Re CNY celebration - circular is out in EMB re CNY celebration n 20 Jan. Check it out, dear parents.
Quote:
"Dear Gentlemen,
To usher in the Year of the Dragon, we will be having our Chinese New Year School Celebrations this Friday, 20 Jan 2012.
For the uninitiated, there won’t be lessons on that day, but attendance of the concert is compulsory. You will however be allowed to wear your own clothes, and it is expected that you dress up (not down!) in auspicious colours like RED or ORANGE. Wearing of black on that day is strictly not allowed, and you are also expected to wear covered shoes (no slippers or sandals).
As usual, you will assemble at the terraces at 7.20am for flag-raising, and we will have a short customary CNY ceremony thereafter. Be seated at Kah Kee Hall by 8am to await the start of the concert. Familiarise yourselves with the seating arrangement (attached), and look out for your respective class labels at Kah Kee Hall and LT4 (only for Sec 4s).
Ultimately, enjoy yourselves at the concert by fully engaging yourselves in the festivities and performance displays on stage.
In case of wet weather, proceed directly to Kah Kee Hall or LT4 (for Sec 4s) and be seated there by 8am.
At the end of the concert, you are highly encouraged to personally wish your teachers a happy Chinese New Year, and to return to your primary schools to do so as well. "

Does anyone know the cca trial dates this year?
My DS put his name + contact in a few CCAs he's keen to try out...
Yesterday, he received a call re trial for Canoeing - trial dates are 18, 19 & 20 Jan. Meet 2:20pm outside general office. Bring: PE attire (+ an extra set of clothes - DS bringing another set of PE attire), slipper, water bottle, sunblock, towel, ez-link (to take bus to wherever they're going for canoeing trial). All going for Canoeing trial will have a designated place (inside school compound) to put their school bags. I suggest they bring along a recycle bag or a small sling bag to put all those items when travelling out for the canoe trial.. and plastic bag as well, in case of wet clothing.
just now he received a sms + email re trial for Robotic Club - trial dates are 18, 25, 27 Jan & 1 Feb. 2.30pm to 5.30pm. Venue: Training Hub above Gym (near canteen). Bring pen.
That's all I have so far...
Anyone has news, please, from Judo..? Water Polo?
Is the canoeing trial on 20 Jan still on? The trial link to the PDF file does not have a 20 Jan date. -

Do you think we can wear PE T-shirt?
I'm not sure.. I asked DS to try to remember to ask..
The circular also didn't state the going home time for tmrw, checked with DS these few days, he doesn't know.. luckily I have inside news from parents here. heeheehee.. -
DS went for Robotics trial yesterday. There seemed to be more than 100 participants for the first day alone. Apparantly only 10 new members will be admitted into the club. Aiyoh… Why make life so stressful even for CCA ?

Agreed, my ds said waste of time.they ask a lot of questions and he reached home 7pm finished homework around 10.30pm.donu whether to let him go for others trials,it seems like some cca already target on those that are good and close door for those that just want to join in for fun.what is the purpose for the trials??? -
Can any parents share the link to EMB and the userid and password. My DS said he has forgotten about the link and did not want to probe too much as everynight he was drown in his piles of homework and last night complete all his homework by 1am.
He told him his classmate either go school earlier to do homework, or do during recess or inform teacher that he will stay behind after school to complete them. Just to gather some feedback if the same is happening to your DS class. -

DS will also be visiting his primary school after the dismissal too.DS has submitted his chinese laterns yesterday. This morning he brought along 一对春联 to dress up his classroom.
DS confirmed that the dismissal time on this Friday is 10am. He will be visiting his primary school with other Sec 1 HCI boys, 向老师们拜个早年! 恭喜恭喜! :celebrate:
Looks like the boys missed their primary school teachers.

Season:
Unfortunately there is no such thing as joining for fun for secondary school CCAs. Agreed that some trials are completely waste of time. During my DS' year, I rmb that he went for table tennis trials. After waited for one hour, he finally got a chance to play. And after playing for 1/2 hour, he asked his senior how was his chance of getting in. The senior replied: \"Don't know. The coach is not here today\" :stupid:Jeannie12:
