Temasek Polytechnic Staff Association

It seems that Temasek Polytechnic is not a family just for its students; it's a close-knit family for its staff too! Founded in 1991, the Temasek Polytechnic Staff Association has been endlessly promoting the interests and welfare of its members as well as fostering friendship and goodwill. As of April 2010, more than 75% of TP's full-time staff are of Ordinary Members of the TPSA.

The TPSA provides opportunities for its members to let their hair down every once in a while with planned events like a fishing trip 

a sports-themed Dinner and Dance

and a more recent trip to Johor Bahru for Chinese New Year shopping!

During the trip, TPSA members visited places such as popular shopping mall AEON and bought traditional Chinese New Year cookies and other goodies at Yi Xiang and Yong Sheng Confectionery, a well-known shop in Taman Sentosa.

The icing on the cake was the dinner at a local restaurant that night.

Although working in TP isn't all fun and games all the time, there are moments when one needs to be reminded why it's worth it, and the TPSA does just that. In fact, the TPSA shows the staff that they're not just working in TP, but are part of a huge family instead.
