Basically, only the 1st day of school is more eventful whereby there's briefings by the principal and HODs. If i rem correctly, 2nd and 3rd days onwards, parents are only allowed to gather at the canteen during recess time. Parents are not allowed to stay within school premises from 2nd and 3rd days onwards. Recess is catered for the first 2 weeks. Afterwhich, a P3 buddy is assigned to the P1 for 1 week.

Anyone knows… Does CCA start from p1? What CCAs are available as it seems that most are school team/ by invitation.

Hi, CCA does not start from P1. But P1 students are offered some of the followings as enrichment activities after school:
1. Chess
2. Table Tennis
3. Wushu
4. Track and Field

There are other sports as well but I cannot recall.

There are enrichment activities during curriculum time too. My ds did gymnastics during curriculum time at P1 (not part of PE). There are some IT courses and cooking lesson coming up in term 4.

You may want to choose Choir as NHPS Choir Team Clinched Gold Award in Singapore Youth Festival 2012! Also, our current principal is quite keen in performing arts like Chinese Dance etc.

For sports, you might want to choose Table Tennis or Volleyball (our niche). If you are thinking in line with DSA in P6, then I would like to recomend Table Tennis. Table Tennis being one of the popular sports in top secondary schools. A few of our girls has gained entry into RGS and NYGH via DSA using Table Tennis although they are in mainstream. I would nomally encourage parents to start in P1 or even before P1 as this is the best age to kickstart Table Tennis. If you are interested, you may want to come down for the school training on Monday and Thursday (in term 4) and talk to the coach.

Actually, it all depends on your dd interest. You may want to take a look at the school website for a feel of the CCA in the school. If you need any further clarifications, feel free to drop me a mail.
