Take 5
Students and staff turned up en masse on the sands of Palawan and Tanjong Beach to commemorate Total Defence Day with the annual Take 5. Themed‘ United We Stand’, this event marked the first time the entire Year 1 – 6 cohort congregated in Sentosa for Take 5. In addition to the main concert staged on Palawan beach, the Rafflesians participated in activities and games such as Omnikin, Handball, A Minute to Win It and Frisbee. There was also an Amazing Race across Palawan Beach, a busking competition, carnival rides and a booth providing free temporary tattoos.
No Shoes Day
In a campaign to help raise funds and awareness for the poor living conditions of children in Kenya, Rafflesians bared their soles for a day to experience the plight of the less fortunate. With campaign efforts ranging from photo booths, donating of shoes to fund-raising sales, the highprofile event certainly made for an interesting sight, as students— and even teachers— spent the day treading about barefoot. The campaign, now in its second year running, was organised by Community Advocates in collaboration with the Tana River Life Foundation, has collected 382 pairs of shoes to date.
