Why Service-Learning?

Service-Learning is an integral part of our curriculum that offers a holistic education that extends beyond academics, fostering social responsibility and creating positive change within our communities.

You will build friendships across generations and create projects that improve the lives of seniors at places such as Ren Ci Nursing Home, CareElderly, and active ageing centres.

Additionally, explore unique service-learning opportunities tailored to serve identified social communities through bike maintenance workshops, sustainable farming, and health and wellness programmes at Pulau Ubin.

Hear What They Say

It is heartening to witness PFP@RP students putting a lot of care into the design of their engagement sessions while keeping our seniors' needs in mind. They make great efforts to engage empathetically with our seniors and are earnest in bringing joy to our nursing home. Our seniors enjoy their companionship and always look forward to the next engagement session with RP students.

The activities planned by the PFP@RP students were well-received by the residents, unlocking their child-like spirit and zeal!

Methodist Welfare Services

Sree Narayana Mission (Singapore) has been collaborating with Polytechnic Foundation Programme students at Republic Polytechnic for the past seven years. Through this collaboration, students have made a difference in the quality of life of residents.

— Ms Noor Syazwani Binte Mohamad
Sree Narayana Mission

The drive and enthusiasm of the students and the teacher in charge were evident, and the seniors in the community appreciated it. The students tried their best to communicate with the residents, even when there were dialect language barriers between them.

— Community partners

Seeing smiles on their faces makes us feel that what we did was worthwhile. It also brings us happiness to see that they are not alone but have friends to talk with. Interacting with the elderly has allowed us to improve our communication skills and enabled us to learn things outside the classroom in a different environment.
