Still can choose not in the recommended list buy you are wasting the chance. From what I know uniform group not being put in the recommendation list. You may want discuss with your DD or DS to explore it.

My DD too, her CCA choice not in the recommended list! Does it mean she only can choice those in the list?

No. It doesn't mean that your girl can only choose CCA in the recommended list. She can choose any CCA. It's just that her chance of getting into a particular CCA will be higher if she is considered a talent in that CCA.

My girl has been recommended five CCAs. :faint: Now, I am trying to choose a CCA that she is not recommended.

My DD choose Girls' Brigade as her 1st choice, which is not in her recommend list, 2nd choice is Chinese Dance (2nd recommended CCA), 3rd is Chinese Orchestra (1st recommended CCA). Do u think any chance for her to get in Girls' Brigade?

By the way which class your gal in this year

My DD wan to join Girls' Brigade which is not in the list. As a parents of course I'd like her to take Chinese Orchestra, think will help in her DSA ( correct me if im wrong) .

1st recommended does it mean higher chance being selected then 2nd recommended?

Don't think uniform group would be a recommended or so call spot for talent. The 2nd choice & 3rd choice are recommended meaning high chance the school will take in.

As suggest by QMS, if the ECA you really against of no interest it is best not to put inside the selection list.

YYLazymom, I heard from my girl that Girls' Brigade asked students who were interested in joining to write down their names in a list during the CCA Fair. Did your girl do so since she was interested?

Yes, Chinese Orchestra will help her in her DSA in future. Students in Chinese Orchestra need to meet at least twice a week for practice and more frequently if any competition is round the corner.

On the other hand, uniformed group have meetings on Saturdays (perhaps alternate). Are you aware of this?

Based on the choices, your girl will most likely go to Chinese Orchestra.

Hi all, my DS got his cca selection form. Unfortunately, the cca that he wants to choose is not within the recommended list.

Can I check with you, from your experience the previous yrs, how r e chances like to get into his 1st or 2nd choice if they are not within e recommended list?
Thanks!

One CCA teacher told me that, as long as your child is considered a talent in the a particular CCA, he or she will get in to the CCA even if the CCA is last on the selection.

Hence, if there is any particular CCA that your child feels strongly against joining, but has been identified as a talent, you may like to reconsider including this CCA in one of the three. There is a very high possibility that your child will end up in this CCA.

FYI, my boy got into a CCA that was not in his recommended list (not many, to begin with ).

Thanks alot! Im glad this forum is available cos we received e forms on Friday, and e deadline to hand in e forms is on Monday. I feel there is insufficient time for us to chk with e teachers after looking at e recommended list, and prob insufficient time for e teachers to respond to e queries.
Anyway, we've decided to choose 3 ccas that are not in his recommended list. Thanks!

checked from school website aware of that. Think tt is not a issue, wat I concerned is shd I force her choose Chinese Orchestra as her 1st choice then Girls' Brigade? Which is not her fav but she hv talent and more advantages her in DSA or juz go by her wish?

[titank]

Ya in a way if the ECA can help in DSA is good but should not reply on this option. I also have heard that River Valley High take in those can play badminton well at PSLE 200 points. Imagine a huge difference assuming that COP to RVS is 250. Mabe the poor child keep repeating at same level buy play for the school. :lightrod:
