Message from Principal & CEO



Dear Graduates,

On behalf of everyone at Temasek Polytechnic (TP), I extend my heartiest congratulations to you on the successful completion of your studies.

Your graduation is a significant milestone, made even more special as we celebrate TP’s 35th anniversary. This year’s theme, “35 Years of Creating Tomorrow,” reflects our mission of preparing school-leavers and working adults for a future of dynamic change. Over the years, TP has remained committed to innovation, care, and excellence, and I am proud of how our community embodies this TP spirit.

“Creating Tomorrow” is more than just TP’s tagline—it represents our drive to reach new heights and move forward with purpose. During your time at TP, you have gained valuable skills, developed strong values, and built meaningful connections that will serve you well in the future economy. With the rise of innovative AI technologies and the growing focus on sustainability, you are equipped to make meaningful contributions to industries and communities alike.

As you embark on the next chapter of your journey, remember that you are part of a legacy that has been 35 years in the making. You stand on the shoulders of those who came before you, and now it is your turn to lead, create, and transform for the future.

Graduation 2025 will see about 5700 of you receiving your well-deserved diplomas and post-diploma qualifications. As you celebrate this achievement, take a moment to acknowledge those who supported you along the way—your family, teachers, mentors, and friends. They have been your biggest cheerleaders and will continue to take pride in your success as you move on to become tomorrow’s leaders and contributors.

At this significant milestone, I encourage you to also look back and give back. Beyond your achievements, you now have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others, whether by mentoring, volunteering, or donating to causes that matter to you. Visit the 'Giving' tab on the TP graduation microsite to explore meaningful ways to contribute through giving.sg. Every act of giving, big or small, helps to build a stronger, more caring society.

Giving back is just one way to stay connected with the TP family. With a network of over 100,000 graduates, the TP Alumni community offers opportunities for professional development and lifelong learning. Stay engaged and continue growing alongside fellow alumni. You will always remain a part of the TP family.
