CCA Matters

Coordinator

Ms Chen Phi Fern (chenpf@hci.edu.sg)

CCA is an integral part of education. With a wide range of CCAs including Sports, Cultural, Visual and Performing Arts, Service and Enrichment, students would have the chance to continue their passion from their secondary school years as well as exploring new activities CCAs also seek to consciously expose students to real-life situations or authentic contexts, to facilitate perspective taking, relationship management and moral action. Structured reflection, guided discovery and facilitative problem-solving will help students to internalise the institution’s core values of Passion, Integrity, Innovation, Empathy and Resilience. Each student is expected to take up at least one CCA during their years in college.
