Campus

edit

In July 2010, a 9.54-hectare mega-campus was opened, operating four schools - the School of Business and Services, School of Hospitality, School of Engineering and School of Info-Comm Technology. [1]

The campus, which was built by Gammon Construction under a PPP contract,[2] was officially opened on 18 April 2011 by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.[3]

Activities

edit

Students can participate in many co-curricular activities (CCA) organised by Clubs, Committees, and community service societies. Actively contributing in the CCA can help to attain a 'CCA bonus point' of 0.2, 0.15, 0.1 and 0.05 respectively, where it can help ITE graduates who are progressing to ITE Higher Nitec or Polytechnic diploma courses.[4]
