Zooming in class for students absent from school

-

Contributed by LYE MEI CHU CHRISTINA

Current Situation:

Due to the present pandemic, students who are on (long term) medical leave / approved absence etc may be absent from school for up to 5 days or more and hence miss a lot of curriculum time.

Improvement:

A (form) class zoom meeting ID can be set up. The absent student can join this meeting and attend lessons for the whole day from wherever she is. This student will then not miss too many lessons. A device can be set up facing the white board. Students seated at the front centre can be taught to man the ipad Eg admitting the absent classmate into the meeting, safekeeping the device during breaks, returning the device to the FT at the end of the day. The FT can start the zoom meeting for the whole day and the absent student(s) can join the meeting and is able to see, hear and follow the lessons for the day. The device can also be brought to the various venues that the lesson is conducted at. Subject Teachers do not need to bring a device to set up the zoom meeting at the start of his/her lesson. The absent child also does not need to remember different meeting IDs and passcodes for different subjects. This is currently being done on a daily basis in 211 for a student on long term MC. In this way, this child was able to attend all lessons despite being absent since day 1.

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
