RPA Career Talk 2011 - The Legal Profession

We wrapped this year’s RPA Career talks with an informative session by A/P Lan Luh Luh, Deputy Director for the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, National University of Singapore. Held in Lecture Theatre 3 in the Year 5 and 6 campus on 15 October 2011 (Saturday), she gave an exciting talk about her experiences in both private practice and academia.

Prof Lan gave a comprehensive view of the legal profession and elaborated on the legal scene both locally and abroad. She recalled her days working in a private law firm and reminded the RI students present of the demands and commitment needed for the legal profession. Prof Lan currently holds a joint position in both the NUS Business School and Law School. Being part of the team interviewing prospective undergraduates for the Law faculty, she was able to share about the Faculty interview and written tests for the LLB programme in NUS.

Parents were very happy to have gathered many useful information and they were seen crowding around Prof Lan even after the talk. Responses from the parent survey showed that the talk was very well received.

2011 A-Level Suppers

Dear RPA Members,

The A levels supper started on 17th Oct Monday ending on 28Th Oct Friday. We served an average of 400 students a night, a lot more since we started 4 years ago.
Menu changes every night. So far, we have served Japanese, Italian, Korean, Indonesian, Western, Stew, SSS (soup salad sandwich), devoting one day to fish and finally ending with International Fest. Judging from the students’ response, I believe they enjoyed the food a lot.
We also try to follow the theme for each night for the halal and the vegetarian meals as well.
Many thank s to the parents who came every night to serve the students. Many thanks to the councilors who partnered us to help with various tasks like setting up tables, serving the desserts etc. Many thanks to the parents who donated food. And of course , many thanks to the parents who made this possible with their cash donations.
RPA wants to wish all Year 6 students (and their parents) all the best for their A levels. We are very proud of them and know they are doing their best!
