Hi Daisy, I did 'To kill a mocking bird' and ' Animal Farm' when I was in Sec 4. Now they are doing that in sec 1? The standard is so high now. :shock:

If students are thrown into a cca they really cannot tahan, can they change it the next yr? :?

They are still an O lvl books but i feel year 1 can start reading for fun.

If really cannot tahan, should be able to change bah. The sch cannot be so unreasonable bah. I have heard of one or two cases.

When I spoke to the sports trs during open house, it seems like they are going all the way out to improve the standard of badminton. Seems like the P is v keen on badminton, so I was told they are joining force with Lining and doing a lot more for badminton. So I believe they will be looking for the best of the best during dsa trial. If your child is from JSA, then I believe she'll have a better chance. Some students who are under JSA are already accepted into the sch team. They didn't even need to go for the trial.
My dd is going for training, but she still has to go for the trial as she's not from JSA. It seems like badminton is the only sport that conducts such intensive training during this holiday, 4x a wk. But maybe the tournament starts in 3rd wk of Jan, that's why so rigorious training.

my son said if he can’t join table tennis, he will go for badminton. seems like he won’t stand a chance liao…


what about shooting? does anyone know where do the students go for shooting? it is conducted in some outside venue. and is transport provided to bring the kids to the shooting venue and back to school? my son is also interested in shooting…

looks like he will end up with UG which he dislikes…

[sall]

Sports cca is very difficult to get in. I remember the rv tr asking dd about her pri sch badminton team, whether she is a 1st single player, what they had won over the years. As for shooting, I also have no idea, sounds interesting as it's conducted at outside venue. Maybe should get the students to go around and shoot those irritating crows.. :lol:
