The much anticipated event was finally here, the Republic Polytechnic Awards
Presentation Ceremony 2005, a day where students’ achievements and talents were
recognized. The Student Ambassadors were called upon to assist in this
meaningful event. This event was held at the ultramodern NTUC Auditorium, on
Saturday, 28 May 2005. The event was graced by our Guest-of-Honor, Mr. Heng Chee
How; Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Mayor, Central Singapore
District. We had our Student Ambassadors helping at the reception, giving out
goodie bags, and ushering the parents and students into the auditorium and
getting them seated.
To kickoff the ceremony, we had a welcome address by RP’s
Principal and CEO, Professor Low Teck Seng and following that the address by our
Guest of Honor, Mayor Heng. Both Professor Low and Mayor Heng exhorted award
recipients and students present to combine talent with diligence to excel and
also to use our multiple talents to give back to the community.
Next was the presentation of the awards, and for this year, there were three
award categories, namely, Co-Curricular Activities Awards, Scholarship and
Bursary Awards and Academic Awards. After presenting the last award to the Team
of the Year, the Biking IG, we had a closing speech from Teoh Qi Wei, the
second-most top student of DIT. It’s indeed amazing to know that we have solved
over 300 problems (and counting…) over the course of our study at RP using the
Problem-based Learning approach.
As the event came to an end, we had our Student Ambassadors usher the Guest
of Honor and VIPs to the tea reception, followed by the rest of the
congregation. Our Student Ambassadors mingled around with the VIPs sharing with
them more about life at RP and also congratulating fellow school mates on their
awards.
Congratulations to all award recipients or should I say Winners!!!
