Hear from our industry partners
“It is truly remarkable to reflect on the long-standing and fruitful relationship between No Average Joe and Republic Polytechnic STA over the past 14 years from hosting interns in their final year to evolving into industry partners and collaborating on final year projects. The journey has been truly enriching, witnessing the growth in many students and exponential improvement in the quality of their work year after year is inspiring. And employing five out of the 11 STA game design interns from Republic Poly speaks volumes about the aptitude and ability of their students. We look forward to the continuation of this fruitful partnership for many more years to come.”
Mr Joe Peter
Founder and Managing Director
No Average Joe
“The Ebenex Group engaged three of RP's final year project (FYP) teams and had them deploy across two major events, the first one was MESRA which is part of Singapore Press Holdings Child Aid 2023 and the second one was a New Year's Eve event at Clarke Quay with CapitaLand. The students had a chance to come up with the entire technical sheet and do the pre-show preparations checks, deployment, execution, and post event recovery. The feedback from the clients and the audience was fantastic. I am very thankful to RP for giving the Ebenex Group the opportunity over the past 11 years to work with Diploma in Sonic Arts students. It was a great experience, and I am very proud of these FYP students.”

Bringing Stories to Life: An Inclusive, Sensory-Friendly Production

Thoughtfully designed with soft lighting, calming soundscapes, and interactive sensory elements, the performance creates an inclusive and welcoming experience for all.
As a student in the Diploma in Arts & Entertainment Production Management, you’ll learn how to design costumes, coordinate productions, and create experiences that engage every audience member.

From Theatre to Music — Benjamin Kheng’s RP Journey
Benjamin Kheng’s career as a successful singer-songwriter started at RP’s School of Technology for the Arts (STA). As a graduate of the Diploma in Arts & Theatre Management, Ben learned the importance of problem-solving and adaptability. “In the real world, you constantly face challenges — from album logistics to funding. RP’s problem-based learning prepared me for that.”
Ben joined RP through the Integrated Programme from Singapore Sports School, hoping to become a director and writer. He credits the course for teaching him how to handle every part of a production, from lighting to costumes.
