HI daisyt


just read about the camp. it is not compulsory but students are encouraged to go and those who complete the camp will not need to attend school on the following monday… guess will let ds go. it should be fun…

as for tea ceremony, do u know if we can bring the younger kids along?

i also just found out about the GAT test that they have to take on the first day. why the need to take the test?

as for ccas, they have to join 2. say my son is interested in table tennis and is good enough to be selected, training is on tues, fri and sat. does it mean he can join only table tennis since it already takes up 3 days a week? assuming he joins another sport, say badminton, and he also joins inforcomm, won’t the timing clash since he need to attend both on tues and fridays? need to seek some clarifications as i am confused how the kids can manage 2 ccas when the timings seem to clash with one another …puzzled…

There is no GAT & tea party for dd this year. Something new.

Core CCA (UG or Performing arts) is on Tues and Fri.
Second CCA is termed as IDP (sports), it will fall on Mon, Wed or Thurs. It will not clash.

If a student is selected for Sports as Core CCA, means the training is 3 days and therefore do not need IDP. Just 1 CCA.

Maybe there will be changes again next year, not sure.

If you opt out of the Tea Session, it includes Dialogue session, initiation ceremony and tea reception.

If the award ceremony is on Sunday afternoon, then u can still rush there.
I believe the camp is compulsory. Better check with form-tr on 1st day of sch.

Yeah but I'm attending an AWARD PRESENTATION. Is the camp really that important? ._.

it is the best opportunity for you to bond with your new classmates and make new friends before starting actual lessons.

i am sure you will have lots of fun and will probably regret missing it.

Haha , tea ceremony is not to offer tea to principal. It consists of P's address and dialogue with Y1 parents, initiation ceremony for Y1 students and tea reception for parents. It's on the day the Y1 break camp.
