Thanks for the reply, ammonite.


She hates her cca which makes things worse. We have already written to HOD to pull her out from the cca which is not of her choice. However, they are taking a long time to process it and the St John still ask her to attend even though we have written that she wants to quit the cca if there are no vacancies in the cca she prefers.

I think cca commitment gives them some point deduction that will come in handy when applying to poly/jc, so schools are strict about CCA ( parents, pls correct me if I am wrong). It is really about helping them get the maximum point deduction possible. You can encourage her to be positive as she can pick up useful first aid skills that she will definitely be able to use in the future - tell her she can save your life in future etc. The CCA audition does mean that a fair number of kids don't get the CCA of their choice. I am not sure how schools handle cases where the child wants to switch, maybe other parents can shed some light on that.

It may also be that she is not making many friends in her cca, hence her negativity. She probably feels like she is burning up her precious afternoons on something that is not only totally unnecessary but she also hates, and that resentment can be building up along with the workload and fatigue. If you can help her cope better in any of these areas, you should see some improvement. I have found fatigue to be a huge dampener - some kids seem to just take it and sleep anywhere possible and every day is a brand new day; others just stew and it builds up like a thunderstorm. If she seems deeply unhappy and not expressing it well, you can do some activities with her to just help her manage her emotions, be it outdoor or indoor activities...you know, lower the cortisol level and increase the endorphins or oxytocin. I encourage my kids to just go outdoors and play with the neighbours (yes, even the teen!) if it's not too late. I may take them to their favourite restaurants or to cat cafes when they seem to need some extra TLC. I do talk to them about how to make themselves feel better.

The SCGS exit will be ready in 2019.

Last weekend I just drove to Malcom rd.
Need to cross 2 traffic light n a canal to reach stevens mrt entrance.
Actually quite a distance.

Lianhe Zaobao reported that there are plans for a sheltered walkway to the new Stevens MRT underpass, ready in early 2020.

上述长约60米的地下人行通道建成后，学生便能从史蒂芬站直接从地底通到杜尼安路，陆路交通管理局也打算在通道出口建有盖走道，连接到新加坡女子学校和圣若瑟书院的校门前。
