[quote=\"justsay\"]Anyone has any idea are they still collecting the can tab ? The coffee shop uncle passed me a few thousands, don't know to keep or to throw.

This is the project for last yr? What is the can tab for? :?

Yes, it is a global project. Many schools in Singapore participated too.
They collect the tab for an organisation in Thailand. They will melt the tab, make it into artifical limbs and offer free for the handicap. Some make it into wheelchair. It is difficult to ask ppl to donate cash so this doctor in Thailand came out with this brilliant idea. Only the tabs can be used as it is made of different alloy from the can itself.

Those students who collected 1000 tabs will be awarded with 11 CIP hrs. Minimum CIP hours to clock each year is 6 hrs.[/quote]Wow 11 cip hours for 1000 tabs? Thats alot of tabs and alot of hours. This year only heard of 10kg newspaper=1 hr cip only

Why don't you all get a luggage type bag with wheels? I am not sure, I'll imagine is much more manageable.

HI all


my son who is year 1 has to carry the super thick longman dictionary to and fro school almost every day. even though he has been allocated a locker, he tends to bring it home as he needs to use it for homework. qtn is, can he use online dictionary to do his hw instead of carrying the bulky dictionary everywhere? thks

and speaking about the locker, he waited for an hour to get his keys a few days ago. he is supposed to be dismissed at 2pm but got his keys only at 3pm. don't know why the school has to make the students wait for so long juz to get the keys...any of your kids have the same experience or this only happens in my son's class

My dd also waited until 3pm before she and another 2 classmates were told that their key was not ready yet. Wasted time

Hi daisyt,

Tks for the infor. Die lah, looks like CCas will take up a lot of time no matter what u join.... Now I am not sure Wat Ds should join such that he can balance both studies and cca......

Since all students spend almost the same amt of time on cca, and they can manage, I'm sure your ds can handle too.
Personally, I prefer dd to take up sports, if she is chosen. Very good for her to destress, keep fit, burn calories. For cca that need to use a lot of brain power, do a lot of thinking, then they'll be so so drained. Imagine the whole day in class , after sch, continue to rack the head, wah, so tiring! :shock:

Hi sall, can ask u something? Is it true that Rv students have to take 2 CCas? Can they choose which CCA they want to join?

sall:

Hi Hellokiasu,

Maybe the sch will subscribe for them since they're using? So we can just wait for their trs to get it done?

Okay. :celebrate:
