Hi,


Any parents here have kids in dance society?

It has come to our attention that as long as the girls are not properly attired, they will get push ups punishment and it is issued from seniors like sec 2 and up. They hunt and do checks on the sec 1 girls on daily basis and when they issue push ups, they are not supposed to tell the sec 1 girls that they clocked push ups. In this case, how would the sec 1 know they have mistakes? Wonder does the sec 1 boys in dance society has any punishment so far?

When I mentioned properly attired -
1. It means they need to be in super neat French braids that starts from crown and end off the tail (where they tie the rubberband) with less than middle finger length.
2. Bangs will need to be tie up (not sure how it can be incorporated into French braid), any stray hair all need to be clipped up (If girls have layered hair that will also means her head will end up with more then 5-15 clips)
3. School skirt cannot be 3 fingers above knee (this rule we understand and we can comply)
4. No ankle socks (this rule we understand and can comply too but the senior herself is also wearing ankle socks as well)
5. Last rule that I just got know - rude to seniors will also get push ups, if girls roll eyes also get push ups (frankly, how is the judgement done and very subjective??) :shock:

Being new in school it will also means that the girls will need time to learn how to do French braids (they insist no dutch braids allowed as per dance society) by themselves. We all know that this hairstyle is not easy especially for people who does not braid their hair in primary school and it may take months to master it. The girls are only assigned and gone for 1 cca session last Thursday and to-date they have clocked more than 300+ push ups. :yikes:

It is causing unnecessary stress on the girls. Any other sec 1 parent here having this problem?

Hi BB,

Are you informed about the form of punishment via official notification to parent?

Or you know about the details through your child? If so, you may consider to clarify the matter with teacher in-charge directly as sometimes details maybe interpreted wrongly by child.

After clarification, you may discuss with teacher in-charge about your concern if such form of punishment exists.

Every school has its own communication platform for parents to contact personnel in-charge to clarify doubts, to give feedback/suggestions.

I believe teacher in-charge/school is capable to clarify your doubt and address your concern effectively.

Hi TWU,

No, there is no official notification from teachers and we doubt any teachers will send that. If they get punishment from teacher in charge for misbehave, we understand but right now are the senior dancers issuing out punishment based on their judgement and that is totally not right.

Yes, these are the detail provided by my child and within the cca chat group, the sec1 girls are talking about it and I understand their seniors are sending messages to some of the sec 1 girls and asking them to forward text messages to the rest of the group. It consist of messages like how may push ups they clocked and they are expected to clear them and etc.. One senior also mentioned in the message that in the past she went home to cry because of these as well, so from our view, it seems like the senior went through this and wanted this to pass on. It will be a vicious cycle as when the girls get promoted to next level, they will end up doing the same to the juniors and that is not something I would like to teach my child.

I have spoken to a teacher earlier the week and he mentioned that they do not condone such behaviour from seniors but I hear the push up quantity keep increasing by the day. So I am not sure what has been done and would like to see if any other parents are facing the same issue here.

I will be writing in to the teacher this round officially and hope investigation can be done and explanation can be given to all the parents and girls affected. Thanks for your reply

Hi, as a parent of my DD who is a nan hua student, I believe that we as parents should support our children in their CCAs and not complain to the school. My DD has told me that every CCA has its own physical training programme which has been in place since the inception of the CCA and we as parents, should not expect the school to change for us just because we do not want our children to suffer.

Also, in the end, the physical training is intended to make our children fitter and stronger, thus, we should not complain but instead support our children through their CCA.

Hi,


My child is offered DSA from Nan Hua High School. However, we stay in Bendeemer area and I’m thinking if the distance is too far for her. Anyone has any kind advice? (I understand that there is no school bus arrangements for secondary schools).

Hi,

No offence, but shouldn't you think about this question before applying for DSA, and not DSA first, ask questions later?

Maybe you can think of it as good practice / 4 year dry run for NUS or SP / NP in the future.
