Co-Curricular Activities
Choir (CCA)
I have been a dedicated member of my school choir for 10 years, starting from Primary 3. Through countless rehearsals, concerts, and competitions, I developed strong teamwork, discipline, and confidence performing on stage. This experience taught me the value of collaboration, perseverance, and harmonizing with others—skills I carry into all areas of my work. As an CCA Exco of my Secondary School Choir, we organize annual volunteer work at St Andrew's Community Hospital for the elderly, with sing-along sessions. Moreover, I tracked attendance, volunteer schedules, and feedback using spreadsheets, and analyzed the data to better understand residents' needs and preferences. This allowed us to adjust activities and resources more effectively, ensuring a smoother and more impactful experience for both the elderly and volunteers.
01
Singapore Youth Festival (SYF)
Over the years in choir, I've participated in at least 4 SYF, with two distinctions and 2 accomplishment certificates. SYF period was a very tiring period, as I had extra sessions planned, nonetheless, the efforts of hard work and dedication paid off.

02
Singapore Internation Choral Festival
In 2023, I participated in SICF alongside my fellow choirmates. We successfully obtained a Silver category award. This experience was rather fruitful as a cultural exchange took place with Choirs from all around the world, mainly Southeast Asian countries.
03
Chinese Singing Competition“新空下”新谣歌唱及创作比赛
In 2023, I participated in 星空下, a song-writing/composing workshop for 3 days at Singapore Polytechnic. The main purpose was to promote Chinese Language among teenagers in Singapore, and to teach them relevant skills. I paired up with a fellow Choirmate, Lee Pei Zhen, to sign up for the competition, in which we did not win. Despite the loss, I enjoyed this rare learning opportunity as it made me reflect on the Chinese language and to continue pursuing my love for singing.
Chinese Drama (CCA)
Otherwise known as NPSAG, Chinese drama is another Performing Arts CCA that I've taken up.

Logistics & Production Team
As a member of the Chinese Drama CCA in Ngee Ann, I worked primarily in the logistics and backstage production team, supporting both stage performances and short film projects. My role focused on ensuring that productions ran smoothly behind the scenes, from preparation to the final show.
I was involved in stage management, prop coordination, set preparation, and backstage crew work during live drama performances. This required strong teamwork, time management, and the ability to stay calm under pressure, especially during live shows where quick problem-solving was essential.
In addition, I contributed to film production tasks, assisting with behind-the-scenes coordination such as equipment setup, scene preparation, and supporting the filming process. Through these experiences, I developed a deeper understanding of how performances are brought to life offstage and learned the importance of communication and responsibility in a production team.
This experience strengthened my ability to work collaboratively, manage tasks efficiently, and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments.
01
《续墨》Descendant
My very first involvement in the CCA was for 《续墨》Descendant, our very own stage production. This production was an experience to live through, from tireless practices behind the scenes to bringing the production live on stage, I've learned countless skills. Being a part of the production team has helped me furthermore appreciate and respect the backstage crews we do not see usually, as their work often go unnoticed.
HMIS Society (CCA)
Otherwise known as HMISS, this is an internal club CCA within NP's school of humanities.

Admin & Finance Department

Admin & Finance assistant head
I am an active member of the HMIS Society, a club-based CCA representing students from the School of Humanities at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. In my first year as a member of the society, I serve in the Logistics Department, where I support the planning and execution of club events.
As part of the logistics team, I am responsible for coordinating event venues, preparing decorations, and sourcing and setting up props needed for various activities. My role requires strong organisation, teamwork, and attention to detail, as we ensure every event setup runs smoothly and creates an engaging environment for participants.
Currently, in my second year, I am involved in the CCA as an EXCO member, serving as the Assistant Admin head to the club. With more responsibility on my shoulders, I now have to make excel spreadsheets, help out with more planning and decision making in the CCA events.
01
HMIS Day 2025
One of the first major events I supported was HMIS Day, a student engagement event where we organised games, distributed snacks, and prepared goody bags for participants. As part of the Logistics Department, I was involved in sorting, organising, and packing event materials ahead of time to ensure everything was ready on the actual day. This experience taught me the importance of preparation, teamwork, and time management, as even small logistical details played a big role in the overall success of the event.
02
Freshmen Orientation Programme 2026
My first ever experience as a facilitator was truly a meaningful and memorable one. As a lead facilitator, I had to not only look after my group of incoming freshmen, but also be a good role model to my peer supporters that worked alongside us during FOP (Freshmen Orientation Programme). It was something new that I had to get used to, standing infront of a crowd, to facilitate ice breaker games and ensuring that others are comfortable in the presence we create for them. I was committed in my role as a lead facilitator and did not give up even when training days were tiring and I had to repeatedly go back to school during my holidays. Overall, this FOP has greatly boosted my confidence in interacting with others, and I was no longer afraid to step out of my comfort zone to try something new.
As HMIS stands for humanities and interdisciplinary studies, our FOP included a Think People, Transform Communities segment, which aligns to the HMIS motto. This was to encourage thought and empathy for people with special disabilities and to get freshmen to experience their hardships as they step into the shoes of such people through games like elderly simulation, drawing challenges with special gloves to mimic hand mobility issues etc.
