anyone knows how schools choose students for sec one cca? do they hv to go for trial etc.? must students meet certain standards to be selected?

I heard from my sec sch boys tt the CCA group will be setting up \"Booth\" when the kids report to sec sch in late Dec.

They Can Look-See, and Register later into the CCA Grp they interested in. Could be thru internet, could be thru form submission - depends on sch practice.

For Popular CCA, Audition / Trials will be held.

Your secondary school boys? You have older sons?

Wow! So serious aah?

So if u r interested to join say the chess club but do not qualify due to stiff competition, does that mean you can't join the chess club at all? I'm not talking abt school team just the join the CCA? :?

The only school that you can pick and choose CCA is NUSH.
Because the student population is so small.

NJC has a different trial system for CCA.
Again because the student population is small.

[quote=\"nats\"]anyone thought of how best our dd/ds could make full use of the extremely long holiday?

Maybe, engage in sports?

PSLE Battle completed. Just wait for result on 24 Nov. Has to pack up all the books and pass on to those going to take PSLE next year. Come back 4 years later for my DS1 to battle again (that will be 2015). Think in 4 years time, syllabus may change. Probably, even tougher.

The schools I know of hold trials and auditions and the best are selected for the CCAs. If you're not selected by any CCA, you'll be 'dumped' into the unpopular ones which still have vacancies. In secondary school, it's the CCA that choose you, not you choosing the CCA.

Some may not consider Chess Club a main CCA so anyone can join it as a second CCA.

Looks like we are one of the very few not going out to celebrate this week.

DS2's exam is next week so this weekend also probably just stay at home.
But DS1 is happy enough with his new NDS game, going online on facebook, watching tv etc.

u r not alone, ngbrdad. DD (sec 2) exam will be commencing next wk till 19th Oct. So we'll be grounded at home for the next 2 wkends:( But at least the major PSLE is ovr, 50% of stress relieve:)

Hi, met my sister in law (teacher of one of the primary school) lat night and she mentioned to us the Science paper was tough as some of the children in the good class cannot complete the paper and in tear.

Hi Brenda,
Oh dear!! DD and her classmates finished the science paper within the stipulated time but DD drew different responses from her classmates...some said it was easy, some said paper was ok & manageable while a few said it was tough. The science paper was the only paper that produced varied responses from her classmates.
