Based on past experience, my dd and her friends applied via performing arts cca (different cca). Observed both cca had interview right after audition on the same day. In dd case, the teacher in charge called me to tell me she is being offered and ask if we will accept the CO. This was around this time of the year. Heard another mum whose dd DSA using another sports cca had similar calls too.

quote="sneha"]hi honeydew,

TKGS has had good O level results thus the rumour about not preparing the students for exams is really just a rumour.
The school’s testing is rigorous and perhaps even a cut above the rest. the girls in the school study and play hard. very balanced equation and its a rather happy place.
about needing external tuition … well this is really up to the individual. Tuition should only be seeked if the individual is struggling and the need for tuition may be present in any school as long as the individual things he/she needs extra help.
the school has outstanding programs for english, has drama elective in year 2 and many other enrichment programs to develop its girls academically as well as in character. congrats to a new start!![/quote]

My friend whose dd is in Sec 4 told me tt the school will be shifting to a temp school in Bedok in 2016. Is this confirmed? She didn’t really take note of this cos her girl is graduating this year.

2017. It’s under going prime. 3 min away from Bedok mrt.

Are the TKGS+ programme modules available for all students - or only for selected students? If selected students - typically what are the criteria for selection?


Also - does TKGS allow students with no primary school HMT but only A in MT do HMT in secondary?

Would greatly appreciate if some parents can help answer.

Thanks

Hi Parents, :rahrah:

Wanted to know if any of your girl's are traveling from punggol/sengkang to TKGS. It takes almost 70 mins from punggol. There is no school bus from these areas. so I'm thinking we all can arrange a private bus operator or request the school to arrange for transport from these places for one way in the morning.

The plus program is for students who have outstanding results in a subject. Think A*
Higher MT depends on MOE allocation.
