@1: I also reach home at almost 7 on CCA days. Except mine is 2 times a week and not 3. Well, there are a lot of sports CCA students in RGS too, if they can cope, i'm sure you can too:) Plus it's not easy to get in!
2)It's ok! You have many more gos in the future. Don't let this affect you too much, i'm sure there are people in the same boat too.
3)You will get the hang of it soon! At first i also wanted to quit 3rd after the 1st lesson, but after a while you will know how/what to study already. Don't talk about quitting yet! I'm sure you can do it eventually.
And what's wrong with the people:O
Yes we seniors love you guys too

just some words of encouragement….. :xedfingers: Always think positively! U are not alone, the entire RGS has been there, done that and still doing it. Rafflesian is one big ship, everyone onboard sailing towards a common journey!..many if not most will reach home after 7pm, sleep at 12am or later, wake up at 5.30am….. it's part of the training towards \"daughters of a better age\" :imcool: stay focus and preserve……... :grphug: -
CCA system is still biasness and loopholes.
dd feedback all interviews were conducted by a teacher and the seniors. some seniors are quite influential even the teachers have to listen to them.
dd’s classmate got into all the 6 CCAs including 2 uniform groups that she chose. Simply because her sister is the ‘second in command’ in one of the uniform groups. All the sisters’ friends were in charge of the other CCA interviews and selections.
Those who have senior sisters have all the benefits and advantages. There is still biasness. -
IP and those who are taking 'O ’ level are using different system in grading, is it?
dd’s friend in St Nick is going to have CA1 next week, similar to primary school system. Whereas RGS using project assignments for grading? -

Oh dear. Did your dd get into the CCA she wanted? She was interested in Guides right?CCA system is still biasness and loopholes.

Dd checked with nearly all her classmates, no one qualified for all the 6 choices. Some waitlist, some didn’t get any response, some get in the one not in favor.
Dd got into her choice.
This classmate of hers is not even a charismatic nor possesses a leadership quality, can pass all 3 uniform group interviews?
Anyhow, thru all these competitiveness, dd learns life experience. -

Maybe that girl has qualities which she hasn't shown to her classmates but shines through during interviews? After all, her classmates have only known her for a month?Dd checked with nearly all her classmates, no one qualified for all the 6 choices.

Anyway your dd got into Guides so that's good for her. I can imagine how upset you would be if she didn't get into Guides. -

I really have to thank you.
Every time I read your posts, it makes me reflect upon myself and better appreciate all the little things in life.
Why can't you just accept that there are girls who are naturally more talented or gifted than your DD? At least your DD has an offer from the CCA of her choice. Why do you still sound so bitter?
My DD has sports training under professional coaches, but like her peers, she had to prove her worth...attend 2 trials and pass the interview. Never once did we take it for granted that she would automatically have an offer from the CCA of her choice. That's fairness for you!
Did you read today's Straits Times? Home, page 4, about this girl who was killed while going to school.
If not for that reckless driver, the girl, same age as our DDs, could have been a student of RGS.
She could have been your DD's classmate!
Sadly, her bright future was cut short!
She was never given the opportunity to mull over her CCA choices...
She would never have the opportunity to enjoy the bitter-sweetness of secondary school life...
And the driver was only jailed for a week!
That is unfairness for you!
Count the little blessings in life!
