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

Initiated On: 11/30/2023
Completed On: 7/4/2024

1. What was the current need/gap that you were addressing?
Our corporate video was very outdated and no longer relevant.

2. How had it been experimented and enacted?
Instead of getting a professional vendor to produce the video, Principal challenged me to take it as a student-led project. After giving it much thought, given our students' talent and passion, I decided to take on the challenge despite the tight deadline and likely lack of certain resources or expertise. After getting Mark Shone and Mark Tan on board, they discussed with NYAV students who took on the task valiantly. Along the way, we had to make many edits to improve the production. But it truly exemplified the power of me as each of us had to learn on the go, and used our time management skills, and communication skills to collaborate meaningfully. It also was an excellent platform for the power of community as NYAV had to rally the whole school for the drone takes, and they interviewed BOD, Alumnae, and PSG for the content. Finally, it is also a way to present the power of yet as this video can now be shown locally and globally and inspire many more generations of NYGH past, present, and future students. There were challenges and hiccups along the way, but as a team, we explored options. The students also shared at the launch that they felt more confident of themselves, they are better at communicating, and they feel truly empowered as agents of change as they worked on this new school video.

3. Which group(s) had benefited?
Students (Entire Cohort), All Teaching Staff, All Non-Teaching Staff, Our stakeholders eg. Partner schools

4. What was the positive impact?
A sense of pride to be a member of the Nanyang Family not only because it is a student-empowered project but because it tells the narrative of our school and our diverse and rich offerings and the impact on students, past and present.

5. What is a future need that this IdEas@work could meet?
We can use it for GCP and overseas visit to showcase our school identity.

Remarks: To combine both Corporate and Malaysian Scholar videos as 1 IdEas@Work and award Stage 4.

School video was kept at school Media drive: I:\Media\Video\2024 Video Clips

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
