Sec 1 Track & Field ICG

-

Contributed by NEO SHU MEI, ONG BENG KOOI JAMES, YEE JIN KETT

Current Situation:

As part of the PE syllabus, Sec 1 students learn Track and Field events such as Sprints, Javelin, Shot Put and High Jump. In the past, students get to take part in Combined Sports Meet (CSM) where some of them have the opportunity to take part in the Track and Field events in a competitive setting. However, not all students have the opportunity to compete during CSM. Due to the pandemic, CSM did not take place last year. As a result, last year’s Sec 1 students did not have the opportunity to take part in any Track & Field events competitively.

Improvement:

To create a platform for students to compete in the Track & Field events which they learnt during PE in Term 1 and 2, we decided to carry out an “in-class” Track & Field ICG in April. There were 6 events (50m, 400m, Long Jump, High Jump, Javelin, Shot Put) and each student have the opportunity to take part in 2 Track & Field events of their choice (the 2 events need to be from different category). Instead of only rewarding the top 3 runners/throwers, we prepared prizes for the top 10 for each event as a form of motivation for the students. In order to adhere to SMM guidelines, the events were carried out during their respective PE lessons. The non-participants for each event helped out as event officials and as a result have a better understanding of the various Track & Field events and rules.

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
