Singapore Chinese Girls School (Secondary)

Tanlines:

We were impressed with SC including my girl and she had been asking all her friends to apply; but now she has doubts:


1) Someone told SC girls tend to be bullies and during birthdays, girls are pressured/obliged to buy branded goods as presents for their friends.
Never hear such thing happens in my dd's class. Maybe this happens only to that particular clique which she is with.

2) She read Rui En's wiki and quoted \"She took up ballet as a co-curricular activity in Primary Five but gave up in Secondary One, citing the pressure of coming from a wrong socio-economic class as the reason\"
No comment as everyone has different experience.

Now she had the impression that \"something is wrong with SC\". Anyone care to comment soon as we have to make a choice by tommorrow.

Just curious to know what is your final decision?

We had a hard time choosing NJC vs SCGS. Eventually we chose SC. Thanks to the people who had responded; I hope we'd made the right choice!

Better wear primary school uniform. Or you can buy the uniform from the school's uniform provider just before school.

Thanks chief, my dd wore her pri school uniform go for reporting today and I saw most other students did so too. But actually its hard to try on new uniform if they wear the old school uniform, esp with a pinafore. Best is to wear a leotard go, easier to try new uniform haha...

BTW can anyone tell me whats the purpose of applying for a car decal? Do we need one to enter the school or its just for parking in the school ??

Hi Luanne, the car decal is for entry into the school. without that, you will not be able to drive in for pick up or drop off or park for any official events / PTM etc. It changes yearly and there is a different decal for pri & sec school . You will also receive your parent / guardian photo identification pass too. Hope this helps ..
