A Holistic Education for
Merahans - LEAPS 2.0
CCA Orientation 2019
OVERVIEW• Importance of CCA / CCA Policy
• CCAs in BMSS
• CCA Grading System
Importance of CCAs• CCAs : Co-Curricular Activities
• CCAs are a major feature and an integral part of school life.
• CCAs play a major role in the holisticdevelopment of our students.
• Cognitive, Physical / Social, Moral and Aesthetics
Role of CCAs in Education“ Education must nurture the whole child. Apart from
skills and knowledge, children need to cultivate sound
morals, strength of character, healthy habits, team spirit
and an aesthetic appreciation for the world around
them. We want to help our children as individuals
according to their talents and abilities, and to grow into
responsible and committed citizens”
Mr Wee Heng Tin,
Former Director-General of Education
Cont’d“ CCAs play a significant role in the holistic
development of our pupils. CCAs are an integral part of
school curriculum and complements formal education.
CCAs inculcate sound moral values in our pupils. They
build strength of character and foster camaraderie.
CCA programmes in schools offer pupils opportunities
to develop life-long interest/love for a particular
activity be it sports or musical pursuit. This helps pupils to
lead a balanced life in adulthood”
Mr Ong Lye Huat
Former Deputy Director
CCAB
CCA CONFERENCE • “CCAs play an integral role in the education as
they develop life skills that matter long after a student has forgotten his theorems, hypotheses and history”
• “If CCAs have been important in the past, it will be more important in times to come, because it cultivates important key (character) traits our young need to succeed in the complex and changing future”
Tharman Shanmugaratnam
Minister for Education
UGs CONFERENCE • “More than 30% of the total student population in
secondary schools are in the UGs. This is encouraging because the UGs have always been excellent channel for developing our students holistically.”
• “UGs provide diverse and challenging activities …. they nurture minds that keep inquiring, and a willingness to lead and work hard to achieve their dreams.”
Tharman Shanmugaratnam
Minister for Education
Other research
has found that
CCAs enhances
educational
outcomes up to
a point,
especially if
sustained over
time.

Article
The students said that
the opportunity to take
on leadership roles
(NCC) helped boost their
self-confidence.
I was always a quiet girl in primary
school. And I was not doing well in
school, so I guess no one noticed
me. I feel honoured that my
teachers think I am responsible
enough to be a role model for my
juniors. I am more confident too.
He learnt the hard
way that if he does
not put in effort
during practice, the
coach simply
selected another
player more worthy of
a spot in the first
team…
Regular physical
activity in childhood
& adolescence
assists in
socialisation, school
engagement, psycho-
social development
and academic
motivation
