hi parents,
Good to know that there is an active thread for CGSS

Can I check if you are planning to get a new laptop for your girl and if this is needed in the Cedar curriculum?

I am thinking of getting one for my girl, still considering what is the most suitable brand and model

I got MacBook Air for my girl since she was in P6. She is sec 3 this year. It's very good laptop. You can consider.
Recommendation from school.

Fully agreed. MacAir is reliable and light. My girl used it since Sec1 till JC. No issue.

Would you prefer crescent girls or cedar girls? Both have more than 1h travelling time, but overall I heard that students and teachers are great, learning facilities are good and O-level results are excellent.

Cedar girls is one of the schools my child is looking to apply under DSA - leadership
Understand the student will need to join a CCA in addition to Social Innovation.
As the CCA my child is looking at is like about 3 times a week, any parents or students can help advise how many days does Social Innovation take up in a week?

Thanks!

Hello I see only Social Innovation & Sports in their website.. I don't see Leadership. any idea how to apply? under Social innovation?

Thanks

Hi all, I have a few questions about the sch

1. Is social innovation programme demanding? Do they need to stay back in sch more than once a week?
2. What are the books used for sec 1 literature?
3. Is it hard to transfer from O level programme to Ip prog at the end of sec 2?

Thanks!

Hello! Not sure if my reply is still needed, but anyway I am a sec 2 student in Cedar.

1. I entered Cedar through DSA-SI and yes, it is demanding, but the stress does range from what activities your child is selected to participate in through SI. I am not sure about the others, but in sec 1 and 2, I participated in the Shell NXplorers competition which involves a lot of STEM skills and is rather demanding. However, if your child has good self-discipline, with the help of the teacher mentors, it should be okay. You do have to prepared to handle some small breakdowns here and there, though!
2. Novel: Wonder by R.J. Palacio, poetry: Little Things (anthology of mostly local poetry)
3. If your child is consistent with her revision and pays attention in class, it shouldn't be too big an issue. Sec 2 will be the more intense and content-heavy year, so if your child would like to go to the IP programme, she has to be very consistent in her revision. If you're wondering about the criteria to transfer, the opportunity is given to the top 20% of the cohort (around 150 students in the O-level cohort, so about 30 students) which is not too hard to achieve.

Hope my reply answered your queries!

Yes,
I strongly encourage your daughter to take up Cedar Girls DSA O-level offer, via Social Innovation programme. It is an excellent training programme for the girls. In fact, Social Innovation is one of the signature programme, inside Cedar Girls Secondary school.

And at end of Year 2022 Sec 2 streaming exercise , if your girl do well and if Cedar were to offer her a place starting Sec 3 IP, affliated to Victoria Junior College, do accept & grab the IP offer.

Thanks for the advice. 😊
