a)
what do the girls learn in Mind Games Cca ?
is it Chess ?

b)
how about Publishing Journalism Club Cca ?
do they publish articles in Chinese, or in English, like what the Reporters in Straits Times do ?

c)
how about Debating Club Cca ?
how often do they conduct competitive debating, across inter-Secondary schools competition ?
is it conducted once, twice or 3x, per year ?

what are some of the Debating Topics debated during inter-Secondary school competition so far, at Lower Secondary (Sec 1 & 2) & at Upper Secondary (Sec 3 & 4) ?


d)
btw, 3rd language (French / Japanese / German / Spanish) fall on Friday. Some of the Cca(s) also fall on Friday.
if the Cca happen to clash over same Friday afternoon, how ?

a) I'm not sure as I'm not in Mind Games, though I believe they also play Scrabble

b) I'm also not sure, though I believe they write the school's newsletters, Connexions (English) and Aurora (Chinese)

c) I'm honestly not sure about this as I'm not in Debate either

d) I'm positive that 3rd Language is on Monday, but I don't know how it works students with CCA on Monday

Sorry for not being able to answer most of your questions!

Yes, only very few Club Cca(s) end earlier at 5.45 pm, instead of half an hour later, at 6.15 pm or 6.30 pm.

also, do u notice that very few Club Cca(s) conduct once a week training ?

If look at the Sports or Performing Arts Cca,
many of them demand at least minimum twice a week Cca training, sometimes even 3x intensive training per week, closer towards Inter-Secondary Schools' Sports meet competition, or closer towards SYF (for Performing Arts) time.

Secondary school students here -some days : school end at 2.15 pm, other days school end at 2.45 pm, followed by Cca, depending on which day it is.
But on Cca days, if the Cca end 6.30 pm, really a very, very long day in school !

someone mentioned that students in IP curriculum, in this school -

tend to do a lot of projects, heavily involved in many projects until tend to sleep late at night, partly also due to Cca(s) ending so late in the evening (Cca start 3.45 pm, end around 6.30 pm) minimum 2x out of 5 days per week, whereas in contrast for "O" level preparation : students follow a more structured, step-by-step guided curriculum.

How about "O" level ?
don’t do any project at all, in Sec 2 nor in Sec 3 / 4 ?
just strictly follow "O" level syllabus track to complete, classroom style of teaching?

can "O" level students help to verify ? Thanks & appreciated.

There are some projects for O Level (We had our Science Investigative Project last year), though not as many as IP. I'm not too sure for Sec 3 and 4 (but I believe there probably will be some) since we don't seem to have Project Work periods any more.

My girl is in IP Sec One and mentioned needing help for science. Anyone has recommendation for tutors or center?

I understand the curriculum is different for each IP school, therefore, these days tutors are school specific too?
Thank you!
