I hope everyone has had a great PPP so far. As the PPP is drawing to a close, we have organised an event for all of you.
Here are the details as follows:
Date: 1st April 2010
Time: Event will commence exactly after the Closing Ceremony
Cost: $8 for event + $12 for DPA T-shirt
For the main bulk of those who have paid, this does not concern you, but for those who have not paid yet, we would like to collect the money from you on the day itself.
I am sure everyone has many enquiries, and many people have already asked about the details. Thus, we have decided to reveal that the $8 paid will include a chalet.
This Chalet was meant to be a surprise for all of you, but due to the many questions received about the ending time, we feel it would be fair to reveal this chalet to you. We still guarantee that this event will be a blast!
Thus, you may leave at any time that you want to after the event, but dinner will be provided as well so you are encouraged to stay on for the chalet.
Lastly, if there are other enquiries, you may post them on the tagboard at the side and we will try to answer them at the earliest possible moment.
DPA Event 2010!

About me
What is Direct Polytechnic Admission?
1. The Direct Polytechnic Admissions (DPA) Exercise is an admission exercise which allows students who have the passion and
aptitude for applied learning to secure a place in a polytechnic course before you sit for your ‘O’ Level examinations.
2. It’s an avenue for students whose passion and talent in a specific field are not fully reflected in their examination results.
Why DPA?
It gives us greater flexibility to select you based on a wider range of your talents other than your examination results.
You get to enjoy special preparatory programmes which let you chalk up poly credits counting towards your graduation before your friends even enrol!
What our Pioneers say!
Cheryl:
“Initially, I wondered why my other secondary school friends were playing while I was studying and starting my poly life so soon. Over time, I have learnt many things from DPA.
My Cross Disciplinary Subjects: Japanese Language and Psychology of Creativity, are subjects that I don’t find in my secondary school. I also learnt to be a leader when we were camping together.
It's more than studies in Polytechnic Preparatory Programme (PPP). It's all about fun, learning, interaction and friendship. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Nur Fazleena:
“I personally feel that DPA is very enriching as we are given a broader view and better insights about the courses offered in the Business school. Also,we are lucky to be able to try out some CCAs.
PPP helps us to be more familiar with the TP environment and culture. We have the chance to bond with the seniors too. It feels great to be among the unique first batch of students.”
Zhi Yong:
“DPA - It’s an exercise we would never want to miss, a journey that leads to great friendships and unexpected valuable learning as well.”
Kenneth:
"DPA is one admission exercise different from any other Direct Entry Exercise. The friends you make here last forever.
Besides, DPA allows me to finish three CDS and collect nine credit units within the fun-filled eight-week PPP in TP."
Theresa:
"DPA gives an edge over the rest? Definitely! And it comes with whole lot of fun, learning and excitement.
The best part is I get to meet friends that I would never let go of."
