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?

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
