are sec 1's allowed to appeal for change of CCA if they are not posted to one of their interest or perhaps after trying out the CCA for 1 or 2 session , it is not suitable? Any successful cases and how to go about ?

Your dd will have to report to the cca she is posted to and attend it for the year. You can only appeal beginning of next year but chances is slim. Btw, which cca is you dd posted to?

Chinese Drama , though she put it as 2nd choice , after attending 3 sessions , she realised that nothing much has been done and bored.
Her first choice was Dance , as she has ballet background.
Is a pity in secondary school , students don't have much flexibility in the choice of their CCA

She shouldn't have place chinese drama as her 2nd choice if she is not very keen cos chances of getting in is definitely higher than dance. From what I gather, the dance society only recruit about 20 gals every year and the number of gals who sign up for it is way above the number offered. Anyway, things may not be that bad, your gal should give herself more time to get use to it. I believe she will benefit from there as she will have more exposure to the chinese language.

hi,


I have two qns.
Thanks in advance very much - to all mommies who can help reply.



a) I presume not all parents who send the girls here are 100% Catholics.

St Nick is a very good school.
is there any parent from christian Methodist faith who send their girl in here to study?

but how do you cope with the situation - such that daughter doesn’t get confused between Methodist faith and Catholic faith ? can opt out of Mass ?

b) character education.

character building / moulding.
does the school teach “li yi lian chi” ?
can share - how is character education being taught in St Nick?

My daughter's pri school classmate was a Chinese muslim even! Only the catholics are asked to attend Mass.

I don't know how to answer your part (b) even though my daughter is already an \"old girl\" now. haha.

how much is the Secondary school fees now ?


if attend CCA, need to pay ? expensive ?

[khk]

As st nick is a goverment school, school fees + misc s less than $30,(cant remember how much i pay cos it s deducted thru giro).

You will need to pay for some cca (they engage outside instructor), this can be deducted from edusave so need not pay cash at all.
