CHAPTER 5
CCA & CAS

Design & Innovation Club

The DI Club began 2024 by organising its students into four “ Areas of Focus ”: Coding , Making , Drone , and Robotics . The Coding and Robotics groups typically trained on Mondays , while the Making and Drone groups met on Fridays . Year 1 students were warmly welcomed with a specially designed Orientation Games session , aimed at fostering camaraderie and encouraging interaction among new members .
In addition to competitions , the club introduced a Leadership Programme to develop students ’ leadership skills . Year 2 students were entrusted with responsibilities to mentor their peers , including Year 1 students . This programme covered essential skills such as communication , leadership , delegation , and strategic planning , equipping the students to take on greater challenges in the future .
Orientation
Throughout the year , students actively participated in a variety of competitions , including :
• First Lego League
• SAFMC Cat C2
The DI Club ’ s multifaceted approach to education has successfully blended competition , leadership development , and community engagement , providing students with a holistic and enriching experience .

• H2GP ( Hydrogen Grand Prix )
Several students also had the opportunity to join external programmes such as the Swift Accelerators Programme , Sentinel Programme , and the Scratch Olympiad , further enriching their skills and experiences .
Notably , 2024 saw the DI Club participate in two new competitions : the SAFMC Cat C2 , a first-person view ( FPV ) drone racing event , and the H2GP , a hydrogen-powered remote-control car racing competition sponsored by Chevron . In the H2GP , students showcased their technical expertise by competing in a 4-hour endurance race with their hydrogen-powered cars .
