Hi Individualist,
Hey there ! This year, for lower secondary, if I'm not wrong, mondays and tuesdays are until 1.35pm, thursdays and fridays are until 3.15pm. Assemblies are usually held on wednesdays, the last period, so it depends. If there's assembly, it ends at 3.15pm, if there isn't, school ends at 1.35pm.melteo:
Hi fellow Cedarians,
Yes I am a newbie to CGS...looking forward to the orientation. By the way, may I know what are the school hours like...at least next Wednesday, what time will school end? Are there still early days of school dismissal at 1.45pm?
Ummm...please bear with me for more questions, sorry:
1) Which ccas are twice a week and which ones are once?
2) Are there any house practice days too?
3) Are house practices also for non competitors?
4) When is sports day?
5) CIP involvement, are they usually during school terms or holidays?
Thank you and see you soon!!!
1) Majority of ccas are twice a week except for sports, choir etc which require more training. By right, NPCC and NCC has training once a week but it's usually for very long hours and most of the time, they have extra trainings.
2) I'm assuming house means the different houses for sports day, and no, there's usually no practice unless it's for cheerleading which i think is being cancelled due to the amount of injuries the cheerleaders sustain.
3) No, there's no house practices for non competitors.
4) Sports day usually falls somewhere in July/August.
5) Depending on your cca, some ccas have many opportunities for CIP but you have to find the CIP to do yourself. It can fall in school holidays and during school terms also.
:thankyou: SO SO MUCH for your time to give me such a detailed answer!!! Really appreciate your patience. -
Hi Individualist,
Thanks for your reply. My daughter enjoyed herself yesterday. She said the seniors are wonderful. Wish you do well for your Sec 4 next year. -
Hello parents,school is starting in a week time.I guess is time to start letting your dd learn to wear double layers (2 shirts) at home so that they can adapt to the heat when school starts.As heard from my dd,most students will start wearing their uniform with a shirt (mostly pe attire) inside in secondary school.My dd is starting this practice tomorrow so wonder if any parents will agree and follow my saying.

I think the Pe t shirt can be kept in the school bag and wear them on when Pe comes. The classroom is not air conditioned and thus it will be very hot and especially wear it throughout the day. Your thoughts?

Oh is better to wear a t shirt inside school uniform because this can prevent sweat stain on uniform.The stain is hard to wash away and is not nice when people see the stain on the uniform. -

Hi! I asked my prefect friend and she said that there are 10 classes ( C,H,A,M,P,I,O,N,S,Z) with 4 or 5 ip classes -
Lower sec usually has 2 pe classes + 1 jogging session in a week. It is not encouraged to wear your pe attire underneath (I heard itโs against the rules) and it really gets quite hot because you have to wear a tie too! Try to make an effort to change our of your pe attire after all your pe classes, or if pe is in the morning, wear the attire straight to school. If pe is in the afternoon, change during lunch/recess. You donโt necessarily have to change in the toilet. After a while, everyone is used to each other and change in class instead. Some of my classmates change under the table etc.

Hi all,
My daughter just brought home the school uniform yesterday, after the orientation. Do you all find the material used, especially for the skirt, very thin. I just have the feeling it will tear after a few washes. Is this the normal material used, or is it because of dragon year, so last minute, cannot produce too many, so use poorer quality cloth?
BTW, my daughter also enjoyed the orientation very much. Thank you, seniors, you are all awesome!
