Its better foe justsay to answer the 2 CCAs and tea party, i dont have such experience

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.

Btw, what is this tea ceremony about? 敬茶???

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.

If I am not mistaken, GAT stand for General Achievement Test.


It is used by mnay educational institutions to determine how "good" a student is compared to his peers; in Singapore many secondary schools offering the DSA required a student to sit for their GAT.
