CCA Previews ’23: Club Automatica

Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Kang Wendolyn and Esther Woon Sue Ann

Automobile, Automatic, Automation, Automatica… Wait, one of these is not like the other. You may be wondering, what is an “Automatica”? Honestly, we’re also not sure (it has just been that for years!), but we can tell you more about our CCA, and why you should embark on this journey with us as an aspiring roboticist. 

Located opposite “My Rest Space” near the Marymount gate, Automatica is a robotics club with dedicated members who take a keen interest in technology. We meet twice a week, once on Wednesday from 2pm to 6pm and once decided by your team.

CCA Previews ’23: Chamber Ensemble

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Beatrice Lau Kai En (Chairperson), Zhang Yifei (Vice-Chairperson) and Huang Yiyao Casey (Secretary) 

Every Wednesday morning, from 7.45 to 10.45am, a handful of individuals convene at the Indoor Sports Hall for CCA.

Hi! We are Soccer (Girls)! We love to play and have fun!

We’ll come clean. There will be flying balls that  occasionally hit you. There will be times when you get stepped on or kicked by studded boots. And there most definitely will be times when you get shoved so hard you pause to think about what sport you’re actually playing. Nevertheless, there is no greater satisfaction than the sound a football makes as it finds its way into the back of a net and the dumbfounded expressions of your teammates when you score the most absurd goals. (Of course, other than laughing at your batchmates’ most ridiculous falls.)

CCA Previews ’23: Gavel Club

Reading Time: 3 minutes

By Cindy Zheng Yixin (President)

Although our club is named after an iconic object from judicial proceedings, our CCA has nothing to do with law. (Sorry, prospective law students!) However, it does have everything to do with public speaking. If that’s something that sounds terrifying to you, read on! We completely empathise with your fright, and implore you to give our CCA the chance to help turn that fear into a strength!
