Hi everyone,


My wife is an old girl of SCGS (Secondary) but was from RGS (Primary). We have a 3 year old girl that we would like to get into SCGS (Primary). Will my daughter be considered eligible in Phase 2A if that is the case? I heard that since SCGS is a \"Full School\", it doesn't matter whether the mother was SCGS Primary or Secondary, that the daughter will be eligible. Is this correct?

Please help clarify this for me. Thanks!!

You are right. SCGS is a full school so it does not matter if your wife was formerly from the Pri or Sec side. Your daughter will automatically fall into the Phase 2A category.

Hooray!


I just got confirmation from the SCGS Primary school that indeed my daughter is eligible for Phase 2A in view of the fact that my wife was from SCGS Secondary. The school is a \"Full School\" and doesn't make a distinction between whether mother was from Primary or Secondary school.

Phew.....

Why is your reason for not considering RGPS?

I thought the answer is quite obvious. SCGS has an affiliated Sec school.

You need to check with the school bus driver. They normally batch up a few girls, so your dd might have to wait a while if there are others whose CCA ends later. I pay $8 per trip, not sure if that is standard fare.

Tks for the reply. will check with bus operator. For now, DH has to con’t to pick DD up!

Hope you all can help me decide...


I am an old girl of SCGS and I also have a boy from Henry Park. DD is due for P1 registration this year, I am now going thru the thinking process...al your comments and advice are welcomed...

1) Does SCGS has that \"elite\" feel? The \"I am better than you\" attitude?
I have only heard about these but would like to hear the truth

2) Is the school a \"pressure cooker\"? Do the P1s have mid-year exams. HPPS builds the pressure gradually.

3) How many of your girls feel very stressed in the school, not just academically but also socially...

The truth, nothing but the truth.

Thank you :love:
