Thanks 7788 for your reply


And I have another question may I know what is the difference between the wushu CCA and the wufang wushu enrichment. Any feedback

wushu cca means you are in the school team and can represent the school for competition. wushu enrichment is the same as enrichment classes whereby a child can pay some fee and join as an interest class. hth

By the way, is it true that Maha Bodhi now do not accept Parent Volunteers?


For primary one session, are the P1 children paired with the senior students in school for first few days?

MBS is not a single session school yet. It will happen in 2016. Yes it is true that they do not accept any PV for Phase 2B. As for the buddy system, I am afraid MBS doesn't practise that. There will be PV helping out during the 1st 2 weeks. hth

Thank you, Chowon. Good to know the answers.

For MBS, the P1 have catered food for the 1st 3 days of school. On the 4th day, my understanding is that they will be allocated a P2 buddy. Besides buddy, parent volunteer also play an important role.

MBS don't accept PV. The rationale is that their demand is already more than supply so they don't want to create unnecessary demand thereby disappointing parents.

Just to clarify, the Wushu CCA comprises two teams - the school team and the non-school team. Members of the former only meet once a week (Wed) for practice whereas the latter will meet twice a week (Wed & Fri). As chowon has pointed out, the school team members may be selected to represent the school to take part in inter-sch competitions.

Last understood is that wushu CCA is no longer offered to the lower primary, only the enrichment programme. not sure what is the case now.

The Wufang wushu enrichment programme is a paid programme and if I am not wrong is conducted in the evening after school (previously was Monday not sure about now). Coaches for the CCA are also from Wufang which is set up by Vincent Ng 翁清海. For the paid enrichment programme, guess they will impart more to a smaller group.

My P1 came back with a CCA form for Wushu. I didn't pay much attention to it but my impression is that it is not paid type.

MMM, my gal got that form too. It’s P1 & P2 Wushu Enrichment Programme. It is $148 for 10 lessons conducted every Wed 9am to 11am.

Thanks Admummy. Do you know about chinese orchestra? I heard it's also paid and on saturday?

We are thinking of exposing P1 to band and orchestra after which ask her to choose 1.

Hi MMM, ds is in Chinese Orchestra. The hours are 9am-1pm on Sat. No fees collected. Perhaps it’s guzheng that is payable?
