Our CCAs

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs)

At YCKSS, CCAs are the heartbeat of holistic development. They are safe spaces where students explore their passions, forge lifelong friendships, and build the resilience of body and mind to grow wholehearted leaders.

CCA Learning Outcomes

Through participating in the CCAs, we help students develop and demonstrate the following:

• Passion

• Leadership and teamwork

• Friendship and a sense of belonging

• Spirit of service to the community

• Knowledge, skills and values related to the students’ chosen CCA

• Core values, social and emotional competencies, and the emerging 21st-century competencies as articulated in MOE’s 21st Century Competencies Framework

CCA Policy

1. CCA participation in school is compulsory for all students in secondary schools. Students are required to be active in at least one CCA. As we strive to meet the diverse needs of the students, there is a quota in the number of members a CCA can offer due to constraint in facilities and/or manpower.

2. A student may opt to participate in more than one CCA to broaden his/her experience, gain more exposure and learn a wider range of skills. Such involvement will be passion-driven and students will not be awarded a higher attainment for the participation in an additional CCA.

3. Continuous involvement in and commitment to the same CCA will be rewarded, and this is reflected through a higher level of attainment assigned to students who stay with the same CCA over the years.

4. All students must attain a minimum of 75% attendance in their 1st CCA in order for points to be computed.

5. The School Band and the National Uniformed Groups, comprising the National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC) and National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) are mandatory CCA for all secondary schools. Students in any one of the mandatory CCA are not permitted to change his/her CCA throughout their secondary school years, except for medical reasons, or once at the end of Secondary 1 or 2.

   • Students who wish to change CCA may opt for a change in CCA at the beginning of each academic year. Each student can only opt for change of CCA once either at the end of Sec One or Sec Two.

   • The number of training sessions ranges from one to two in a week. Note that during peak season of the CCA, training sessions may increase up to three times a week.

CCA Stand Down for Exams

In general, CCAs will stand down 2 weeks before the start of examinations. If there are CCAs still in competitions or completing badge work in UGs, they will stand down immediately after the last day of competition. CCAs will resume after the last day of exams.

Recognition of Students’ Level of Attainment

At the end of the graduating year, students’ co-curricular attainment will be recognised according to Excellent/Good/Fair.

The level of attainment will be converted to a bonus point(s) which can be used for admission to Junior Colleges/ Polytechnics/ Institutes of Technical Education (JC/Poly/ITE).
