Secondary School CCA

[sall]

Hi Herbie, gymnastic will not cause boys to be short, only weight-lifting will cause them to be short and muscular, if u look at men in weight-lifting competition, they are all shorter than usual, that's because they've been training even before puberty, so it affects their height. It's good for them to be muscular,especially for boys, dun u think so? What kind of accident happened during judo? I believe that boat will not be cheap, but since it's a cca, the sch may subsidise.

hi sall, one of sji sch noy was injured during the judo competition. I think that boy is still undergoing some treatment. Well, my son is thinking of joining fencing now. And the cost of the suit and equipment will cost 800 dollars! I think may be just encourage him to takeup gymnastics cos higher chance to participate in competition and get more cca points.


My ds also tot abt joining the guitar ensemble. So funny!

Hi Herbie, your ds in SJI? Seems like they have a wide variety of CCA to choose from. so lucky. CCA like fencing or guitar is unheard of in most schs.

[Herbie]

yeap,my son is in sji. Actually, my son plays the violin but too bad his sch does not hv string ensemble and learning to play the guitar is new to him. Fencing is an an expensive cca i wish the sch have rock climbing or inline skating, or even ice skating… my dS loves ice skating but mumcan’t afford to send him for classess.

Any one can advise which is better? Net ball or volley ball? My DD has gone for trials and has been approached by the coach to join their teams, she is quite interested but we are also a bit worried if she can get enough cca points from sports cca or not? Especially if she did not win in any competitions… She first choice was actually girl guide. DH said volley ball is "dangerous" as DD wears glasses. In her school, 97% gets A1 or A2 for UG. Only 70% for sports CCA.

if wear glasses, netball would be better than volleyball as the latter may involve some kind of break-falls / rolls on the ground.

but should choose what she is interested in rather than for the cca points.

Hi,

I have a headache issue, my son is selected by 2 CCA, badminton and perform art. The problem is he likes both! My question:
1. If he selects both 2 CCA (timing not crash) and after say half year, drop one, will he get any punishment or bad record?
2. if he selects only one now, after one year, does he get chance to re select again if he decides select another one? of course after one year, another CCA teacher may not want him any more.
I don’t think my son can take 2 CCA at the same time, so must decide now. Appreciated any experienced parent’s input
Which way better? got too many choices also headache.

I was adviced from my brother who came from a top shool and now doing his overseas studies to choose only one cca and strict with itt.

Academic results are also more important.so choose a sports cca .
