Humanities Club
Description
The objectives of the RI Humanities Club are to develop an understanding of the Humanities and Current Affairs in Rafflesians, as well as to inculcate a sense of responsibility with respect to environmental issues.
In order to instill in our members a sense of civic mindedness and greater environmental awareness, the club has organized a wide variety of internal and external events such as opening of the school's new Eco-Garden as well as Sharing@RI- A Blanket of Voices on Global Warming (an art competition involving many schools).The club's members have also shared tips on Dengue Fever with the residents of Kolam Ayer as part of the Home Creation Project. For the last 3 years, the Humanities Club has also organized the Green Game during the "Clean and Green Singapore" festival for about 20 primary and secondary schools.
The Humanities club provides many opportunities for its members to interact with other organizations and schools on many platforms. This would include a myriad of prestigious Humanities competitions organized by NUS and various Junior Colleges, as well as collaborations with environmental organizations such as the Singapore Environment Council and the National Environment Agency.
It is our aspiration that through these activities, Rafflesians will be exposed to more aspects of the Humanities, as well as be inspired to champion Mother Earth's cause as environmental leaders and ambassadors.
