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.

Dear Sec one parents. Is it necessary to purchase the e-book for think! Mathematics textbooks? Or hard copies will do?


Thank you.

Hello! Am a student here, (sec 2 next year), and I feel e-book isn’t necessary! In fact, the teachers will be using the physical book every lesson and will not accept the use of e-book during lessons (but may change with the PDPL next year)! so the e-book is more for at home revision! Hope that helped!

My girl told me otherwise… she uses ebook heavily at home for homework as the textbook is too heavy to carry back and she leaves in school locker.

I would say yes, becos they typically have a mass calligraphy event for CNY.
