Exactly! Why must CCA be so competitve and whatever gold, silver, bronze in SYF? Sec school CCA has become another stress. It is not based on your interest but more on your strength. I am good in sports doesn't mean I would want to take sports CCA. If I am so keen in sports, I would have go to Sports school. So why am I not given new opportunity to try something different which I might develope the interest later on? I love singing but I might not sing well, why can't I be admitted to choir and learn to sing well?


:goodpost:

And talking about competitive...grrr that totally pissed me off! People likes to ask what one child cca is, just imagine the pop-eye look :yikes: the person gave you when you tell them your child is in the Library. Everything has t be competitve, even the school are not supportive in that dept!

I believe, we should always be open to try new things. No try, how to know you like it or not? No try, how to know if you are good for it or not?

And how about if a particular CCA is not performing well in competition, then remove the CCA? Yes, I have heard of such case. I find this ridiculous!

I have encounter this too!

How about creaming out the best of the best and make them the best best? And leave those not the best ones feel demoralize?

We should cultivate a kind society from school. The good ones, help the weaker ones and learn what is sharing. It is very sad to see young teens to behave selfishly, not willing to help the weaker students, do CIP for the sake of clocking CIP hours. In the first place, what is the purpose of CIP if there is a min hours to clock? I simply cannot understand ...

Yes, I cannot comprehend this part too! And worst still, there are so many umbrellas locally that needs help first, but why are we sending students for overseas CIP??

[daisyt]

Nani, exactly! Paying $1k to go SEA countries to do CIP where many people here need help. I cannot understand the point.


What types of morale are we trying to cultivate our next generation? Are they really sincere when doing CIP?

Actually in order for the public to understand this better, it will be interesting to watch a ‘OurSgconversation’ Live where all the school principals come together with HSK to discuss and share their insight on how this going to work.

Here you go http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/secondary-one-posting/files/secondary-one-posting-english.pdf
Pages G4-G9. MOE doesn't organize the schools by banding. Somebody has to sort it out in an excel sheet.

Or you can check out the cut off points of the secondary schools, organized by yours truly
