Rafflesians, This Is Our Moment

Raffles Institution has embarked on an ambitious campus and learning space transformation initiative — one that will shape the future of teaching and learning for generations of students to come.
Every one of us has walked these halls, and benefited from the opportunities, values, and experiences RI gave us. This campaign is our chance to stand together once again, in support of our alma mater and the Rafflesians who will follow in our footsteps.

This is far more than a fundraising effort — it is a shared investment in the future of Rafflesian education, and a living expression of the spirit of giving back that has always defined our community. What makes us strong is not the size of any single gift, but the power of all of us united by a common purpose. When Rafflesians come together, we build something lasting.

You may choose to contribute individually — or better still, we encourage every cohort, batch, and ORA interest group to consider pooling your efforts. Gather your classmates, plan something around your reunions or group activities, and raise funds together as one community. Every contribution, large or small, counts towards our shared goal.

ORA fully supports this vital initiative, and we are proud to stand alongside fellow alumni to build better learning environments for the generations ahead.

Come Heed the Call: https://www.ri.edu.sg/come-heed-the-call/

One school. One community. One shared commitment to the future.

Are you a musician, dancer, spoken word poet, singer, or someone who just loves to create?

We want you.

Creating Joy is a series of fun, informal mixed arts jams bringing together music, song, spoken word, poetry, and dance in one spontaneous, infectious, and joyful space. This is “by the people, for the people” — open to all ages, all levels, and every art enthusiast. No auditions. No pressure. Just passionate people creating together.

For this National Day edition of Creating Joy: Finding Joy, we're inviting performers to explore where joy shows up in their lives — a place, a person, a memory, a sound, a small everyday moment. Bring a song, a spoken word piece, a poem, a dance, or something uniquely yours that shows how you find your joy.
You don't need to be a professional — just passionate, and willing to share.

We'll also be leading a few NDP sing-along favourites — so if you'd like to help lead or arrange a sing-along/dance-along moment, let us know when you sign up.

We’re building our Creating Joy community — a community of people who believe in the joy of creating together — and we want you in it. Get on our list and tell us a little about you — what you do, what moves you, what you’d love to bring into the room. We’ll be in touch to finalise participation for this session and upcoming ones.

Whether you have a piece ready or just want to be on our radar, we’d love to know you’re out there!

Lifelong learning, with something practical to take home. This time: building AI agents that can work for you.

The Old Rafflesians’ Association (ORA) and the Harvard Club of Singapore are running our first educational workshop together. It will be a building session, not another talk.

Over two hours, participants will build their own AI agents from a blank slate and take them home for personal use.

No coding background needed. The workshop is deliberately small, with volunteer troubleshooters from both alumni communities on hand throughout, at roughly one troubleshooter for every eight participants.

📅 Saturday, 5 September 2026
🕒 3–5pm, doors open at 2:30pm
📍 Tan Teck Chwee Lecture Theatre (LT2), Raffles Institution
🎟️ $10 for ORA members · $25 for other Rafflesians and guests

Register by 31 July 2026. Event link: https://luma.com/zchmacab
