Principal's Message
Welcome to Raffles
Girl's School
I
recall vividly and fondly how, in 1982, I donned
the blue pinafore and white blouse of the school
uniform and strode into Raffles Girls’ School,
starry-eyed. I had heard rave reviews of the
school and its colourful school life, and was
most excited to embark on the reputable
Rafflesian journey. The next four years proved
to be the most enriching and fulfilling
experience for me. Surrounded by capable and
creative friends and supported by knowledgeable
and encouraging teachers, I was constantly
challenged to better myself, in my studies and
as a person. My friends and I all emerged
grateful for that immersive and memorable
experience which bonded us well as a Rafflesian
family forever.
Some thirty years on, RGS has continued to
provide top-quality education for the
high-ability girls of Singapore, and more. In
recent years, it has collaborated with Raffles
Institution to design and implement the
distinctive Raffles Programme – one that seeks
to develop the Person, Thinker, Leader and
Pioneer in every girl. Through an enriched
curriculum that offers both breadth and depth,
and a stimulating environment that fosters
critical thinking, creativity and team work, our
girls are caringly nurtured into women of
character, scholarship and leadership, with a
strong sense of contributing back to society and
the nation.
All these accomplishments would not have been
possible without the visionary leadership of
past principals and the unwavering efforts of
many generations of staff, students, alumni and
parents. Anchored on the core values of RGS --
People-centred, Principled, Passionate and
Professional – the RGS community has created a
premier girls’ school that is known for its
pioneering spirit, excellent curriculum, and a
unique blend of tradition and modernity.
The next chapter of RGS will be an exciting
and defining phase for the school, as we seek to
develop a new and integrated campus at the
Braddell-Westlake site, in order to cater to the
wide range of programmes in the school and with
the community. With your generous support, we
hope that we will be able to create a vibrant
environment and a forward-looking school – the
cradle where Singapore’s future female leaders
are nurtured, and a place where all our girls
can look back on with wonderful memories and
immense pride. The same manner that my friends
and I do now, having passed through this way
some twenty years ago.
May we work together to nurture daughters of
a better age.
