      $80/hr for which grade? A little expensive unless you are talking about teacher who has a degree in music, in SSO etc etc (I think) and the child is in Gr 7 or 8. Which string instrument? (Out of curiosity). My dd in strings.
      Not sure about the qualification of the teacher as it is appointed by the school. The instrument is DB and my dd has just started on that. Personally, I think the charges are a bit expensive but I was told by my friend whose dd is learning violin that string instrument learning is more expensive as it is rare as compared to piano.[/quote]

      Not many DB teachers are there, in Singapore? Is it a Mr Ma?

            Was wondering, i heard that the max amount of CIP hours that can be collected is 100hours for 5 cca points in O levels. So if my daughter were to exceed that, the extra hours won’t be worth anything i presume? No extra cca points?

            HELP please TT.TT
            And if the answer is no extra points, why do some students accumilate up to 400 hours?

              Yes… the max is 100 hours. Therefore if you do 200 hours, there will not be any extra points.


              My dd exceed the 100 hours too. She enjoys CIP. Some students may not know. Also, some schools organise CIP program so that the students can earn CIP points. These activities are sometimes compulsory. So, if you add your own activity plus the school organised CIP hours, you may add up alot.

                  Hi Val,


                  Yes her CIP exceeds and we actually stop recording early Sec 3.

                  Not only her CIP exceeds, her CCA pts also exceeds. As she is in string ensemble, she has many performance, etc. She exceeds the pts when the school won the Gold w honours last year. Of course the max .... 5pts?? or something for that category??

                  I was quite bad to ask her to stop the performance this year, but she told me she enjoys and did it not for pts :). So though most sec 4 in her school stop CCA in Apr, she stops in July bcos of performances. I'm worried but will just let her do whatever she enjoys. After all, we all have only one chance to live in each age.....just enjoy 🙂

                        No… she’s not.


                        Her CIP activity is church activity. School optional CIP activities. Early this year i heard about going to … Rainbow school or something but i’m not sure the status. This is a self initiated one with class & school mates. Not sure if she’ll get CIP pts but like i said she doesnt need any more CIP pts.
