      thank you for the confirmation.

      was thinking, life in poly (tertiary) is already so hectic…why is there is a need for CCA?

        I find republic poly students really hip and happening. Was there a few times. And I noticed they are cool dressers. Their canteen is a really nice environment for the young to socialise and network.

              There are CCAs in universities as well. CCAs in tertiary institutions are probably more diverse than those available in JC / Sec schools. To quote schweppes comments earlier, \"CCA does give a more balanced and holistic edu life. For some students, it gives them a sense of belonging doing something they enjoy with like-minded friends.\"

                CCA is important if one wants to apply scholarship 🙂 . Tertiary has more interesting CCA .

                  it’s entirely up to him. he has to learn to manage his time especially in poly.

                  this year’s batch of O level students will be challenging as it’s the dragon year kids. he really has to work very hard.
