Hi, I used to be in infocomm club in Sec School. I was not a chairperson etc (I am only an exco), but my CIP hours are more than 100. I managed to get 25 leap points for 4 years, which was an A1 grade for CCA. So, it was still possible to score A1 even in club and society CCA

Thanks for sharing.Wonder what did you do for your CIP?

I was actively involve in CIP activities that my CCA provides (such as helping up in the technical area during an event), and I also participated in various flag days (which was actually offered to my school cohort) as well as class CIP. Our school expected all of us to reach at least 100 CIP hours, so it was quite naturally that all of us would achieve that given that so many opportunities were available.

:thankyou:

Not all schools offer the famine programme. Is a camp where the students will experience how is it like without food for a period of time, to allow them to understand how the children in less developed countries feel when they are in starvation. I know Ngee Ann Poly does have this prog.

:thankyou:

sigh!..all for the sake of the 2 points, so generally most students will target to get that 2 points in a way, if not will be in a "losing start"… ;-(

Hi I think you're mistaken. It's not offered by schools, it's offered by an organisation. You only need your school's permission to take part (because sometimes it's on a weekday where you actually supposed to go to school).

Hi my son went for the cca trials and got into ‘shooting’. Is shooting a good sport? Not sure if we should appeal for tennis? He was short listed but did not get in tho he took tennis lessons for 2 years but mediocre.

Sorry, as I heard this programme from a friend who participated in it, so I was npt thoroughly clear about the details. But if I am not wrong, the participamt does need to bear the cost of the camp fee right if one goes? Since I heard from my friend that for her case, it is her poly that bears the full cost of the camp.[/quote]Yup there's a fee, and when my friends went they paid themselves...
