Oh how sweet my kumiko is. sweat.gif

Well, u can always start engaging with co-cu activities. It's not as bad as u think it is. True, it's indeed tiring but profitable (in terms of marks and experience). It's ok to just get involved in the co-cu and not hold any important positions. being a normal member would be ok but please do engage with the activities like camps or charity works. Ur involvement in such activities will help u much in boosting ur co-cu marks. And if u just attend the clubs meetings for once or twice but u get involve in their activities at national level, u can ignore attending the rest of the club meetings as ur attendance will be counted full.

I was once one lazy ass for thise kind of craps. But trust me, it's exciting after u get into it. Back when i was in form 4 and form 5, i went to national camps alot, and i got to make friends. It's seriously exciting to meet new friends and 'makan angin' at the same time. rclxms.gif

Is co-curriculum important? Well, it depends.

If you are trying to get into a local private college, no. Just meet the minimum academic requirements, pay the fees and attend your classes.

If you are applying for a scholarship or trying to get into a public university in Malaysia, yes. The higher your level of participation [national level, international level, etc], the better.

If you are applying to a US university, yes. The more the better, and they also want to see high involvement.

If you are applying to a UK university, not quite as important as if you're trying to get into US unis, but you do at least need to have one or two which are relevant to the course you are applying for for optimum chances of success.

If you are applying for a job or an internship, you only need a few [maybe one to three] to show that you have interests outside of your studies.

Also, do remember that you are not strictly confined to school activities. Attending youth conferences, doing volunteer charity work, etc all also count.

I must add, self-sponsored activities will be counted as well.

Well...Like what you said...joining national level camps can allow you to get some extra koko marks.
Joining scout jamboree is very fun i can say.

off topic : Kumiko is not yours. dude.
But the system changed. Now MOE monitor one's koko marks based on your performance starting form 1 to form 5.

Say my co-cu marks for form 4 and form 5 are the highest of all the co-cu in the 5 years, so that still means the MOE will count my co-cu marks for my Form 4 and Form 5. Hence, it doesn't matter how the system is gonna change. Most importantly, do the best out of the 2 years for the co-cu.

Form 4 and form 5 active, then it's enough for co-curriculum.

Like I said. Just do the best out of ur form 4 and form 5 for ur co-cu. At least get an average of B from the caculation of the 2 years marks. And that should be it.

My class represented my school in a drama competition at district level. There were 5 schools competing, but our team was no where near the 3 places. Might be placed in the 4th or 5th places (which is the last place) sweat.gif Nevertheless, we still had fun and really satisfied with the marks we got for our co-cu. thumbup.gif
