Initiated On: 8/1/2024
Completed On: 9/4/2024

1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?
The IT room is operated by 24/7 and the air con is needed to cool the room, if the air con is breakdown will cause the alarm to trigger due to high temperature inside the room , , the high temperature will cause the alarm to trigger , the alarm bell is located at outside server main entrance wooden door just below ceiling , now the problem we face is especially when during the midnight , when there is the alarm activated , the bell will ring and is very loud , this will directly affected the residence that stay opposite or along the school , the other issue we concern is when EOY exam going and this will affected the class students , the bell will ring provided the system is back to normal or it will keep on ringing and non-stop . We arrange vendor to remedy the issue and they also need time to come down to our school.

2. How had it been experimented and enacted?
The perfect ideally is to install alarm reset button, the working way is wherever there is alarm activated, the teachers, students or staff can simply press the black button and it will temporarily silence the alarm, follow by just make a call and inform infrastructure that server room is alarmed or e-mail to infrastructure department. The implement solution is taking us almost a week to think and design the control circuit and finally the system is working after doing few tests and is very effected.

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

4. What was the positive impact?
The solution to implemented this idea is very useful and easy to handle it , any staff in school can just simply press and reset , important is no maintenance at all.

5. What is a future need that this IdEas@work could meet?
This idea can work in a lot places especially in IT room and also in air con unit system.

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
