Nature, Nurture, Adventure

RVRC was founded on the integrated themes of sustainability and workplace readiness. Many of our courses incorporate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to prepare students for their future workplace. RVRC Fellows believe that learning for this mission needs to be multifaceted; we focus on experiential outdoor learning and collaborate with external partners, treating the world as our classroom. Students are also encouraged to join meaningful college activities, diverse interest groups, events, or adopt student leadership roles towards this mission. This is aptly summed up by our new college slogan, launched as part of the RV10 celebrations: Nature, Nurture, Adventure.

Upon joining RVRC, students become a member of our diverse residential community and are invited to engage with peers in bonding activities that make RVRC a home away from home. Thus, when joining RVRC, students become members of a close-knit community, meet many people, and form friendships that might last a lifetime. Each of the RVRC residential blocks is organised in a House, represented by a rare or endangered animal native to Singapore:

Manis [Sunda Pangolin]: Block A

Strix [Spotted Wood Owl]: Block B

Aonynx [Asian Small-clawed Otter]: Block C

Orcaella [Irrawaddy Dolphin]: Block D

Rusa [Sambar Deer]: Block E

Chelonia [Green Sea Turtle]: Block F Levels 1-4

Panthera [Malayan Tiger]: Block F Level 5-8
