Could someone please let me know more about raffles debate as a cca. Is there a selection test?


thanks

Raffles debate is a v popular cca. Yes, there are selection trials conducted.

Actually was quite surprised that only recently (last year ? this year?) that Debating cca becomes a core CCA...they have been famous for it for so long ....

I heard from DS (he may be wrong) tt this year, 6 were selected for core team n around 10 for merit CCA. All cca trials are held over the same period in term 1.

Core CCA is compulsory, merit CCA is optional, don't think they have more just because it is core, they must have the school team, reserve team, back up etc and that's it (not familiar with debate club) ....you can go browse the school website and find out more during CCA road show which is very well organised

HCL isn't compulsory in RI though most would take it. Don't know about the percentage though.

hi vlim, I assume you refer only to students who DO take Chinese. (ie, not counting students taking other MT subjects..?

According to the estimation of ds, Yr 1 starts out with about 80 to 85% of chinese students taking HCL.

The the number may increase slightly through Yr 2, 3 and 4, as students who do well in CL exams will be recommended to switch to HCL. Some CL students also apply to switch to HCL out of their own accord.

hope this helps ~
