Riverside Secondary School

Riverside Secondary School (abbreviation: RSS) is a co-educational, single session, government school on Woodlands Street 81, Singapore. Students of the school are referred to as "Riversidians". Mdm Shanti Devi is the current principal.

Riverside Secondary School has been ranked in the top 50 secondary schools in Singapore. Recognised by the Singapore Ministry of Education in April 2008 for its niche programme in dance, the school has been given approval to allocate up to 5% of its next student intake for discretionary admission via the Direct School Admission scheme.

Riverside Secondary's CCAs (co-curricular activities) are under four main groups: Uniformed Groups; Visual and Performing Arts; Clubs and Societies and Physical Sports. Uniformed Group CCAs include National Police Cadet Corp, St. John's Ambulance Brigade, Girls' and Boys' Brigade, as well as National Cadet Corp (Sea). Visual and Performing Arts include Drama Club (ACT@RS), Chinese, Malay as well as Indian Dance. Riverside also has Robotics Club, as well as Infocomm Club. Physical Sports CCAs include Football, Softball, Basketball and Badminton. Riverside also offers two CCAs for students to take up as their second CCA. They are the AV Crew, and the Library CCA.

Riverside conducts two sessions of CCA Exploration Week and three sessions of CCA Selection Week for students to take up a CCA. On the CCA Selection Week session, a student must queue up for an interview or audition. After the interview, the teacher will notify the student whether they will offer him or her a place. If the student is not accepted, the student goes on to his second choice. If he is accepted, he will need to sign a form in order to be recognised as a member of that CCA. If he chooses not to sign the form, he can move on to his second choice. Students who have been rejected from all CCAs that they have visited will have to stay back in school during the next Selection Week day to choose their CCAs again. CCAs have a limited vacancy, and some CCAs require expertise in some areas. For example, the Infocomm Club requires students to have a basic knowledge about handling DSLRs.
