Leader(s): Nicole Ning Member(s): Wang Mo, Soi Mui and Michael 1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? The current need being addressed is the effective integration of EdTech tools in the art classroom and across various disciplines to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Educators aim to foster reflective, contextual, and collaborative learning that connects students to real-world applications, ultimately improving learning outcomes and creating engaging, personalized experiences. Additionally, there is a gap in providing timely feedback through e-assessment methods, which is essential for continuous improvement. The focus on Active Learning Processes (ALPs) highlights the necessity for students to engage in relevant activities that promote deep understanding and metacognitive reflection. Furthermore, empowering students to take charge of their learning journeys is crucial for cultivating lifelong learning competencies, such as autonomous learning an...

Department/Committee/Team: News team Leader(s): Li Lin Member(s): Yang Liu, Cai Yifei, Aloysius Foo 1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? The initiative addresses the need to broaden students’ exposure to diverse Chinese media and deepen their understanding of global and regional issues. While students traditionally rely on Lianhe Zaobao for news, this limits their engagement with other reputable Chinese media outlets or official translations of global reports. Additionally, there is a gap in students’ awareness of ASEAN-related developments, which are crucial given Singapore’s regional context. By incorporating non-Zaobao articles and ASEAN-focused content, the program encourages students to explore varied perspectives, enhance their language skills, and develop a more comprehensive understanding of both local and global current affairs. 2.  How had it been experimented and enacted? Every week, the student news broadcasters select articles from...

Department/Committee/Team: BSP scholars enrichment programme Leader(s): Yeo Peck Hong Member(s): Cai Yifei, Qi Yan Ping, Luo Ziwei, Zhang Rong Hua, Sun Heyu 1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? The BSP program addresses the need to nurture globally-oriented scholars who remain deeply rooted in Singapore’s context. Key gaps include limited exposure to local community challenges, difficulty bridging theoretical knowledge with real-world practice, and a lack of opportunities to cultivate empathy and civic awareness. The MP Attachment Programme fills these gaps by engaging students in grassroots activities such as Meet-the-People Sessions and community events. This hands-on approach enables students to observe governance processes, understand local issues, and contribute meaningfully to society, aligning with the program’s aim of fostering bicultural, socially-aware scholars grounded in Singapore’s unique socio-cultural fabric. 2.  How had it been ...

Department/Committee/Team: PE Leader(s): Lim Ting Fang Member(s): Lance Teo and James Ong (2IC), PE Dept supporting 1.  What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? There is a growing pool of students who wish to engage in active living (e.g., sports) during school breaks such as common recess periods. These students have previously approached the Physical Education (PE) department, expressing interest in having regular, organized activities accessible to the school population. Many of these activities, being team-based sports, require a sufficient number of participants to be viable. In the past, such activities occur on an incidental and ad-hoc basis, lacking a consistent framework to sustain student interest and participation. 2. How had it been experimented and enacted? In the past, students keen on physical activity during common breaks have independently utilized playing venues to engage in sports individually or within small groups of friends. However, these effo...
