1st Collaboration, 2014
A 4-Teachers' team from SJSS, led by SJSS International Education Coordinator Ms Sayuri Onaka, visited RI's Science Hub to understand more about Raffles Programme (Science curriculum) and the works of Research Laboratories and Students' Laboratories.
Head Science 1, Mr Joseph Chong, several Science Teachers and Chief Science Laboratory Manager Mr Tan Cheng Leng, led the SJSS Team to a number of facilities within the Science Hub, including the Photonics Laboratory and the Research Centre which has two in-house Scientists Dr Jeffrey Lee and Dr Lee Zhiying to mentor students' projects.
Drs. Lee also shared their research experience with the SJSS visitors, on the various research projects conducted at the Research Centre.

Key message of 2014 RI Hair for Hope Project (organised by Raffles Leadership Institute), written in ink made from human hair collected at 2013 RI Hair for Hope project.
Concurrently in mid 2014, RI Lower Secondary Science Unit was in the midst of preparating for the 5th RI Hair for Hope Project (organisd by Raffles Leadership Institute Year 5-6) to support fund-raising effort of the Singapore Children’s Cancer Foundation.
Six Year 1 student-volunteers learnt how to make hair ink from human hair collected by their seniors at this community service project (hair collected in 2013 4th RI Hair for Hope Project).
After learning the technique, these students demonstrated the experiment to SJSS Team on 3 April 2014 at Science Hub Discovery Laboratory. This demonstration of making ink made from human hair will be shared with SJSS Students when they come for Exchange Programme at RI on 17 Sep 2014.
