Most students from the school secured five’A’s or higher in the 104 awards that were attempted by the batch of 12 students.

“I would like to congratulate the IGCSE batch of 2010 from RIS, West on their outstanding performance. Raffles has been my alma mater when I was growing up in Singapore and this incredible performance reinstates the position of Raffles institutes on the top of the league of education institutes,” ,” said Nair.

The school plays an essential part in nurturing an individual. To that I would also like to recommend the elements of Pride (satisfaction in everything you do), Passion (the fervour that will see you through obstacles in life) and Probity (the honesty that assures people around you) that go a long way in making an individual successful,” added Nair.

Pranav Rajpurkar, a student of the RIS school West Campus, turned an incredible performance with nine ‘A’s, a feat very few have achieved in the UAE.

“Pranav’s success, and that of his peers, is the result of tremendous dedication and commitment. Considering we are a new school established only two years ago, this achievement comes as a special honour indicating that our students were well equipped to face anything the external exams could pose for them,” said Carol Meyers, Head of Middle and High School, Raffles International School, West Campus.
