Implementation Process
Team met and implemented the practical things such as setting targets, printing and sale of coupons (this was pushed out early to catch the CNY period), and also brainstormed ideas for the funfair.

Sub-teams were formed, led by Exco members. These sub-teams handled the many aspects of the funfair e.g. coupon sales and publicity sub-team, Food & Games/Services sub-teams to vet and guide classes in their planning for stalls, as well as sub-teams taking charge of various events on the Funfair day itself, such as the Shoppers’ Paradise sub-team.

The Funfair team worked on getting sponsorships to help defray cost of funfair. Focus also was on increasing profit margins by not relying overly on consignment goods.

For a list of the events led by sub-teams and the improvements, see Annex 1.

The overarching theme of the funfair was on creating memories, and built on the idea of nostalgia. Events and publicity evolved around this theme, most suited to a homecoming funfair.

Thus, as part of hyping up publicity, social media, in particular Instagram, were used to generate interest in the event and reach out to our friends and alumni. The Publicity team was also able to engage LTA as a partner in promoting the funfair, as part of our bid to encourage visitors to use the public transport.

What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? Our corporate video was very outdated and no longer relevant. 2. How had it been experimented and enacted? Instead of getting a professional vendor to produce the video, Principal challenged me to take it as a student-led project. After giving it much thought, given our students' talent and passion, I decided to take on the challenge despite the tight deadline and likely lack of certain resources or expertise. After getting Mark Shone and Mark Tan on board, they discussed with NYAV students who took on the task valiantly. Along the way, we had to make many edits to improve the production. But it truly exemplified the power of me as each of us had to learn on the go, and used our time management skills, and co...

Department/Committee/Team : GCP Committee Leader(s) : Xue Lanfang, Mark Shone, Yeo Peck Hong Member(s) : Aloysius Foo, Cai Yifei, Zhou Jingwen, Thomas Law1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? 1.  What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? As GCP resumes after Covid, there are many areas we need to review and to refresh memory for the staff and students, so as to ensure meaningful and safe cross-cultural learning from all the trips. The Sec 2 and Sec 3 cohort trips were massive and involved a large number of staff, including EAS colleagues. Safety SOPs have been revised by MOE as well, to take into consideration new developments and trends all over the world, and to focus on developing students and teachers e21CC. Hence, there were needs for pre-trip briefings, talks, PD sessions, preparations for both staff and students. In addition, the resumption of such large skills also required the team to reestablish partnerships with our overseas partners a...
