CCA

Today, during assembly, Dr. Hon was giving us a talk about the allocation of funds for the various CCAs, while also speaking about how to write in a way that will not unintentionally offend anyone. Back to point, about the allocation of CCA funds, he said that some CCA needs more money to function. He also stated that the school does not favour any one CCA over another. Therefore the funds are allocated based on the needs of the CCA.

While I agree with all of what he said, I have heard from my library senior that there is a "cap" on how many members can join the CCA at one time. I understand that this is put in place as a CCA can only have that many students at one time. However, in my CCA, library, I believe that we are more than capable and willing to accept more members. Our cap is at 5 students. Last year, our Sec 4 seniors left and leaving a really large gap in manpower. The reason to that is that because there were 18 of them.
Last year, we managed to function efficiently and serve all the students who were at the library to either borrow books, study in peace or just relax.

However, this year our resources are being stretched thin. Occasionally, on normal duty days, there may not be enough librarians on duty to man the counter. This is due to the need to tidy up shelves on the second floor as books are frequently placed on the wrong shelves or even on the tables, expecting us to clear up after them.

There are supposedly two ways around to alleviate this problem. One, raise the cap. Secondly, we could try to educate the students to return the books to the correct shelves. However, we have tried, with little success. So the apparent solution is to raise the cap.

Bless be to all of us.
