Pancakesandcakes:MMM:[quote=\"ELFandShawol\"]Hello everyone! I am a student, currently 12, waiting for psle results. I really want to get into crescent if I can score that high -.- Mrs Tan, the principal of crescent girls came to my school and introduce crescent to us. She gave me a good impression of crescent and she is so humorous! She is not like my principal, boring, old and stern. May I ask some questions about crescent? 1. Is the school very stress? 2. What subjects can we take at secondary 1? 3.is it cope able? 4. How's the students there? 5. Will overweight students need to take part in health and fitness club or something like that? 6. Is crescent a highly competitive school? 7. How's the CCA there? Any recommendation? 8. I live in Jurong, I know to get to crescent, we need to take mrt till red hill station. After that, how do we walk to the school? 9.last question, I know in this school, we need to buy tablets to study, so, do the school provide any subsidies for poor students? I know the tablet cost around 2200. Please reply me! The last question is the most important. Sorry if I trouble any of you. I am stupid -.-
Hi ELFandShawol,
Good luck for your PSLE. For you to take the initiatve to ask all those questions, you are definitely not stupid. Instead, you are a bright girl who knows what you want.
I believe schools nowadays do provide financial assistance to students who require it. Affordability should not be a barrier for any Singapore students who choose to go to their choice school. I heard Mrs Tan mentioned about financial assistance for overseas immersion trip. But hopefully the existing girls can shed more light on the tablet financial assistance and your other concerns.
During the open house, Mrs Tan jokingly highlighted that CGS is a Government autonomous school which means that schools fees is cheap. Yes, she sounds very down to earth (as in real) and humourous. I also joined the Crescent parents support group on FB and they have very interesting/ good initiative such as uniform recycling. So support is definitely there. So don't worry too much but focus on doing your best.
Yup the financial assistance there is really good. Like for uniforms you definitely don't need to but. The parents would be more that happy to give out the uniforms. And for books you actually can ask like just the seniors to give them to you. Like I actually have my own set of books at home but I ask my seniors for theirs because sometimes the important stuff are highlighted ! If you do want I can pass mine to you ! Just tell me which class will do[/quote]Thanks

If I can get into Crescent, I will look for you. Hehe XD Crescent's Girls are all so kind
