The Ministry of Education said recently that it is now timely to resume important aspects of school life such as co-curricular activities so as to support holistic student development.
Secondary schools, junior colleges and Millennia Institute will have the option of resuming some CCAs from July 27.
School activities have been progressively resuming over the past two months and physical lessons in schools have resumed at all levels.
MOE said that “Schools will still have flexibility in deciding when activities will resume, while also ensuring that the workload of teachers and students remain manageable.”
CCAs and school activities that will remain suspended include those that involve high levels of body contact, such as taekwondo sparring or rugby scrums, or high exposure to aerosol and splatters, such as the playing of wind instruments or singing in a choir.
Activities involving inter-mingling of students between schools, as well as activities held at external venues, will also not be allowed.
“We will also provide the necessary support to our schools, educators and students, as more aspects of school life gradually resume,” MOE said.
