Introduction Dear Parents, Our aim of CCA programme is to offer learners the opportunity to participate in programs that support learning and help them flourish. To reflect the approach, our EPC ECA (Extra-Curricular Activity) program has been renamed to CCA (Co-Curricular Activity) this year (Y2020-2021).The CCA programme registration moves very quickly during the busy “return to school period”. Please make sure you read the information carefully to select the activity your child is interested in doing this coming semester. The Enrolment Process: For new parents to TES and parents that need a quick reminder of how the enrolment process works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process: 1. CCA Registration Website – A formal access manual will be sent out in due course and the registration selection page will be viewable on Aug. 19th. 2. Demonstration Video - Choose your CCAs online - walk through enrolment steps 3. Annual CCA Schedule - CCA day / time schedule + activity descriptions (this document) 4. CCA Charter - full procedures and rules of the programme All documents are available on TES website: Student Services Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) Thumbnail overview of the important items related to enrolment: The CCA enrolment is via a “preference ranking system” whereby parents will have an7-day window to input their child’s CCA preferences. The preference ranking system is designed so that parents could discuss with their children what CCAs they like best and then rank them in their preferred order, with the goal that children will be able to participate in a number of CCAs they will enjoy. The AOS payment system has been integrated into the CCA Registration system, allowing payment to be made automatically from your family AOS accounts. Please make sure you have put sufficient funds in your AOS account before you choose the CCAs.
