If I am correct， for other cca, can only change beginning of each year but once u join uniform group, then cannot change because they will reset yr cca point.. I saw from some other tread. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nothingtodo, yr kid sec 1 is it? How is he coping?

hi stsl.
yup my kids is in sec 1. well she enjoy it very much, TF is a nice lady.
how abt urs?

DD also likes school, saw her timetable very busy, comes home later than other classes in most days, so hoping she choose a cca that is not so hectic one.. Not sure if they can cope with so many subjects.

blahblah:

St john is a cca that teaches you first aid, discipline, and builds teamwork among their members. They will also attend many camps, some of which are leadership camps. At least for my school, it is organised mostly by the seniors and teachers aren't really involved in it except that they occassionally drop by to see.


Girl guides is quite a relaxing cca compared to the rest of the ugs such as ncc, npcc. Check out http://www.girlguides.org.sg/

Npcc is quite a good cca since you learn a lot of stuffs others won't really get a chance to try. Check out http://www.npcc.gov.sg/

Many thanks, Blablah. Wondering if you are from CCHS and it is good to see that someone can give some advice to all sec 1 and their clueless parents.

So, can I say that it is fair chance for any uniform group to get good CCA points compare to club and societies since they basically engaged in many actiivities, DD is now quite interested in NPCC, just wondering if it will take up 2 days of staying back in school and long hours of marching?

Guess next Saturday, the CCA day, we would have to check it out at different CCA booths and consider properly as I heard that you are not allow to change CCA if you join UG.

DD cannot decide which CCA to

Choose，would Like to hear your advice. She prefers uniform group, so not sure St John, girl guide or NPCC is more interesting? She heard seniors said girl guide is boring… Is it true? Any one can advise?

DD just got into this school, can someone from this school or any parent know more about this school and can give some advice as to what to expect from this school, heard that teachers usually give out notes and seldom touch the text books? But we already bought all the texts… Doesvthis school do any grading on their students in way of classes? Is it true that some classes are having children who are better in their languages and they group them up together in a class? Are children facing much stress from this school? First time having sec 1 kid studying, a bit worried and excited!

I bought some assessment books from longman as advised by my DD Tuitor. I don’t find many assessment books around unlike PSLE books. Just wondering if they ever have the time to do after all. Any one can advise how to cope with so many subjects ? Currently, I have Chinese Tuitor for DD HML, very worried she cannot cope with other subjects too.

Regarding the COP being wasted, me and DH at first also felt a bit wasted to let my DD choose her dream school of COP 240 while she got a 260. But second thought, we think that if she can perform well and most important thing she likes the school, then that is better to follow her choice. After all, the school she wants to go in is a good school too.

DD has 258 + 2, Chung Cheng main, some friends said why not DHS??? DD scared cannot cope. Me too.
