Ms Emily Mr Sam Hello GEM students, To those who are graduating, congrats on your hard work! You have completed a milestone in life and best wishes to your next exciting life phase. To current students, I encourage you to press on! And seek out opportunities to learn and grow in GEM. :) “the days are long but the years are short” - Gretchen Rubin Dear GEMs, Yes, that is a parenting quote, one that has helped me through challenging moments of motherhood, and one that I hope encourages you when the going gets tough. Your time in TP will be over before you know it. Of course, there will be bad days that seem to never end, and challenges that seem insurmountable. Yet, in 2 blinks, you would have graduated and started on a new chapter in life. You will face ups and downs, wins and setbacks, and my hope for you is that you will bask in the moments of joy and success, and dig deep in moments of despair. For each of you are made for a purpose. Use your time in TP to discover that, focus on that, so that one day, you may shine your unique light for others. We at GEM will always be proud of you. Sincerely, Ms Em
Ms Bavani Ms Dee Hi Gemmies, It seems like I just joined yesterday but it's been over 9 months. Every day in GEM has been a new learning journey for me. I feel blessed to (hopefully) leave a sparkle in you. Thank you for your warmth and kindness in accepting someone new. Let's work together to bring U to greater heights. Looking forward to a rocking AY 23/24. Hey GEMMIEs! I feel so privileged to be part of GEM! Not only do I consider you guys (students) an absolute GEM! but I am also so lucky to be working in an understanding and nurturing environment. While growing up, I lived by this quote “Bella La Vita” ~ “Beautiful Life”. I know sometimes it seems like life just isn’t going our way. When this happens, take a step back and remind yourself of all the beautiful and positive things you have! I promise you, it would definitely help!
Dr Chee Ms Geetika Dear Fellow GEMs, Remember, each and every one of you is a GEM – is unique and has something special to offer. Embrace the journey and beyond with an open mind, curiosity, and a positive attitude. It’s part of your adventure in your way to pursuing your dreams. We cannot wait to see the amazing things that you will accomplish. Cheers, Devin Chee Hey Gemmies, Great work past year! Best of luck for the upcoming year , always remember: Love challenges, Be intrigued by mistakes, Enjoy effort and Keep on learning :)
Mr Alvin Hi my name is Alvin Chen. Being a social worker in the healthcare and community care setting for the past 15 years, it is my privilege this year to be able to work with all our students in Temasek Polytechnic. I look forward to learning from each of you and sharing new ideas together in 'creating tomorrow' ! I'm Benjamin, a social worker with gerontology background. I have been working in the social service sector for the past 15 years. Social service sector is dynamic and ever-changing. Every day can be a learning experience. I look forward to working with you to discover the field of gerontology together. Mr Benjamin
Ms Nurul Mr Bennie GEMmies! A big THANK YOU for your interest and dedication in learning Gerontology for the past/upcoming years. I hope all of you continue to shine brightly and to spark joy to the generation to come with your zest, dedication and curiosity. Hey grads (especially my dear care group) you did it! You made it through one of the craziest times in modern history, and you should be so proud of yourselves. Seriously, give yourselves a pat on the back. You showed incredible resilience and adaptability in the face of a global pandemic, and that's no small feat. You navigated HBL, SMM and all kinds of challenges with grace and determination. You're like superheroes, except your power is adaptability. Now that you're moving on to the next phase of your lives, don't forget how badass you are. You've developed some serious skills during this time, and those skills are going to serve you well in the future. Whether you're heading off to uni, starting a new job, or just taking some time to figure out your next move, trust that you've got this. So congrats again on your upcoming graduation! Mad proud of you, and can't wait to see what y'all will do next. Go out there and take on the world!
