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

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 ?

Are there previous cases that sec 1’s can appeal if they are not posted to the CCA of their choice ? Does the school consider appeal because it will be dreadfull to stay on 4 years in a CCA not of their interest? Any successful cases ?

sall:

It is sad that there are so few places left for sports and performing arts. Some are taken up by students with sports DSA. Indeed true that the CCA chooses the students and not the students choose the CCA.

yes , CCA chooses the students. My daughter was keen on dance with dance background since primary school , but did not get through the second round of audition and cannot join. she was very dissappointed.
Should't school give all students a chance during sec 1 selection ?

Only 6 pupils with 248 were accepted via S1 Posting.

oic , so i think 247 also risky to appeal
