History of RPA
 
RPA has a short but interesting history. The organisation was originally formed in 1988 with the goal of establishing a formal link between the parents and the school community. Her objective is to foster a close partnership between the parents and the school community in Raffles Institution.
 
Parents of the Raffles Junior College students were included from July 1994.
