"I was worried about pursuing a design course, but I realised that following my passion was the most important thing."

For Hannah, choosing the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) meant taking a chance on something she truly loved. After speaking with lecturers and seniors at SP's Open House, she knew that Diploma in Interior Design was the right path for her.

Since joining SP, she's stepped out of her comfort zone, grown more confident, made meaningful friendships, represented SP at events, and even travelled to Melaka on an Overseas Study Trip ✈️✨

Thinking of applying through EAE but feeling unsure? Hannah's advice is simple: "Just go for it! It is always better to try and fail than regret not trying at all."

From AI-powered tools like Elfie, a Telegram chatbot supporting students with special educational needs (SEN), to initiatives like Support Sprout, an all-in-one webpage for IHL students, and Caregivers’ Day, offering eye screenings and health talks for residents with special needs. Our SP fam are making a tangible difference. 🙌

EAE brought her to SP and it has been the best decision of her life thus far! 🤩

Natalie didn't know what she wanted to study right after graduating Secondary school. But after hearing her friend rave about SP's Media, Arts and Design (MAD) school, she decided to take the leap of faith and has never regretted her decision! ☺️

Learning wasn't just theoretical. She was also exposed to many different opportunities, from overseas trips to camps, and even crafting of programmes. Through such experiences she discovered where her strengths lie. 🗒

Chun Wai's curiosity about how things work started way before SP. From being exposed to chemical plants during his time in ITE College East to wondering “how are all these products even made?”. That curiosity eventually led him to SP’s Diploma in Chemical Engineering (now known as Diploma in Chemical & Biological Engineering (DCBE)) through the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE). ⚗️✨

From touring chemical plants during his time at ITE College East to exploring modules like Chemical Product Design and even learning 3D modelling & printing, his SP journey turned curiosity into something bigger ✨

Congratulations to our School of Computing (SoC) alumnus, Raymond, on being conferred the Future Leaders in Tech Award 2026 by the Singapore Computer Society (SCS)! 🏆

Conferred to only one youth each year, this award recognises emerging tech leaders whose work creates meaningful impact for the industry and community.

Did you know that SP students were involved in the Istana Open House? 🤩

SP students were proud to support the event through scavenger hunt activities, cultural performances, and on-ground operations throughout the day!

Our Diploma in Integrated Events & Project Management (DEPM) students played a key role in managing activity stations, guiding visitors, and ensuring smooth event operations for members of the public 👏

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere were wonderful performances by our student groups, including the SP Malay Language Society (Dikir Barat), Malay Cultural Dance Group, and Indian Cultural Society 💃🏽🕺🏻🎶

A special highlight was seeing our SP Malay Language Society perform for President Tharman Shanmugaratnam 🇸🇬

Proud to see our students representing SP and contributing meaningfully to such a special national event ❤️
