Orientation and Transition

SPMS Freshmen Orientation Programme 2025

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.

 

Orientation buff still in play? Looking for one last rodeo before starting week one of your university life? Whether you’re looking to meet more people or just starting out, welcome to SPMS, your home away from home for the next four years. Join SPMS’s orientation: SuPreMeS, a one stop guide for you to transition into your new and exciting life at SPMS and NTU.
 
This orientation is for you to settle into your new environment, meet new friends, and have an excellent experience as you start your journey in the faculty. If you want to kick-start your university experience, SuPreMeS is the perfect way to dive right in. Your friendly GLs and seniors will be there to guide your every step. You will be assigned to one of four Houses, Solertia, Peritia, Meliora or Sagacitas, where you’ll have the opportunity to know your course, House Members and Mentors while exploring the campus and faculty.
 
Throughout the four days, via games and activities, you will learn what makes your House unique and make meaningful connections with fellow students. Come out of this orientation with new friends. Friends to grind assignments and tutorials with by day and team up with for game nights, sports and suppers by night. The friendships formed here will last a lifetime. Don’t go into uni with a 1v5 against your courses. Gather your friends. Make it a 5v5. Sign up for SuPreMeS today.

SuPreMeS - 4 to 7 Aug 2025

 SuPreMeS is SPMS's student-led orientation programme. Student leaders, also called OGLs (Orientation Group Leaders), will lead freshies in bonding activities on campus throughout this period. Bonds stay strong and usually last for your entire student life with NTU. All freshmen are encouraged to attend SuPreMeS to have the best student experience!

Freshmen who attend SuPreMeS will have to pay a registration fee of $25. This amount goes solely towards meals and T-shirts.

SPMS House System

All SPMS freshmen will be assigned to OGs, which belong to respective Houses.

Important note for all SPMS freshmen:

  • Freshmen who do not attend SuPreMeS do not have to 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 2025 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 SuPreMeS, to make sure that you are aware of what to do for orientation on 4 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.
