Youth today, Leaders tommorrow

The guy who can speak off sync!


Nice balls!


Different videos all speaking the same thing. When we think differently, and see things in a way others do not see (a person speaking as though he was from an off sync video or a group of guys using the ping pong ball as the focus of a video) we become leaders of our generation.

I guess it is pushing it a little to say that we can become leaders of our generation if we just see and do things differently. But then again we might never be sure who our next Prime Minister is or even on a smaller scale the next President of SP.Primers.

But this is what SP.Primers have to offer, giving the youths of today the opportunity to become leaders of tomorrow. Many of the people must be asking this question, so what is SP.Primers all about. There are adventure elements in our club, there is a strong sense of community service spirit in us and even the events just for us to relax and chill out very rojak feeling, like all in one!

So who are we? well as YOUcampaign tries to put it, we are very interested in YOU. Building you up to be a leader, a person that chooses to go the path less taken, to discover your talents and push you to become the person that you were meant to be. We focus much on understanding ourselves as individuals and also how we work as a team.

Sounds like boring? WRONG, the fun we have exceeds much more than you will expect from a club that focuses on LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT! More importantly in this journey with us as a club, we are a family of fun-loving people who are concerned about every individual!

Give us at least one year of your time in SP, we will have fun together and that you will grow with us! So to know more about us, you'll have to experience it yourself!

Ohana! official publication of SP.Primers

ABOUT
Ohana! is a publication of SP.Primers. It means family in an extended sense of the term including blood-related, adoptive or intentional. It emphasizes that family and friends are bound together and members must cooperate and remember one another.

With this, it is our hope that it provides a medium of remembering one another and the journey (be it good or bad) we went through together as a family. As it is said, ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

HISTORY
The idea was birthed in year 2006 with the agenda of promoting upcoming events and increasing sign up rates. A humble brochure was all we could come up with but it has now evolved into a booklet filled with colors, pictures and interesting stories close to our hearts.

KENNY (Officer Commanding)
Kenny, as a graduate from Ngee Ann Poly, choose to come to Singapore Poly to invest his life in the youths. Always seen as a cheeky, funny and entertaining man, Kenny is a man with knowledge and great advice. A man with a serving heart.

He started out his journey in The Boys’ Brigade as a 3rd year student helping to kick start a new Primers company in Ngee Ann Poly. The journey undertaken by the team was arduous and many lessons were learnt in the grueling 6 months that went past. And so from a non-existent club it drew an initial 100 freshies to it through the welcome party, which subsequently ran many big events like SGB@NP.

Huishan is a faithful young lady who never fails to show enthusiasm in meeting people. Care and concern never seems to depart from her. She is always seen getting people involved and making a constant effort to help everybody blend in.

Huishan was introduced to Primers by her seniors even before she was in SP. Back then, she was not really considering Primers as a CCA but the friendliness of the people in the club brought her from one event to another. She joined the team for a humanitarian trip to Sri Lanka, in the Tamil Tiger Region to help in the Tsunami. Through it, she built a closer and stronger relationship with her fellow Primers.
