Ms Nadiah Razali
I graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Second Upper Honours) in Sociology.
Beyond Sociology, the multidisciplinary learning experience in NUS enabled me to explore my interest in regional studies (Southeast Asia and South Asia), Social Work and Film Studies. Undergird these different fields of studies is the appreciation of diversity in the human experience, respect for the different perspectives that it presents, the willingness to consider these perspectives and the skillset to be discerning.
Through General Paper, I hope to imbue students with the same enriching learning experience that will enable them to appreciate the interrelationship of ideas and become more adept at managing the complexities of the world we live in.
After a teaching stint in a secondary school, I decided to join the fraternity by pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Education. I then taught General Paper and Project Work at a junior college where I was given the responsibility to look after students in a sports co-curricular activity. It was a truly rewarding experience to see them grow in confidence and maturity. One of the highlights of my teaching experience in the junior college was witnessing students grow in strength as they overcome challenges to emerge National Champions for the National School Games and to see them apply the same resilience and grit in their academic pursuits. This experience crystalised my belief that learning transcends the boundaries of the classroom and that genuine learning comes about through meaningful experiences.
Prior to joining Eunoia Junior College, I was part of the Curriculum Planning and Development Division (CPDD) teams that oversaw the national curricula for General Paper and Project Work. I am grateful for the opportunities in CPDD to design and implement a suite of professional learning offerings for teachers and develop nation-wide resources to support teaching and learning.
I hope to apply my experiences to nurture critical thinkers with a passion for learning and a heart for others. I look forward to learning and growing together with Eunoians and fellow colleagues.
