Polytechnic Visits for Graduating Students









In conjuction with the Education and Career Guidance Programme, our school has organised several visits to various polytechnics for the graduating classes from the 7th to 9th of January. The aim of these visits is to allow the graduating classes to have a closer look at the environment of various polytechnics and find out the courses offered there. By visiting the various polytechnics namely- Republic Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, as well as Singapore Polytechnic, the Secondary 4s and 5s get to experience and explore the life of studying in a polytechnic as well as helping them better plan their future.




The visit to Republic Polytechnic conducted on the 7th of January, was really beneficial to most students. Through the wide range of display and booths set up by both polytechnic students and staff members, EVGians were able to understand the many aspects of the courses offered by playing interactive games. Having spent almost 3 hours there, EVGians enjoyed themselves immensely while walking around and viewing the attractive displays.



The visit to Nanyang Polytechinic on the 8th of January was equally beneficial . The exhibitions put up there were very captivating. The EVGians who were present managed to learn much regarding the courses offered there, like Biomedical Sciences and Engineering.

Through these educational visits, EVGians did indeed gain a lot of useful information about the various polytechnics, making it easier for them to choose their future educational institutions. The students definitely look forward to more of such visits in the near future.
