What the principal said is only partially true - team bonding. Take for example how many players are there in basketball, badminton CCA compared to the golf CCA? I saw the number of students training in the golf CCA web site is comparable to the others if not more. The main reason is the golf CCA is not producing result for the school unlike the others. This is not aligned to what the government/moe is trying to promote now, healthy activities and not just for medals. Would like to share another CCA brought up by a senior graduating student - chess was merged with other CCA and finally also taken out although there are many students going for it. The school is unwilling to even endorse the chess competition forms (not asking the school to pay but just endorsed so that the student pay lesser). Sad for those who are interested in chess which is considered a brain sport but was forced to out. Looks like have to engage the minister on this issue regarding the choice of CCA in school.

This Maris Stella High School Kiasu Forum is boring and not informative unlike others

Any DS who can play reasonably well in international chess? A good way to train the mind to think. Also can gain points from CCA if you are interested.

Very slow for mshs site by ks parents. Let me share, although MSHS is supposed to be a leader in IT, the web site is not updated and the calendar is most of the time empty. For the past months, I have not gather anything from there. A real waste of time.
