      Nope not infocomm. She is in debate. It is expensive because it is a small club. Each batch takes in only 7 to 8. So each member as to shoulder a bigger share of the cost.

      Hi Swc

      How does NYGH debate club select its members? Is debating experience in primary school compulsory? My child is very interested in the debate club but has no prior experience. We are a little disheartened to hear about the small intake. Thank you.

      The selection test is in the form of an interview. I strongly encourage your DD to visit the Debate Club booth during CCA fair (hopefully won't be cancelled due to covid-19) and find out more from the senior girls. They will be more than happy to answer any questions your DD might have about Debate or even about life in nygh in general!

      And please dun be deterred by the small intake or by the lack of debate experience. Many current members have no prior experience. The small intake is to make sure every girl gets the chance to participate in various competitions. So good luck!!![/quote]

          For T&F last year (2019), some of the teachers also did talent-spotting during the first few weeks of PE and asked students if they were interested & to go for the actual trials. So, no, I dont think prior experience is needed.

              You don’t actually need prior experience according to the seniors and I think that’s true! To sign up for trials, you must fill in the yellow form that the debate CCA give you at the CCA fair and fill in by the stipulated time! (Not sure if it is the same in 2021, this is in my experience) Get a passport-sized photo ready too because you need to stick one onto the form!
              For the trials, round 1 would be a group of students together to discuss some topics! The seniors will interview the students and it’s quite chill I would say.
              For Round 2 (selected students from round 1), it is a one-on-one session where you have to say an impromptu speech based on a topic they give you on the spot.

              I only attended round 1 of trials, so if you have any questions, you can approach me! Hope that helped!

                Hi wishuponawishingstar


                Thank you for your sharing. What CCA did you join in the end?

                Which CCAs are generally hard to get in, for someone with no prior experience? How many trials or auditions can one go for? How many choices does one have?

                  Hello! I joined St John Brigade in the end, and I would say that it has been a very fulfilling experience so far!

                  Along with Debate, I would say Theatre, Choir, Modern Dance, Chinese Dance, Badminton (only 2 slots for non-DSA), Artistic Gymnastics etc would be difficult for someone with no prior experience. For the performing arts CCAs listed above, they have 2-3 rounds of trials and choir has quite high standards (from what I heard) while modern dance and Chinese dance may require a good or at least some foundation in dance. Some sports also require a certain foundation.

                  You could go for as many trials or auditions as you want, just make sure the trial dates don’t clash. Do note that the number of trials you go for does not give you priority for if you wish to appeal your child’s CCA after the CCA results come out.

                  You have 5 choices and one must be a uniformed group! Technically, you could not go for a uniformed group trial and put uniformed group down as an option. For other CCAs, you must go for the trial before you put that CCA down as an option.

                  Hope that helped!

                    Dear Parents,


                    To understand how the 2020 PSLE cohort performed and therefore have a better perspective of how the COPs of different secondary schools are likely to move (ie. increase or decrease), can parents of this year's cohort kindly help to post the highest T-score (please EXCLUDE the HCL bonus points) in their child's respective primary school by clicking on the below link?

                    https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/t-scores/

                    Currently, the table only reflects the t-score information of < 20 schools which makes it difficult for any meaningful analysis. Hence, would like to appeal for more parents to step forward and share the highest t-score data in their child's primary school by clicking on the above link.

                    Many thanks in advance!

                    :thankyou:

                        i doubt the school will release the booklist so early. It will probably be put on the school webpage a few days before the sec 1 registration event.
