Is the guides very regimented? meaning a lot of marching, obeying orders etc? And does it take up lots of time, like weekend and holidays also need to go back? thanks for sharing

not as regimental as ncc and npcc. some marching is still involved. so far guides in the first yr only takes up 2 weekdays. once in a while weekends. sometimes holidays. i would say still manageable. of coz if going for competition will likely take up more time. same goes for all the other ccas.

Hi Zeemimi! Are you from girl guides? Anything else you could share with us? I'm thinking of joining guides, is it fun? Or is it very strict and disciplined? Btw, I told them during the interview that I am not interested in joining guides, but I changed my mind after hearing more about it, if I don't get in because of that, do I appeal?[/quote]i not from GG la. I'm already a mother. :!: My DD is from GG. i believe there is an appeal process after the CCA allocation is out. but did you put GG as one of your choice in the first place? i think my DD had lots of fun. All UG have some standard of strictness and discipline involved. but i think that doesn't rob the fun out of UG.

if fail the audition, can still appeal?

Hi all,

I'm in a dilemma. i took all the auditions in school but i dun noe whether i should put ELDDS or Guzheng as second choice.
i put track n field first cos i think i did well in shotput and javelin(funny thing is that i'm borderline underweight), but i'm quite sure they will probably not accept me cos i'm too short so second choice is quite important.
I was in Guzheng in primary school but i take Drama classes and i kinda like drama better.

Any comments? :stupid: :stupid:

Yes, can appeal. No idea what is the success rate, but for my club (photography), we usually accept most people who appeal, or transfer in sec 2.

Advisepls, I would advise you to put guzheng as second choice. More cca points. They win in SYF. ELDDS only gets participation in SYF. Haha what if you do get in to track? Are you really keen in track? Track is cedar's niche..

Choose where your heart tells you, that way you will enjoy your 4 years more. My DD's friend enjoys her ELDDS very much.

Hi, if you like drama better, then by all means, choose EL as second choice. You should follow your heart and not how well the cca does, or how many cca points you can accumulate. Because after all, you're going to stick to the cca for 4 years, and if you don't like it, it will become a drag for you.

It is true that you should join what you are interested in. However, CCA grades are extremely important. Even though A2 can warrant you a 2 bonus point, it is not enough if you aspire to enter top JCs like RI, considering how many 2 pointers there are. Another thing is CCA grade is also reflected on the result slip. It’s kinda a pity if you get A1 for everything, but only A2 for CCA.

Hi all. Does anyone have a daughter in 1C?

just curious, is volleyball also one of Cedar's niche?
I've read through Cedar's website, volleyball training is at Astra Sports hall... is this an indoor sports hall?

Thanks in advance...

[twilight]

Yes, volleyball is a niche, together with table tennis, track and netball. And yes, Ad Astra is an indoor sports hall. All the sports hall are indoor.
