What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?
With the standing down of safe management measures, full-capacity live performances and in-person arts experiences could resume. Festival of Arts 2023 was a platform not only to showcase CCA groups’ SYF Arts Presentation items with the school community, but also a means to add to the vibrancy of school life with immersive arts experiences by students for students.

How had it been experimented and enacted?
FOA has undergone several iterations, adapting to the changing contexts and planning parameters pre- and post-pandemic. The structure of Festival of Arts 2023 includes aspects of the event that have worked well in past editions, as well as some refreshed components that better support student learning outcomes that are relevant today. These include open rehearsals for performing arts CCA members to observe rehearsal processes of other arts groups, lunchtime performances during combined recess, family concerts on a Saturday afternoon for family and friends, and new student-led workshops and arts experiences by AEP, HMP, Maker, etc.

What was the positive impact?
Vibrant arts experiences enjoyed by many throughout the month of April; meaningful peer learning in and through the arts; Consolidated planning of FOA platforms helped to streamline the work of PA CCA teachers

What is a future need that this IdEas@work could meet?
A platform to develop adaptive thinkers and innovators

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.

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
