SoC Student Awards

In SoC, we recognise that leadership comes in many different forms. We also understand that we may have leaders amongst our students who have not yet been identified.

As such, SoC has a Student Award System to recognise contributions of our students.

Drawing inspiration from the International Baccalaureate system of Creativity Activity Services, this system hopes to create a similar system to incentivise leadership while providing all-rounded enrichment beyond academics.

Pillars

The student award system falls around 4 pillars:
Leadership (L)

  1. Management Committee of NUS Students’ Computing Club
  2. Core Team members of NUS Hackers
  3. Project Director of major events such as GameCraft
Accomplishment (A)

Students who attain a certain level of achievement while representing NUS SoC, NUS, or Singapore in a competition.

Enrichment Programmes

In order to achieve the SoC Student Awards students have to achieve points in the various Pillars, and attendance in Enrichment Programmes.
