A Year 4 boy.. Tumour in brain..
Very touching.. I cry buckets each time I read about him (yes, I read more than once)..

A very brave boy.. We are so proud of you..
Rest In Peace, BL.. [/quote]

So sad. The sensitively written tribute to this wonderful boy made me cry too. My heart goes out to his family for the loss of this very fine boy. Rest in peace, BL.

Heard he was sick on yr 2, can go on to yr 4 is an achievement in that circumstances! Guess he must have loved his school very much and missing it, :sad: – RIP, BL.

Firefly, my DS was interested in e Taiwan trip. Haha dunno why also but I saw the itinerary n i must admit that it looks quite fun. But anyway none of the Yr 1 was chosen.


Jtoh, it is a 10-day trip.

Paddy Field, my DS is keen coz 1/3 of his class signed up for it. I think he saw it as a vacation trip with his buddies. Anyway he says that come next year, if they were to indicate interest in the trip again, they will be given priority.

basically for core CCA - certain sports, every one is scheduled to be trialed and sort of ranked/grouped. If you are deemed to fit the sports and has potential, you are encouraged to put it as first choice.


after all the trials for sports and audition for others like choir etc are done, you rank your nine choices online and choices must include selections in every category

the computerised system will process the CCA selection and results will be made know. Hence it is often said it is the CCA that chooses you, not the other way round. Of course there are appeal procedures etc

everyone must have a core CCA, merit CCA are optional
