TPRAWKS 2013, day 3
Date: 2013
Content Type: Still Image
Description: A 3-day non residential camp for secondary school students, especially for those taking their O-level exams in 2013. It was held on 18 to 20 November 2013. The objective was to allow these students to experience TP's way of life. Students were divided into 6 different groups (poprawk, glamrawk, grungerawk, fusionrawk, britrawk, punkrawk) and were taken on a tour of the 6 different schools in TP. Lecturers were on hand to explain the types of diploma courses available, and under their expert guidance, students had a sneak peek into the courses that were of interest to them. One of the camp highlights was being entertained by celebrities, comprising Singapore's favourite contractor, Phua Chu Kang aka Gurmit Singh, and the cast of MediaCorp's Mata Mata (George Young, Paul Foster, Adam Chen and Nadiah M Din) and taking part in an impromptu chapteh session. For the first time, the mass selfie took place when TPTV hosts Jay and Guru prompted the entire audience together with the celebrities to whip out their phones and take pictures of themselves as a way to show the bond and friendship made during the 3-day camp. Other activities held over the 3 days included sing along sessions, mass dancing, quizzes and games, and water sports at the Bedok Reservoir. The grand finale was the "Jam and Hop" hosted by DJ Kzee and with live performance by the Goodfellas. Present at the grand finale was Mr Brendan Wong, TP's Director of Corporate Communications Dept.

Official re-opening of Temasek Polytechnic Library 2003
Date: 1995-2003
Content Type: Still Image
Description: Temasek Polytechnic officially moved to its new premises in 1995 with the Library occupying an 11-storey building. In March 2003, Library embarked on a major upgrading work lasting 7 months. The upgrading work involved floor levels 2 to 10 and was completed in October 2003. While the renovation was in progress, a temporary library entrance was created on Level 6 when the main entrance was hoarded up for major renovation on Level 2 and Level 3. The Exhibition Hall on level 2 no longer existed after renovation. Instead, Level 2 had a new PC cluster area, a Reserved Book Room (RBR) for its Red Spot collection and the New Arrivals display next to it as well as a sorting room for the RFID return & sorting bins. A brand new concept floor called the Lifestyle floor replaced the Business reference floor on Level 3 offering cable TVs, sound domes, the Podium, lifestyle books and newspapers and periodicals collections. The renovation also resulted in consolidation of service counters, re-grouping of resources and facilities for better access and navigation. Learning Resource Centre (LRC) had a brand new entrance and new shelves for its non-print collection on Level 4, while Level 5 became the Reference floor housing the reference collection, a research room and a bright orange coloured information counter. Levels 9 and 10 which previously housed the design collection and other facilities were re-designed to house the Seminar and Training Rooms (L9), and the Directorate Office, previously at Level 2 was relocated to Level 10. The end result of the renovation was a radically modified building facade with a new library entrance enhanced with new sliding doors to replace the existing swing doors to allow for better access and traffic flow into the Library. The Library was officially re-opened with a new facelift by guest-of-honour Mr Boo Kheng Hua, Principal & CEO on 22 October 2003.
