Logo Launch

 
 
Republic Polytechnic’s corporate logo was officially launched on 9 Dec 02 at our Tanglin Campus. Our VIPs included Guest-of-Honour Mr Lee Hsien Yang (Chairman, Board of Governors), members of the Board of Governors, an MOE official, as well as our Prize Winners. Members of the press were also present.
Following the arrival of our Chairman at 11.25 am, Prof Low our P/CEO gave a short introduction, highlighting the significance of our logo. He emphasized the logo as a very important emblem or icon of what the institution stands for, to be worn with pride by our students as a badge of honour. The logo was also a rallying point which would give our students a strong sense of identity. He also highlighted the point that the logo reflects the fact that we are both a serious institution of learning as well as a fun learning place.

This was followed by a very exciting countdown by all present during which our Chairman and Prof Low jointly pricked the balloons concealing our logo to reveal it. Our Chairman was then invited to say a few words. In his short speech, he shared his vision for Republic Polytechnic to be both creative and nurturing, and invited staff to work together to achieve this vision.

Prizes were then presented by our Chairman to our Prize Winners, which was followed by a group photography session. A sumptious Christmas-cum-Hari Raya buffet lunch provided a fitting end to the happy occasion.
