Another blood donation drive was held recently at Multi-Purpose Hall of the school. A total of 32 pints of blood was gathered.
The RIPAS blood bank sometimes run short of valuable blood types so these continuous blood donation campaign is an excellent educational aid in increasing awareness on the importance of donating blood and to encourage existing donors to donate regularly.
Cg Teo Ying Ying, as the main organiser of the campaign, said "we had overwhelming interest from the Lower Sixth (Year 12) students at the moment but unfortunately they fell just below 17 years old. So we are planning for another to have another donation drive at the end of this year because by then they would be eligible to donate!".
A student volunteer, Nur Adlina bte Abdullah Sahbowai said, "donating blood is one of the many ways you can contribute to society, so donate and save lives."
