Secondary School CCA

[Lynn2010]

tisha:

Would also like to know if it is possible to get leadership and CIP points thru performance arts CCA. If not then need to do these seperately?

Under the LEAPS:
L = Leadership (max 12 pts)
- Prefects
- Class/PE monitress
- Sch team captains
- conductors of performing groups
- members of uniformed group
- office-bearers of clubs & societies

S = Service (max 5 pts)
- Community service
- Basic: 6 hr yearly
- 100 hrs (for max pts)

Hope the above helps.

(usually the sch will help)

Another note, eg. even if you do not have Leadership pts, it is possible to get maximum pts in other areas and obtain a distinction in CCA.

I only know it's possible to get distinction for choir CCA bc my dd was in choir in sec school. She went for 3 competitions (overseas + singapore), and was assistant section leader by end of sec 2 and section leader eventually. And she got distinction, which was a grade that was already confirmed by beginning of Sec 4, I think. She didn't even need to do much CIP bc it seems that those CIP hours she'd earlier put in in lower secondary didn't have all that much impact on her final grade as her CCA involvement was more significant.

JUst sharing for Tisha's sake, lah.

Thanks Lynn for the info. Hmm... So there are various opportunities, it is upto the students to make themselves worthy of the positions to gain the points I guess.

Ok, thats good to know, which means no need to gain points under each of the LEAPS.

Yes you are correct. Therefore, like what phankao say, if a child has a lot of Leadership pts (max 12) plus others, then you may not need CIP.

If you want more info on LEAPS and pts for each category, i can post it here. Some students can obtain A1 in Sec 3 already and the pts earn subsequently in Sec 3 or 4 is just quite useless, you go for CCA for the sake of CCA and no longer for pts. For self development.

Lynn2010, could you advise on the points here, please? Or point me to where I can get more info on this.
Tried asking the school ic of CCA, was taken aback when he said if want to get A1 or A2 for CCA, join uniform groups. Clubs & societies won't get you the points. But when I checked with teacher IC of the clubs, they told me no problems in getting distinction if they rep schools in competitions. So a little clueless here. Would like ds to join cca based on his interests, but need to be realistic also as it is all about points/merits in our educational system :sad: hence need to strike a balance. I for one do not believe in just studies and studies, students need to learn other skills as well.
Thank you so much in advance

Hi Bbee, if you do a google search on "LEAPS system cca points", there is an MGS pdf that did a comprehension explanation.


Just to share - My dd was in Club initially and i was so worried that i asked her to join 2 CCA another performing arts. Though she did, after some calculation, she would have got enough pts to score distinction if she did not join the performing arts. Now my dd2 in Sec 1 joins a Club.
