      Thank you. It seems JC afflitations are even worse than Primary affliations for non affliated schools! Then why conduct O-levels ? With IP programs O levels are losing limelights and if afflitation deducts 2 marks , MOE may as well stop conducting the O level exams ... just give admission based on affliaations.
      That's why now many try to get into IP after Sec 2.

      But there is also the Poly route which is not bad also!

        Prefer proper JC route than Poly... dun know what happens in poly ... it is not a proper school with no uniform..everyone dressing up so aggresively...dun know environment is good for study...

        So crux is getting in to Uniform Groups to earn 2 points... Next week is going to be CCA selection ...Time to Coach towards UGs

          My personal opinion is that for Poly - it’s a more ‘specialised’ route meaning if you go to Biz Admin, you will specialise in areas related to

          business, sames as for engineering etc
          For JC, it’s like laying the foundation to enter U and you can still choose
          different combinations, thus enabling the child to have broader choices
          after A levels.
          I feel that youth may change their minds/ambitions and if they enter a Poly course and regret their choice later, it may be a waste of time to start
          all over again. I speak from seeing my friends’ experiences and relatives’ kids.
          Just my 2 cts worth, please contribute your opinions because I feel many
          parents and their kids face such dilemma upon finishing O levels.

            Can I ask a question about CCA.


            Let say you join a CCA on playing guitar. Will that CCA teach you playing guitar from scratch ?

            Thanks

              Sometimes, the CCA teaches from scratch while for some, you must already know how to play. eg, for netball, the non school team teaches from scratch while the school team, you must know how to play already.
              hope it will be of help. what school are you/ your child in? 😎

                  Actually, you don't need to purposely find a CCA for yourself, because during CCA selection, the CCA teachers will ask you to try out then they may spot your talent and ask you to join. 🙂 lol my school right beside you leh, i nanyang(:
