Queen's Medal
The Queen's Medal is awarded to the cadet graduating top of their class academically. It was originally instituted in 1919, when it was called the King's Medal, and all cadets, including foreign cadets attending the College, are eligible. Indeed, Singaporean cadets established a long tradition of receiving this honour, doing so in 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1982 according to a 1986 source.
