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.

Other firms to make this year's list include Norwegian studio Reiulf Ramstad Architects, Istanbul- based Emre Arolat Architects, Brazilian office Studio MK27, London-based CRAB Studio and Shanghai studio Neri&Hu. The UK has the largest number of projects this year – including a Maggies' Centre for cancer care by Foster + Partners and a treetop walkway by Glen Howells Architects – followed by Australia and Turkey. Winners will be selected from across 32 categories and announced during the festival. One project will go on to win the coveted World Building of the Year title, and another will be named Future Project of the Year. Judges this year include David Chipperfield, Ole Scheeren, Manuelle Gautrand, and BIG's Kai-Uwe Bergmann. Last year the World Building of the Year award went to The Interlace, the "vertical village" designed by Buro Ole Scheeren. Other past winners include a community centre in Vietnam, an art gallery in New Zealand and the Gardens by the Bay tropical park in Singapore. After four years in Singapore, WAF returns to Europe for 2016. It will take place at Arena Berlin, Germany, from 16 to 18 November, in conjunction with the Inside Festival of interior design.
