Methodist Girls' School (Primary)

I know of students who have transferred in because they are very good in tennis, swimming, strings or academically.


I think it may vary from year to year?

golf, harp : also niche Cca, at MGS


One of my friends’ daughter could swim very well. MGS wanted to groom her, in swimming. Friend said every morning must wake up 5 am at her condo pool, do a few lap to train for swimming, fast speed. Friend declined to let her girl wake up so early.

Anyone's child going to try for 2019 ?

Any feedback that it will be harder to get in due to dragon year (2012) babies? :rahrah: A scenario where even 2A1 needs balloting!
What do you guys think?

Me! I'm an old girl, alumni and I intend to enroll my daughter into MGS for 2020 intake. I went through the dragon year nightmare with my son this year and we secured a spot at SAJS, thankfully. I hope next year will be easier with 2A(1)...

Hi, would anyone know , for mid stream transfers, is a successful applicant placed in class based on results eg all band 1s hence given space in higher ability class?

Or regardless of result, slotted into the any mixed ability class with space because she is a mid-stream transfer student?

Thank you!

[MommyK]

I know of a few mid-stream transfers who came in based on very good academic results - they naturally went to the higher ability class.


Another transferred in via the CCA route, results are ok - was posted to mixed ability class.
