Catholic High (Primary)

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!!

SYF year used to be around 3x/week for afternoons and 3x/week for morning practices, i think. In 2006 syf, it was 5x/week for morning practices!

[catmum]

Yes, they are doing 2x a week now and probably 1 of the mornings too very soon ... and it's still more than 1 year away from SYF!


Thanks for giving me the heads-up ... I'll brace myself for the busy season next year to give full support to poor ds! :?:

That means teachers will monitor those pupils without CCAs and offered them some choices, right? Does he need to go for audition? When he switched to CO, how do you actually do the resignation and sign up?
