Experiences

CCA members go through all the basics skills during the year:

Developing our students

During CCA sessions, members develop their locomotor skills and acquire the 21st century core values through many trials. Through realization of their strength, they can build on and be aware of their weaknesses that they need to work on in order to make improvements.

Growing hearts and minds

Activities conducted during the CCA sessions are geared towards character building and inculcating the values of team spirit, perseverance and self-awareness.
Perseverance and self discipline form an integral part of the CCA as members are able to learn the skills slowly by building up confidence through constant praises after each small achievement. Pupils are aware that constant self-discipline is necessary to prevent any injury during CCA.

Gymnastics leaders are empowered to lead the team should there be any delay in the arrival of the coaches. This provides the opportunity for them.
