KEY INFORMATION
WHENDOCCAsTAKE PLACE?
When you sign up for CCA you will be able to see the day and time it is scheduled, and this will show in your personal calendar on SOCS. CCAs are scheduled into one of these slots:
07:00-09:00 13:15-14:25 16:30-17:30 17:30-18:30
WHEREDOIGOFORMY CCA?
HOWMANYCCAsCANI DO?
CCAs take place across the school site. The location of each CCA will be included in the information provided at sign-up, and will also appear in your SOCS calendar
The great news is you can sign up for as many CCAs as you like, but you need to be responsible for managing a balance between your academic studies and other commitments.
Students in Forms 1 and 2 must sign up for at least 3 CCAs each week, 2 of which must be ‘Sport’ CCAs.
All other students must do at least 2 CCAs each week.
DOIPAYFORCCAs?
The majority of CCAs are free, but some specialist CCAs do have a charge to cover additional expenses such as transport, facilities or certification. You will be able to see which CCAs have an additional cost during sign-up, and this will be added to your account.
CCA SIGNUP
CCAs are organised and managed through the SOCS system, including the sign up process.
Students click on the ‘Pupil’ button to access the system using their school account details.
Parents can also access SOCS through Parent Portal.
When you are in the system, CCAs are organised by days and timeslots. You will only see the CCAs you are eligible for
For example, click on ‘Monday After School’ to see all the CCAs that take place on Mondays between 07:00 and 09:00.
Select the CCAs you would like to do in each slot, indicating your order of preference if there is more than one CCA in that list you are interested in.
You must select ‘No CCA’ in every timeslot - either as your last ‘preference’ or as the only choice from that group (or it will allocate you a CCA)
The system ensures a fair distribution of preferences, so will mostly get your first choice or be prioritised next time for that CCA.
WHAT TYPESOF CCAARE THERE?
WILL THERE BE SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO ME?
There is a huge range of CCAs to choose from, so we have grouped them into 7 broad categories:
