Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)
-
Hi I was just wondering…
1)Other than O lvl, A lvl and ESP notes, would topics taught in the Galileo Prog. help towards preparing for the RA bio and chem selection test.
2)Another concern is that i have not participated in any sci competitions and I will not be taking up a sci re proj. either. (i am not frm sci club. But i do attend the ESP prog.) Will this adversely affect my portfolio? Will this greatly reduce my chance of getting into the RAs? and is there anything I can do about it now? -

Your son was interested? I guess Yishun can be a distance if you don't stay near there.

Hi, thought I would join in on this interesting discussion on CCA, especially on Shooting.
My wife and I also had concerns on the time-consuming travel to Yishun for this CCA. On months when there are shooting competitions, we were told the boys can be expected to train 4 to 5 times weekly. On other months, the weekly training frequency is 3 to 4 times.
Our son went for the trials yesterday and was given the form to apply for Shooting CCA (the PRC coach liked his steady hands when holding the pistol). He said he was 4th on the list. We are already speaking to our boy on considering an alternative CCA.
He also went for the String ensemble trial and looks like he might be offered a place there as well. They said they would sms him soon on the result of his trial. However, he prefers shooting over the cello.
One other CCA that he was told he had a good chance to get accepted was Judo! My wife was not keen on him doing Judo - fear of the pospect of broken bones and limbs.
Anyone has comments on Judo as CCA?
Anyway, we now have a challenge trying to manage our boy's CCA expectations and wishes.
