CCA Attainment LEAPS 2.0

LEAPS 2.0

LEAPS 2.0 is a framework to recognise secondary school students’ holistic development. Students will be recognised with levels of attainment in four domains: Participation, Achievement, Leadership and Service.

LEAPS 2.0 DOMAINS

Participation

This domain recognises students’ sustained participation in a school-based Co-Curricular Activities (CCA). Recognition is based on the number of years of participation, exemplary conduct and active contribution to the CCA. Continuous involvement and commitment in the same CCA allows for progressive development of character, skills, knowledge and friendships, and will be accorded higher recognition.

Achievement

This domain recognises the diverse talents and interests of every students. The criteria recognises students’ representation and accomplishment in co-curricular involvements in school as well as external organisations endorsed by the school. Opportunities for representation and accomplishment present valuable learning experiences for students to learn discipline, resilience and develop their character.

Representation refers to being selected and endorsed by the school or an organisation endorsed by the school (e.g. community club or national association) to contribute, perform or compete. It need not be tied to his/her CCA in school.

Accomplishment refers to attaining accolades and awards at competitions, festivals, performances, exhibitions, conferences and symposiums where the student represents the school or other organisations endorsed by the school.

Leadership

This domain recognises students’ leadership development from participation in student leadership modules/workshops to formal leadership appointments or leadership positions in student-initiated/student-led projects in school. Students who take charge of their own learning and development and contribute to the community will also be recognized through the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA).

Service

This domain recognises students’ development as socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community. Every student will contribute at least 6 hours per school year to the community through service activities and Values-In-Action (VIA) projects. Students will be recognised for the time they put into planning, service and reflection, when participating in a VIA project.

Recognition of Students’ Level of Attainment

At the end of the graduating year, students’ co-curricular attainment will be recognised according to the table below. The level of attainment will be converted to bonus point(s) which can be used for admission to Junior Colleges/ Polytechnics/ Institutes of Education (JC/Poly/ITE), according to their individual’s admission criteria.

Co-Curricular Attainment	Details	Bonus Point
