May I know which tailor you engage? Is it the same uniform supplier company?

Oops, only saw this now. Yes, you get the same tailor that sews the school uniform. Kah Huat at Commonwealth.

Thinking of sending my daughter there, but understand that it is an independent school, the fees are higher. Can someone share how much I would have to pay per month? Also, any other miscellaneous fees on top of that? Or donations to make? Any info would help. Many thanks !

Hi, are you looking to send your daughter to the primary or sec school? The sec school fees are about $200-$300 per month. There are some other costs which include overseas trips and competition trips which parents will have to pay. However, there are need-based bursaries and merit-based scholarships available. Check out SCGS website. Primary school fees are the same as any other pri school.

Hope this helps.

Depending on the trips. Some trips are not compulsory to go. Most of the time, school will subsidise. I can't speak for all CCAs. BTW, at this age, most of the trips are paid co-paid by parents, even for State representatives. Different sports/CCA can be different, but it is the same across all schools. Some schools do pay on behalf of the parents. Few though.

Thanks to 2pppammm for your quick response. I am looking at sec sch. The fees are only $200 plus now, but I can imagine it going up to $400 in like a couple of years! It’s really a lot compared to the normal schools. And that’s just fees. Surely there are stuff to purchase, be it books, notes, fund raising … sigh!

Unlike some other boys' school (I think you know which ones I mean, and my sons belong to those schools), the school does not ask for donations, but there is going to be a funfair and we can buy coupons, not compulsory.

If it is too high, look at the bursaries or scholarships, no deserving girl should be denied of a good education. I know they will definitely help, not only for school fees, but also for all trips if she wants to go.

Alternatively, look at other good schools like St Nicks, they are still charging the non-independent school rates.

For the record, I am very pleased with the way my daughters are respected, treated and loved in SCGS.
