Secondary School CCA
-
Infocomm can joint or learn later but band can only join this once, though it will be more demanding in terms of time commitment. FLute is a good instrument to learn.

Need to make choices for CCA. DS is interested in joining NCC air. Or military band. But he has been short-listed for choir, even though he has no prev exp in choir or sinnging. :roll: If join choir is it possible to get leadership points? Anyone knows if SJI choir is good. I think their military band is good. But would like to have more info so that we can order our preferences better.

DD went for Chinese/Modern Dance audition and yet to know the status.
However, the teacher asked her to check with the parents whether we support her as the training is expected to be very tough and also cannot go for holiday in the month of June. :roll: -
DS has been shortlisted for choir as well. But this sch choir very "xiong": 1 wk 3 days with 2 days having "physical training" - meaning running and physical activities!!! We joke that it is a sports cum performing art combination CCA.
He went for other sports trials and performing art auditions too. Will only know outcome of trials and auditions next week. -

Hi Pen88n,
Seems that most of the CCA are quite \"xiong\"!
In Crescent, some CCA like choir and band are also 3 days in a week!!!
Also, they have PE lesson and Fit Run 4 times a week and we have to buy 4 suit of PE attire!!! -

Not sure about SJI choir. I checked the last SYF on the SYF website, and it showed that they got Gold(with Honours) in the last SYF 2010. I can't find any SJI in SYF 2009... maybe they didn't take part then. -

Choir have to be physically fit to maintain their \"vocal power\", mah. I know my girl used to have their morning jogs in the run-up to SYF.Pen88n:

Secondary and primary schools alternate their SYFs. So the last SYF for secondary school was last year 2011. And 2009 before that. Primary school was 2010. So maybe the SYF gold with honours for SJI was for 2009 or 2011?tisha:

SJI choir started only in 2009. And yes they have won gold in SYF 2011and also some other award at Prague in 2010. There is also a face book page. From it I gathered that they were called for practice on dec 19,20,29,30 etc. Is this how it is with other CCAs too, I mean calling for practice in the holidays. Then how/when to plan family holidays. Actually DS has never been much interested in singing. But ever since being shortlisted for choir he has suddenly taken a fancy to it. I'm worried that his interest may fade away and then he will miss out on the various activities of NCC. A bit difficult to decide. Anyway whether he is finally selected for choir or not is not yet know. This time I really wish the decision making is out of our hands.
