Hi, sindy_tanho, I am at work now, so can't check my kids files, but if I remembered correctly, on the letter page of the school calendar, that was given to our sons early this month, it mentioned AMODE for term 1 and 3.


So no CA1 nowadays. It will be several series of small tests, almost every week from perhaps next week onwards. Sometimes even more than 1 subject in a week.

The tingxie & spelling in some weeks are counted. Then sometimes daily work also counted. Some project work eg science will be counted. Math will be mini tests, sometimes some counting games in the Math Lab. So all the small marks added together to form the CA1 marks. English will be show & tell, recital etc

Thx for the lightning speed reply
Ok understood, more on consistent learning.
Hv a pleasant wk ahead!

You are welcome cherrygal.


For P3, usually 1st & 3rd term's spelling/tingxie are counted. But usually its the 2nd to 6th. Since sch just reopened, the one that your son missed, which is most likely the 1st spelling/tingxie, may not be counted.

Yes, check with teacher better, coz it varies

Hi careermum

Can you share when is CA1 for P3-5?
I can't seem to locate a calendar on the Sch website showing such dates.
Thanks

Does CHS assign points for CCA?

How does that work?
TIA

I see CIP points in the Report Book but not CCA points. IN either case, there is no use for points in primary school.

Phankao, thx for clearing my doubts

Careermum:

Only Sec Sch need to have compulsory CCA coz have points, and very impt bc the 1 or 2 points can be used for deduction of the L1R5 score, which can make a difference betw going to a top JC or just an above average JC.


Pri sch, no official CCA points. Join only for self development, and if good, you can use the CCA for DSA admission to a Sec sch of your choice, depending on whether the CCA that you join is the niche CCA of the Sec sch that you are eyeing for.

So you have to choose the CCA based on what your aim is. Usually 3 scenarios:

1) KS parents eyeing a top Sec sch, then before joining cca, better go to that sec sch's website to find out what their niche cca is. Also, go to that sec sch's website to find out for previous year's DSA, what are the CCA that have a chance to be shortlisted & interviewed by them. Then join those cca regardless of whether your child has interest. During the next few years, make sure your child do well in those cca, get prizes (need to be either interschool or national level), then in mid year of P6, use these stellar results to apply for DSA to the Sec sch of your choice.

2) Just join the CCA that your child is interested in, regardless of whether you will get any good returns from it. To you, your child's happiness is the most impt thing.

3) Your child likes the CCA very much & can perform very well, and derived satisfaction from it, and it can be used a DSA in P6. Then lucky you

Careermum, thx for the clear explanation

Hi,

My DS is moving to CH next year. Can anyone advise what is the top 2 classes in P3? Any mummies with boys gg to class 3 Goodness?

Welcome to CHS

There are no top P3 class(es) this year. Last year's P2s were allocated \"randomly\" to their P3 classes though it did not seem totally random, e.g., group by CCAs, ... etc

Thx Chschs
My DS is offered Sch band for CCA.
Any idea how the CCA point works?
