Nanyang Girls' High School - Co-curricular Activities

Co-curricular Activities

Nanyang Girls' High School has around 33 CCAs for the students. The activities consist of sports, performing arts, clubs and societies and uniformed groups. Students undergo rigorous training and practices in preparation for any competitions or performances depending on the CCA.

The school has done very well in the past years, repeatedly clinching titles in sports championships in inter-school competitions. The school also excels in the performing arts. In the 2011 Singapore Youth Festival, Nanyang Girls' High School clinched eight Gold With Honours and one Silver for its nine performing arts CCA in total (Gold with Honours: Choir, Chinese Dance, Chinese Orchestra, Guzheng, Modern Dance, Chinese Drama, String Ensemble, Theatre; Silver: Band). Students of the school's Infocomm Club often take part in infocomm-related competitions, bagging prizes in competitions such as robotics competition RoboFest and coding competition Code Xtreme.

Nanyang Girls' High School's Uniformed Groups CCAs, namely Girl Guides, National Police Cadet Corps and St. John Ambulance Brigade also stand out. The Nanyang National Police Cadet Corps (NYNPCC) Unit is one of the most respected units in Singapore, upholding long-standing Unit traditions. The Unit has been around for 46 years and excels, most notably at Campcraft (which includes tent-pitching, flag-pitching as well as pioneering), Shooting (.22 revolver) and Quiz competitions. Most recently, the Nanyang NPCC Campcraft teams clinched 2nd and 4th out of more than a hundred teams in the 2012 NPCC-HQ organised Campcraft Competition.

The Nanyang Debate Club (NYDC) is also one of the best and notable debate teams in Singapore, clinching runner-up at The Arena, a televised national debate competition as well as in 2008's Julia Gabriel's Debate Competition. Also, they have emerged as Champions in Hwa Chong Debate Invitationals and done reasonably well at the recent NUS Challenge Shield 2009. Three speakers from the team in the Victoria Junior College Invitationals have been ranked in the Top 5 Best Individual Speakers, with one clinching the Overall Individual Best Speaker award.

The Nanyang Chinese Debate Club has also done well since the club started operation in 2006. Nanyang is the two-time champion of the annual Chinese Debating Championships, first in 2007 and in 2012. It is also the only school in Singapore to have obtained the Chinese Debate Championship title twice.
