 The Christieara Programme 

The Christieara Programme (TCP) is a comprehensive three-year talent development programme established by NP since 2002. It is specially designed to stretch the potential of participating students and enhance their career preparation and academic progression beyond NP.  For selected participants, TCP can be worth as much as $20,000. 

One in every three freshmen who join NP will be placed in this programme where he or she will be exposed to new ways of looking at the world, and be challenged to think differently through activities within and beyond the classroom. 


In TCP, students can expect surprises in the exciting journey of self discovery and holistic development. Here are some highlights of the holistic programme:

Empowerment Camp 

An induction programme that enables students to discover and challenge themselves to achieve excellence in personal, social and leadership skills.

Adventure Learning

Activities such as Outward Bound courses and expeditions  to places like Mount Kinabalu offer plenty of opportunities to strengthen students' character, discipline and resilience.

Workshops

A series of workshops that aims to sharpen their thinking skills, deepen their knowledge on current affairs and expand their intellectual horizons.

Dialogues

Discussions and chat sessions with political leaders, senior government officials and private sector head honchos offer valuable insights into policy-making, global affairs and industry developments.  Students are encouraged to think deeply on the issues, to frame their own views and to articulate their opinions clearly and convincingly.

Overseas Service Learning

Through overseas service learning trips, students not only develop greater empathy for the underprivileged but also become more aware of cross-cultural issues.

Overseas Merit Fellowship-California/UK/Australia Challenge


A unique feature of TCP is the Overseas Merit Fellowship. It consists of the California, UK or Australia Challenge, where select groups of students are sent on an all-expense-paid three-week liberal arts or environmental studies programme to the United States, United Kingdom or Australia respectively.  NP continues to explore more of such programmes with other overseas institutions.
