Alumni Survey

Adult Survey

 

Ms Pamela Lee had maintained her professionalism as a good coach and positive encourager to many. A total of 262 self-administered paper-and-pen feedbacks were received between April 2010 and October 2011. From the collated data, 92% of the participants self-assessed that they were better equipped in drama related skills after the drama workshops & rehearsals.

As SOOGI was responding to the improvement request from the previous year’s feedback on providing additional rehearsals for each workshop, it had moved toward to providing quality coaching for its participants. Thus, the decrease in the number of workshops as compared with the previous year was necessary. In fact, the request for improvement in providing additional rehearsals had significantly dropped (10%) from 12% to 2% in comparison with previous and current years’ responses.

In the current year, a total of 119 self-administered paper-and-pen feedbacks were received. 91% of the participants self-assessed that they were better equipped in drama related skills after the drama workshops & rehearsals. With such quality-driven workshops that spanned over an increased number of sessions for each workshop, 18% of the participants had expressed an improvement on their drama skills with at least a notch of 5 levels’ increment as compared with the 12% of participants having similar responses received from previous year’s workshops

Worth mentioning, at least 81% of the participants expressed that they were very encouraged by Coach Pamela throughout the workshops. This saw an increment of 3% in the similar response from the group of participants in previous year’s workshops and productions.

Children Survey

SOOGI Children workshops (from 4yrs) had unleashed the drama talent in every child, providing a platform for the little ones to embark on their drama interests. A total of 64 self-administered paper-and-pen feedbacks were received between June 2010 - October 2012 .

From the collated data between June 2010 and October 2011, 72% of the participants self-assessed that they were better equipped in drama related skills after the drama workshops & rehearsals while 81% of them who participated in the workshops conducted between November 2011 and October 2012 thought likewise. Such significant improvement of at least 9% between the previous and current years was commendable.

In conclusion, SOOGI workshops had increasingly been well received by majority of participants with an improvement in their drama acting skills over these years. The desired outcomes of the workshops centred on drama essential skills such as speech, expression and sense of teamwork spirit, had been achieved.
