student-leaders attended the HarmonyWorks!
Conference in July. The theme this year was ‘Regardless of
Facebook, Twitter or YouTube’. The conference provided an
[ 25 ]
opportunity for the student-leaders to gather insights from,
and exchange views and opinions on inter-racial and interreligious issues in Singapore with politicians, academics,
practitioners and community leaders.
Partners – RGS endeavours to engage her partners in
NE activities seeking out meaningful platforms and
opportunities for our students to engage in service learning
and social advocacy. This year, parents participated actively
in the RGS Racial Harmony Week by providing childhood
snacks and games from yester-year for students to develop
an understanding of what their parents’ childhood was like.
PRGS Association also invited parents to join our National
Day Celebrations.
Raffles Public Policy Dialogue– The Raffles Public Policy
Dialogue was organised for upper level students as part
of the school’s CE programme. Hosted by the RGS Global
Affairs Council (GAC), Raffles Public Policy Dialogue sought
to enhance students’ awareness of public policies from
multiple perspectives by inviting guest speakers from the
relevant areas. This year’s session saw Mr Shivakumar Nair
from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr Tim Huxley, Executive
Director of The International Institute for Strategic Studies
Asia and A/P Alan Chong Chia Siong from S. Rajaratnam
School of International Studies, presenting views on the
[ 26 ]
changing nature of Singapore’s international relations.
In-Conversation Series – The annual In-Conversation
series is organised for upper level students as part of the
school’s CE programme. Hosted by student volunteers, the
In-Conversation series seeks to enhance students’ awareness
on social issues. Topics discussed this year included the
theme of graciousness and discrimination. Invited speakers
for the sessions included Dr Tan Cheng Bock (former
Member of Parliament), Dr William Wan (Singapore
Kindness Movement), Ms Denise Phua Lay Peng (Memebr
of Parliament, Moulmein-Kallang GRC) and Dr Eugene Tan
(Nominated Member of Parliament).
◗ RGS Leadership Boards
RGS has a long tradition of producing leaders of distinction
through platforms such as the Prefectorial Board, Peer
Support Board, Student Congress and House Committees.
Established in 1950, the RGS Prefectorial Board is recognised
as the pinnacle of leadership in the school. As custodians of
school culture, one of the fundamental roles of prefects is to
inculcate the school’s values in their peers through valuesbased discipline and informed decision making. This year,
the Board was involved in the mentorship of Year 1 Class
Chairpersons through a session on leadership development.
The RGS Peer Support Board serves as a cohesive agent in
fostering a sense of community and belonging within the
school. They also provide guidance and engender the Year
1 pupils with the necessary skills to cope with the transition
from Primary to Secondary school life. The Board is also
involved in the planning and organising of many school-wide
projects such as the Singapore Kindness Movement.
Student Congress empowers students to identify and act
on issues pertinent to their school experience. This year, the
board focused on the broad areas of teaching and learning,
recognition and opportunities, and the learning environment.
Through focus group sessions, school-wide forum discussions
and publicity events, Congress has actively encouraged
students to contribute their feedback, working with the school
management to implement feasible solutions, leading the way
to effecting positive change.
Leadership in the RGS House committee members is
developed through the organisation of the various InterHouse Games which involve the entire school population.
These activities allow the leaders in the five houses – Tarbet,
Buckle, Richardson, Waddle and Hadley – the opportunities
to cultivate a strong sense of belonging to their respective
house through friendly competitions which in turn promotes
school spirit.
◗ RGS-ICYL
Since its inception in 2006, this biennial event serves to
nurture young women leaders. RGS-ICYL (International
Convention for Youth Leaders) 2012’s theme is “Connecting
Hearts, Inspiring Action”. The theme underscores two main
ideas that drive this year’s convention:
• discovering and sharing one’s personal values and sense of
purpose in stepping up as a leader
• enacting collective action towards positive change
We hope to bring together youth leaders from diverse
backgrounds to share leadership insights, challenges and
experiences, thus enabling participants to discover and
strengthen their purpose in leadership. With collective wisdom
gained from the convention, we hope that participants will be
inspired to create a positive change.
[ 27 ]
◗ Service-Learning
Overseas Service-Learning
Service-Learning (S-L) at RGS seeks to nurture every RGS
student to be a socially responsible and active citizen by
providing opportunities for meaningful community service.
Through S-L, RGS students actively create positive impact in
the local community and grow to become independent and
compassionate learners.
RGS Overseas Service-Learning (OSL) aims to serve the
needs of overseas communities in a way that promotes selfsustainability and reciprocity. OSL also aims to develop
character, leadership and lifeskills of RGS students as they
contribute to improving the lives of the underprivileged and
their communities.
One noteworthy RGS collaboration with the community
is the Nurture Service Programme with Central Singapore
Community Development Council. Aimed at enhancing
the quality of lives of needy children aged four to 12, RGS
students have been serving the Nurture Centres through
organising meaningful learning activities for the children
since 2011 and expect to continue this meaningful project in
the years ahead.
In 2011, the OSL expedition to Cebu Island, Philippines, was
launched. Working with Teen Challenge Philippines, OSL
worked to improve the lives of abandoned Cebuano street
children through a series of activities such as English lessons,
song and dance lessons. In collaboration with School of the
Arts, OSL donated over a thousand children’s books and set
up a library system at the centre. OSL also painted murals of
the local scenery to brighten the atmosphere of the learning
spaces at the centre.
RGS has also been nominated the most supportive school
for the YMCA Youth for Causes programme 2011. Funded
by Citi Foundation, the programme aims to promote social
entrepreneurship and community leadership development
among Singapore youths through social entrepreneurship. 12
RGS teams were selected for the programme and managed to
raise funds and increase public awareness for the social causes
of their VWOs.
The team worked with the Cebu City Mobile School project,
providing English lessons to street children in Cebu so as to
encourage the children to take up proper schooling. The trip
marked the beginning of a meaningful collaboration and
partnership between RGS and Teen Challenge Philippines in
improving the conditions of the local Cebu community.

◗ RGS Career Fair 2011
The Annual Career Fair organised for Year 4 girls was held
on 27 June 2012. In a 3 hour time-slot, there were 11 sessions
by 22 speakers from a wide variety of professions and
institutions and a concurrent Career Fair at the Evelyn Norris
Hall with 13 participating institutions. The personnel from
the institutions provided much insight for the girls as they
prepare for their transition to RI. The highlight and focus
this year was to have our alumni share as speakers. At least 12
former girls representing Healthcare, Research/Engineering,
Legal Services, Public Service, Marketing, and Sports industry
returned to their alma mater to share their professional and
life experiences. It was a valuable opportunity for the current
Year 4 girls to learn about real-world experiences and also to
network with these seniors who have been and are still living
as ‘daughters of a better age’.
◗ Work Experience Programme
The Work Experience Programme (WEP) is available for
our Year 3 and 4 students during their holiday periods
of June & November-December. Year 3 and 4 students
have the opportunity to be exposed to different industries
through work attachments. In the June holidays this year, 42
students were placed in school-arranged work attachments
in industries such as law, healthcare, and hospitality.
Students were also encouraged to source for attachments via
networking through alumni for more diverse opportunities.
Work attachments can range from 1 week to the entire school
holidays and provide opportunities for our girls to learn
lifeskills in authentic situations.
◗ Integration of International Students /
Scholars
Upon arrival in October, International scholars were assigned
buddies in the form of seniors from an earlier cohort. The
senior buddies are usually from the same country as the new
scholars to help them adjust to a new living and learning
environment in Singapore. Student Leaders from the Peer
Support and Prefectorial Boards helped with the planning
of their orientation and induction programmes: teaching
them the school rules and values, school song and cheers.
This year, the scholars invited local students who had offered
their friendship and who had helped them adapt to RGS to
the Lunar New Year dinner as a gesture of friendship and
appreciation.
[ 29 ]
◗ Physical Fitness and
Health Education Programme
both individuals and teams participating in the swim-andrun event. A total of 250 students and teachers participated
in the Carnival. By encouraging teams to participate in the
various activities organised, the PE department endeavours to
promote greater mass participation and encourage teamwork,
respect and excellence through healthy lifestyle and physical
activities.
The RGS Physical Education aims to develop “Healthier
Daughters For A Healthier Age”. Through both the sports
and physical health modules taught in the PE curriculum,
our students are expected to understand and apply the
fundamentals of designing a personal fitness programme, and
make more informed health-related choices. The ‘Eat Think
and Play’ health booklet was compiled as a resource for pupils
and PE teachers to complement the Physical Health module.
RGS Talent Scholarship (Sports) and Customisation
Programme for Sports Pupils
To encourage all students and staff members to lead a healthy
holistic lifestyle, the PE department, together with the student
House leaders, coordinated more than 25 Inter-House Games
(IHG) in terms 2 and 3 this year. Examples of the new IHGs
initiatives include Touch Rugby, Design a Rafflesian Product,
K-pop and Singapore Kindness Movement photo competition.
The PE department introduced the Inaugural Sports Fest
Challenge during the Annual Sports Festival in May 2012.
More than 500 students and staff members formed teams to
participate in the 10 stations, which included the F1 Race,
Speed Ladder Relay and Back in Space. Over 400 students
took part in the individual or team relays and sprint events.
The Swimming Carnival was held in July 2012. In addition to
the swimathon event, the inaugural Biathlon organised with
The RGS Talent Scholarship (Sports) was established in 2008
to recognise the talent of our sports students and to support
them in the development of their talents. The scholarship
was offered to all Direct School Admission (DSA) sports
students who were admitted into Year 1 in RGS. In 2012, a
total of 41 Year 1 students from 13 different sports received
this scholarship. In addition, 17 Years 2-4 students from Golf,
Gymnastics (Artistic), Gymnastics (Rhythmic), Sailing and
Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis and Tenpin Bowling were
also awarded the scholarship for their 2011 representations in
the ASEAN Schools Games (ASG) and Southeast Asia (SEA)
Games. In recognition of the high level of commitment of our
athletes to their sports, RGS has put in place a Customisation
Programme to provide different educational programming
for them.
[ 30 ]
Co-Curricular Activities in RGS
CCAs in RGS aim to build resilience, deep passion for
specific interest areas as well as leadership and teamwork.
As CCAs are more experiential by nature, the learning in
CCA frequently provides a balanced range of experiential
learning opportunities that help develop a strong and healthy
body through participation in games, uniformed groups,
competitions, overseas trips and workshops. Our pupils
continue to benefit from the teamwork, people skills and
leadership development opportunities in the CCAs. They also
perform well in a diverse range of activities and programmes,
and these accomplishments demonstrate that, beyond
academic excellence, the Rafflesian remains indefatigably
active in her interests and passions and is committed to
giving her best in everything she does.

overseas conferences. This year, RGS staff members presented
papers at the National Science Teachers’ Conference (USA),
Asia-Pacific Gifted Conference (Dubai) and the Teachers’
Conference (Singapore), among others.
Staff Development
RGS strongly encourages and supports professional
development that enhances lifelong learning for staff
members. Professional development is designed to align with
the school’s vision and strategic thrusts, department goals,
and the expressed needs of the staff.
RGS has developed a Professional Development Training Plan
that focuses on the pedagogies of the Gifted & Talented such
as critical and creative thinking and other core competency
areas like practitioner inquiry, learning technologies and
curriculum design. The learning and development platforms
for staff are continuous, extensive, and take place through
[ 38 ]

Staff Outreach
Consultancy
RGS Pedagogical Research Lab (RGS PeRL) offers consultancy
to schools on curriculum and pedagogy. Its mission is to
contribute to the development of a collaborative community
of practitioners with a research-oriented perspective to
classroom practices. RGS PeRL’s workshops emphasise the
application of evidence-backed theories and principles to
classroom practice. As the trainers are educators themselves
with extensive experience in curriculum design and pedagogy,
the workshops designed are practical and relevant to the
context. RGS PeRL offers both customized and standard
modules in Design of the Performance Task and Curriculum
Design.
The additional value of RGS PeRL Consultancy is the Practice
Study. Over a period of 3 months, the consultants offer ongoing post-workshop guidance to assist participants to apply
their learning to actual classroom practice.
RGS PeRL’s in-house research findings are also freely shared
at RGS PeRL workshops as well as conferences, both local
and beyond. The objectives of the sharing are (a) to generate
more knowledge on the practical implications of translating
theories to practice in the classroom and (b) to contribute
[ 41 ]
The RGS Community
to and enhance the Asian discourse on pedagogy especially
relating to the high ability Asian girl.
Educational Outreach and Leadership
RGS’ contributions to educational outreach and leadership
extend to all schools and comprise:
WELL – the first field study centre located in Dairy Farm
Nature Reserve to promote experiential learning in an
authentic setting.
WELLCoT – WELL Community of Teachers is a fraternity
of like-minded teachers coming together to design interdisciplinary curricula and conduct learning activities at
WELL.
FPSP (Singapore) - RGS provides her stewardship in the
organisation of FPSP in Singapore through its annual coaches
and evaluation workshops, Resource Day and National Finals
competition.
SMMFC – This international outreach effort, in collaboration
with Ngee Ann Secondary School, provides students with
the opportunity to translate real-world problems into
mathematical problems and solve them using mathematical
models.
[ 42 ]
F1 Centre for Innovation – This centre will serve as a hub for
schools to collaborate and explore new ways of promoting the
study of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
especially among female students.
Corporate Citizenry
The RGS Corporate Citizenry Committee formed of executive
and administrative staff organised a Reading-Baking-Games
Day for children from the Asian Women’s Welfare Association
(AWWA) Family Service Centre in December 2011. Both
RGS staff and children from AWWA Family Service Centre
enjoyed a day of games, reading and baking. This was the
first such effort by the Committee and plans are in place for
more in the future.

◗ RGS Pedagogical Research Lab (RGS PeRL)
As a Centre for Excellence in RGS, RGS PeRL is driven by
the school’s stretch goal of being a world class educational
institution for young women. Such an aspiration compels
evidence-backed professional standards that enhance the
school’s clout and credibility as a reputed institution.
RGS PeRL’s Research and Consultancy domains are designed to
cultivate professional inquiry and collaboration that sharpen
pedagogical practices and innovation. Its uniqueness as a
school-based centre lies in its practitioner-oriented paradigm
to educational discourse. Its members are largely classroom
practitioners with extensive experience in curriculum design
and classroom teaching and hence, an acute mindfulness of
the realities of the Singaporean context in defining curriculum
innovation and practice.
Research Project: Contribution of the Performance
Task to Teaching and Learning
call for proposals. For instance, a group of English teachers is
examining the use of the rubric for evaluation.
Currently, a final report is being crafted on RGS PeRL’s
2 year research project on the Performance Task as an
alternative assessment. Although the project was carried out
in RGS, its findings can inform not only RGS’ assessment
review and innovation but also be relevant to other schools
who may wish to learn from the school’s experiences.
Emerging findings on this project were shared at the Teachers’
Conference held in Singapore (1 May-1 June 2012). At the
end of the year, the final report will be presented to the
school to inform its curriculum review practices as well as
at the International Conference of the Australian Association
for Research in Education and the Asia Pacific Educational
Research Association (2-6 December 2012).
To leverage on these developments, RGS PeRL’s Research
domain is exploring the possibility of inquiring into teacher
traits, motivations and skills for Practitioner Inquiry. The
findings can inform the educational fraternity on how to
enhance teacher professionalism and nurture learners who
are adept thinkers in the 21st century. Through constant
scanning of educational trends and standards, RGS PeRL is
also in the process of creating robust learning resources that
are used for teacher development. For instance, in-house
resources on Formative Assessment were designed for a
workshop for Academic Heads. These resources will continue
to be refined and updated.
Teacher Professionalism and Practitioner Inquiry
RGS PeRL offers Consultancy in areas like Curriculum
Design, Practitioner Inquiry and Design of the Performance
Task, to RGS and other schools. The focus is on sharing
how principle-driven and evidence-backed pedagogy can be
translated to the local classroom context. The overarching
objective is to build an inclusive network of like-minded
educators interested in theory and evidence-based educational
best practices.
Research has shown that the most critical factor in quality
learning is the quality teacher. The habit of reflective practice
is a hallmark of such a teacher who derives professional
satisfaction from knowing what works in the classroom
and why. To facilitate Practitioner Inquiry, RGS PeRL has
established clear research protocols and a system of research
mentoring aimed at scaffolding the teachers’ research
endeavours. A few teachers have responded to RGS PeRL’s
Consultancy
[ 45 ]

Publications
Website
In-house publication: RGS PeRL plans to produce an annual
in-house professional development magazine called ‘Insights’.
The concept is that of a coffee table book, enabling easy
perusal and inspiring ideas. The aim is to articulate facets of
RGS’ professional practices that are often, implicit. Currently,
we are in the process of collecting our teachers’ contributions
on:
a. Pedagogical Inquiry; ie, research projects in RGS
b. Pedagogical practices; ie, strategies that promote effective
learning
Launched this year, the RGS PeRL website offers updated
information on its Research and Consultancy domains. The
information includes research projects conducted in the
school as well as podcasts and vignettes on good practices.
RGS PeRL Research Guide: This guide book outlines the
research categories in the school, the research protocols and
our policies pertaining to educational research.
RGS PeRL handbook: The handbook encapsulates the overall
intent of the organisation, its structures and processes.
Performance Task (PT) booklet: The booklet, published in
2011, provides step-by-step guidelines on the design of the
PT as an alternative assessment, augmented by literature
review. This booklet is part of the PT workshop toolkit and
is also sold to interested educators.
[ 46 ]
RGS PeRL looks forward to working closely with the school
community and beyond to add verve and vitality to teaching
and learning.
◗ Alumni Matters
The RGS Chapter
The RGS Chapter has been a supporter of RGS and has
assisted the school in many ways: close collaboration in
school activities, organising of workshops and social events
to promote alumni networking and membership drives to
encourage Rafflesians to cherish their unique identity as a
member of the RGS community. Activities organised over
the past months include a Tea & Talk session on ‘A Fresh
Approach to a Beautiful & Natural Smile – Orthodontics and
Dentofacial’ and a cooking workshop titled ‘Learn to Savour
Life – One dish at a time’.
To support the school in broadening the categories of awards
given out to students on RGS Speech Day, several cohorts have
instituted annual awards that emphasise the importance of
recognising students who demonstrate exemplary leadership
or communication skills. The ‘RGS Chapter’, ‘Heart of Gold’
and ‘Sisters at Heart’ awards are aimed at encouraging pupils
to develop character values such as exemplary care and
consideration for others.

◗ Parents for RGS Association (PRGS)
The last quarter of 2011 began with the Year 3 Breakfast
Dialogue with Principals. The highly interactive discussions
promoted positive feedback and communication between
interested parents and the school.
This dialogue was followed by the second (of two forums)
of the highly popular “Nurturing The Highly Able Child Intellectual, Emotional and Mental Well-Being” Forum series
conducted by Edwin Choy, founder of Centre for Fathering,
who advised parents on ways of focusing on successes of
their daughters instead of failures. The CmPS APPdicted-
Cyberwellness Talk had a CmPS group of students sharing
their interesting findings on students’ internet behaviour
with parents, and the Transition to RI(JC) talk saw parents
of former RGS girls in RI(JC) as well as a few former RGS
girls in RI(JC) sharing with our members their experiences
in transition to RI(JC).
PRGS’ Family Day made its debut in 2011 with “Carnival:
Going Country’11”. From learning the Hoedown Throwdown
Dance (which had parents and daughters dancing in lively
step together) to competing in the fastest candy- floss eating
contest, the checked shirts, cowboy hats and boots completed
the day’s fun.
Peaceful and idyllic Pulau Ubin was awakened by the
visit of close to 60 PRGS members and 2 eco-guides. The
wonderfully refreshing Sensorial Trail Walk had participants
slowing down their pace to smell the flowers, appreciate the
rustic ways of a bygone time, amidst a wealth of flora and
fauna that is Pulau Ubin.
The amazing variety of food (contributed by generous
members) for the Teacher’s Day Appreciation Lunch set
in cozy ambience were equaled only by the good cheer
and camaraderie shared by the principals, teachers, staff
members, parent volunteers and the PRGS Exco members.
It was a warm and meaningful way of expressing our special
thanks to the teachers for all that they do for our daughters.
In keeping with the times, PRGS started its social media
networking with the launch of the PRGS Facebook Community
Page named “Parents for RGS Association (PRGS)” in July
2011. Members who are friends of the Page can easily receive
news updates, spot themselves in the photos uploaded with
regular postings of PRGS events whilst being a vital part of a
community of RGS parents.
With PRGS coming close to 10 years, the time was opportune
for a re-branding of PRGS as we positioned PRGS’ objective
of achieving that 3-way strategic link among parents, pupils
and the school, towards the total development of our
daughters. The rebranded logo identity was applied across
all PRGS communication materials for an integrated and
consistent visual messaging of our said objective.
2012 began with a rousing welcome for the Year 1s and
their parents. PRGS played a supporting role in settling new
parents and in familiarising them with the RGS academic
curriculum through parent orientation talks and workshops
organised in conjunction with the school.
With the 24 March 2012 AGM, a new Executive Committee
[ 49 ]
The RGS Community
comprising parents from all levels was elected. PRGS further
assisted in and partook of the school’s activities and festivities
which included the RGS Open House, Sports Festival and
the ORA Walk-A-Jog-a-thon and Fun Fair. These events
afforded PRGS opportunities to share their experiences with
Primary 6 parents at Open House and to show our teamwork
and sportsmanship at the sports stadium. PRGS members
displayed their unfailing support with their generous
sponsorship of food and drinks stalls and contribution to the
ORA fund-raising drive through the generous purchase of the
fun fair tickets as well as through sales proceeds collected at
the stalls.
With a fulfilling past 12 months, the 10th Exco thank the
Principals and the school for its support of PRGS and its
activities.

◗ RGS Outreach: Local &
International Network
Collaboration with local and international partners offers
opportunities for RGS to share and learn from best practices
with other top institutions and organisations. RGS’ outreach
efforts continue to grow from strength to strength in several
areas.
RGS continues to share best practices on school reform and
professional development in response to requests from a
number of schools in Singapore and from overseas. Among
the educational personnel who visited RGS were: Principal
and Head of Senior High School, St Cuthbert’s College (New
Zealand), Deputy Principal, St Margaret’s College (New
Zealand), Director, Division of International Cooperation
and Exchanges, Hubei Provincial Department of Education
(PRC), Mr Yohsuke Tsuchiya, Researcher, Nihon University
and Ibaraki University, Mr Vadim Moshkovich, Russian State
Member and businessman, Mr Mikhail Dmitriev and Mr Kirill
Ignakhin of McKinsey & Company (Moscow, Russia), Mr Bill
Claxton, Lanschool, and Mr Yong Lit Seng, Director, Group
Technology Development of SEGi University of Malaysia.
RGS also hosted visits from the following schools and
educational organisations from August 2011 – August 2012:
Taipei First Girls’ High School (Taiwan), Mingdao High
School (Taiwan), Shanghai No 3 Girls’ Middle School (PRC),
Sekolah Mutiara Harapan (Indonesia), Officials from the
Suzhou Provincial Department of Education and Principals
from Suzhou schools (PRC).
RGS continues to engage Primary 6 pupils and their parents
through events like ‘Tea with the Principal’, talks and road
shows at various primary schools and the annual Open
House, which sees a steady increase in the number of visitors
every year.
The RGS community was kept well informed through Spiral,
the Yearbook and a fresh range of corporate collaterals. The
school is also in the process of revamping the RGS website and
producing a new corporate video to better present information
about the school to its stakeholders and the public. RGS
also engages parents through ‘Breakfast Meetings with the
Principal’ for each level, Year 1 Orientation Tea, workshops
for Years 1-4 parents on helping their daughters adjust to the
learning environment at RGS, the annual Sports Festival and
Racial Harmony Week activities. The school is also mindful of
its commitment to serve the nation and community through
Community Problem Solving Programme (CmPS), ServiceLearning and Community service projects.
Local Partnerships
RGS’ valued partners continue to support the school’s
educational goals and programmes. The highlight this year
was the launch of the RGS F1 Centre for Innovation on 28
July, the first F1 Centre for Innovation set up by a girls’ school.
The Centre will serve as a hub for schools to collaborate
and explore new ways of providing students with the skills
[ 51 ]
The RGS Community
and competencies in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics education through integrated curriculum
and meaningful real-world application. A Memorandum
of Understanding was signed at the launch between RGS
and the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES). With the
MOU, RGS and IES will work in collaboration, through the
programmes offered by the RGS F1 Centre for Innovation, to
promote engineering education and careers, especially among
girls.
Our synergistic partners, GlaxoSmithKline, Economic
Development Board and NParks maintain their commitment
to the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory (WELL),
our field study centre in Dairy Farm Nature Park which is
used by staff and students from RGS and schools in Singapore.
WELLCoT (WELL Community of Teachers) continues to
provide professional development workshops held at WELL
as well as run activities at WELL for students. GSK-EDB
maintains its belief in RGS’ stewardship of the Future Problem
Solving Programme (Singapore) to nurture talented students
with an orientation to anticipating and solving challenges in
the future.
Since 2010, the annual Chinese Literature Camp has been a
collaborative effort between RGS and the Singapore Literature
Society (SLS) to develop a passion and deep understanding
[ 52 ]
in secondary school students for the Chinese Language and
culture. In order to recognise our close relationship based on
shared goals and co-ownership of a very worthy event, RGS
will be presenting SLS with the Cengal Award for Partnerships
this year.
RGS also continues to collaborate with NIE’s Centre for
Research, Pedagogy and Practice through its Research arm,
RGS Pedagogical Research Lab (RGS PeRL), to foster a culture
of reflective practice and the use of research-based pedagogy
for learning.
International Partnerships
The goal of the RGS Internationalisation Programme is to
develop, in our students, a global mindset and cross cultural
skills and sensitivities. The various programmes expose our
students to Asia and the world and allow them to interact
and engage with their peers and local communities outside
Singapore.
In 2011, 33 overseas programmes were organised by various
academic departments, CCA groups, Talent Development
Department, Leadership Board and the Overseas Service
Learning team. In total, more than 1,000 students participated
in the various overseas trips – accounting for more than 50 per
cent of RGS student population. Some of the notable initiatives
include the first overseas Character Development Programme
conducted for CCA leaders to enhance their leadership skills
and build character through adventure-based learning. The
Year 2 students, as a cohort, had the opportunity to engage
with school children in Batam during their community
engagement programme, while the RGS Choir, comprising
53 members, had the opportunity to perform at the Advent
Sing Vienna musical festival, a destination well-known for its
choral tradition.
Collaborations with our partner schools remain a core
thrust of our internationalisation programme. The twinning
programme with Shanghai No. 3 Girls’ Middle & High
Schools and Zhongshan Overseas Middle School was launched
successfully when 18 RGS students participated in a cultural
and language immersion programme with our partner
schools. Reciprocating the exchange, 18 girls and 4 teachers
from Shanghai No 3 Girls’ Middle School participated in an
immersion trip to RGS from 6 – 8 August 2012 to establish
a platform for students from our schools to deepen their
interest in learning the Chinese Language and culture for
the RGS girls and the learning of the English Language and
multi-culturalism for the students from Shanghai.
The “Bridges for Engagement” Programme between RGS and
Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC) was conducted on 19-23
June 2011. Twenty-four Year 2 students from the Regional
Studies Programme, accompanied by 3 teachers, were hosted
by TKC in Seremban. Now in its forth year, the programme
provided opportunities for our students to practise Malay
language with their TKC friends and develop cross-cultural
competencies to engage with our neighbours.
The Dwen An-Raffles Schools Student Exchange Programme
continues to be an important student exchange platform
to nurture student leaders in service of the community.
RGS girls travelled to Taiwan in February and then hosted
visiting Taiwanese students in July as part of the two-way
exchange.
As we continue to expand our partnership collaborations into
the area of student exchange, we will offer more opportunities
and destinations for students who are keen to embark on
an intensive cultural immersion programme. This will fulfil
our objectives of providing not just extensive and wideranging programmes, but also opportunities for an intensive
international experience for our students.
