RPS Alumni Reunion Hi-Tea 2025 – Time to Go Back to School, Ladies!

The alumni association of SMK Raja Perempuan, Ipoh (RPS) is gearing up for the 2nd Reunion Hi-Tea this September. With the theme “Sirih Pulang ke Gagang”, the event is about going back to school, reconnecting with old friends and having a good time.

Date: 6th September 2025
Time: 3pm – 6pm
Venue: Casuarina@Meru, Ipoh

RPS has long been one of Ipoh’s premier girls’ schools. Established in 1949 as the Government English Girls’ School, it quickly built a strong reputation for academics, sports and character. Their hockey and netball teams are still the town’s pride, while many alumnae have gone on to make their mark in different fields.

Among the most celebrated is Yang Mulia Toh Puan Raja Dato’ Seri Utama Noora Ashikin Raja Abdullah, wife of Tun Ramli Ngah Talib, the ninth Yang Dipertua Negeri Pulau Pinang.

A Reunion Across Generations

The Alumni RPSian Association, set up only five years ago, is the driving force behind the reunion. After the success of their first event last year, this time they are expecting around 300 alumnae, from young graduates to senior members in their seventies.

Even more special, six of the school’s former headmistresses are expected to attend. This is a rare chance for different generations to meet and share memories under one roof.
