Secondary School CCA

[Lynn2010]

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.

Just to add, there should be enough opportunities for a student to obtain enough pts unless the student just did nothing and earn attendance points, skip every opportunity for competition and school representation.

Many thanks for your advice, Lynn2010.
Sure, will google Leaps to find out more about the points system.

My ds will be joining a Club too.
Ds' school allows only one cca and needs to attend the same cca twice a week. So, Uniform groups are out. Imagine marching and marching twice a week....kiri kanan kiri kanan...........unless you are passionate about it, otherwise ...... at least for me, I know I will get nightmares over it

Many students don’t join UGs stating that it is tiring, tough and whatnot.

But I’m from a UG, Girl Guides. Admittingly, GG is not as strict (but still strict) as NPCC or NCC, but I don’t find anyone complaining about the strictness.
I love being in a UG, it is a fresh new experience, and I feel that the experience of being in a UG for a year alr made me a better person. I feel more responsible as a person and also more respectful. A UG maybe tough, but honestly GG was my third choice, but in my heart it was always my first. A UG isn’t that bad, really. Many people of my UG chose GG as their first choice. UG is actually a really enjoyable cca. Many students are scared off by the high level of respect that the UG will command (like not allowed to communicate as friends to the seniors) and also footdrills. But I love footdrills. I love camps. I love the things that I do in my cca. It may be tough alright, but once you’re in it, and your mind is open, then you should be able to enjoy your cca.
I have friends who entered NCC because their other choices were all rejected, but they love it now.
UGs are really, not bad.

Bbee, just remind your son to participate in their competitions when given opportunity and take up leadership positions within if being selected. Some kids just ‘miss or give up’ things like that

Yes, we will go along that way. Hope he will get selected into the clubs that he likes. At the orientation, he was selected for choir. So we will consider this as well. Thanks again and happy lunar new year

Honestly, UG or PA will be easier to gain points of course. But I understand if we force a kid to join an activity he/she doesnt like, it's cruel. They just have to sniff out all opportunities and competitions.

If yr ds doesnt mind choir, it is best of both world. Their performance, SYF, etc will earn pts faster.

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:

Hi, DD had got into her 1st choice of CCA - Chinese/Modern Dance and the CCA will start next week.

Heard that they will also learn things like lion dance too!
