SPMS Freshmen Orientation Programme 2023

The SPMS Freshmen Orientation Programme is jointly organised by the SPMS office and the SPMS Club orientation committee.

It refers to the entire week of orientation-related activities such as welcome talks, briefings, collection of matriculation card, as well as student-led bonding activities.

Bonds stay strong and usually last for your entire student life with NTU. All freshmen are encouraged to attend Arcanum to have the best student experience!

Freshmen who attend Arcanum will have to pay a registration fee of $10. This amount goes solely towards meals and T-shirts.

House System

Check out which House you belong to! All SPMS freshmen will be assigned to OGs, which belong to respective Houses.

Important note for all SPMS freshmen:

• Freshmen who do not attend Arcanum do not have make any payment, but will still be assigned to Orientation Groups for ease of transiting towards the House System and for meeting of House Mentors.
• Meeting of House Mentors on 7 Aug 2023 will be by orientation groups (OGs) so do make sure you are aware which OG or House you are in!
• Student leaders (OGLs) or House Captains will attempt to contact all SPMS freshmen, especially those who did not sign up for Arcanum, to make sure that you are aware of what to do for orientation on 7 Aug, as well as when you start school. So do check your emails.
• When Teaching Week 1 starts, House Captains and/or House Reps will do a welfare check on all freshmen in their respective houses. Please do respond and let the School know if you need any help in transition and adjustment.
