Age of Uncertainty VR Art Exhibition

-

Contributed by Sarah Choo

Present Situation:

The Secondary 1 AEP students, have been engaging with various modes of art lessons during these past few weeks of home based learning. They embarked on a module to create Cubist Self Portraits using materials found in their homes to don themselves into the characters in the cubist artwork. Given the HBL mode of learning, it also gives students the space and time at home for this creative work. Students were given one week to create their art pieces after being guided by their Art teacher via a video tutorial. The students have produced commendable pieces of artwork that have caught the attention of the Zaobao Student Publication (under zbCOMMA which is an independent Chinese news-magazine distributed to schools on alternate Wednesday and hopes to develop young readers to Lianhe Zaobao reading when the students are older). The article, which features a few home-based learning sharing by a few schools, is published in zbCOMMA. The students have since initiated a Virtual Art Exhibition titled 'The Age of Uncertainty', on an online platform to exhibit their works of art, which will be put up for sale. 100% of the net proceeds will be given to the chosen local beneficiary/beneficiaries in the capacity of Nanyang Girls High School following from the Fundraising Project.

Improvement:
All 18 artworks have been sold and $500 has been raised for communities affected by the Covid19 Pandemic. This art lesson and Virtual Reality exhibition is published online and in ZBCOMMA papers. This platform was also shared with the SPICE team. Subsequently, the NYGH sec 2 SPICE projects were also exhibited on this platform. NYGH has been nominated t shared this lesson and its outcomes at the 2020 Art Coordinators’ Meeting (Sec/IP) between the 28 September 2020 to 1 October 2020.

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. And she discussed with management team and was agreed and approved on 12/7/2023. It was implemented in 2024. What was the positive impact? 1) reduced wastage of gifts 2) flexibility for staff to buy what they need.

INTERNAL HCL ORAL EXAM

Contributed by CHEN HSUAN CHIEH, SAM CHOON JUEN, ALEX TEO What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? Before 2023, the internal advanced Chinese oral examinations for Secondary Three and Secondary Four were conducted over three afternoons, from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm. This approach posed several issues: Conducting exams over three afternoons disrupted afternoon classes. 1. Staffing arrangements were challenging, as a significant number of teachers were needed to serve as assistant oral examiners (AOE). The availability of AOE teachers did not always align with the designated oral examination times as they have other lessons in the afternoon, resulting in difficulties in staffing arrangements. 2. 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 invigilators f
