Secondary School CCA
-
I think the CCA which can easily get points should be those that are very popular and do very well in Competition. My daughter in school team netball for her school and heard can get points deducted, but the time is very consuming. she has to stay back 2-3 times a week especially when competition coming

This you have to confirm with the school. Usually most schools try to help their students in this aspect by also counting in travelling time and prep time. Btw, try to do 100h in Sec 1,2,3 so that in Sec 4 just do the minimum 7h so you can concemtrate on studies. Some of my friends had to skip school this year to attend famine camp for 30hours because they really did not have enough points.
We are overseas. Do you know where I can find a description of what counts as CIP? Eg. Visiting an orphanage I presume can be counted, but what about travelling time there and back if it's in another town? What about preparation time if the kids perform skits, arrange games sessions etc? -
Are the CCA points important only to those taking O level? How about for those doing IP?

I think points aren't important for ip sch students. -

In some schools the cca grade contributes to their final GPA. I think rgs has that. Depends on which ip school you are in. -

No, rgs doesn't do that.8228:

My DS has suddenly lot interest in St John CCA and wanted to change CCA to clubs. Has anyone change CCA at Sec2? Any advise on that?

Your DS will lose all the CCa points gained in Sec 1 and it can be hard work to accumulate points for the remaining 3 years to score well, though not impossible.
Persuade him to stay the course as I gathered from fellow forumners here that Uniform Groups are the easiest to score, but must persevere till Sec 4. -
Not sure how true. He tried to compare with friends that join club and they get more pts than him. The commitment is high for uniform group and he worried that he cannot cope with his studies. And he also claim that his points will not reset as St John is a voluntary CCA unlike NPCC and NCC. However, I have request him to check in detail before making any major decision.
