Will the other pupils who aren't a Christian be biased against my daughter due to the fact that she isn't a Christian?

Don't think so lah.

But is your girl going to MGS or SCGS ?

[saffrey]

Haiz…

She wanted to go to MGS at first because she felt that the school was really beautiful. However, my husband objected due to the fact that MGS was a christian school and he felt that the students over there would be biased against her, thus she was forced to give up on MGS. She is currently now studying in SCGS.

Nowdays in Year 2010 already, where got people get discriminated bcos of religion, what more in a school ?

But SCGS is as good lah, if not better. So dont worry

My dd is in MGS SBC program, she doesnt think that people are biased against non-Christians. Biasness or Discrimination is not one of Christian’s teaching.


My hubby and I like MGS for its culture and well-rounded education. My dd qualifies for RGS but we discouraged her from choosing it due to my bad experience with the school during the DSA. Some parents may say we are stupid, but I think education is not all about scoring As, you need to balance, character building is important too. I’m not saying that RGS does not have character building programs (i’m not sure) but I have very bad experience during the DSA which forms my opinion about the culture there (I’m not sharing). I do not want my daughter to grow up in these sorts of environment and thinking that it is fine. (Btw, my daughter was from RGPS)

Can PM me and share the bad experience of RGS's DSA ?

A student of mine is interested in MGS SBC DSA for this year - any inputs to help? What kind of test, interview questions, any other info to guide her? Appreciate your help - TIA

Hi, my daughter is currently in GEP in P6 and she wants to apply for MGS through DSA as that is her original school. May I know the chances of her getting into the SBC in MGS if she is accepted by MGS? By the way, she was in MGS from P1-P3 until GEP and was selected for the SBC and to be a prefect in P3, however she left to participate in the GEP which MGS does not offer. Thanks!

DSA Academic means entry into the SBC program. What are her chances of getting into MGS DSA? Probably good as she is doing well in GEP. I understand DSA academic numbers are quite limited but probably better chance than in years past as MGPS girls from this year on are discouraged from DSA Academic in order not to take up precious DSA quota.

Not sure why your daughter wants to try MGS as it seems to be backtracking after going the GEP path and doing well. If it is to \"try just in case\" one stumbles at other DSAs and PSLE, and can get back into MGS with PSLE (2009 cutoff 250), I would suggest that in worst case, an appeal based on the fact that she was accepted for SBC-Pri and has gone through GEP. The PSLE cutoff into SBC-Sec for SBC-Pri girls is significantly lower than 250.

The only way to enter SBC for outsiders is through DSA (HAST). If she does well in HAST, the school will offer her a place. Bear in mind that MGS is not an IP school so your daughter will have to sit for her Os at the end of 4 years.

Oh, my daughter was originally from MGS and had told me grudgingly on the first day of P4 in a new school that she was going back to MGS once she hit secondary school. Now, she is less bent on going to MGS but is still stubbornly saying that she will apply for MGS. School patriotism, I guess. She always tells me, 'Once an MGS girl, Always an MGS girl.' I'm quite okay with her going to MGS as I myself am an MGS girl.
