I think p1, they don't insist, unless you want to have it locked? The lockers are along the inside wall of every classroom (under the window next to the corridor).

Dunno how to answer you, but you should approach the teacher to ask. If he is good, they should want, shouldn't they? So easy to find talent, ah?

We r told during the P1 orientation that all boys do not need to take up any CCA unless our boy is good & skill in a particular sports then we inform the Tcher. U mentioned that the boys will need to choose a CCA at the end of P1...do tcher do screening first before accepting the candidate? or we can just choose which ever the boys like and based on vacancy? Would appreciate yr advice. many thks!

It's true. Generally CCA is not necessary in Cath High. Altho' by p3/p4, they do start pressurising you to take up at least 1 cca, and if you don't, they will put you in some performing group. That's what I hear from my p5 son for this year - as in, that's what happened to his classmates.

The teachers may do screening at end of p1 or in p2, or even p3, and they may give you a recommendation letter to join cca, but if you don't, well .... I'm not sure they can *force* you, right?

My boys only joined ccas at end of p1 bc they wanted to. And in the end I let them bc, my opinion is that, if they are not in school in the afternoon for cca, they would likely be at home playing computers & watching TV or fighting with each other. :shock: So, better that they be in school, lah! At least the CCA is a fruitful occupation of their time.

And for performing arts, it's good to start early, bc well, firstly, they need to learn how to play the instrument. So by the time they can finally perform with the whole orchestra, it might be several months to even a year later - depending on the child. And then after they can play at an elementary level, we want them to advance and become reasonably good at it by the time they are \"seniors\" (in p3/p4/p5) and not still play at a basic level hopefully, and these all takes time to develop, not overnight. And if we are \"ks parents\", then of course, if there is good CCA record, it benefits the child on his portfolio. :lol:

The same does not apply for Dance or sports, I think. These, they can sometimes train to perform/compete in a few months. Of course, again, this depends on the aptitude of the child - which the teachers \"talent spot\" for.
