RQA is committed to transparency and responsible use of funds. Contributions from the gala will be specifically allocated toward STEM development, including labs, equipment, and programs outlined in our plan.

RQA is committed to building a strong and sustainable foundation, and areas such as faculty development, infrastructure, and financial stability are all important priorities that we continue to work on as the school grows.

At the same time, initiatives like STEM allow us to create meaningful impact for our current students right away—giving them exposure, skills, and confidence that are essential for their future.

Some larger developments naturally take time, and we do not want our current students to miss out on valuable opportunities while we continue strengthening the school.

Our approach is to move forward in a balanced way—supporting our current students today while building a stronger foundation for the future generation.
