He calls me this mornning, they know it once they reach school. He is posted to npcc which is the only uniform grp he put. He wants bball. Did your ds choose any sports.

Just wondering if your ds were accepted during the bball trial? Or did he not attended it? Heard to get into bball, height is the key. My ds classmate never play bball in primary school but his height shoot up so much and make him the tallest 'man' in his class . He was given bball. ok to reveal your ds height?

Did your ds classmate choose bbball. How about your ds, did he gets the CCA he wants?[/quote] Suppose so. My ds got one of his choice, scout, and he is quite happy with it. But heard one of the activity day fall on Sat. A waste of travelling time to and fro school.

finally my ds also joined the LEP.
LEP is either on mon or thurs. but mon my ds has psp for aphelion and thur he has 3rd lang.
Does yr ds has the same prob?

my ds has the same problem, we have highlighted the prob to Mdm Bian and was adise to change the schedule for Third Lang, but my ds does not want to change and he told the teacher that he is quitting LEP.

If change to other days, there might be no transport unless you are taking MSP.[/quote]which 3rd lang is yr ds taking? mine is taking french at ghim moh on thurs. this wk he attended the tues class at bishan at 230pm. I tot it is better cos it ends earlier and does not clash with LEP. the only thing is he has no transport to Bishan.

Can someone please enlighten me on what LEP is about? Thanks very much.

LEP = Lang Elective Program offered to student with 260 PSLE result with A* in Chinese and merits in HCL.

Lesson on Mon / Thur afternoon. Full immersion in everything about Chinese is what I will describe LEP in short.

Ok. Thanks very much

Many of my ds's friends get into the CCA that is not in any of their options and those promised a place during the trial were also not posted to the CCA. :?

I wonder how the CCA is allocated. :scratchhead:

[godiva]

My son is in Sec 3 this year and I understand he has to sign up for mother tongue GCE O Level exam.


I thought they only take in Sec 4.

Does anyone know :

1)if this is for CL or HCL?
2)if he is to take the exam again in Sec 4?

Very confused now. And my son also very blur boy.

According to my ds (sec 3) only some were asked to do it this year. IS this optional? But he is not sure for CL. But I thot HCI never cater for this arrangement? Is this something new ? can other sec 3 parents clarify ? Whether it is for all or only some?

it seems that it is very difficult to get offer for sport. Or rather vacancies are limited. It is quite easily get into UG. Anyone has been allocated to club? DS friend just put sport options and no others but still given npcc.

My friend ds has got grade 7 violin and distinction somemore, put string assembly but given ncc. In the end he got to get it thru appealing. What I meant was string assembly is an obvious match but why is he not given it in the first place and has to go thru appeal?

My ds (sec 3) told me it is optional to sign up for CL O Level this year, the teacher encouraged those who are weak in Chinese to sign up. In any case, ALL will take HCL O Level in Sec 4.

My ds's friend Gade 8 violin did not opt for string assembly (tired of it want something different) but given string assembly. :stupid:

It seem that alot did not get the CCA that they actually wants.
