LSCT – Overseas Trips
LSCT Overseas Trips
•Every NP student should have a chance for a subsidised overseas
trip (however please read the fine print)
• Generally, 50% for shorter trips to Malaysia/Indonesia
• Generally, means tested for trips >$500 – so if you are well-off,
you may be not be subsidised at all.
How to sign up?
Read your school e-mails and check the notice boards around the
lifts for instructions.
Note: Not all the trips are open to first year students.
Student Development
LSCT – CCA Points
3 pieces of advice
•Make use of this opportunity to enrich your student life by joining
clubs and groups in LSCT and NP.
•Take part in activities because you like them not because you need to
accumulate points.
•Do not spread yourself too thin by joining too many clubs.
if you really want to strategise…
Student Development
LSCT – CCA Points
Year 1 – participate in many but towards 2nd semester choose one club to
specialise in (club membership only 2 P points)
Year 2 – try to e.g. get into exco or organise events (L points)
join YEP, community service (S points)
represent NP in event (R points – a bit more difficult)
Year 3 – handover to year 2’s, spend a bit more time on studies
Spread out work because points are given for one role per event
e.g. if you are MC, usher, stage crew for an event – still only credited for
one role.
Points are given for responsibility held or degree of representation. Points
are not given for number of hours spent in preparation or work (except for
community service).
