Do you feel happy about your CCA,and the CCA points you got?
-
---placeholder---
But to start the topic rolling, I have decided to share about mine.
For me, I was happy about my primary school cca (swimming). Back then it was enjoyable.
However, things were totally different for my current secondary school cca (computer club).
Why? It is because in this cca, I found out that there are not much things to do. Then, I have found out that my fellow (younger) members were either idling around in regular meetings, or simply fiddling the computer systems there. Occasionally, when they fiddle, it means I would have to return home much later than I had expected (thence I need to rush at breakneck speeds to a "special" course until recently), as they would not do a perfect job from there. Even worse, I was actually slowly rotting in my CCA (unlike the peak at February this year when I get to participate in more CCA related activities).......so I do not feel very happy about my CCA..............
However, I feel very happy about the CCA points I got. To me, it is a miracle.
Because by now I have 23 points under LEAPS (older ones before 2003 are under PEARLS) that is A2, despite my lack of leadership points.
It was better than I had expected (that is, 20). And that the points I got means I could get 2 pts off my L1R5, thus reducing my stress for O' level (I am taking O' levels this yr.)
So, after reading this passage, how about yours?
Feel free to share!

The failure of education. The joy of CCA does not come from the passion but the points.
But in the jc system, u stay in the cca not because of passion, some other reasons too....
Perhaps, (maybe cos i am in it) is those UG ppl who still continue with their UG CCA .... with passion ... -
Primary School - Scouts
Secondary School - Scouts
Poly - Scout
Now after army still in scouts...
So do you call this passion?
I think it became an addiction. -
The CCA system sucks...
the LEAP system points very hard to get leh, especially those people in clubs and societies, but still, points also very hard to get...
i ahve to every CCA day have to watch out for people who back stab me as everyone is trying to become te chairman or other members of the CCA... competition very high
-
cca points only useful for entering JC..
actually for most B3 is very good..
those good schools gives As to almost everyone.. -

Agreed. Passion is the key to succeed and enjoy yourself in the CCA. As well as learning new skills, you get to know more friends. You may even find your talents while participating in CCA activities/projects.
I'm in a multimedia club right now. It has introduced me to a brand new platform (Macintosh) and my experiences with it has been amazing. It gives me a sense of achievement everytime my video crew rolls out a video we spent days working on. We are all keen to continue improving ourselves by learning new skills and softwares relating to video production. In fact, I'm seriously considering working in the media industry in the future, using the skills and applications I've learnt in my CCA.
My CCA is also in charge of the school's annual talenttime and its a major event, with hundreds of students and members of the public attending the concert every year. I really enjoyed myself in the 4 months of planning for the concert. True, we faced setbacks and have depressions sometimes in our course of work but we learn from each failure and become better. Those bonds forged with my juniors are special, because we've worked together so often, suffering setbacks together and encourage one another to buck up and strive on. Like I've always said, my CCA is my second family.
If not for my CCA, I doubt I'll be able to enter my school each morning with a smile
As for my CCA points... -
