The aims of the Singapore Polytechnic's orientation are to:

2. | Forge a more coherent relationship between seniors and freshmen. |
3. | Afford maximum exposure to social realities to achieve social awareness amond students. |
The programmes include sing-along sessions, film shows, group discussions, talks, a work-camp, exhibitions and outdoor activities. The official said the union would not organise an orientation ball this year 'to save money and trouble'.
