Dear All,


As we've not been to Crescent open house. Would like to find out the \"condition\" of the school. From the outside, it looks old, what about the inside? I did see some colorful/ vibrant pics on the school website. Is part of the school renovated?

What about the school band facilities?

What is the \"star\" cca for performing arts in Crescent?

Hi! That's why it's a \"old girls' school\". As the above post, the school has high level of technology, the environment of the school is serene. Do you know we do our Fitt Run and NAPHA run around the canal? It's wonderful :). For the CCA, I'll PM you when I'm free.

Hello I'm actually a student at Crescent now, and I would say that the school is actually in a really good condition except the design flooring haha but most secondary schools are actually the same!

The school band facilities are really good and the band has been performing really well! I am currently in Choir, and I would say all the performing arts CCAs are all really good but practices for all CCAs are tough and long hours too. I wouldn't really say there are any star CCAs because I believe every CCA puts in a lot of effort so it depends on what your child likes!

The school's open house will be in October so do drop by then!

Thanks fadedcolours and genevieve08!


As a parent, it's good to hear happy students speaking up about their school. In addition, some of the information we gathered so far is very positive too eg. the band facilities and condition of band instruments.

My dd is clear that overly competitive environment is not her cup of tea. So far, CGS don't seem to give me this impression. She is also keen on the IT focus in CGS.

We tried out the logistics and it's manageable with the MRT and 111 option.

We've submitted dd's dsa application. Now I am just :xedfingers: that she will be shortlisted for audition. Hopefully one day, I can come to this thread to share about CGS experience as a parent

Will there be an open house at CGS this year? Any information of the date?

Thanks!

Hi All,


Just want to ask if Crescent offers IP? If they are, which JC are they connected to?

Thank you so much.

We went to CGS open house today.


Personally like the principal’s sense of humour and it gave a feeling that the school is indeed the kind of nurturing environment it seek to be. She definitely don’t appear to be those strict, boring principals.

Facilities was better than i expected. Indeed it looked old on the outside (one of the buildings) but the school compound is renovated. Auditorium, dance, interactive, sheltered sports hall, sports field, etc… Didn’t expect to see all these.

The girls were vibrant and happy. The use of technology and it being a future school is impressive. We saw how the sec 1 girls used interactive platforms during science for group disc, etc sure looks like lots of fun.

Having went through the open house today, we are sure this is the place dd wants to spend the next 4 years of her life. The choice is now clear.

Hi MMM,
:hugs: this is how I felt when I attended last year's Open House. Do you still want your DD to opt for band? Was there any other CCA booth there that impressed you?

Hi,

Are you a ksp or student? Did you or your dd eventually end up in CGS?

If so, is the feeling still similar with what you saw at the open house?

I admire the girls' spirit in trying to get visiting girls to visit their booth and join their cca. But my dd has her heart set on band. But cgssb is a good band so there should be no regrets. We are also confident that she will be able to contribute.

Today is the 2nd time i am in the school. It is always a good feeling to see the happy faces and how the girls enjoy themselves.
