CCA POLICY IN ADSS


CCA Policy CCA participation in school is compulsory for all students

in secondary schools.

The attendance rate for participation will be based on the

attendance of the main CCA. Students are expected to

attain at least 75% attendance rate every year.

Students are strongly encouraged to remain in the same

CCA throughout secondary school as CCA programmes

are designed to be progressive.


CCA Policy Absence from CCA is regarded seriously and students must

produce a Medical Certificate for any absence from CCA

sessions. Letters from parents are accepted on a case by case

basis but the absence will be counted against the student’s

attendance rate.

Medical certificates and/or letters from parents must be

submitted to the CCA teacher in charge by the next school day

after the day of absence.

Absence from CCA without valid reasons is considered as

truancy from school activities.

Demerit points will be issued to students for absence from

CCA without valid reasons provided.


CCA Policy Any requests for a change of CCA will be assessed on a

case by case basis by the school management.

Any requests for a change can only be made at the

beginning of each academic year through the Head of

Department (HOD) for PE & CCA.
