Bright Future Ahead



Diyan Ashkin Binte Abd Razak
Alumna, Diploma in Electronics, Computer & Communications Engineering
School of Engineering

Although Diyan is the only lady in her department, she is fully capable of holding her own. Looking back, she told us, NYP equipped her with many skills, including soft skills like communications and leadership; which are applicable to her field of work. This gave her a good head start. She also had a great lecturer who provided her with constant advice and even went the extra mile to clarify her questions and doubts. She shared that being an E&E-NYP Scholarship recipient opened doors for her too � during her internship at Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd (E&E), the region�s Audio Visual (AV) integrator, she was involved in a big project at The Star Performing Arts Centre. Her responsibilities included doing video calibration and ensuring good quality sound and video transmission. She proudly recalls, �We managed to complete the entire project under the guidance of our supervisors from E&E!�

Her dedication during her internship paid off and Diyan was immediately offered a job with E&E upon graduation. �I feel honoured to be able to secure a job with a reputable company liked E&E.� Recalling one of her key takeaways from NYP, she said there is a quote from her tutor, which she will never forget � �if you fail to plan, you plan to fail�. Till date, �I still repeat that to myself every day, for any kind of project that I�m assigned to.�

Diyan found her career through her internship adventure; it�s time to carve out your own. Be innovative and enterprising, choose your own adventure at NYP Open House from 8 to 10 Jan 2015!

Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) applications take place this month. If, for some reason, you are not confident about getting into your dream poly course with your O-Levels or Nitec results, this is going to be your best bet to secure that spot in the poly course you really want. You see, the EAE is not about academic results but rather interviewers  look for people who have the interest and aptitude for these courses! Polys can admit up to 15.0% of their total intake via EAE, and the best thing is, you only need to meet the minimum entry requirements (MER). Yass! Want to ace your EAE application? Take note of these points. 1) 600-Character write-up (Aptitude and Interest) The 600-Character write-up includes spacing and punctuation, so keep your piece short and sweet.

So you want to be sure to express your interest in the field

Hidden Gems at NYP

NYP celebrated its 25 th anniversary in 2017. So, we decided to scout for things that not many people know about.   To get this list, it was weeks of research and speaking to NYPians before whittling down to the best. Enjoy! 1.    Outdoor Amphitheatre Think of performance venues at NYP, and the auditorium or the Theatre for the Arts usually comes to mind.  But we have another outdoor performance venue: tucked away near the sports stadium, is an often overlooked amphitheatre. This 500-seater has mainly hosted CCA meetings, school-related activities and musical events. It�s got a dramatic dome that makes it perfect for drama performances, or for students of ancient Greek philosophy in togas. We�re kidding about the togas. 2.    Beach Volleyball Sand Pit There is no need to travel to Sentosa for a game of beach volleyball! There are dedicated sand pits at our own sports stadium. Head to the stadium, and they�re on the right side of the track, visible from the road. 3.    Secret Garden W
