CCA@IJOLN Framework

The Heart of the Framework is a Student-centric, Values-driven CCA programme. Our CCA programme is designed to cater to the interests and abilities of our students, guided by our school values-  Graciousness, Responsibility, Appreciation, Compassion, Integrity and Adaptability (GRACIA) The Circle represents a well - rounded and holistic development of our students through  the 5 domains - Physical, Aesthetic, Socio-Moral, Leadership and Cognitive. Through sustained and active participation in CCAs, our students are able to acquire and demonstrate 21st Century Competencies which will enable them to capitalise on the rich opportunities of the new digital age, while keeping a strong Singapore heartbeat.

Introduction

• The CCA Programme provides students with a platform to discover their interests and talents. Well-organised and implemented, they can fuel in the individual a life-long love for a particular activity, be it a sport or a musical pursuit. This helps the individual to lead a balanced life in adulthood.

• Students progressively develop CCA-specific knowledge, skills, values and attitudes through sustained participation in any of the CCA groups.

• CCA also offer excellent platforms for students to learn core values, social and emotional competencies and the emerging 21st Century Competencies.

• All CCA emphasise social interaction by providing a common space for friendships and social integration amongst students of diverse backgrounds. Through CCA, students develop a sense of identity and belonging to the school.
