Junior Achievement Award (JAA)

Dear Parents,

The Junior Achievement Award (JAA) was conceived to “encourage personal and collective responsibilities in our pupils”. In view of the tremendous benefits, it is strongly encouraged that the P4 pupils participate in this programme.

Your child will be briefed on the necessary information to help him/ her complete the activities but the following will help to provide an overview of the processes which will facilitate parents to help guide their child towards completing the objectives.

Step 1. (Refer to pg. 5 of the booklet). Select your 5 domains (3 from Community Service, Outdoor Adventure, Internationalisation or Family, and 2 from Sports, Aesthetics or Others). Talk and discuss with your child the areas where he/ she is able to fulfil. For detail information on the various requirements and criteria, refer to the booklet (p.g 6 for Community Service, p.g. 10 for Outdoor Adventure … etc). The P4s should be aiming for the ‘Caterpillar’ standard.

Step 2. Discuss with your child how he/ she is going to carry out the activities. Make this an opportunity to talk about organization, leadership and responsibilities. Get your child to lead in the planning and organising of the activity.

Step 3. When the activity is carried out, fill in the space with the necessary information. Referring to the relevant pages in the booklet (e.g. p.g. 8 for Community Service, p.g. 12 for Outdoor Service … etc),. your child will have to include evidences to prove that he/ she has completed the domain/ skill. This can be ascertained in terms of photographs, testimonials, maps … etc

Step 3. Once completed, return the booklet, together with the attached evidences and submit it to his/ her Form Teacher. Your child’s Form Teacher will verify the information and complete p.g. 3 and 4 with your child. The dateline for the P4s is Week 3 of Term 4 (by 1 Oct). All submission must be completed by then.

I hope your child will have a wonderful and enriching learning journey ahead.
