Pupils will go through a CCA trial during first two weeks of P3 to assess if they are suitable or has the potential for some of the niche CCAs. If they are chosen, they will be offered the CCA. Heard from my DD, she tried Tennis, Choir, Netball and I can’t remember what else. Oh… and this year, they introduced Swimming as CCA too!

Is there such a trial? Have not heard of or did my DD go thru any trial at all. She is in P3 this yr....when through the CCA online selection only, selected 6 option & she got her 1st Choice for Speech & Drama. She is also involves in Tap Dance since P1...so we thought we should let her continue....

That’s weird. My dd did. She even hurt her little finger while trying out for netball. She told me those who had potential would be given a letter.


I wanted her to try speech and drama too! But she prefer art club and got in. I guess cos ur dd already has a cca thus there’s no need to go for trials? Art club is my dd’s one and only cca.

Oh, she’s in P3cherry. How about ur gal?

My gal is in P3 Angsana, she loves Art too but after discussion with her, we decided to select S&D. P1&2 my DD was in Jacaranda, how about yr girl? Is she taking Higher Chinese? Mine is normal Chinese...

You know, I have not yet given it a thought! I must start researching the options now, though. My dd is not very physically strong; she may prefer speech & drama or some such CCA.

Yeah, got to start browsing thru the options soon hor as time passes by so fast. I saw from sch website that some CCA r quite \"hot\" and the students will have to go thru selections or balloting.

[kids_r_innocent]

Any parents know when the students will be allocated to take normal Chinese or higher Chinese. Will that happen when they r in P3?

[Maozai]

Mr Bean, my dd was in P1 and 2 Acacia. Her form teacher was Mrs Gopal who is the S&D teacher.


She's also taking normal Chinese. Her Chinese CMI. Hai~ Thinking of sending her for Chinese enrichment classes.

Kids_r_innocent, I have no idea on the higher Chinese allocation. Maybe another parent can enlighten us?

Not sure . I asked my DD she also couldn't tell.
However I read the principal's feb letter to parents and it mentioned PAL is starting in feb. So I am not sure whether it has started.
Anyway which class is your DD in? Mine in 1 Clematis.
