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.

—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The life of a good man is a continual warfare with his passions.”
