Contributed by Dilys Tan Puay Miow,  Junita Wong, Luis, Fan Kaideng, Yao Ling Yun What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? Presented the idea of giving vouchers to all staff for their birthdays instead of a physical gift. The existing model of giving physical gifts contribute to wastage & environmental unfriendliness, should gifts not be to staff's liking. Vouchers allow staff flexibility to buy whatever they require. Staff can also opt to donate vouchers to charity in the school's name which contribute to NYGH CSR efforts. How had it been experimented and enacted? Had a meeting with SWC chairman, SWC advisor & SH community Development to discuss the idea. SWC chairman brought the idea to Bursar.

What was the positive impact? 1) reduced wastage of gifts 2) flexibility for staff to buy what they need.

The time spent by AOE in performing their duties was considered part of the year-end exam invigilation time. Deducting their time during the scheduling of year-end exam invigilation not only made the timetable creation process tedious but also contributed to a shortage of invig...

Contributed by Phua-Tan Gek Hoon, Gloria Teng, Alex Teo, Irene Lim What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? There is currently no Women’s Leadership Conference in Singapore organised by a Secondary School for youth. To address this need for youth to learn about women leadership, we organised The Women’s Leadership Conference. The first and second runs were in 2021 and 2022 and were held online. Due to technical issues, some participants with audio and video problems were not able to participate fully in the programme. How had it been experimented and enacted? We started work in March 2023. We had to work on the programme, guest speakers, theme, logo/e-certificates, publicity, manpower, logistics/venues/food, invitations to speakers and participants, case study content, team building games etc over the months. This culminated in the 1 day conference on 14 November. Facilitators helped to conduct the games and discussion sessions. What was the positive impact? The...
