Hi,
I am interested to find out the pace of instruction inPLMGS Sec school.
I have spoken to many friends whose kids are in the top tier schools and many tell me lessons are very fast paced and many a times the student does not understand the lesson.
What is the system like in PLMGS?
How are the teachers ?
Thank you
I am also interested to find out the pace of lessons. My DD is in PLMGS Primary so she say as long as she get below 245 will go to PLMGSS. Her marks are around that range so there is a extremely high chance of coming here. Also, How many classes are there in each level and what are the number of students per class?
I would also like to find out if the demand for students joining band is high. if my dd has no musical background in band instruments but has piano background, what are the chances of her getting into band?
Lastly, are the seniors friendly and helpful there? Are there any bullies too?
It will be nice if a PLite can answer these queries.
TIA -
My DD graduated from paya lebar MGS last year. Our experience has been positive. Teachers are very caring. During the period running up to O levels, the teachers will be rostered to stay back and accompany students who need to study in school till about 9 pm. They also thoughtfully prepared food/snacks for the girls in case they were hungry. I would strongly recommend this school to any parent considering it.

I am a PLlite and I can say that the seniors are really kind and caring and joining Uniform Groups cca is a great help if your daughter is a shy girl. I was once like that but I have learnt how to step out of my comfort zone by joining my current cca NPCC. I have to say that there are physical trainings to improve our stamina for our various activities and are also recreational games occasionally. There aren’t any bullies but might have rude students, normally from the same batch but it doesn’t really matter. For your other questions, there will be an average of 40 students per class whereas NT class might have lesser students and depending on every year, how the system goes, there will be 8 classes. Usually, based on my own experience, it is easy to get accepted into band and if a student were to learn a new instrument, the seniors and instructor would help.

Hello parents, Im a student from PL and to answer your question about the pace of lessons, yes it is quite fast, however, If your daughter pays close attention in class, takes notes and revises at home, she would have no problems in school. If your daughter still has questions regarding school work, there is consultation sessions on Thursdays from 2.10 to 3.10. Your daughter will be able to meet specific subject teachers at specific locations and get help from her teachers. There are 8 classes in each level , 6 Express, 1 NA and 1 NTand there is a average number of 40 students for each class . According to my friend in Band CCA, no musical background is required, however the chance of getting into band may increase if your child has her talent identified in the talent identification . As a student, yes. I would say the seniors are nice and friendly, and no, there are no bullies, however there are some rude students which don’t really mean any harm. And yes the teachers are caring. We have pastoral care every Monday morning where we get to meet and talk to our form and co-form teacher , cell- group (prayer group) every Thursday before consultation where the teacher pray for us (not compulsory) and LiVE lessons every Friday where we spend time with our form and co-form teacher.

My DD is in Sec 4 this year. I would like to express my gratitude to this marvelous school for nurturing my DD to be a responsible and driven young lady.
I particularly likes its Christian environment and culture. My DD has been keeping the little notes with biblical verses given by her class and cca teachers which were to encourage the girls to lean upon God during the trying exam periods. :imanangel:
I like the idea of getting the girls to play and work during the school holidays as their common tests are set after the holidays. This provides ample time for them to prepare for the tests and fully 'utilise' the holidays.
I appreciate the tremendous effort put in by the Chinese Language teachers for conducting the very intensive chinese lessons immediately after the 1st prelim (8am to 2/3pm daily and is still ongoing). This is to prepare the girls for this coming June O levels CL exam. I heard that many of the teachers have to sacrifice sleep so as to mark the many assessments and compos done by the pupils in school (and at home). :salute:
Thank you very much to the junior(s) who left titbits and encouragement notes in the hall for all the S4 yesterday. :love:
It's also very thoughtful of the principal to cancel all overseas trips so far to ensure the safety of the girls, in view of recent mishaps and diseases outbreak.
In conclusion, PLMGS is a wonderful school. :rahrah: -

My DD has been receiving brochures from all the Polytechnics in SG by mails now and then. I presume the names and addresses are given either by PL or MOE.
Perhaps there are other reasons like time constraint for such events to be held in sch instead of the sch's preference for JC.
