Matriculation @ The Republic

29th April 2003 marked Republic Polytechnic's first ever Matriculation Exercise. The Republic's first batch of full-fledged students were about to embark on an exciting journey of learning and growing with the new poly.

As students entered the library, where the Matriculation Exercise was held, staff briefed them of the financial procedures as well as administrative and IT details. The range of co-curricular activities was prominently displayed on panels and students wishing to indicate their interest could do that at separate counter. The traffic was smooth with the students leaving with goodie bags sponsored by various donors including OCBC Bank and Starhub.

Outside the library, a festive atmosphere was created by catchy music played at the concourse area. A mini bazaar organised by staff members from the various schools and departments added a dash of fun to the Matriculation exercise. Up for sale were products ranging from beach slippers and bikinis, to laptops and bank loans, to used CDs and handmade flowers.

After having experienced RP hospitality and warmth, students left with a smile, thanks to the efforts of all staff who helped to make our first batch of students feel at home.
