llDaddy asked: when can students start CCA?


Currently CCA only compulsory from P3 onwards I think? P1 not allowed. And P2 only limited voluntary CCAs. Can anyone share their experience this year?

I had shared in the other thread actually. The former principle allowed P1 students to take voluntary CCA, so my son took it since he was in P1.

This year, the new principle decided not to open CCA slot for P1, but fortunately P2 students can still opt to join, so my son continue to join his CCA.

It will be compulsory only for P4 onward, but I think since my son is still quite free, it's better for him to join early so that he has a better foundation instead of starting only in P4.

Ya I was quite disappointed when there was no CCA fair this year and P1s also couldn’t join the CCA online application.


Later on, us P1 parents received an email from the Sailing CCA, inviting us to attend a talk if we wanted to let our P1s join. Maybe they had leftover places after the main exercise, I dunno. But there are some basic requirements to be met, eg for obvious reasons, must be able to swim 50m in the open sea with life vest, something like that.

Anyway, not much loss to me. My boy is happily playing away with his toys or reading for leisure most afternoons. Other afternoons are filled with Chinese enrichment and music lessons. Sports lessons on weekends.

Hi, for chinese and music lessons, these are conducted in school or do you mean elsewhere?

I hope they'll revise the rule again as my younger boy will join in 2 years time.

Those are my own externally paid enrichment program for my son lol. Otherwise he'd be spending too much time on iPad. I'd rather he pursue his interest in music (which entails daily practice).

Hi,

Does ACS Junior offer higher chinese from P1 or P5 onwards? Thanks.

P1 to P4 no Higher Chinese offered. At end of P4, those who score better in Chinese will be offered to do Higher Chinese for P5 and 6.

Hi, anyone has any recommendations for after school care near ACS Junior for Primary 1? I have contacted Kiddiewinkie. But they no longer have after school care. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you~!
