1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?
Performances for school events usually have to go through auditions and selections. We wanted to have a platform where anyone can step up and perform if they want to. Also, it has been years since the school gathered around an informal performance in the canteen. We wanted to bring this experience back.

2. How had it been experimented and enacted?
Stage 1: We got a professional busker to come in to perform for the school in the canteen. Stage 2: We asked for students to volunteer to perform. They performed at various venues on 19/5 morning. We prepared cards and stickers where the audience could write well wishes and encouragements for the performers. Videos and pictures of the performances were taken and made into a montage that was uploaded to Instagram.

3. Which group(s) had benefited?
Students (Entire Cohort), All Teaching Staff, All Non-Teaching Staff

4. What was the positive impact?
Students and staff who watched the performances enjoyed them and had the feeling of solidarity and normalcy after covid.

5. What is a future need that this IdEas@work could meet?
Giving performers a chance to step up and perform confidently, lifting the mood of the audience and giving the school an experience of solidarity.

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
