Hi wormy,

Not difficult, depends on your CCA too. Generally, performance arts or uniform group or any cca that provide opportunities for competition or representing school, you get a lot of pts.

Hi,

DS has DSA into ACSI IP via academics & managed to get CO. Guess I'm now trying to find out more stuff before submitting his acceptance in ~2 weeks' time.

Understand students are required to take up 2 CCAs of which one is a uniformed group. As a DSA student via academics, what is DS commitment? Unlike sports, does it mean he will have to join Maths Club or he can join other CCA? DS is still interested to pursue & participate in Maths-related activities, does ACSI place any focus on Maths competitions?

Thanks.

All ACS(I) students must take up 2 CCAs of which one is a uniformed group unless they are national-level sportsmen. ACS(I) has no academic societies such as a Math Club. However, they may take on commitments such as joining the Math Olympiad team — the closest that ACS(I) gets to academic societies are competitive academic teams. You might say that ACS(I) places a strong focus on competition of any kind.

Hi does anyone know if acsi will be have a end of year open house?

They only have one in May. They also have invitation-only sessions with selected parents.

Hi can I check will there be CCA activities during the year end school holidays for ACSI?

Especially for uniform groups like St John Ambulance ?

Roughly when will that be ?

At the beginning, middle or end of the holidays ?

Generally, all activities are cleared by Week 2 of December. After all, teachers need a break too. Some activities start in the last week of December in preparation for the new school year. Most teachers are happy to get a total of 3 weeks of holiday each year, contrary to the popular belief that teachers have a lot of leave.

Hi Autolycus,
Thanks for the reply. So the next question is then....
a) Is MO team considered one of the CCA? So if DS joins the MO team, that can be considered as his 2nd CCA? ie. Uniform + MO.
b) Is the MO team very competitive? How often do they need to meet up? Do you know what is the selection criteria? DS has participated in NMOS & SMOPS (Silver), Mathlympics (Gold) etc....what is your opinion of his chances to get into the MO team?

Thanks.

It's not called MO team, it's called MCT, math competition team. I'm in MCT, but trainings for different years are conducted separately, so I'm not sure how junior training session is. It's twice a week, 2 hours each session.

Hi Twilight,
Thanks. Have gone to the link. Got my answers. Thank you

The Math and Science Competition Teams are both legitimate CCAs that can be taken as a second CCA and will fulfill the ‘second CCA’ requirement.
