CCA

Philosophy of CCAs

The Co-Curriculum is integral to the holistic development of students. Through the Co-Curriculum, students are provided with varied and authentic opportunities to develop character and competencies that are specific to and general across CCA, VIA, SLD and ENL. Learning that spans across the co-curricular programmes include core values, social-emotional competencies and the emerging 21st Century Competencies.

With experiential learning as its main delivery mode, learning in the Co-Curriculum is flexible, less scripted but nonetheless purposeful. The quality of the learning process is key to achieving the learning outcomes. Learning is based largely on action and reflection, may be open-ended, and can occur in a range of environments and situations—whether students are serving the community, organising a school event as a student leader, or on the field of competition or the performing stage.

When schools design and deliver a Co-Curriculum that caters to the learning and developmental needs of students, they provide a holistic education for their students. Students will go through reflection segment where teachers will be facilitating the segment in highlighting the teachable moments. Students who show potential leadership qualities will be groomed to be CCA leaders to assist the teachers during the CCA.
