Malaysian Scholars' Recruitment Video

-
Department/Committee/Team: Relations & Heritage Committee and NYAV
Leader(s): Deline Victoria Soh
Member(s): Mark Tan, Mark Shone, Ms Siau

Initiated On: 1/15/2024
Completed On: 5/17/2024

1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?
There is no such video to begin with , hence Principal mooted the idea that R&H could produce a video for use when we travel overseas to recruit scholars. What better way than to let them see for themselves and hear for themselves from the horse's mouth. After discussing with Mark Tan and NYAV, we took on the project.

2. How had it been experimented and enacted?
Olivia and Verane are the two students in charge and they worked closely with Mark and me to brainstorm and draw up the storyboard. They had to research and try out new techniques. They also learnt from Mark Tan. Then they also discussed questions for interviewees with me and we worked on the edits as a team. Sometimes we had to make the painful decision to not use a take and then try a different approach. There were obstacles but the girls were able to see them as opportunities for growth. The video was well-received when Principal showed them in ASEAN countries.

3. Which group(s) had benefited?
Students (Selected Groups), Stakeholders in ASEAN countries and our own scholars as well as NYAV students

4. What was the positive impact?
The team shared that they felt empowered to decide the direction of the video. They felt it was a large scale project that challenged them out of their comfort zone and they felt it was all about student voice. They learnt how to mobilise the whole school for the drone shots, and they learnt to interview scholars, and PSG Chair. They felt they had many opportunities to innovate and adapt and they felt that it was a fruitful and exciting experience, one they never ever had before. Principal also shared that the video was well-received by the schools she visited and the potential parents who viewed the video.

5. What is a future need that this IdEas@work could meet?
We can use it for recruitment of scholars. We can also share this project with other schools so they can learn from us on how to create a meaningful platform for student empowerment where the student voice is loud and clear and their talents and passion are harnessed.

Remark: To be combined with Corporate video one and share award Stage 4.

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
