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 .

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 .
