CCA Record is a very important account of your school activities throughout your 4-5 years in Riverside Secondary School. It will also show your capability and involvement when you are applying for tertiary education or a job in the future.
In order for each member to score as many CCA points as possible, the teachers have taken various steps and carefully planned and coordinated numerous activities to fulfill such requirements.
Thus, as members of Infocomm Club, it is compulsory to participate in
AT LEAST ONE COMPETITION A YEAR. This is to ensure that you have at least one point under
Representation of School in a year, thereby having a minimum of four points under
Participation in the LEAPS system.
Up to date, there are only less than 10 members participated in one competition. The previous Reflections Photography Competition has only 5 entries and the latest Free Media Design Competition only has 3 submissions from our club. What about the rest of you who have signed up for the competition? Participation points will only be given when you have
submitted your work, not by signing up.
If you are one of those who have not even submitted one entry for any competition, please take proactive measures to ensure that you have entered at least one competition by submitting your entry ON TIME. You only have a few months till the end of the year to clock your Participation points for this year 2009.
Please also ensure that your
ATTENDANCE DO NOT FALL BELOW 75%. Once attendance falls below 75%, all Participation points accumulated from Sec 1 till now will be wiped out from the system.
Remember that CCA is on
BOTH Wednesday and Friday. If you do not turn up for CCA without a valid reason (no MC or parental letter), it will be considered as truancy. If a member does not turn up for the 4th time, it will be a blue form submitted to HOD CCA. If a member does not turn up for the 6th time, it will be a pink form submitted to HOD CCA.
The count for attendance for
Semester 2 starts afresh starting from
22 May 2009 (Friday). Other than Sec 3 members who are supposed to be doing E-learning that day, all other members who are not present on Friday will need to produce a valid reason. Otherwise it will be taken as truancy. This stance will be enforced very strictly from now on. Latecoming fine still applies. The two-day training during June holidays will also be counted towards attendance in Semester 2.
If you are unsure of anything, please consult Ms Guo or Mrs Tan immediately.

CCA Attendance

Let us emphasize (again) the seriousness of CCA attendance. Absence from CCA is regarded as a very serious offence and it will definitely affect your conduct grade in which will also affect your chances in getting scholarship/bursary awards.
Hence, please inform Ms Guo or Mrs Tan whenever you are absent from CCA and submit a copy of your MC or parental letter (as the main copy needs to be submitted to your form teacher) to either of the two teachers promptly. We need the MC or the letter as a verification. If it is a funeral, please photocopy the death certificate and submit it together with the parental letter. Any other reasons, please seek permission from either of the two teachers
FIRST before leaving the school.
If your friend or classmate in CCA is absent, please be a kind soul and kindly remind him/her regarding this matter.

Dear Juniors,
As Infocomm Club members, I hope that all of you understand and retain this fact in your mind that it is our very basic responsibility to support the school with our services. I am very disturbed by the fact that nobody took photo for this morning's prize presentation.
As members of Infocomm Club, such a CCA which requires high level of professionalism, I cannot believe that you can sit at ease staring at the stage when it is supposed to be our duty to do something about it!
Given the amount of time, I believe that the photos of prize presentation could still have been taken even though the first few would have been missed. Of course in the case whereby there is no duty list, I would not expect normal club members to take action. However, I would like to know what exactly was going through the minds of the committee members at that moment! Committee members, you are the front line of the club. if anything goes wrong, the first ones they will come after is YOU! Then why do you get extra CCA points for when you are not doing your job?
It is especially embarassing that a teacher has to take photos when our school actually has a club to do so. What does it reflect on us as a club as a whole?
I hope that before the duty list is out, the Committee members will look for Ms Guo or Mrs Tan immediately if such a situation occurs again.
After the duty list is out, members will stick closely to their duty and find a replacement before the actual day if you know that you will not be able to do duty.
In conclusion, I hope that such incidents will not occur again. You all can try working with your friends in AV and ask them to inform you if they see prizes of related stuff to be given out in the morning. It will be better if you are also in AV. If you are also in AV and you notice that prizes are going to be given out and that it's not a tuesday or a thursday, PLEASE inform Ms Guo or Mrs Tan at the first instance so that they can find someone to take photos. To end, "Prevention is better then cure". I hope that such incidents will not occur again.
Your Graduating VP cum Photo Head,
Ang Yu Ming
