Secondary School CCA

[VitoRelax]

James Ang:

CCA is another competitive area for top O levels students to fight for the exclusive 2 point bonus to get into a Top JC, besides the HMT 2 point bonus and affiliation 2 point bonus. That's why the COP score to get into Top JC is always 2 points and not all of them can get in because the IP students have priority booking place already. :roll:

But is it mandatory that points must be obtained from all the L,E,A,P,S category ? If yes, then if the student is not a prefect or monitor how to get points ?

By the way, is Prefect in Sec schools something you can choose to join like CCA or are you to be selected by Discipline Master/School ?

Wow, thanks.


I did not know all about these. Luckily I join this forum. Hope it is not too late to catch up on my ignorance.

Q1:
But may I ask about the L-leadership part. Surely not all students will be selected for prefect, right ? So, for those not selected, how to gain points in L ?

Q2:
Is prefect in Sec schools something you can choose to join like CCA or are you to be selected by Discipline Master/School ?

Thanks

For Leadership, as long as your child has a committee role in CCA, they'll get the points. If it's uniform group, they have a certain number of points for certain ranks obtained.

For prefects it's usually on a nominated by peers or teachers basis. Your child can volunteer but there must be teachers/peers who support. Different schools operate differently on this matter.

*E is not for experience but ENRICHMENT. I apologise for the mistake as I'm not in charge of any CCA this year so 'lost touch'.

Thanks mrswongtuition,

Is there a requirement that you must obtain points from all L,E,A,P,S category ?

Or as long as you accumulate 21 points irrespective of category can liao ?

There isn't a minimum to fulfil at least a certain number of points from each category.

Usually schools will plan many activities, enough for the students to fulfil the requirements and get their A1 for CCA if they sign up and attend. For certain schools (like my previous school), the activities are COMPULSORY and everyone will at least get A2 for CCA if they attended and they just needed to contribute a little more to get A1.

Ok, I supposed if we just be supportive of the school program, our kids should be alright, right ?

Just wondering - What is the importance or significance of LEAPS in IP schools, where pupils already have a place in the respective JCs? Would appreciate if anyone could clarify. Thanks.
