IT'S NEW YEAR!
It was an eventful year of 2010. Its time we say goodbye to 2010 and welcome 2011 with our warmest hug. We shall hold on to the good times that we had shared and make 2011 a better year for all. TP'DPA wishes you all the best in the coming year!
Just a few months back, we had welcomed the third batch of DPA students who had successfully made it into Temasek Polytechnic. The bond between all of us grew stronger. Now that our very first batch of DPA students are in their final year, we would like to take this opportunity to wish them luck in their final year projects for a good graduation.
In a few months time, we will be expecting the next batch of DPA students. I am sure all of us are excited.
TP'DPA Family welcomes you! We wish you luck in your results and hope that you would be able to join the family very soon (:
There will be more events coming up soon so remember to read your e-mails. In the meanwhile, enjoy your countdown to 2011 being watching fireworks, staying over, staying at home! Have a blast (:
Felix, representing the whole of TP DPA Main Comm wishing you a HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year.

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."
