Hi, we just received a letter from the school asking for payment of $220 for table-tennis CCA. We find it very surprising that there is a need to pay for CCA. There was no earlier information on such a practise. Is CCA an optional part of school curriculum?

We signed up for non-competitive table tennis CCA. My boy did not mention a letter requesting payment.

Scary:

Did you try driving past at night? :yikes:


Heard for storage purpose. I also wonder why can't shift earlier initially.

The holding site was a post primary school institution.

I used to walk past it. Decent looking, huge compound with ample basketball courts, but limited car park lots.

I remember the ex-Canadian site underwent some spring cleaning before NYPS settled in.

Maybe the Toh Tuck holding site is larger and needs more time to refreshen up?

MOE needs to obtain x number of tenders before can start work, else kena question left n right by the public as public funds are being used :rotflmao:

Some CCAs hire external coaches, hence the need to charge. But I agree with you - to avoid misunderstanding - it would have been better any fees payable be shared upfront. Mabbe you can feedback to the OIC and see what he says.

Thank you for explaining ... looks like primary school can be quite expensive. Things have changed since our time ...

If want quality, they have to get professional help. if use teacher to teach, they will not be able to provide the best quality or compete with other schools in competitions. Sometimes, they even engage professional to teach the art lesson like my son's class last year....and i don't remember paying extra for the art lesson.

Hi yellow belt,


You have good memory. That's right he didnt do well last year. This year must really buck up

My boy is also joining table-tennis (non-competitive) CCA. He brought home a form yesterday. We were required to pay $180 for 20 sessions. Think there is a difference in the fees charged for P1/P2 versus P3 onwards?
