Description: A two-day, one night football mania camp was organised on 30 June to 1 July 2006 by Temasek Polytechnic Outreach Centre and Student & Alumni Affairs Department. Besides taking part in a 7-a-side soccer tournament, the 200 students from 11 secondary schools were treated to soccer clinic sessions as well as a live screening of the World Cup quarter final matches between Germany and Argentina, Italy and Ukraine. The boys from Queensway Secondary School were the champions of the tournament while Shu Qun Secondary and Bowen Secondary settled for second and third place respectively. Ms Collette Wong from ESPN's Sports Centre presented the prizes to the winners. In the evening, more than 1000 staff and students congregated at the Temasek Convention Centre (TCC) to watch performances by various arts groups from the Temasek Arts Centre such as the fast pace performance by TPs Salvo Drums while Bass Fish, one of TP's very own bands from Music Vox performed a total of 5 songs. The highlight of the evening was catching the two scheduled World Cup matches on the projection screen of the TCC.
