Pardon me if my question sounds silly:


If ds is shortlisted for a particular CCA, and he ranks it as his 1st choice, will he still be unsuccessful joining it? :skeptical:

NN's DS here.

By right, no. But there were a couple weird cases in my class where people were accepted for a CCA, picked it as first choice and did not get it. I suspect maybe it's cos the 2nd choice CCA \"stole\" them from the 1st choice one. In any case, both of them appealed and got their 1st choice CCA.

Is it true that yr 3 cannot take 2 electives?

This is NN'S DS. If I recall none of the options given during the subject combi briefing in y2 have 2 electives but I think there was some guy in my batch who appealed to take CEP and French (so 11 subjects) and was successful. If you want to continue taking 2 electives, there is no harm appealing.

Tks, my son is taking french and CEP tis yr so he said might drop French next yr which I feel such a waste but guess no choice if his hand is full

Hi, may I know is there any selection criteria for CEP? If yes, what is it?

Need feedback from seniors or parents of seniors:


How do the Year 1s generally perform in the first half of the year at the mid year exams? Not to mention the top 10% of the cohort who usually perform well and adapt quickly to sec school, I am referring to the rest of the boys.

How do the teachers help the laggers or those performing below expectations?

Please shed some light. Thanks!
