Student Life
Richmond Secondary houses a diverse list of school-run organizations and clubs. These range from service clubs such as the Student Council and the "Colts that Care" volunteer club, to competitive academic organizations like the Math Club and Reach for the Top Team, to social unions such as the Japanese Cultural Club, an environmental club such as the Green Team, and to charity clubs.
RHS's Student Council is responsible for organizing a large portion of school events. Recurring annual events include school dances, the basketball home opener pep rally, the "Colt Idol" singing contest, and various spirit days.
The Grad Committee, composed of grade 12 volunteers, organizes fundraisers and co-ordinates events such as Winter Formal and Grad Dinner & Dance.
The Colt Zone offers a variety of snack foods, such as chips, candy bars, samosas, and drinks. Funds raised by the Colt Zone are directly returned to the school to support initiatives such as Global Perspectives, Grad Committee, Dry Grad and certain clubs.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
