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

In-person Open House was put on hold for a few years because of Covid.

How had it been experimented and enacted?

We wanted to plan a vibrant and inclusive Open House for prospective students and parents, and we also wanted it to be a platform to nurture student leadership in our students and build their confidence, and it is also a platform to engage partners such as PSG and Bukit Timah NPP.

Which group(s) had benefited?

Students (Entire Cohort), All Teaching Staff, Others

What was the positive impact?

1. The Student Leadership Team introduced a QR code system for school tour so that visitors can stop at various stops and still get the complete audio tour and walk at their own pace. Hence we harnessed technology to make the visit more seamless for visitors - they can stop to ask questions at various booths, unlike the past when they must complete the tour. They scripted, trained, and then recorded the script so that the visitors can have a seamless tour. 2. Brand new script for the school tour so student emcees can run quizzes and they are like show hosts as well and it makes it more interactive for the visitors and it stretches our own students. 3. The R& H Committee recommended a theme of 'Anchored in Values, Venturing Forward' to ensure better alignment across all the curriculum and CCA showcases as well as talks. The focus will be much clear with the signposting. 4. Streamlined the issuing of meal coupons so the CCA teachers will not have the additional duty of collecting and distributing coupons. 5. We also collated requests for infrastructure so as to ensure that ICT only needs to gather the requests from one point to ensure more efficiency. 6. ECG booth was set up for the first time and this is important to communicate the importance of various career pathways. 7. We also invited the Police to join us for active citizenry.

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
