Thank you leelimc. How was your child's interview today? All the best![/quote]

Interview went fine, surprising short, about 10 mins, ask general questions.
DS in general shocked that the questions are simple n general. Good thing is all the stress level is worth it cos he was given a CO next day. Phew! [/quote]

you are one very onz mummy leeven Already thinking about CCAs,

:?: CCAs and Selection / DA VINCI Programme / Einstein+ :?:

Please parents help me with details :please: :please: :please:

1. Do Children need to go for interview/test to get the CCA they are interested.
There will be a CCA fair early Term 1 . Can check /ask questions at the booths. After that you put in your preference with your plus points ( like same CCA in Pri, any certs ect). I think 3 choices (or maybe 5) in order of your preference.

2. Are children allowed to participate in any competitons . How will teh competition details are informed to DC's . what are the competitions for Year 1 - Year 3
You mean Sports competitions, it will depend. Usually in year 1 not likely to represent school team. If school team is not so strong and the child a strong player, may get a chance to represent school.

3. What is DA Vinci Programme . How is children selected for it.
check out the school website for the prog details. All kids have to do it.

4. What is Einstein + . how kids to get join it.
The students will be informed on how and when to apply. If the child is from the primary Einstien club, it helps.

5. How many CCA's they can choose max.
Not sure - think 2. Also depends on how many days in a week is the CCA . Like sports CCA is twice a week usually, not sure about others.

6. Any parent with kid in Gavel Club.
I am sure there are many parents with kid in Gavel club. :rotflmao:
I am also one of them, but dont ask me what goes on...

7. please advise how the activities like. Always see in the forum CCA is :snooze:
Again not so sure, what i see is sweaty smelly Child on CCA days :sick:

leeven : so how does the allocation is happening. based on the certs & past experience. will CCA teachers interview / test kids :?

2. Are children allowed to participate in any competitons . How will teh competition details are informed to DC's . what are the competitions for Year 1 - Year 3

leeven :For Maths / Science Olympiad :?

4. What is Einstein + . how kids to get join it.
The students will be informed on how and when to apply. If the child is from the primary Einstien club, it helps.
leeven : My DS is from Einstien club so he gets auto entry right :?

6. Any parent with kid in Gavel Club.
I am sure there are many parents with kid in Gavel club.
I am also one of them, but dont ask me what goes on...

Other than checking no. of stops, you should check the frequency of the bus as well.

For DD she did not have a trial. Not sure for all CCAs

leeven :For Maths / Science Olympiad :?
All children who whish to apply can apply. I think things like SMO J is by default. Fee deduction is by Giro. Yr1 Maths Olympiad course for Sem1 is open to all.

4. What is Einstein + . how kids to get join it.
The students will be informed on how and when to apply. If the child is from the primary Einstien club, it helps.
leeven : My DS is from Einstien club so he gets auto entry right :?

I think still got to apply , but higher chances.

6. Any parent with kid in Gavel Club.
I am sure there are many parents with kid in Gavel club.
I am also one of them, but dont ask me what goes on...

leeven : was there any audition / test to join this club :?

Dun think so. DD joined this year only as 2nd CCA.
