Foreword by Principal

As a school, we want to develop all Josephians not just academically,

but holistically, and CCA has proven to be a key programme in

helping boys discover their strengths and who they are as persons.

Being a boy’s school, the CCAs offered are intended to cater to the

interest of our boys not only in Sports and Scouting, but also in

Performing Arts, Robotics and Chess. The wide offering is intended to

provide each boy with an opportunity to try a few CCAs over time, to

deepen his skills and passion in a specific area, and strive to excel to

the best of his ability.

While CCA is not compulsory in Primary Schools, we do encourage

each boy to take part in a CCA while they are in SJI Junior. CCAs are

an excellent platform to develop the characters of our boys and our

CCA programmes will incorporate the 7 Habits to inculcate values in

each boy. Not only is it also a key platform in developing the 21st

Century Competencies, it is also the place where many boys make

friends for life.

Objectives of CCA

CCA provides for:

Learning and application of moral values

Acquisition and practice of soft skills

Social integration -shared and common experiences for children from different backgrounds and ethnic groups

A safe learning environment where consequences and failure/mistakes are a learning experience

Opportunities for character and leadership development

Lifelong pursuit of interests and greater freedom of outward expression

Timeframe for CCA Work-year 2015-2016

In 2015, CCAs will commence in July 2015 and run till June 2016. This

will allow for better scheduling of our CCAs, which typically feature

major competitions in the first semester, and an off-season period in

the second semester. Through this arrangement, the school seeks to

better cater to the developmental needs of the pupils in our CCA, as

well as better strategize our CCA recruitment and training efforts, to

bring about better results in our CCAs.

From 2016, CCA selection will take place in March 2016 for the

following CCA work-year (July 2016 to June 2017).

CCA Membership and Attendance Policy

From Mid-P1 to Mid-P4 (exploration phase), pupils may try different

CCAs for exposure and to assess their own interests. From Mid-P4 to

Mid-P6 (sharpening phase), pupils are expected to remain in a

particular CCA to develop and hone skills.

Mid-P1 to Mid-P2

Mid-P2 to Mid-P3

Mid-P3 to Mid-P4

Mid-P4 to Mid-P5

Mid-P5 to Mid-P6

Exploration - Pupils may try different CCAs from Mid-P1 to Mid-P3 for exposure and to assess

their own interests

Sharpening - Pupils develop and hone

skills in one CCA from Mid-P4 to Mid-P6

Pupils are not allowed to change CCAs once the programme has

begun; they would have to stay with the CCA throughout the year.

There will also be no refund of CCA fees for pupils who choose to

withdraw from CCA before the end of the work-year.

Each pupil of SJI Junior is only allowed to join one CCA per work year.

All members must attend their training sessions regularly. A

minimum of 80% attendance per term is required. A pupil will not be

penalized if he/she is on Medical Leave or absent with valid reasons.

A letter of excuse or medical certificate must be produced to account

for absence from CCA. Membership and attendance will only be

recorded and reflected in the report book if a pupil attends at least

80% of the total number of sessions.

CCA Costs

CCA programmes in our school are subsidized where possible.

However, we will still require parents to pay for your son’s CCA. This

amount will be used as part of the co-payment for coaching fees,

hiring of venues for training purposes, transport, etc. The indicative

(estimated) amounts are listed in this document but the final

(confirmed) fees will be communicated to you by your son’s CCA

teacher.

Financial assistance will be provided to boys under the Financial

Assistance Scheme.

Transport after CCA sessions

The school has engaged the services of a bus operator committed to

providing a CCA bus for a fee on CCA days. After confirmation of your

son’s CCA day and time, please liaise directly with the bus operator

(RS Transport, TEL: 62886032/ 62866227) in June 2015 to arrange for

the school will allocate each P2 pupil a CCA of his choice should he

not be selected for Robotics.

CCA Selection Exercise via MConline

Please complete the CCA selection on MConline by 25 April 2015 and

select 3 CCAs.

BE SURE: Please consider carefully; once you have submitted your

choice, you cannot edit nor re-submit.

school to make decisions on budgeting, procurement for coaching

services, staff deployment and other logistical arrangements, please

make your CCA selection by the deadline. The school will not be able

to accommodate late requests past the deadline.

NIL RETURN IS REQUIRED: If you do not wish to take up CCA, please

"When I recommended Scouts as a CCA to my son Nicholas at Primary 2, he had no idea what scouting is all about. I told him that Scouts is a uniform group that teaches basic scouting skills with activities tailored to teach young boys life and physical skills, leadership and responsibility, self-reliance, adventure and fun as well as citizenship. "Sounds like fun!" he said. So he signed up as a Scout. The lessons were conducted in fun, interactive ways with games either in their sixes or as a whole group. Hikes, outings and camps made him aware of the environment and allow him to practice self-reliance and leadership. Every Arrow and badge he received is a testament to the progress he made as a scout. Now, 3 years later, he has grown not just physically but intellectually, with leadership skills, self-reliance and responsibility. Awareness of his environment and country. I believe Scouting has made him more aware of his ability, strengths and given him some skill sets for his future endeavours!"

- Angelina Ng, Parent of Nicholas Chng Li Kien from 6 Stephen

Scouting to me is not just working on badges, but also having the

heart and soul to help other people. I joined scouts because of my

father forcing me to, but ever since my first year of scouting in 2012,

I had enjoyed attending every single Scout session, even though

trainings are often tiring. It is also very enjoyable to attend camps

and campfires. Scouting also teaches me many life lessons and gives

me a chance to lead others.

- Ooi Lee Seng, Michael from 6 Joseph
