Please take note of the suggestions, both approved and non approved, especially those in red. All the suggestions have been looked through and carefully pondered upon by Glenna Elizabeth and Chai Lao Shi.

Approved suggestions

  • more games (during PT session)


  • end CCA at 5.30pm


  • No lining up during attendance taking (under the condition that there is no chattering among everyone)


  • allow ear plugs


  • shorter debrief (depends on the things that we have to cover and YOUR performance during CCA but we will try to keep it as short as possible)


  • Use lifts for equipents (dependent on the number of people available to carry the equipments, we will only allow the usage of lift if there is NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE to carry the equipments up)


  • more equipments being brought down (it also depends on all members to be PUNCTUAL so we get enough manpower to bring the equipments, if most of the members are late, there is no way that we can get enough equipments to keep everyone occupied)


  • Do other stuff during CCA/ learn other stuff (this is a very vague suggestion but we will still try to implement it into CCA, you all also suggest on things that you want to do)


  • Promote CCA identity through CCA songs or cheer (we will work on it)


  • Take off shi-ku during debrief


  • Punishments (instilling discipline)


  • Respect jiao lian


  • bring towel


  • furnish DALT room frequently (we will reorganise it and try to furnish it, though there is limited space)


  • Common goal in CCA (we will try to work this out)


  • send letters/ call parents if members don't come for CCA or are constantly late (TAKE NOTE OF THIS DALT-ERS!)


  • Punctuality


  • Change of venue (perhaps to track in the future CCA)


  • synchronized place to put bags (at the back of DALT room)


  • one-to-one heart-to-heart talk to members (in the progress)


  • more competitions/ CIP (working towards it, may be taking part in the coming Drumzout competition which is a drum competion)


  • Don't let members take part in external performance, e.g. jiao lian's (I don't think I force anyone of you to take part in the performances but I tell jiao lian in future not to ask us to participate)


  • interact with juniors and not staying in cliques (will organise bonding sessions/activities)


  • try not to let members quit


  • Glenna don't scold and PMS all the time (OKAY! But on the condition that you all don't do things that make me angry)


  • Let everyone learn lion dance (that is the main reason why most of you are in this cca)


  • Be frank[if members are lousy say they are lousy; if they are good, compliment them](okay!)


  • meritocracy -- can only advance to the next stage if the skill that you are learning is good enough (decided by jiao lian) (you all would then have a goal to work towards to and be more motivated)


Not approved suggestions

  • Don't want to cut nails (It is firstly against the school rules and you may get hurt by scratching yourself if your nails are too long)


  • equal drum and lion dance session (the school has made the decision that lion dance is going to be our focus so it is not possible to have equal drum and lion dance session; lion dance is still going to be our focus but we would be having drum sessions in the coming cca; the reason why we are having lion dance for every week since the beginning of the year is because of the upcoming caiqing)


  • pulling up of shiku (a bad reflection of our CCA if everyone pulls up the shiku)


  • usage of handphones during break (the best way to avoid temptation of using handphones during cca is not to bring it down in the first place)


  • don't want to learn lion dance or da tou (lion dance is going to be our main focus, so it would be necessary for everyone to know the basic of lion dance or da tou even if you can't do it well)


  • one CCA per week (not possible with the fact that we have to learn lion dance and drum, most CCA in nanyang have 2 CCA sessions per week so we are not the only one)


  • new equipments (as much as we would like to have new equipments to play with, there is a limit to our DALT fund and it is not possible for us to buy new equipments this year; perhaps next year when we request for the fund to buy the equipments)


  • Expel people (due to our manpower shortage, we need to keep as many people as possible in our CCA but if there is a need to, we will)


  • Separate lion dance from drum (not possible after discussion with chai lao shi)


Other things that you all should take note of (which is written as suggestion by some members):

  1. pay attention automatically when seniors/teachers are speaking


  2. teamwork


  3. coherence and coordination of shitou and shiwei


  4. practicing lion dance with people who dislike lion dance lowers the previous party's morale alot



I would like everyone to know that as much as we would do to make CCA more interesting and make everyone happy in CCA, there is a limit to how much we can do and I think alot of things can be decided by all of you. You all can decide how CCA can be like: boring; dreading; exciting etc. it is your attitude towards CCA that matters most. You may have tried very hard in the past to like this CCA but in the end still fail to like it, I would like to say that give yourself one more chance to learn to like this CCA again and we would try our very best to help everyone to be hype out during CCA.

YOUR ATTITUDE, NOT YOUR APTITUDE, WILL DETERMINE YOUR ALTITUDE

P.S. I know the last paragraph may not be applicable to all of you but to those of you who know that I'm referring to you, think about what I want to say. To those who are still enthusiastic about CCA, continue to keep your passion going. Thank you for taking time to read this very long post! :D

I shall end this post with this random lion dance photo but i think it is cool, seeing everyone gathering to do lion dance. :D
