Hear from our student
During my time at RP, the school and lecturers provided me with invaluable opportunities and support, including extensive resources, emotional guidance, and encouragement to push me beyond my comfort zone. This support enabled me to win gold at WorldSkills Singapore 2023, serve as Vice President of the SOH Club, and receive the Sands Hospitality Scholarship. At SOH, students are nurtured and supported to achieve their goals.— Yu Si En Rachel, 2025 Graduate, WorldSkills gold medallist for hotel reception, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at National University Singapore
