What has left an indelible mark on me of my deeply-formative time in RI was its diversity and being immersed in a community that thrived on the commitment to excellence and self-belief. Among my peers, our home backgrounds did not matter.
Obviously, today’s RI is different from the RI I attended in the 1980s, in the same way that the Singapore of yesteryear and today are.
But fundamentals like the relatively abundant opportunities to self-discover, grow in belief, lead, contribute, and the pervasive egalitarian ethos must be entrenched within the school ethos and psyche.
