The Parents for RGS Association (PRGS) is a committed group of parents who share the school’s mission and form a crucial support network for our RGS girls.

Cengal, a tall hardwood tree indigenous to South East Asia is very much a part of the Singaporean heritage, having lent its name to the area of Changi. Cengal wood is valued for its strength and has been selected as an appropriate symbol of the sustained support, contribution and collaboration these valued friends and partners have rendered to our school and our students over the years. This year, one individual and four organisations are being recognised for their partnerships with RGS. Individual Award Ms Han Juat Hoon Ms Han stands out as an alumna who approached the school to express her desire to give back through a seven-figure donation to the Raffles Programme and RGS’ New Campus Development Fund. To date, no one individual has made such a substantial contribution to the school. Through her humility and gracious generosity, she serves as a veritable role model for our students. Organisation Award Apple Address: UE BizHub Central, 12 Ang Mo Kio Street 64, Singapore 569088 Apple has been a pillar of support for RGS since the school introduced 1:1 computing in 2010, notably in manpower resource and expertise. During the pilot phase of the programme, Apple provided the school with Macbooks and iPads over a period of two years. In the run up to the launch of RGS 1:1, Apple arranged for professional development sessions for RGS staff members. Two of Apple’s consultants were invited in 2011 to train RGS staff in 1:1 computing in their subject-disciplines. Over the years, Apple has regularly provided professional development workshops for RGS staff to deepen their expertise. In particular, Apple kept close contact with RGS via their staff member who was in constant conversation with RGS regarding the school’s implementation needs and concerns. Centre for Biomedical Ethics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore Address: Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Block MD11, #02-01, Clinical Research Centre, 10 Medical Drive, Singapore 117597 For the past three years, the NUS Bioethics Centre has provided RGS with relevant articles and resource persons to speak about diverse real-life cases involving various aspects of scientific human enhancement. Their contributions have helped ground the class discussion on actual contemporary cases, making the lessons more accessible and relevant to the girls. These real-life scientific cases brought in by the resource speakers from the Centre complemented the theoretical aspect of ethical instruction provided by the RGS staff. The students are also given opportunities to interact, share and learn from the perspective of [ 16 ] Raffles Girls’ School students in their age group who belong to a different culture. This partnership between RGS and the NUS Bioethics Centre helped nurture RGS girls who are not only knowledgeable about the ethical issues involving human enhancement, but are also cognisant of how these issues play out in the lives of real people in the real world. FaithActs Address: Blk 50 Commonwealth Drive #01-506, Singapore 142050 FaithActs collaborated with RGS in developing the Year 1 Values-in-Action (VIA) Learning Journey. As part of the VIA preparation, FaithActs provided information on the needs of the community in the area. They were the liaison between the school and homeowners (“home cleaning”), National Environment Agency (“block cleaning”) and management of hawker centres (“hawker centre clean-up”). During the activities, they provided space for pre-activity briefings as well as on-the-ground support for staff and students. They also assisted in providing transportation from the gathering point to activity venues. Both staff and students benefitted from the hands-on experience, developing a deeper understanding of the role and responsibility of man to his environment as well as a deeper appreciation for the oft-overlooked members of the community. Staff and students were also able to derive a sense of fulfilment from the meaningful service they provided as well as from the interactions with the people in the community, thanks to FaithActs who has played a key role in the development and execution of the Y1 VIA Learning Journey. ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute Address: 30 Heng Mui Keng Terrace, Singapore 119614 ISEAS has been providing RGS students with work experience opportunities since 2011. In 2011, these opportunities include allowing students to be engaged in research, academic discourses and publishing in a real-life setting. The skills and knowledge that these students acquired through the attachment covered the whole gamut of academic publishing: copyediting; proofreading; understanding of intellectual property and rights including reprint and translation rights; typesetting; printing; binding; e-publishing; book promotion and catalogue production; subscriptions; distribution and trade discounts; and warehousing. Other than being given hands-on tasks of proofreading and copyediting manuscripts, RGS students even tried their hand at designing a book cover for ASEAN Day 2011 and strategising on ways to market a new book. Since 2012, the partnership was extended to the ISEAS Library, where students learnt about conservation work, transcription and synopsis writing of oral history, the packaging of selective web pages and scripting of infoalerts, digitisation of contents for online access, metadata tagging for new acquisition, as well as technical aspects of collection management: processing private records, stock-take and conservation of books, as well as users and usage profiling to build up databases. Students were, therefore, able to experience not only the different aspects of academic research, but also help create content relevant to the Humanities disciplines throughout the course of their attachment. This has invariably deepened their interest in and understanding of Southeast Asia and research opportunities related to this region.

These original compositions express the students’ love for the school, and celebrate the school’s 136th Founder’s Day. The poems help to weave together this year’s concert items, to present the RGS narrative. Aria Light bursts forth, radiant. New voices sing silent, then stronger, and a song takes wing Dawn moves: a dance. Voices merge, blend together into a multitude of colours; an iridescent splendor. From dawn to dawn we rise; we move with the winds our souls dance in sunlight, a blessed golden tint that kindles our spirit and shines bright through the song From passion everlasting, we rise upward, strong. Fierce drumming heartbeats move deeply beneath the power of thousands. And fire is unleashed of youth’s gold elixir, flowing through our veins. Roots twine round our past while wings lift us to fame. Paths lead out of darkness, from footsteps long past. Memories sing from years gone, yet forever they’ll last They gild our spirits, forged silver with beliefs, as our echoes and whispers still ride on the breeze. And one voice carries through, out of a harmony pure The book turns another page; through the years we soar. One heart carries on, and we sing through the night Filiae Melioris Aevi, and so our souls take flight. - Kimberly Tan (401) and Alison Tan (407) [ 58 ] Raffles Girls’ School One Heart, One Voice There are two different houses from which I hail And two families to which I belong A constant pulse and its rhythm prevail Two hearts now beating to harmonious song A sister at heart, a daughter of the world I take courage, for dreamers soar freely I’ll proudly proclaim I’m a Raffles girl And make the dreams true in reality Anchored but free with deep roots and strong wings, Gracefully poised and eager to take flight, I embrace my identity, which rings true, and at last I let my light shine bright. Stepping through the gate, I make my choice I choose to join my sisters - one heart, one voice. - Natasha Rae Zuzarte (306) Speech Day Report 2014/2015 [ 59 ] [ 60 ] Raffles Girls’ School
