CCA

All Secondary One students will be required to go online to select a CCA of their choice. They will be asked to make five choices and the school will allocate students according to their talents as well as their preferences.  Please take note that the school will endeavour to allocate the student to one of her five choices. 

Once a Secondary One student has been allocated a particular CCA, she must participate in that CCA for the whole of her first year. She can only request for a change of CCA in the first month of Secondary Two. The timeline of the Sec One CCA Allocation Exercise can be found in the sections below. 

Should there be an instance where a student does not get any of the five choices she made (due to the quota allocated to each CCA), special arrangements will be made and she will be advised personally by the teachers in-charge of CCA registration. 

Please note that while CCA in primary school is optional, CCA in secondary school is compulsory and students’ attendance must be regular.
The school views absence from CCA without a valid reason will be taken seriously. For students whose CCA attendance is less than 75% without a valid reason will receive a “Fair” for conduct in their Holistic Report Card. 

CCAs are generally held on Wednesdays and Fridays after school and will end by 6:00 p.m. Sports & Games and Performing Arts CCAs will generally hold sessions twice a week while Uniformed Groups, Clubs and Societies (except for Debate), once a week. 

Please note that for students who are taking official lessons (e.g. MEP, MTL lessons) at external venues, they should check the days and timings of these lessons with the designated CCA days. They are thus advised to select a CCA that does not coincide with these lessons. 

The objective of the CCA trials and audition is to help identify the talent in our students and develop their potential to the fullest. 

Students are strongly encouraged to attend all five dates reserved for trials/ auditions, on the 8, 15, 17, 22 and 24 January 2025, and they should try out CCAs from at least three of the four different categories (Uniformed Groups, Sports and Games, Performing Arts and Clubs and Societies). 

Details on the trial/auditions for each of the CCAs will be displayed during the CCA fair on Mon, 6 January 2025.
