CCA Previews ’21: Shooting

Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Raeanne Ong (21S03C), Captain, and Ho Yaan, Claire (21S03J), Vice-Captain

It’s hard to imagine shooting as a sport. After all, the word “shooting” itself likely conjures up images of blockbuster spy films and sophisticated-looking firearms, but in reality, the sport itself is a lot different from what one might imagine. Besides not requiring much physical assertion, it also does not require perfect eyesight (surprise!) or an innately faultless sense of aim. On the contrary, our sport is one which prizes patience and resilience; having no prerequisites apart from a willingness to learn and a penchant for good balance, aim and precision.

CCA Previews ’21: Writers’ Guild

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Nathanael Chan (21A01A), Chairperson and Jade Kong (21A01C), Vice-Chairperson

Writers’ Guild is a CCA that focuses on creative writing and expression, where everyone is given the creative space to vent, reveal, and convey their thoughts, emotions and beliefs. 

Our CCA is held every Monday from 4.30-6.00pm, and the activities are planned and initiated by the EXCO. There are inspiration sessions, when we work individually off prompts (such as songs, short quotes and premises, and moodboards), as well as critique sessions, when we review each others’ works and give comments and feedback. Some of the best pieces will be published on our Writers’ Guild Instagram (@writersguild__), but all of the submitted pieces, after critique and improvement, will be published on our Guild WordPress, which essentially works as an archive. We also work towards submissions for writing competitions such as Commonwealth, Foyle Young poets, and more.
