CCA Programme
CCAs are an important part of every Springfielder’s growth. Through shared experiences and purposeful participation, students live out our STRIDE values, discover their interests and strengths, build lasting skills and relationships, and pursue excellence together.
Aims of our CCA Programme
Our programme aims to give a more complete and balanced education. It teaches our pupil through informal instruction, the values of sharing, teamwork co-operation, friendship and other qualities which are essential in character-building for the sake of self and nation-building.
Pupils with special talents or potential in these areas of interests will be nurtured and guided to attain higher levels of achievement and to win glory and honour for themselves, their families and even our nation.
We would like to develop in each of our pupils a life-long skill or an area of interest that he or she could pursue as a life-long recreational activity.
CCA participation is COMPULSORY. All students must have at least one CCA and they are not allowed to change their CCA without the permission of the Principal or HOD/CCA
As required by Ministry of Education’s CCA policy, the School Band, National Cadet Corps (NCC) and the National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) are mandatory CCAs for all secondary schools. Pupils in these CCAs are not permitted t change their CCA during their school years except for medical reasons.
