Infusing CCE via Curated Emails to subject classes

-

Contributed by Ang Joo Liak


Due to time and content constraints, there is limited infusion of CCE in subject-based curriculum lessons.

What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?

1. I curate suitable inspirational news articles and videos and email these directly to my subject classes. 2. These news articles and videos include: a. stories with some relevance to applications of physics, technology or the environment; b. stories of personal challenges, courage, personal beliefs, resilience c. stories involving female role models of all ages - The emails have URLs which are shown at http://johnlittle.pbworks.com/w/page/142735233/inspirations2 - The emails have been downloaded as PDF in this drive URL shown below. - A sample email is attached.

How had it been experimented and enacted?

Students (Selected Groups)

Which group(s) had benefited?

From the small sample of responses to my survey, 1. The stories of courage have inspired my students to be stronger when facing their personal challenges 2. The stories of personal beliefs have encouraged them to stand by their personal beliefs when faced with challenges 3. The stories with female role models have inspired them to work towards their personal aspirations.

What was the positive impact?

This serves as another channel for subject teachers to have a positive influence on their students in areas of CCE, beyond the subject curriculum content. This also strengthens the Teacher-Student relationships, without being constrained by the curriculum timetable.

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
