From high Olympus flows to us the glory, on us the sacred fire descends ...” Speech Day Report 2010/2011 7 Nurturing the Intellect & Firing the Imagination Every girl who enters the gates of RGS joins a sisterhood of genera/ons of dis/nc/ve young women who share the bond of the RGS experience. Our wish is to see the RGS girl develop the capacity to move others towards shared goals for the good of the na/on and community. To this end, we have developed a dynamic learning environment on which the RGS girl can build to realise her ambi/ons, to nurture the intellect and fire the imagina/on. Our distinctive Raffles Programme (RP) stretches and nurtures the high ability girl. By by‐passing the GCE ‘O’ Level examina/ons, she has more /me to develop holis/cally and pursue different areas of interest. The Raffles Academy serves as the talent development arm of the RP. In 2010, the Raffles schools introduced the Raffles Diploma (RD), a cer/fica/on that recognises the Rafflesian’s talents and abilities beyond the GCE ‘A’ Level Certification. The RD certification recognises student participation and achievements in a wide spectrum of programmes, capitalising on the individual strengths, talents and needs of each girl to develop a unique differentiation for a competitive edge. Cognisant of the impact of ICT in pedagogy, integra/on of ICT with teaching and learning prepares the RGS girl with the 21st century lifeskills for a digital world. 8 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL The Raffles Programme The Raffles Programme (RP) recognises the potential in every student and provides an enriched, differen/ated and broad‐based learning experience. In the RP, the passionate pursuit of educational excellence is carried out with two important anchors in mind: that RGS is home to some of the most talented young women in Singapore and beyond, and that the school has a social mission to nurture these students as thinkers, leaders and pioneers who will realise their talents in service of na/on and community. The RP is a six‐year integrated programme developed by the Raffles schools – Raffles Girls’ School (Yrs‐1to4) and Raffles Ins/tu/on (Yrs‐1to6) – to enable students to proceed seamlessly from Yr‐1 to the GCE ‘A’ levels. Students in the RP spend their first four years at RGS or RI and their 5th and 6th years at RI, bypassing the GCE ‘O’ levels. The RP curriculum is modelled on exemplary gieed educa/on principles, such as the Integrated Curriculum Model developed by Dr Joyce Van Tassel‐Baska of College of William and Mary in Virginia, USA, for high‐ability learners. The RP curriculum is therefore enriched and rigorous, fostering a high level of critical thinking. Instruction is inquiry‐ driven to enable pupils to probe their understanding with greater clarity and precision. The school‐wide use of the Understanding by Design curriculum framework developed by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe ensures that the analysis of key concepts, theories and principles are fundamental to the learning process. Overarching themes and macro concepts enable students to make connections between topics and disciplines. The Raffles Academy The Raffles Academy (RA) serves as the talent development arm of the RP. Students selected for the Raffles Academy are pulled out of regular classes to a+end classes under the guidance of specially selected teachers. These are students who would have demonstrated a consistently high level of intellectual curiosity, commitment to learning and excellent performance results. The curriculum content, pedagogy and pace of instruc/on as well as assessment modes in RA are pitched at a level commensurate with the students’ high ability. The Raffles Diploma Developed through a series of consulta/ons with globally recognised ins/tu/ons, the Raffles Diploma (RD) is a flexible system that challenges and expands defini/ons of success, allowing Rafflesians to scale greater heights in the pursuit of excellence. The core values of the RD involve capitalising on the individual strengths, talents and needs of each Rafflesian to develop a unique differentiation for a competitive edge. The RD measures an academic curriculum that respects the integrity of subject specialisa/ons. Although its cogni/ve development is s/ll based on the current GCE ‘A’ Level examinations, the RD recognises achievements a+ained in a wide spectrum of enrichment ac/vi/es. These ac/vi/es tap the individual talents, interests and abili/es of each Rafflesian, thereby maximising the potential of the thinker, leader and pioneer. The RD cer/fica/on aims to aid Rafflesians in harnessing their strengths in five key development domains: • Cogni/ve • Character & Leadership • Community & Ci/zenship • Sports & Health • Arts & Aesthe/cs Speech Day Report 2010/2011 9 Nurturing the Intellect & Firing the Imagination - Cont’d The measurement approach taken in the certification is criterion‐based and tracks the involvement of each student in various school programmes. While suppor/ng individual Rafflesians in their desired specialisa/ons, the RD also places emphasis on other areas, ensuring a healthy, holis/c balance in academic excellence. 2010 GCE ‘A’ Level Results The fourth batch of students of the Raffles Programme gave a strong showing in their GCE ‘A’ Level examina/on performance. F i fty‐ni ne of our stud ents (or 12. 9% of the RGS candidates) achieved distinctions in all their subjects, whilst 103 (or 22.5% of the RGS candidates) achieved seven or more dis/nc/ons. 135 of our students (or 29.5% of the RGS candidates) achieved a perfect university admission score.

Illumina*ng Nature And Manicured Nature Illuminating Nature is a multidisciplinary exploration of Nature by RGS Students. The programme, which was launched this year, brought together a diverse group of students with special interests in Science, Literature and Art. Alongside a dis/nguished panel of professional prac//oners in these disciplines, through explora/on and sharing, the students experienced for themselves up close a mul/plicity of responses to nature. The result of these experiences was translated into scien/fic studies, wri/ngs, works of art and even inter‐disciplinary projects. The students were mentored by ar/sts such as Dr Wang Ruo Bing and Ms Wang Xiaoyun as well as their teachers. The resulting works were showcased in a combined exhibition by RGS students and professional artists from Ar/sts Caravan. Titled ‘Manicured Nature’, the exhibi/on from 14 May to 29 June 2011 was held at the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory.

By organising learning ac/vi/es for needy children and instilling in them a love for learning, RGS students model essential values and lifeskills, and learn the virtues of pa/ence and trust and giving back to society as they take up the responsibility of guiding these young children. Overseas Service‐Learning RGS Overseas Service‐Learning (OSL) aims to serve the needs of overseas communi/es in a way that promotes self‐ sustainability and posi/ve reciprocity, and also to develop character, leadership and lifeskills of RGS students as they contribute to improving the lives of underprivileged youth and their communi/es. In 2010, two expedi/ons were launched to serve communi/es in Cambodia and the Philippines. The OSL Cambodia team concluded a five‐year partnership with two local Cambodia‐ based NGOs – Meakea Organisation and Bridge Across Borders. Operating in the rural area of Takeo Province, OSL teams engaged two Cambodian schools and one children’s community centre, and directly served over 1,600 Cambodian students and pre‐school children for 12 days. The OSL team not only donated numerous textbooks and school supplies, but also gave English lessons and provided basic IT instruction to both students and teachers. They also taught English to children from a community child‐care centre in the village. Lesson plans and materials were also shared with Cambodian teachers. In addi/on, Yr‐4 mentors shared leadership best prac/ces with the Cambodian youth leaders. 2010 marked the conclusion of a fruitful and meaningful partnership An OSL expedi/on to the Philippines was also launched in 2010. Our Philippine partner, the Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation, focuses on poverty reduction and nation‐building. The RGS OSL team worked with Gawad Kalinga volunteers in a slum rese+lement project in the Batangas city. Staying with the community, the team enhanced the surroundings of the se+lement by sexng up two vegetable plots. They also taught English and Art & Crae to the children and donated books and sta/onery. The trip provided the students with a humbling and memorable learning experience.

Work Experience Programme Work Experience Programme (WEP) is organised for Yr‐3 and Yr‐4 girls during their June and November‐December holidays. 56 attachments were arranged during the June holidays this year. A total of ten girls were successful in seeking their own work attachments. RGS girls were encouraged to not only try their hand in industries where they might be interested in going into in the future, but also to try something new. This year we also reached out to alumni and have managed to secure new work a+achments 24 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL for girls who have interests in business, entrepreneurship, as well as non‐profit organisa/ons. Integra-on of Interna-onal Students (IS Scholars) From the /me the scholars arrive in early November, they are put through an induc/on and orienta/on programme to ensure that they adjust well to their new environment. A team of students who call themselves SOFA (Support OF Our Interna/onal Affiliates) take on the task to care for the overall well‐being of the scholars Through raising awareness about the difficul/es Interna/onal Scholars face and organising ini/a/ves to enable them to better cope with these challenges, the group helps the scholars adapt to learning and living in a new environment. Physical Fitness and Health Educa-on Programme RGS physical fitness and health educa/on programme seeks to develop “Healthy Daughters For A Healthier Age” so that RGS girls will be able to independently maintain an ac/ve and healthy lifestyle. The Physical Health Programme (PHP) targets students with special health or fitness needs. Students learn to take control of their own wellness by attending educa/onal discussions on health and exercise issues to help them make more informed health‐related choices and the skills to design an individualised programme. Swimming were also awarded the scholarship for their 2010 representa/ons in the ASEAN Schools Games (ASG), Asian Games and Youth Olympic Games (YOG). In recogni/on of the high level of commitment of our athletes to their sports, RGS has put in placed a Customisa/on Programme to provide differen/a/on in programming for them since 2009. The ‘Eat, Think & Play’ health booklet, which was created by our PE department for students in the Physical Health module taught in PE lessons, includes topics on different aspects of health‐related physical fitness, as well as fundamentals of designing a personal fitness programme. Co‐Curricular Ac-vi-es in RGS RGS Talent Scholarship (Sports) and Customisation Programme for Sports Pupils 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 talent. The scholarship was offered to all Direct School Admission (DSA) sports students who were admitted into Yr‐1 in RGS. In 2011, a total of 35 Yr‐1 students from ten different sports received this scholarship. In addi/on, 11 Yr‐2 to 4 students from Gymnastics (Artistic), Gymnastics (Rhythmic) and 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 experien/al learning opportunities that help develop a strong and healthy body through participation in games, uniformed groups, compe//ons, overseas trips and workshops. Our pupils con/nue to benefit from the teamwork, people skills and leadership development opportunities in the CCAs. They also perform well in a diverse range of ac/vi/es and programmes, and these accomplishments demonstrate that, beyond academic excellence, the Rafflesian remains indefatigably active in her interests and passions and is commi+ed to giving her best in everything she does.

RGS PeRL provides opportunities and platforms for teachers to integrate the principles that underlie best practices in education, with their own. The objective is to hone the Reflective Practitioner who questions and investigates a problem situation in order to better understand the framing of a solu/on that op/mises student learning. Currently, RGS PeRL is involved in four research projects, one of which is the contribu/on of the Performance Task (PT) to teaching and learning in RGS. Focus group sessions have been held with teachers and students to understand their percep/ons towards the PT as an alterna/ve assessment. Emerging research findings are communicated to the school popula/on so that our prac/ces are informed and evidence‐ backed. To enhance the theory‐prac/ce nexus in academic research, RGS PeRL has partnered with the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Prac/ce (CRPP) since April 2010. Dr Lee Yim Ping, a Research Fellow, acts as a Researcher‐in Residence, providing a valuable link in research possibili/es and discourse between RGS PeRL and the CRPP. RGS PeRL also offers Consultancy services for educators. The aim is to engender professional discourse within the Asian educa/onal fraternity, sharing ideas and evidence‐backed prac/ces that are per/nent to our context. By doing so, it aims to enhance RGS’ image as a premier ins/tu/on. This year, consultancy for the Design of the PT and Prac//oner Inquiry were conducted. Par/cipants comprised teachers from RGS and other schools. Customised consultancy services were also offered. For example, in July, curriculum training was provided to a group of teacher‐educators from the Faculty of Educa/on at the Burapha University, Bangkok. The above objec/ves also drive RGS PeRL’s paper presenta/ons at conferences. For example, at the Redesigning Pedagogy Conference organised by the CRPP (30 June – 1 July 2011), our members presented papers at three symposia and one workshop. Through these sessions, we hope to engage other educators with our work in enriching pedagogical prac/ces. RGS PeRL’s vision is to strategically plan and co‐ordinate all academic research activity in the school so that the data can be meaningfully applied. By cul/va/ng the skills of reflec/ve prac/ce, it seeks to enhance the professional teacher who knows the value of mee/ng the varying needs of the students so that students learn well. Speech Day Report 2010/2011 37 The RGS Community - Cont’d Alumni Ma\ers The RGS Chapter The RGS Chapter has been a wonderful supporter of RGS and has assisted the school in many ways: close collabora/on in school ac/vi/es, organising of workshops and social events to promote alumni networking and membership drives to encourage Rafflesians to cherish their unique iden/ty as a member of our RGS community. The Chapter has helped to source for scholarships and raise funds for school causes, organised talks for pupils, provided mentorship and career guidance through events such as the annual ORA Dinner, Connect Dinner, Evergreen Lunch etc. To support the school in broadening the categories of awards given out to students on RGS Speech Day, several alumni cohorts have instituted annual awards that emphasise the importance of recognising students who demonstrate exemplary leadership or communica/on skills. The ‘Heart of Gold” and “Sisters at Heart” awards are aimed at encouraging pupils to develop character values such as exemplary caring and considera/on for others.

On 16 April 2011, principals, 38 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL staff and students (past and present) came together for an aeernoon of reminiscing, food and plenty of laughter. This Homecoming, which follows the Homecoming in celebra/on of the RGS 130th year in 2009, saw an alumni gathering that was not only enthusias/c but par/cipa/ve as well. The highlight for the Homecoming was without a doubt the preview of ‘Consuming Passion – Memories from the Rafflesian Table’. No ordinary cookbook, ‘Consuming Passion’ features 75 heirloom recipes, with accompanying anecdotes and reflec/ons, contributed by members of the RGS community including local celebri/es and RGS alumni Stefanie Sun, Beatrice Chia‐Richmond, Siow Lee Chin and Kit Chan. Workshops demonstra/ng recipes from the cookbook were held and the food tas/ng sessions that followed lee a tantalising taste of a cookbook that truly celebrates the RGS heritage. Parents for RGS Associa-on (PRGS) PRGS busied itself in the last quarter of 2010 with ac/vi/es that included “Breakfast Dialogues with the Principals”, nature and inter‐/dal walks, paren/ng talks on “Cyberwellness”, “Parents as Coach” and “Life at RI (JC)”. Highlight of the year was the 8th PRGS Golf Tournament 2010 held in support of the “Support An RGS Pupil Scheme”. Apart from its role in providing a strategic platform for parents of RGS girls to network and to support school activities, the PRGS undertakes a specific fund‐raising responsibility through these golf tournaments which bring together staff, pupils, parents and alumni members in pursuit of a most meaningful cause. 2011 began with a rousing welcome for the Yr‐1s and their parents. PRGS plays a suppor/ng role in se+ling new parents and in familiarising them with the RGS academic curriculum through parent talks and workshops organised in conjunc/on with the school. The 26 March 2011 AGM saw the elec/on of a new Execu/ve Commi+ee comprising parents from all levels. The 9th Exco started its term with plans to strengthen the strategic links between the parents, pupils and the school as well as (along with the school) to focus on the total development of the pupils. For the first time, a Forum comprising a series of three workshops on “Nurturing The Highly Able Child ‐ Intellectual, Emo/onal and Mental Well‐Being” was introduced. The first of this series was held on 14 May 2011, helmed by a senior Speech Day Report 2010/2011 39 The RGS Community - Cont’d specialist in Educa/onal Psychology who delivered a most engaging presenta/on that drew numerous ques/ons from a full‐capacity audience. This Forum proved popular with the parents as it focused not only on the intellectual but the equally important emo/onal and mental‐well being of our children as well. PRGS also assisted in and partook of the school’s ac/vi/es and fes/vi/es which included the RGS Open House, Sports Fes/val, Arts Tapestry and Racial Harmony Day. These events afforded PRGS opportuni/es to share their experiences with Primary 6 parents at Open House, to show our teamwork and sportsmanship at the sports stadium along with teachers and staff and to warm the hearts of the girls with lovingly‐prepared home‐cooked food. All in all, it was a fulfilling past 12 months and the 9th Exco is raring to go with more exci/ng projects to roll off.

Speech Day Report 2010/2011 59 Cengal Awards Individual Dr Shawn Kaihekulani Yamauchi Lum, Lecturer, Natural Sciences & Science Education Department, NIE Dr Lum has been a key partner and keen supporter of various Science and environmental programmes at RGS. His collabora/on with RGS began in 1999 with the Mandai Reforesta/on Project. This project brought together local and interna/onal schools and government agencies in the name of educa/on and community ac/on. The project expanded to include an annual Nature Learning Camp for primary and secondary school students and this was the precursor to the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory (WELL). His close partnership with the RGS Biology department provided opportuni/es for the teachers to consult and work with him to develop the Biology curriculum and teaching approaches as well as mentor students for their research projects. In the 12 years of partnership with RGS, he has contributed his /me, exper/se and resources to the school but, more importantly, it has been his passion for educa/on and the environment, and the wealth of knowledge that we most appreciate about him. These quali/es have been an inspira/on to both students and staff. 60 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL Dr Shirley Lim, President, Research Communica-on Interna-onal Pte Ltd Dr Lim has been a valued partner with her unstinting support of various Leadership development programmes, and as a role model for alumni engagement with the school. As Patron of the Interna/onal Conven/on for Youth Leaders (ICYL), she nurtured the fledgling ICYL (2006) into what it stands for today – a foremost conven/on known amongst schools for its vision in challenging women leaders of tomorrow. As alumni, she willingly gave /me and guidance, as well as galvanized other alumni to support the school’s efforts at ins/tu/ng the Evergreen Award. Over the years, she has contributed her /me, exper/se and resources to the school but, more importantly, it is her passion for educa/on and the young women of RGS that we most appreciate, which has been an inspira/on to both students and staff. Organisa-on Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Prac-ce (CRPP) In April 2010, the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Prac/ce signed a Le+er of Intent with RGS, establishing a formal partnership. This partnership provided the basis for on‐going professional discourse and collabora/on between CRPP and RGS Pedagogical Research Lab (RGS PeRL). Dr Lee Yim Ping shared her research exper/se as Researcher‐ in‐Residence with weekly visits to RGS as part of the RGS PeRL’s research and consultancy ac/vi/es. The partnership provided theory‐practice nexus in educational inquiry by facilitating an organic, purposeful dialogue between the practitioners and the theoreticians and thereby bridges the gap between educa/onal theories and actual prac/ce. CRPP’s partnership also extended into a research study on RGS’ educational reforms in 2009–2010 which was both extensive and intensive. The study ascertained some of the key factors for the success of whole‐school reform (that is, organisational and pedagogical reforms) in adopting the Raffles Programme. We are especially grateful that the study characterized the student experience as one where there was explora/on of ideas and students were able to deepen their understanding and develop meaning in what was learned. Economic Development Board (EDB) RGS has had the unstinting support of the Economic Development Board through its Human Resources Development Fund. Together with GSK, the EDB has supported the development of the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory (WELL) and provided 6 study grants for outstanding students in the Raffles Academy — our programme that nurtures very talented students in the upper levels in subjects such as Higher Chinese Language, Mathema/cs, Sciences, Literature, History and Geography. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) GSK shares RGS’ vision for educa/on, especially in offering school children a ‘borderless classroom’ experience and the opportunity to learn about nature within the natural sexng. It is with this vision that GSK so generously sponsored the establishment of the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory (WELL) together with RGS and the Economic Development Board (EDB) in 2009. WELL is the first environmental learning laboratory in Singapore. It is a one‐stop learning centre in the Dairy Farm Nature Park for scien/fic research, na/onal educa/on, community service, teacher training and interna/onal exchange. GSK‐EDB also made provisions for 6 study grants for outstanding students in the Raffles Academy — our programme that nurtures very talented students in the upper levels in subjects such as Higher Chinese Language, Mathematics, the Sciences, Literature, History and Geography. Speech Day Report 2010/2011 61 Cengal Awards - Cont’d NParks RGS’ collaboration with NParks began in 1993 when the Environmental Club students, together with Mrs Ummu Choo (then the Teacher‐in‐charge), adopted a small plot of forest in the Bukit Timah area for two years. In 1999 RGS re‐established partnership with NParks through the Mandai Reforesta/on Project — an ini/a/ve that was established by Dr Shawn Lum, an NIE Lecturer. Since then, NParks has con/nued to be a valued partner in various ways; namely, co‐organising the Annual Nature Learning Camp, providing expertise and resources for our Research Studies and Community Problem Solving groups, gran/ng RGS special permission to carry out studies in natural and protected areas, collabora/ng in environmental outreach programmes like ‘Fun with Nature’ for primary school children and the public and, more recently, the construc/on of the Wallace Educa/on Centre and partnering with RGS to establish the Wallace Environmental Learning Laboratory (WELL). 62 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL Staff Awards RGS Long Service Awards 2011 Mrs Lee‐Lim Chyn Miss Wong Wei Peng Sally Mdm Loy Hui Nin Mdm Eriyanty Binte Tugi Mrs Alina Wee Ms Hoo Ka Mun Carmen Ms Kum Suat Sie Sandi Ms Lee Hui Ling Chris/na 20 years 20 years Head of Admissions Head of Department – Science Humani/es Department 15 years 10 years 10 years 10 years 10 years Languages Department Senior Teacher – Humani/es Department Subject Head – PE Year 4 Head of Year Mathema/cs Department Mathema/cs Deparment 10 years Front Office, Administra/on Long Service Medals 2011 Mr Ng Hwee Chung Edward Ms Lim Shok Hoon Mr Chan Siong Weng Deputy Principal – Pupil & Faculty Development Humani/es Department Laboratory A+endant MOE Long Service Award 2011 Mrs Julie Hoo 20 years Principal Service to Educa-on Award 2011 for School Advisory Commi\ee / School Management Commi\ee / Board Members Mr Kwek Leng Kee 20 years & above Member Na-onal Day Awards Commenda*on Medal 2011 Mr Michael Francis Jalleh Director – Academic Studies Speech Day Report 2010/2011 63 Record of Achievements 64 RAFFLES GIRLS’ SCHOOL Record of Achievements Scholarships: Undergraduate President’s Scholarship 2011 411 (2008) Xiao Yifei PSC Undergraduate Scholarships 2011 Overseas Merit Scholarship (Legal Service) 411 (2008) Ting Yue Xin Victoria 414 (2008) Ng May 414 (2008) Teo Meng Hui Jocelyn Overseas Merit Scholarship (Open) 411 (2008) Nur Fikri Bte Mohamed Rafik A 411 (2008) Xiao Yifei 415 (2008) Ong Pei Wen Joyce Singapore Government Scholarship (Open) 411 (2008) Han Lyn 413 (2008) Li Jiawen Mabel 413 (2008) Lim Shin Hui 414 (2008) Ooi Li Ting 414 (2008) Sanusha D/O S Sritharan 414 (2008) Tee Zhi Yu HUS Undergraduate Scholarships 2011 Singapore Government Scholarship (Police) 415 (2008) Jolene Kua Hwee Min Local Merit Scholarship (Central Narco*cs Bureau) 402 (2008) Goh Pei Ying MFA Undergraduate Scholarships 2011 Singapore Government Scholarship (Foreign Service) 406 (2008) Wong Zhan Yi, Debby MOE Teaching Scholarships 2011 Educa*on Merit Scholarship 402 (2008) Celine Chia Jing Chuan 410 (2008) Aqilah Bte Abdul Rahim 411 (2008) Shong Kai/ng Grace 413 (2008) Rebecca Tan En Hui 415 (2008) Tan En Ci Michelle Teaching Scholarship (Local) 411 (2008) Loong Xiu Fen Shona 412 (2008) Hannah Lois Ng Speech Day Report 2010/2011 65 Record of Achievements -
