wat a day! charming sight to see so many baby faced P1s in their serious-looking uniforms… and the P5 buddies did such a wonderful job… everyone was so well behaved… some funny moments such as seeing a maid go after a P1 tucking in his shirt for him while he walked on oblivious… and the dad with this super long zoom lens professional camera… and a big P1 kid buddied with a small P5 boy…

Huh? Over one holiday and so many changes happening around that area? I used to makan at that coffee shop when I \"collect\" my boy after his CCA! :?


Yeah, great to see them in serious-looking uniforms! They look even better with the school ties on for Mondays. But very funny too, when they have their shirts slowly crawling out of their pants as the hours go by, coz they still don't know how to tuck it back in themselves yet!

Enjoy! :celebrate:

Regarding CCA, what happens if a boy doesn’t have any CCA by end of P2?

Or simply, what happens when he doesn’t join any CCA?

My son has been offered Choir but he doesn’t like to sing.

Hi, I just get to know that Chinese orchestra practice is twice a week, with two n half hours for each session. Do the rest of the CCA also have such heavy schedule?

Heavy meh? It's sectionals plus orchestral practice as well.

My boy P1 this year so probably I am quite out of touch with academic n cca developments. The schools now may have placed greater emphasis in cca. I remember during my time, we only need to attend eca once a week

Does p1 need to attend 2x a week too? My p6 ds2 is in Chinese orch and has been since 4th term of p1 and he only needed to attend 1x/week back then. But yeah, most performing arts ccas have 2x/week schedule.

My ds was offered and joined Choir in P1 term 3. He had practices twice a week coz they were preparing for their anniversary performance.


Then he switched to CO in term 4 coz he actually wanted to join CO. It was once a week for junior boys but twice a week for senior boys. However, this year, they are doing twice a week for all levels coz preparing for next year’s SYF competition. And yes, it’s sectional plus combined.

For MOE guide, CCA is about 4hr per week, even for secondary school. But that is only a guide as we know some CCAs would definitely need more time a week, or have seasonal increase in practices before competiton.

I heard that some of his classmates are doing 2 CCAs!! So at least 3 days a week in school!!
