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!

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.

Officers
Danny Lee (Captain)
He's seen as an easy-going, joyful and fun-to-be-with man. Yet, within him, one would be able to see the passion and heart he has for the youths out there. He never fails to speak wisdom into us. Married to Pastor Evelyn, Primers seen how his life changes and even get to know him more personally. Now came along his Princess, Ignez, Pastor Danny's love and care for her is seen in our eyes. Even so, Pastor Danny never lesser his time with us. A person who looks far and with GREAT faith.
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.
YAOHAN
He is always seen as the cheerful and caring brother to the family of Primers. Being the youngest in a family of five, it was a reversal of roles as he is the one now taking care of others instead of him being taken care of.
SHENG LONG
Sheng Long being one of the few pioneer members of SP.PRIMERS chose to continue serving in this family even after graduation. Always setting high standards for himself and his EXCO, he is a man who leads by example.
As a BB Boy in his secondary school days, he had knowledge of SP.PRIMERS even before he came to the polytechnic. However he was not considering it as a long term CCA as the club was deemed too dull and inactive to satisfy and fuel his passion to try new things.
HUISHAN
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.
BEN LEE
Ben is currently Computer Science undergraduate at NTU, he graduated from Temasek Polytechnic in 2004. Not someone who enjoys the hustle and bustle, he prefers to concentrate on the simpler and quieter things that are around. Laid back but yet pragmatic with an eye for details, he adds another slice of diversity to the personalities of the officers in SP.Primers.
