Creating a Value-Centric Community
Carefully designed community engagement activities are embedded in the RVRC Programme to make learning fun, while becoming the catalyst for strategic learning outcomes beyond the classroom. The RVN modules in particular focus on the community engagement within the broad field of sustainability. RVRC also provides the opportunity for students to engage in community centric activities beyond the academic curriculum. These activities aim to cultivate and instil the values of inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and environmental stewardship in our students, and are part of the holistic student development.
RVRC Coastal Cleanup
RVRC’s Annual Coastal Cleanup is organized in conjunction with The International Coastal Cleanup - an annual data-gathering exercise that is coordinated by the Ocean Conservancy globally, conducted in Singapore since 1992. The activity gives RVRC Year One students a chance to witness firsthand the challenges and impact of marine debris. Our students also collect data on the different types and volume of marine debris that ends up on Singapore beaches.
Walk for Rice
The RVRC community has been organizing an annual college walk across the Southern Ridges. Spanning over 8 kilometers, the walk begins at the RVRC Lawn and ends at Mount Faber. It includes the staff and student community of the college. This effort is undertaken for the Kent Ridge Walk For Rice, where for every 200m walked by a participant NTUC donates 2 bowls of rice to underprivileged families. The college has been able to contribute around 18,000 bowls of rice every year.
