Secondary School CCA

zeemimi:

Red Cross & Girl Guides are comparable in terms of CCA points score. Yes, lots of marching for Red Cross. Girl Guides has some marching. Also camping.


But i would think that Girl Guides is more fun.

Thanks Lovejoypeace and Zeemimi for your thoughts!

Thanks Daisyt! I found Subaru World Rally Team. Didn't sound like a toy car that can be programmed.

My girl is in NYGH and she has chosen NPCC as one of the CCAs interested though she has no idea how it will be like. Does anyone here know if there are lots of marching for NPCC as compared with NCC?

Thanks in advance :lol:

hi, i just joined this website, i find it rly useful! anyway in reply to your concern, my daughter was once from nanyang npcc as well. her character has changed ever since she has joined that cca for the better. she constantly praises her cca to me, and i can tell she enjoys her training sessions a lot. i have also noticed that she has matured a lot after joining npcc and becomes more skilful in many things. she also became more independent. as a uniformed group it would involved marching definitely, but my girl told me before that they also do other things apart from marching and doing drills. i hope this has helped you

No. CCA points are keyed into MOE's system which will be transferred over to the new school.

However, before you finalise the withdrawal from current school, check carefully that the school has entered all the points correctly. Some schools wait till the kids are in S4 before they enter all the data from S1 to S4.

Thank you for the help! But let's say she changes her cca in the new school, the cca points would be gone right? :stupid:

No, it does not work this way.

Example:
Your child is in NPCC since S1 in School A. She has chalked up a total of 12 points in S1 with School A.
In S2, she transfer to School B and start a new CCA, maybe Netball.
The 12 points she earned from NPCC in S1 from School A will remain hers, it will not be deleted or taken away. It's just a matter of getting more CCA points in S2 - 4 to score an A1 or A2.

The criteria for all CCA points to be deleted from system is if your CCA attendance does not meet minimum 50%.

Don't worry about the points transferring over to new school. It is all in MOE's system as long as keyed in correctly. When you do withdrawal from current school, they'll print out the CCA records for you to check also.

Anyway, this works the same for any offences or learning disabilities. It is all recorded in MOE's system and once you transfer school, the new school can access to the information. Same thing from Primary to Secondary

Hi mintleaf, the major ones are NJRC (in Sept) and FLL (in Jan). There are others like WRT, Robo Gladiators and one more I cannot remember.


There are others for the multi media division like Stritwise, website design ....

and RoboCup (robotics). This international event will be held in Singapore this year.
