Raffles and Raffles - together, yet separate

" The Raffles merger was proposed by the RJC and RI boards to implement a seamless six-year curriculum for the three schools, which are already closely intertwined.
Under their Raffles Programme, RI and RGS students go directly to RJC without sitting for the O levels.

RGS principal Julie Hoo told The Straits Times that her board, headed by Justice Judith Prakash, did not see how a merger would be advantageous in the long-term.
She said RGS had built up its identity as the premier girls' school here and risked losing a rich tradition of producing generations of women leaders.
She added that despite staying out, RGS will look at ways to collaborate more closely with the merged school. "
