Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary
-
Dimension & Kamom,
Being an old girl, it’s pretty much a ‘no-brainer’ for me. Why would I want to risk applying for a well-known school nearby where I stay when there’s a chance that I still may not be successful. Furthermore, that means I need to do PV duties to increase my chances.
Lastly, affiliation means alot to me. If my child doesn’t do well in her studies, she at least still has a better chance in getting into the secondary school than someone who comes in fresh from another school. I like the idea of my children continuing their secondary life amongst friends they have known for a long time. (Not that we don’t welcome new-comers)
At the end of the day, SCGS is a great school. Not necessarily the best, but I had a wonderful time there and hope my gals will enjoy theirs too! -
jtoh:
SCGS is having dual track - IP and O Levels. The IP program takes in girls solely based on credits and not affiliation. But I am sure the girls taking the O levels track will benefit too.
SCGS bec it's affiliated to a secondary school and is starting an IP programme soon.kamom:
If you have a choice between SCGS and Henry Park, what would you choose?
I am an old girl and my son is in HPPS? I am now considering my girl's option. -
just go for SCGS, reduces lot of stress & white hair !
brand new IP college awaiting her. -
dimension:
Was it hard to decide on scgs? Surely there are other nearby schools u considered too? What made u all decide? Can share? Thanks
Mainly there are no schools near my place that is good. Anyway, SCGS is affliated. -
I sent my dd to SCGS because I was an old girl (am an OLD girl!), even though one of the methodist schools with affiliation all the way to JC is a 5 min walk fr my house. And I have no regrets at all. DD loves the school, loves her CCA, doesn't have any tuition (not even for Chinese!) and is still coping well. And has enough time to watch her favourite Korean drama at 7pm everyday! She also has time to run over to play with our neighbouring kids everyday. But she's someone who can't keep still - just like her mom I suppose
I do volunteer work in my neighbourhood committee (to get to know the neighbours, la) and volunteer in school (to get to network with other mom's). I find it really helps. As a FTWM, sometimes neighbours end up as my ad hoc child minder (and I, theirs, too). And, of course, volunteering in school has innumerable returns - for dd too! -
how many girls score > 250 at SCGS ?
-
Highest T-score is 274. I heard about 20 or 10% scored more than or equal to 260.
