HEAR FROM OUR GRADUATES Keefe Lau At RP, the lessons outside the classrooms are ideal for an experiential learner like me as I could hone my skills in critical thinking and communication throughout my learning journey at RP. The Diploma in Health Services Management exposed me to the challenges of an ageing population and prepared me to deliver healthcare to our people. This cemented my resolve to joining the public service, so as to contribute to the best that I can. Diploma in Health Services Management 2019 Graduate and Valedictorian Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Scholarship Board of Governors’ Award for the Most Outstanding, Graduate of the Year Ngee Ann Kongsi Award for the Most Distinguished, Graduate of the Year Frontier Health Care Group Medal Award Among the slew of awards Keefe has received was the prestigious SAF Scholarship, making him the first poly graduate to win it. Keefe shares, “While academic achievement is important, what matters more are the right values and the willingness to serve what is greater than us.” It is heartening to hear such words of wisdom from a youth out to transform the world, and it looks like he’s on his way there. Jessalyn Soh Wan Rong My education in Health Services Management paved my way in the nursing industry. I have picked up good communication skills and useful knowledge on the various medical packages available to patients. These benefitted me greatly when I worked as a Patient Service Associate in the hospital during my internship. Diploma in Healthcare Administration (now known as Diploma in Health Services Management) 2019 Graduate Healthcare Scholarship by the Ministry of Health Holdings in 2019 Jessalyn is highly enthusiastic and passionate about healthcare. She draws inspiration from her mother, who is 05 a registered nurse. Jessalyn is part of the Lion Befrienders and visits old folks’ homes to care for the elderly. In 2018, she received the REPUBLIC Award that celebrated her display of character and compassion for marginalised groups in our community. With her passion, skills and knowledge, she is primed to be a great asset to the healthcare industry.

Ho Yern Yee RP’s Problem-based Learning approach is ideal for an experiential learner like me! I was able to understand concepts and theories better because the lecturers in RP are markedly different from all the teachers I have had to date. They build great rapport with students and take genuine interest in our lives. I’ve received valuable guidance from them for my life decisions. Diploma in Outdoor & Adventure Learning 2019 Graduate REPUBLIC Award 2018 Yern Yee’s lecturers uncovered her natural leadership instincts when she led an outdoor adventure programme for students from the Association for Persons with Special Needs and rallied her classmates around the project. Her ability was again recognised in a glowing commendation from her Outward Bound Vietnam supervisor following a 20-week internship there. Indeed, Yern Yee’s high standard of performance demonstrates how, at RP, one can be so much more. Khwang Li Yi The problem-based lessons were very flexible, allowing me to study at a comfortable pace. This suits my learning style, which is more kinesthetic and self-directed. The open book examinations, field-based lessons and daily projects motivated me to study harder and I found the workload manageable. Most importantly, my interest was sustained as we could apply classroom concepts to real-world situations. Diploma in Sport Coaching 2019 Graduate REPUBLIC Award 2018 Tharman Shanmugaratnam Book Prize Director’s Roll of Honour in AY2016, AY2017 and AY2018 Diploma Prize in AY2016, AY2017 and AY2018 With a GPA of 3.94, Li Yi is an inspiring role model to her peers. An avid athlete, Li Yi excelled in the sporting arena having participated in the 2016 National Wushu and Sanda Championship. Li Yi also represented RP in table-tennis, volunteers at Singapore Sailing Federation events, and acts as track-and-field coach for preschoolers at a local athletic club. 06

Ian Lau My frequent sports injuries as a young footballer sparked my interest in understanding the science behind sports-specific body movements. I knew the pain and the loneliness of suffering an injury, and wanted to equip myself to help prolong the longevity of other athletes in their sport. The Diploma in Sport & Exercise Science has put me on track. Diploma in Sport & Exercise Science 2019 Graduate and Valedictorian Module Prize in Biomechanics United BMEC Gold Medal Award Ian delivered his Valedictorian speech with vigour and passion, though quietly battling a lung infection. His resilience is his trademark. Ian had his career with the Football Association of Singapore’s Under 13 to 16s shortened when he suffered ligament injuries. During his O-Level year, he had knee reconstruction surgery performed. Despite these challenges, Ian persevered and excelled. Ian’s father notes he has not done this alone, appreciating the mentorship of his lecturers at RP. Mohammad Jaris Goh Bin Ali Akbar Goh Studying in RP was like being with family — my lecturers journeyed closely with me, offering care and guidance in my personal matters and making sure I was emotionally and mentally healthy, especially nearing my competitions. RP’s Problem- based Learning approach also taught me a great deal about teamwork and synergising our strengths! Diploma in Sports & Leisure Management (Now merged and known as Diploma in Business, offered by RP School of Management and Communication) 2019 Graduate The Straits Times Athlete of the Year 2019 Moo Soon Chong Outstanding Student-Athlete Singapore Bowling Federation Bowler of the Year 2019 As a national bowler, Jaris is keenly aware of how discipline and teamwork can transform your game. After deferring his education to train for the 2015 SEA Games, Jaris applied these same principles to his studies when he later joined RP. True to form, he was prompt with his assignments and helped his peers along too. Juggling an intense schedule and aided by his mentor and programme coordinator, Jaris has come a long way to achieve both academic and sporting successes. 07
