[quote=\"phtthp\"]for 2019 Sec 1 cohort (born 2006) :

MGS open 3 IB classes, plus 6 O-level classes

Are they likely to mix the kids (O), IP for some classes ? Asking as IP books except English are also O level. Any chance you would know?

No mix - IP covers more topics and additional curriculum.

Classes made up:
* Six Sec-1 Classes : 3 Express & 3 Express (SBA - modelled towards IP curriculum I think)
* Three IP Classes[/quote]
Hi, does anyone know the COP for the SBA Express classes? is selection for the SBA classes strictly on merit?

TIA....

Saw the updated book list --- 1E and 1O are the SBA classes I supposed because they had to purchase the Mentor Mathematics book.

Not sure of COP. My girl who scored 24x is not in 1E or 1O. She has a friend whose score is 23x but is in 1O. Weird. Both girls have affiliation.

There were 3 classes of Sec 1 SBA Express last year ... Sec 1-E/I/O, fyi.

This year only two SBA classes, 1E and 1I.

Dear all,


Do keep a look out for mental health of the youths in our schools. Hoping to bring more awareness to all parents.

As quoted in the Straits Times Article by Cheow Sue Ann on April 12 ,

\"School stress became a hot topic of online discussion recently after someone who identified herself as a 17-year-old International Baccalaureate student in a top school here wrote about her admission to IMH for suicide attempts and a history of depressive episodes.

In her online post, she wrote about facing immense pressure to do well in school and claimed her brother, a junior college student, \"killed himself two years ago, partly due to the pressure from my parents to do well\". She claimed to have met in IMH four other students from top schools who had attempted suicide or harmed themselves because of school stress.\"

Another article titled \"I flunked the IP': Integrated Programme dropout shares his story\" in Dec 30 2018 about the experiences of Mr Edwin Chau who could not cope with the stress of being in the IP.

Do watch out for our children's mental health closely and provide plenty of emotional support for them. More understanding, less stigma please.

To God be the Glory, The Best is Yet to be!

It is depressing to hear about suicide attempts. But how much stress we are experiencing depends on our current life situation. I don’t think we can lower the stress, but we can be more understanding and supportive of our kids. Hopefully that will help them handle life’s challenges better.

Hi all, can anyone share experience on taking DSA under domain music to get in MGS?

Is it difficult to get in via music (Piano)?
How is the audition experience?
Does student need to travel to other place for MEP or is it within school?
My daughter intend to use piano, she really like music and MGS.

Thank you for any sharing!
