Is there a art club in cedar ? Not that i know of unless it is a new cca.
Hi! Good forblessedtwogals:
My friend's DD is in Y1 and has been chosen for UG which she did not like and want. However, she's taking it in her best stride and is now showing 'interest' in it, somehow by sharing it after each cca lesson.
:rahrah: JY JY !your dd ... mine is actually quite ok as she has made friends which is impt for her but her no.1 interest is still art-drawing so she prefers a club where she can expand her interest.

Guiding can be a very fun experience. The girls will also learn a lot from the activities. Talk to those who are guides to find out more.
Hi! Chances of successful appeals are rather low unless of valid reasons. Majority of my friends were pretty unhappy about their cca allocations initially, but a lot of them grew to enjoy it and foster close friendships with their friends in cca. Maybe your dd could give guides a chance I'm sure she'll start to enjoy itKSP2013777:
Hi,
My daughter also got into guides, and she's terribly unhappy about it. Guides was submitted as fifth choice as there were no other options. It seems quite a few girls in her class got into ccas that they're unhappy about. Any idea what are the chances of successful appeals?
It'd be a pity for my daughter to like everything about Cedar; only for the Cedar experience to be marred by an unhappy cca experience! Please help.
TIA -
Hi everyone!
My daughter has successfully appealed out of guides into the CCA of her choice. Very happy now. Thanks everyone, for your suggestions and concern. The Cedar experience has so far been a very happy one, for her, and for me. -
Just want to know whether cedar secondary accept students at sec 1 level through Dsa or is it at sec2? Cedar has always been dd dream school but she fell short of few points for psle by her MT. Actually it!s quite sad cos she made it to the last interview round of Dsa for cedar ip and didn't cut it.... :gloomy:

To my knowledge, DSA is for Sec 1. I mean, you can go by DSA route to secure a place in Sec 1 in your dream school in P6 before you sit for PSLE. I am not sure about Sec 1 going on to Sec 2. Perhaps, you could call the school office?

It's possible to attain a distinction in cca without a leadership position. The minimum is 20 points, with 4 points deducted from attendance, that leaves 16 points left. The school gives 4 points to each student under enrichment, that leaves 12 points. Your dd might consider doing CIP which gives up to 5 points, so that leaves 7 points left to attain. Your dd might consider going for some minor competitions like writing competitions which gives up to 1 - 2 points even if you don't win. If your dd manages to get into the track school team, she will take part in the track nationals every year which allows your dd to attain more points.daranic:

Thanks for the link.
CCA Grade: No. of CCA Points
A1: 25 & above
A2: 20 - 24
B3: 16 - 19
B4: 13 - 15
C5: 10 - 12
C6: 8 - 9
D7: 4 - 7
E8: 1 - 3
U: 0
From the table in the link, I gathered that to achieve A1 or A2, one needs to clock 20 points and above.
Can someone enlighten me how does the point accumulate work in Cedar?
My dd1 is in track and the practice is 3x per week. According to her, she gets 1 point/yr only if her attendance is 75% of the academic year. And this works the same for any other CCA.
Is this fair, since I understand that some CCAs is only once or twice per week? And without being in any leadership role or joining any competition, one can never achieve C6 in 4 years if only 1 point is given each year.
Hope this helps! :)[/quote]It's a bit late but since I'm from Track I'd thought that I give you my experience to think about.
I've never been in the school team, except in Sec 2 when there wasn't enough people, so I'd only joined the Nationals for one year. However, the teachers and coaches do make sure that all Cedarians get to attend competitions to get the CCA points. I've gotten the minimum 20 points without counting the other leadership points and without being in the school team.
I really encourage to you to let your daughter try other competitions and programmes (like NYAA and other competitions) outside of CCA as it would help her to gain points for CCA and also benefit her as she gets more exposure.

Hi there,
From Potong Pasir MRT, you have to walk a distance along the terrace houses to Cedar Girls Sec School. As for buses from MRT, no. However, an alternative is to take MRT to Serangoon Station at NEX and change to bus 100. The bus stop is a short distance away from Cedar Girls' Sec School as compared to the walk from Potong Pasir. Hope this helps! -

Is this regardless of result at year 4?
Meaning once admitted to Cedar IP will auto promote to VJC in year 5?
Cedar Girls O level classes are separated from IP classes?
Different curriculum?

I don't think there is auto promote for any ip schools. Usually have to switch to o level if cannot cope. Those with dual track can probable remain in the same school n do o levels. Those full ip schools means either retain or transfer out.I understand that Cedar IP will join VJC in year 5.

It's not 300 metres, it's actually 1km, I measured on Google MapsWalk along the roadside and row of terrace houses , ard 300 metres.
But it's good exercise and all; I use this route to get to Potong Pasir MRT. -
I tried taking a bus 100 from Nex which is 6 bus stops away. After that have to walk about 8-10mins.
My girl’s tutor told me is better to take to Woodleigh station and out of the station there are more buses like about 3 instead of one Bus 100 in Nex. After that is only 3 bus stop away. Shorter distance. MRT is more reliable than just one bus.
Hope this helps. -
But woodleigh mrt station is closed.
Walking into cedar secondary is no joke, ESP. On heavy thunderstorm rainy day. It is far, deep in. Bring along a spare set of uniform, to change into dry clothes, on rainy days.
