Dodge Ball Competition

Blog Post by FS0802

On the 25th of July, a dodge ball competition was held, as mentioned by Mr Stewart Tan.

Our class, FS0802 took part in it, and we played in 3 preliminary rounds and one of the round was against MB0804, one of the strongest teams. We lost to MB0804 but we advanced to the knock-out rounds where we faced 15 other teams. When we made it to the Semi-Finals, we were facing the MB0804 team again. We played 3 gruelling games with them, 1st game we lost, however, we took out some of their players, and the remaining 3 or 4 players took us all out. The 2nd game, we switched sides and this time, we played the defensive strategy, however, we did not manage to dodge their altogether-combined attacks and we lost yet again. In the third round, we went all out, and took out some of their best players, but our tactics were no match for their vigor and violence. So we lost to them in the Semi-Finals. We faced FS0803 in a very friendly match for the third place. At that point of time, our class was much less offensive as 02’s and 03’s were in close terms off the pitch. The slow and friendly game ended with FS0803 in the third place and FS0802 in the 4th place.

Inaugural NYP-SSMB National Microbiology Quiz 2009

Blog Post by Neha Singh, staff

On the 13th March, the first of annual series of NYP(Nanyang Polytechnic)-SSMB (Singapore Society of Microbiology and Biotechnology) National Microbiology Quiz grand final was held at NYP’s auditorium. The quiz was targeted towards secondary school students to create awareness and interest about Microbiology. Three finalist – Bukit Panjang Government High School (BPGHS), Nanyang Girls’ High School and St. Joseph’s Institution had emerged earlier from the prelim round consisting of 24 schools. The finalist competed for the coveted National Microbiology championship trophy and S$1500 worth of Borders vouchers.

The finals consisted of three rounds- Multiple Choice Questions, Photo Identification Buzzer Round and Presentation. The MCQ round consisted of 10 questions being asked to each team. The buzzer round was a photo identification speed round in which the team who pressed the buzzer first got the chance to answer the question, however, there was even negative marks for the wrong answer so the schools could not be buzzer happy. The presentation round involved tying creativity to science as students shared with the audience about antibiotic resistance in bacteria using innovative ways like props/skit in just 5 minutes.

The competition was intense but in the BPGHS emerged the winner. In the end, many of the staff members at NYP were impressed with the secondary school students’ knowledge who could answer tough Microbiology quiz questions.

- Cheryl Julia Lee –

Want to win a pizza-making competition? First, skip the workshops organised for it.

Next, think outside the box, do your own research and come up with something unique.

That is what 38 students from nine schools learnt yesterday at the Nanyang Polytechnic-Pizza Hut Pizza Making Competition.
