May I check whether CCA is important in IP school? As in CIP hour effect the entering of local university? I know like olevel CIP marks can use to cut off some point when choosing JC. How about Alevel? Is it the same?

I believe, in life, the importance of anything is often relative. If I have to choose from a group of about equal qualification and among them, one person have shown that he had taken a more balanced and holistic path, I would have preferred him ahead of others. Others may set other criteria, but anything extra always gives the person an edge over others who are more normal.

In addition, it also depends on what we want for a secondary school education. Do we just want the grades which get them into a uni course, or do we want a holistic education which equips our kids to be better prepared for life in adulthood? This is not a MCQ question. As parents, we are in the best position to coach our kids so they learn how to prioritize and how to strike that balance.

I do agreed.

I am asking because if CIP hours will effect her chance of going into University than we have to be very careful in her CCA just in case it affected her chance of going to a course that she like in university.

My girl is very active in uniform group in her primary school. Too bad NJC don't have uniform group. She has Martial Art background but NJC also no Martial Art CCA.

She do have grade 5 ballet and piano. But she is not interested in taking up dance and music CCA leh. :scratchhead:

Now she has headache of what to join.

My worry is \"in case\" she keep changing her CCA, it will affect her CIP hours like O'level track secondary.

Hi, understand your question and just to share what I hear.

CCA for uni admission is \"not as important\" as CCA points for JC admission for local universities. Usually grades come first. But for highly competitive courses, they do look at CCA record and interview performance. It is not as straightforward as CCA bonus points for JC admission.

By the way, are you referring to LEAP points when you mentioned CIP hours in your post? CIP hours is only one component of LEAP points.

LEAP points is the way MOE count the CCA points for Sec school students. You can google about it.

It is actually very confusing. After my ds finished Sec 4, I still don't understand how it is counted. Luckily the school keeps track of the record and we hardly need to know. We just check the system for an update every year.

Hi,


Has anybody's DS or DD been taking the AEP program from Year 1? How is this program graded? How is the workload? I know the school will give a detailed talk about it on 6 Jan but just want to check if any parents here have any info to share?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I guess nobody has any idea about AEP? Anyway Happy New Year to all, hope our kids will settle down nicely to their new life in NJ. :rahrah:
