Secondary School CCA

VitoRelax:

Sounds interesting. And they teach you all these for free ?

These courses if taken outside will be quite expensive ...

Sailing courses are not free. I dont remember if it was even subsidised..and we had to buy all those gear too! But IT courses, I think it's subsidised. Best to check with school.

Haiyah, even my kids, who are in performing arts, they have to pay a co-payment fee of like S$100 a year. Ok, lah - not so expensive considering it's per year and can use edusave. Altho' one of my boys was picked to learn an instrument and the school paid for a private instructor for him. Yup, no need to pay extra.

ok, jokes aside. my girl joined sailing in sec1/2..took part in various competitions, then after a close shave in sec2 (first she was knocked on the teeth by the blah blah of the optimist, then her boat was swept off course...scary enough), we got enough reasons to pull her out. And she switched to Infocomm, easy for next 2 years.


So, in addition to putting in >100 hours of cip, she managed to get a1 for her cca..which means 2 bonus points.

Like that, I'm going to put my daughter into library. Air con, can read books, just need to stack books, no sun, no rain, no hard training.... My older daughter suggested that...

2ppaamm, library as cca or cip? cip in community lib must queue up hor. dont say i never warn you. and they always make you shelf books, and if you girl has sensitive nose like mine, you can kiss the lib cip goodbye.


library as cca? no competition how to chalk up points? Aiyah, yours moving on to uni soon, then don fret too much.

O, like that ah... You see, I'm trying to plan an escape route. My daughter has to train 6 times a week with the club, but the school CCA takes so much time, and during the training, she has to train the rest. Don't mind that, but really no time...

During competition months, she trains 9 hours with the states team daily, really have no time to go for school training. I know she will get lots of points for state representation, I just need a very easy CCA, which one har?

Also, if she does not take the CCA she represents country in, will they still give her the points?

No sure leh, this one wants to do music. The audition looks too tough to prepare in a year. I think takes 2 years to prepare, so we have 2 years to 'tong'. Keep her in school, only when the uni accepts her will I withdraw everything. Meanwhile, regular student, must do CCA still. Only 12 mah...

Yeah, I also thought that library is the least \"siong\" CCA. No ?
