Hi,


In the CCA list, it is indicated against International Chess that it is second CCA.

Can I know what does this mean? Does it mean that it can be choosen as a main CCA and at the same time, there could be other students who already have a main CCA can also choose it as their 2nd CCA? Or does it mean that it can’t be counted as a main CCA?

Appreciate any advice, please.

It cannot be counted as main CCA for this year’s Sec 1 boys. You would need to have a main CCA before you can choose international chess as second CCA. For sec 2-4 boys in international chess, it would still be considered a main CCA for them.

So the change was only effected from this year or it has always been the case?

Notwithstanding that, the Sec 1 boys will need to have a main CCA for this year, so come Sec 2, how would they be able to choose international chess as main CCA unless they are allowed to 'drop' the CCA from this year? Just wondering :scratchhead:

Does anyone know if Chinese orchestra and St. John require lots of time from the kids?

Anyone came to Parent Briefing on Saturday, 23 Jan 2016? Care to share? My DS in ProEd consortium.

Need to get some advice from parents of sec 2 & above…


Is IS project a compulsory project?

If the child is unable to form a grp with anyone, would he be allowed to do the project on his own (tho I think it’s a bit tedious cos of the scope, but nothing is impossible)?

If the school expects the IS project to be done in grp, would the teacher slot the child into any existing grp that has not hit the max of 4?

DS was enjoying too much of his school life in HCI and did not bother to go ard forming grps with his classmates… when he realized that he has to, it was too late… his classmates had all found members and formed the grp of 4, so he’s left with no classmates to collaborate… and since he only has 1 ex-schoolmate in HCI, but already formed grp in another consortium, he has no other friends that he know to collaborate.

Appreciate advice from the parents of the seniors, so that we can know how to proceed with this. thanks.

Yes, IS is compulsory. (It's calculated in the Mean Subject Grade).

It will be good to form a group, given that it is his first year doing IS. For this, he should approach his form teacher for some advice (or maybe to check if other classes have students who are also alone). Students usually do not do it alone but if so, it usually happens when he is in Upper Secondary.

Yes agreed that it is not advisable for him to do IS Project solo especially in lower sec. Besides letting his form teacher know, maybe he can try approaching those with 3 members and ask whether he can join their group? Coz 5 members group is not recommended. He can also try asking his CCA schoolmates.
