RI brings back football CCA for juniors, announces more admission pathways on 200th anniversary bash

Raffles Institution (RI) is stepping up efforts to bring in students from more diverse backgrounds by expanding its direct school admission programme eligibility criteria

The school will also introduce joint sports programmes with Guangyang Secondary School, a neighbourhood school located nearby in Bishan

This programme includes football, a popular sport that has not been offered by RI as a secondary school CCA for more than 20 years

The new initiatives were announced by RI's principal on Sunday (May 28) as the school celebrated its 200th anniversary

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called on the school to continue exemplifying Singapore’s “inclusive spirit and egalitarian ethos”
