Last night, as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong brought his to a close, there was a familiar face and a story very close to our hearts- 💚Sheila Khoo.

Her journey was never a straightforward one. Bullied in school, Sheila dropped out of secondary school twice and polytechnic once. For years, even everyday social interactions felt daunting. But she kept finding her way forward.

An interest in Japanese led to translation work. Small successes rebuilt her confidence. And three years ago, Sheila decided to give education another chance- this time with us at RP.

What followed was quite remarkable. Sheila found friends. She found lecturers who believed in her. She pushed herself beyond what she thought she was capable of, and began helping others along the way.

In many ways, her journey reflects what Becoming is about- not becoming someone else, but discovering more of what we are capable of, with the support of people who believe in us.

This May, Sheila graduated with a perfect GPA as valedictorian of Republic Polytechnic School of Infocomm - RP SOI. Soon, she will begin another chapter at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, studying Computer Science (College of Computing and Data Science) on a full scholarship.

So when PM Wong chose Sheila's story as one of those to close his Rally, we could not have been prouder. He spoke of the Singapore spirit as “the belief that where we start need not determine how far we can go.” Sheila's journey embodies that beautifully.

But perhaps what moves us most is something Sheila once told us herself: she hopes to return to RP one day as a lecturer, so that she can pass on the same care and encouragement she received here.

That, to us, is 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗠𝗲, 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿- growing into more of who we can be, and then helping others do the same.

Sheila, thank you for reminding all of us what is possible when we keep going- and when there are people willing to walk alongside us.

We are incredibly proud to have been part of your journey. 💚

🎓✨ Once an RP student. Always part of the . Over 5 incredible days, across 7 schools, over 4,700 graduands walked across the stage at The Republic Cultural Centre to receive their diplomas- hearts full, families cheering, futures wide open.

And making those moments even more unforgettable? Our very own talents, who came back- not as students this time, but as performers who filled the theatre with music, energy, and soul. 🎶

Shoutout to Claire Javier Doblado, Bakti Khair and The Mad Trio, led by powerhouse singer Khim Ng 🎤- you didn't just perform, you showed up for your juniors in the most beautiful way possible.

You reminded every single graduand in that hall that RP isn't just a place you pass through. It's a place that stays with you- and one you can always give back to. 💙 That's what looks like in real life.

Thank you for bringing the magic to our Class of 2026. We can't wait to see you come back and inspire the next batch. 🙌
