4.How many should I do?
Students in Forms 1 & 2 need to do at least two sports CCAs and one non-sport activity per week. You can do more, just as long as it doesn’t interfere with your studies.
Students in Form 3 and above are required to do at least two a week but again, can do more. Please remember, you cannot change your CCAs, you have to stick with your first choices.

1st session: 7:00am-7:45am

There are also training sessions on certain weekday and Saturday mornings.

5.What are the benefits of doing CCAs?

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs)
KTJ has an extensive programme of Co-curricular activities (CCAs). With over 100 to choose from, our students are able to discover lifelong interests and develop essential skills to help them ‘Make It’.
Participation in CCAs help students to make friends, develop new skills, improve their time management, become part of a team, learn the importance of helping other people and develop their leadership skills, amongst many other things.
CCAs are a central part of life at KTJ. KTJ’s mission is to provide a ‘holistic education’, meaning that we expect our students to extend their learning beyond the classroom. There are a wide range of CCAs on offer, and students are encouraged to get fully involved in them.
CCAs cover a wide range of areas, including sports, music, art, drama, public speaking, academic enrichment, hobbies and charitable and community service.
All CCAs are led by teachers and other members of staff, often tapping into particular passions or areas of expertise. Some involve external, visiting teachers and coaches who provide expertise in specialist areas.
Most CCAs are included within the fees, though there is an additional charge for some. Where this is the case, parents will be alerted to the fact and asked to agree before their child commits to the CCA.
Rationale of Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs)
A Co-Curricular Activity [CCA] is an activity that falls outside of the normal realm of the curriculum of the school and is performed out of academic hours or at the weekend.
The objective of CCAs is to encourage the holistic growth of students and allow teachers to develop their professional relationships with students outside of a classroom environment in an enjoyable and fulfilling activity.
CCAs should be a fun and rewarding experience for both students and teachers alike, where both groups have the ability to positively develop skills.
CCAs may be open to all students or to specific groups – depending on the activity. They should not be restricted to a single student, although there may be circumstances when only one participates due to exceptional conditions.
Students can use CCAs to develop existing skills or interests and to explore new activities.
There are three time periods for CCAs –term 1, term 2 and term 3.
Most CCAs will have minimum and maximum numbers for attendance. Those falling below the minimum number may be cancelled after consultation with the students and supervisor.
Students need to be punctual and attend the CCA they have applied for.
Once the CCA programme has started you will not be allowed to change your activities, so please choose carefully!
Participants need to arrive appropriately clothed for the activity and with the correct equipment (if required).
CCAs are an opportunity for students to encourage and assist their peers.
If a student is unable to attend they are required to email the supervising teacher prior to the class taking place and provide a valid reason.
CCAs that are paid for are billed for the number of sessions that are offered. If you miss one then your parent will still be charged.
CCAs that are billed:
Parents will receive an email with a link to a Google Form, the latter of which is required to be returned no later than one week after the CCA fair.
If the form is not returned we will assume parents do not wish their child to participate in the paid for activity. Students will need to commit to a billed activity for the whole term and the charge will reflect this number of sessions. Failure to attend a session does not mean the payment is waived.
Outdoor CCAs
Outdoor CCAs must not continue when the lightning siren has sounded. A twenty-minute rule will apply: if the lightning alarm is still on twenty minutes after the start of the session, then it will be cancelled.
Therefore, the earliest session one will be cancelled is 16:20 and for the second 17:20. If session one is cancelled there is not an automatic assumption that session two will also be lost; a decision needs to be left open until session two is due to start in case the situation changes.

Guitar ensembles like LAGQ and Los Romeros have proven that groups of only guitar can find a wide audience. What draws listeners to these groups? One of the main attraction of the guitar is its variety of tone colours including sound effects such as harmonics, palm mute and percussion.

Usually at the end of every term, the guitar ensemble will be asked to perform few numbers in the school concert.

Musical Development - The guitar ensemble provides an opportunity for guitarist to make music with others, allowing them to improve musical skills like sight-reading, playing in tempo and collaborating in shaping an interpretation.

Opportunities - The group will perform at various school concerts, biennial KTJ Guitar Festival as well as participate in trips such as Thailand International Guitar Festival, Philippine International Guitar Festival & Competition etc.
