EVENTS
Halloween Party at Raffles
The event to highlight this month is Halloween. The last week of October, Raffles held a Halloween party in the new campus cafe not only to celebrate the festive occasion, but to also give a fun opportunity for students to meet new students, lecturers, and other people. In other words, it was a great event to make new friends. Many people dressed up in the costumes of their choice. There was also a lot of food and drinks to enjoy. It was a great overall reception!
Raffles in Education Fairs
HARROW FAIR
This month was filled with multiple fairs even some days having as much as 2 fairs happening the same day. Out of these education fairs, one of the most notable was the fair held at Harrow International School. Raffles marketing team arrived early in the morning to set up the booth. It was a very busy event to say the least with plenty of foot traffic as students walked up and down the aisles. Some students were with groups of friends looking at possible future opportunitites that will help shape their future. It was an overall great fair especially with the free yummy treats such as pizza and Krispy Kreme Donuts.
NIST FAIR
Another fair that took place in the month of October was at NIST. This fair wasn’t as full and active as the one at Harrow International School, but it still had some parents attend with their children’s best interest in mind. The team got some supportive parents come to the booth to find out more about the programs and opportunities. Probably the less eventful fairs in comparsion to others that happened this month, but still was an experience.
