As more of our work lives move online — with meetings held over screens and conversations taking place in chat groups — a CSC membership has become more relevant than ever. Beyond offering facilities and amenities for members to enjoy leisure pursuits, CSC provides what many of us crave today: opportunities for authentic, in-person interactions. It’s a space where conversations unfold naturally and the bonds that sustain good teamwork are built the old-fashioned way — face to face.

Shared by purpose, united in identity

At its core, CSC is more than a club — it’s a meeting point for those who serve. Members share a common bond through the One Public Service identity, a collective spirit that values collaboration, camaraderie and care for community. Whether you’re a young officer just starting out or a seasoned professional, that shared understanding creates an instant sense of connection.

This common identity encourages friendships and teamwork to grow beyond the workplace. It’s not unusual to see officers from different agencies swapping stories over a badminton match, cheering one another on at the STAR Games, or supporting family-friendly events that bring colleagues together outside office walls. In many ways, CSC is a living expression of One Public Service — where people from different sectors meet not as representatives of their agencies, but as friends, peers and kindred spirits.

Where connections come to life

CSC’s clubhouses provide the perfect backdrop for these relationships to flourish. Across its three locations — Tessensohn, Bukit Batok and Changi — members can find spaces that make collaboration and recreation feel effortless. Bowling alleys become informal boardrooms where ideas are exchanged between strikes, while pools, BBQ pits and sports courts host casual chats that spark future projects or partnerships.

The clubhouses also cater to moments of celebration and renewal. Departments often mark milestones at the Treehouse BBQ pavilion at CSC @ Bukit Batok, host seminars in the auditorium at CSC @ Tessensohn, or brainstorm by the sea in a chalet at CSC @ Changi. Beyond their practical function, these spaces provide the comfort and familiarity that make people open up — places where colleagues can relax, recharge and reconnect.

And when work winds down, members gather over good food. From izakaya-style bites at Thirsty Neko, to Dad’s Corner Restaurant’s halal-certified shellout feast, to the laid-back burgers and sea breeze at Ohana Beach House, CSC’s dining options add a social rhythm to the day. 

Through its wide range of facilities and activities, CSC gives Public Officers a common ground to connect, unwind and strengthen the bonds that define One Public Service — all within an environment that feels familiar, friendly and inclusive.

Why club membership endures in a digital world

As a club, CSC embraces technology as part of the modern member experience. With a virtual membership card and an online portal for easy facility bookings, convenience is always within reach. But at its heart, CSC remains about people — and the joy of real presence.

Science has long confirmed what we already know: good company and shared experiences are the best stress relievers. Whether you’re singing your heart out at the 8 Degree KTV Lounge at CSC @ Bukit Batok, training for the next STAR Games tournament, or simply catching up over coffee after a morning swim, these moments of camaraderie create memories that no online chat or video post can replace.

Every visit to a clubhouse is a reminder that teamwork, laughter and shared purpose are best experienced in person. That’s the lasting value of CSC membership — a community built not on clicks or screens, but on people who come together — again and again — to connect, recharge and grow.

Overheard at the clubhouse: dialogues that could only happen at csc

From the start of new friendships to the joy of familiar catch-ups, these real conversations capture the warmth and camaraderie that make CSC feel like a community:

• “I didn’t know you were into tennis too! Free for a doubles match next week after lunch?”
• “I caught your presentation yesterday — great work! Enjoy your weekend at the club, you’ve earned it.”
• “You’ve got issues with your software system? I know a contact — met him here at the rock wall last week.”
• “Our kids can do homework together while we bowl.”
• “That workshop was fun. We should try it as a team activity.”
• “See you next Friday — same lane, same time.”
• “Want to team up for the next STAR Games? With a bit of practice, we could take first place.”
• “Every year-end, we book a chalet and have a BBQ to celebrate our department’s hard work.”
