the arch may look plainly an arch in other people's eyes but in my eyes it's extraordinary in my ordinary school life. to be honest, when I first saw the arch when school reopens for the new school year, i didn't really like the design but after knowing that the arch is built by using the money of the school alumni as a gift in gratitude and to give back to RV. I felt very bad as I thought of the amount of money they spent just to sincerely thank RV; even a drawing of it cost a bomb moreover paying for the construction that lasted for a few months long. It is also saddening that despite the money spent, I read a lot of complains and negative comments about the arch all over the Internet. I think that we should stop complaining and try to appreciate the arch as it is something that make us stand out more from most of the other government schools in Singapore and we should be proud of it. The arch is also painted in our school colors: red symbolizes radiance, progress and vitality, blue symbolizes steadfastness, graciousness and serenity while white symbolizes purity and receptiveness to innovation. In a nutshell, the RV arch gives me a sense of identity thus making it extraordinary.
the alumni too showed the value of 感恩立德 and after I graduate from RV, I would also give all my best to contribute back to the school.
