Hi everyone,

My DS is in P6 now. I would like to know how is the environment and culture of CGS, teachers and values the school impart? Is it highly competitive in academic pursuits? How does the school support students who are weaker in terms of academics? Care to share the pros and cons of the school?

CGS is 'All' Girls school. No place for Boys.
For benefit of Other parents, it's probably best school for 'Girls' living in West.
- It is know for strict rules & enforce it with demerit points.
- Quality of teachers for both science & humanities subjects
-Tablet PC program( funded by Info comm) which will make you ready for corporate world earlier. E-mails , e-books
- Sec1 & Sec 2 will be tough, there are strict criteria for taking A maths & Triple science.
- Music Elective program is in running for 5 years.
- Quite good CCA achievements at National levels
- Consideed value-add Schol (from PSLE score to O- level score )
- Strong Alumina... Creates life long belonging to school.
- Most importantly , it will help create Independent individual. Learns to take responsibility of their action.

Flip side.

- No affliation, so bonus point for JC admission doesn't exist.
-No IP program( It is strength actually.,, that make it focus on O level cohort)
- School building is old . Hopefully , it will not move to holding site in near futhure

Hope it helps,

Mobile phone cannot use during school hrs.. cannot be late beyond 7.20... & ofcourse related to home work submission. Every quarter , it should not exceed beyond specified limit & if it does, parents would be notified.
Also, they would tell student at the end of Sec3 whether you will survive upper secondary , but such cases are for only those entered thro' DSA & not academically inclined. I dun think they chase out any students, but school work is demanding & you have to keep up to it. Sec 2 streaming will have three types of classes.
2 -class with triple science-some of them with 9 subjects
1- class with Physics & chem- 8 subjects
3 -Class with Bio Chem- 8 Subjects

Hope it helps,

Hello,

I am a student studying in CGS and just to clarify, the use of mobile phones is allowed during school hours due to the recent change of school rules this year. Now, you can also use your phones anywhere, instead of just the foyer and canteen in the past. However, mobile phones are not to be used inappropriately, eg. during lessons, assemblies etc.

Thank you.
