TP National Day Celebrations 2025
TP National Day Celebrations 2025
Singapore marks 60 years of independence (SG60) in 2025! It is a monumental milestone that honours our shared journey, unites the nation in collective pride, and inspires us to build an even brighter future together.
This August, we invite you to ignite your patriotic spirit and join us at TP’s very own National Day Celebrations (NDC) 2025! Inspired by this year’s NDP theme, “Majulah Singapura,” our celebrations will embody Singapore’s enduring legacy and a powerful call for progress – one that has rallied generations to rise with courage, stand tall with strength, and soar to greater heights with unanimous hope and purpose.
Alongside SG60, we are also celebrating TP’s 35th anniversary (TP35) this year! The excitement will be doubled with a diverse array of activities, passionately brought to life by our Schools, CCAs/Clubs and partners. Be entertained with a vibrant Racial Harmony Day Carnival, an interactive SAF60 Travelling Exhibition, an impressive military defence display by the 23SA, to immersive gamified missions by the RSAF – and many more!
TP’s NDC 2025 will culminate in our National Day Concert 2025: "Confirm Can One!", specially presented by the Temasek Arts Centre. Staged in a dynamic theatrical game show format for the first time, this electrifying concert celebrates both SG60 and TP35, promising a memorable journey for audiences through Singapore’s evolving history. Enjoy your favourite local themes and songs, soak up the nostalgic moments, and feel all the good vibes you simply cannot miss!
With endless fervour, boundless fun and unstoppable energy all round, come be part of the action at NDC 2025 and catch the vibrant campus spirit that makes TP truly special.
See you there!
