[quote=\"kitcat\"]Read from newspaper that this year is the 1st year for the year 4 boys to have gap semester, any idea how many students will go overseas and how many will stay in singapore? Will there be many go overseas and which countries will most of the boys go?
quite a number of countries in the region are made available
they have submitted their selection in the past few weeks.....
They will have their interviews this 2 weeks.[/quote]They have been offered very exciting opportunities, some of the industrial attachment could never be found in Singapore -

understand that overseas posting will be in great demand and there are not sufficient places for everyone
some local courses will run multiple times to accommodate all request.
of course some will still choose to stay local
financial assistance will be available for those who need it and who choose overseas and are selected after the selection process

I have concerns about the time management of CCA. My son join the Scout CCA, not only every Monday and Wendesday afternoon, come back home very later than as scheduled shown on notice, but also there are a lot of camp activities on Saturday, Sunday and school holiday. I agree totally the CCA will improve the boys become men, but it is a big issue for insufficient rest and time for studying.
Do you have same concern? -

Today is one of the VERY FEW short days (ends 2.10pm), but there is this meet-the-seniors thingy (I forgot the term for it), so my boy will be home late... again :rant: !I have concerns about the time management of CCA.

Yesterday, my boy reached home about 8pm, after his Choir practice ended about 7+pm...
Sunj1252, at least your DS comes home still can see the sun
... when my DS comes home, ti-or-or (sky black black) already...

Same here, Sunj1252 - I do have the same concerns. My son came home also around 7plus to 8pm on Mon and Wed. And firefly - like you, just when I think finally he can come home early today - he has to attend the meeting with seniors. Worst, tmr (friday) he actually can come home early but he has to stay back for additional BB drills cuz of this Sunday's enrolment service. After that it's Mon to Wed camp! It's like one endless continuous stretch.... And he wants to meet up with his primary 6 friends some more. I wonder if he ever has the time to study.
During the briefing which my dh attended, the teachers stressed the importance of revising what have been taught and reading ahead of lessons. I really don't see how this can be done if CCA takes up soooo...much time. All ds could manage to do or rushed to do is his homework. Hardly anytime left to read up. :rant: -

Tomorrow is indeed a very short day (12.30 release), but DS & his RE group members are visiting an Elder Care Centre to interview the old folks there.Same here, Sunj1252 - I do have the same concerns.

I feel that staying back late in school for projects is justifiable, but meeting up with the seniors seems to be a little far too often... Wonder other Secondary Schools (eg. RGS) have such meetings so often?
