Creative and Critical Thinking are staples of the General Paper programme at Raffles, which equips students to form their own opinions on matters of individual, national and international importance. Project work, structured debates and conferences feature regularly in the course.
Effective Communication – Students learn to communicate effectively – both orally and through writing – in order to present a persuasive and reasoned opinion in a variety of situations. In the classroom, lessons are often informal and students are given ample opportunities to express their views.
A Varied Programme – The General Paper at Raffles features an exciting range of teaching methods and activities, including discussion groups, research work, learning journeys and visits, surveys, media analysis and debates.
A Wealth of Information – Apart from a GP resource website, the GP and KI units publish a KS Bulletin which features the best of students’ work and articles on writing skills and general knowledge.
