If not cross-country, then what other CCA were you considering? Aren't most CCAs at least 2x or 3x/week?

Thinking of something less physical.
Any club/society or performing arts (the CCA head said during briefing that most application for performing art will be accepted).

Aren't performing arts also 2-3x a week?[/quote]At least not so physical demanding. He will not feel so tired at the end of the day compare to physical training 3 times a week. Such as things like Drama.
But if choose things like modern dance will be very physically draining also.

Actually we are quite interested for him to join the co op or maybe debate club.

I think some of these \"recommended\" CCAs are the 冷门, type, got to get some of our kids to fill it up mah. Basis of recommendation is not transparent.

For RI does a kid need recommendation to join fencing ?
It should be 冷门 enough but it's cool.

I don't mind this kind. The trouble is DS offer too large a target for fencing!

Ha Ha fending cannot hit head of face one lah.
Anyway they learn to always face your opponent sideway, offering the smallest hit area possible.

Just came back from RI parent teacher meeting, also mentioned same thing about kids being profile and will recommend on the CCA that they should join.

Me too! Can our kids choose not to join the sports CCA which the school recommends them tp join?
Btw, did you play that Bingo game for parents? Urrgghh!!!

We were late, traffic jam at CTE exit road and Bradell road and trying to find a parking lot in the school. :gloomy: Late also good, don't need to play game [/quote]OIC.. Me & DS2 took the MRT there, so no problem..
Anyway, silly game.. Waste time only.. :roll:
Btw, DS1 wants to join the Raffles Voices (choir). Is it a 'heavy' CCA to join?
