Secondary School CCA
-
mathsparks:
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...
library as cca? no competition how to chalk up points? Aiyah, yours moving on to uni soon, then don fret too much. -
2ppaamm:
Yeah, I also thought that library is the least \"siong\" CCA. No ?
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...mathsparks:
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. -

Why can't she join a music cca then?

O yah! Which one is the most relaxed? No competition, the least tedious, the least attendance required? Logically band, choir, dance are busy ones. Do you know if the ones without SYF central judging are less demanding in sec school?
I made a big mistake putting my older kids in sports CCA. RI was ok, they accept club training, but the girls' school expects them to go for school training even though they train daily in clubs. Wah, really taking up a lot of time... -

Hm... maybe infocomm is good like mathsparks' daughter. Wonder if it is siong... and still can get A1, not bad... -

Too bad... i dunno. my kids are in performing arts and all rather demanding, but they enjoy it.phankao:

Er, taxpayers? Well, I guess school does have the budget for it.phankao:
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.
Yup, paid by taxpayers...the big fish like 2ppaamm....not from puny ones like me :lol: -

Consider it a form of \"baby bonus\", since we were not eligible for any for those kids. haa. -

Talk to the school! In her case, I believe she can be exempted from taking other CCA in school.
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?
My girls primary school doing so for sports. Only need a letter from the coach, club or prove of competition representation and they will add that commitment into her report book.
Just that someone got to keep her record properly and submit to the school to claim the points.
