·         Aspire to leave a better Nanyang for those who come after them

 

Implementation Process

 

 

1.    Direction - Chairperson set directions and articulated clear purpose and approach to the event. Objectives and direction were grounded in research and theory.

 

2.    Empowerment - Engage team members in generation and confirmation of ideas

 

3.    Timing - Meet with other colleagues-partners early in the ideation stage to align goals and purposes. E.g. SL team, APG team, NSAA

 

4.    Communication - Involve and update colleagues periodically on the progress to make joint decisions as the situation with Covid-19 pandemic evolves.

 

5.    Partnership - Utilized alumni expertise and formed a digital marketing task force with young alumni to develop a plan for online engagement

 

6.    Liaised with NSAA and Service-Learning team, Student Leadership team, CCE team on the preparation and packing of the Care Pack for Community Outreach

 

Extent of Improvement/

Targets met

 

 

 

 

·       This is the first year in a long time that NYGH has set aside a day for Founder’s Day. It is also the first time that APG is held on the same day. In addition, because of Covid-19, there were a lot of limitations placed on events planning. In view of the extenuating circumstances, the innovation required to plan FD and to integrate it with APG is an achievement in itself.

·       The objective for Founder’s Day was to inspire school spirit. The team approached it with intention of engaging the whole child. Therefore, although we collaborated with different stakeholders, there was careful curation of activities to ensure a variety of activities that attended to the cognitive, emotional and physical aspect of the child.

·       As testament to the student-centered planning, in the end of year survey conducted by Wanling and team, Founder’s Day was a significant highlight of 2021.

Vouchers as birthday gifts for all staff

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
