The Raffles Parents’ Association Subheader
The new committee has planned several events that parents can look forward to.
So far, we’ ve had an NS Talk on 9 March, where our outgoing MC member Brigadier General Ishak Ismail shared about how parents can help prepare their sons( and themselves too) for National Service. Next, we had our Family Connect event on 6 April, a morning packed with fun and games for the whole family. The fun-filled activity was attended by 60 parents and their children.
In the pipeline are career talks, townhall meetings, lunches and breakfasts with the principal, the RI Open House, Teacher’ s Day celebrations, PSLE Maths workshops, the Supervised Study Programme( SSP), A-Level Dinner, Scholar Hosting and perhaps another mission trip.
We also have our ongoing Zumba classes which see many mums( and some dads) dancing their way to a slimmer figure. And if dancing is not your cup of tea, you can also try our yoga classes.
Please check out our RPA Facebook for photos of past events and visit our website http:// raffles-pa. blogspot. sg /.
On a personal note, this is my fourth year serving in the RPA MC and I’ m proud to be part of this dynamic Raffles family. It is indeed a pleasure to contribute in whichever way I can and I hope that more parents can come forward to help, as well as participate.
