HIGHLIGHTS OF 2020 TERM 3/4

In celebration of Teachers’ Day 2020, RGS House interviewed some of our teachers to feature in this video. Inspired by the popular YouTube series ‘73 Questions with Vogue’, RGS House hoped that the video will allow students to get to know their teachers better - their likes, dislikes and motivations.


	Values-in-Action: Year 1 School Clean-Up As part of an in-house Values-in-Action activity organised by our Community Youth Leadership students, our Year 1s participated in a school clean-up activity to better support our elderly cleaners’ and our estate crew’s work.


	RGS Triple C Programme: Shoe Donation Drive Our Year 3 students in the Triple C Programme ran a shoe donation drive for a non-profit organisation, Soles4Souls, in partnership with Marymount Centre’s Good Shepard student Care.


	Staff Make a Difference! During the November break, groups of staff rallied together to assist in repacking masks at Xin Yuan Community Care’s Wellness and Activity Centre for distribution to their beneficiaries.


	Celebrating 10 Years of RGS PeRL The RGS Centre for Pedagogical Research & Learning celebrates its 10th anniversary this year as Singapore’s first and only secondary school-based research centre!


	Sports Fest 2020 From sporting events like the interclass shuttle relay and foot boule, to beach volleyball, classroom games and the highly-anticipated staff and parents novelty race, the RGS PE Department spared no effort to ensure that the spirit and atmosphere of our annual RGS Sports Fest remains even with all the changes that had to be introduced to cope with safe management measures and the wet weather.
