Sorry Vitorelax, I'm not sure what's your intention, hence I wouldn't want to elaborate more on who, where, what happen in the hall.


Just wanna share that I am shock with what teachers; schools; etc can say such things to the extend of discrimating others. Then what values are being taught in such schools :roll:

My take on this is sometimes the teachers do carried away when they are lecturing/disciplining the students.


Let me relate an example: I attended an event in school during CNY. It was supposed to be a happy, relaxed occasion. The girls were mingling around and engaging themselves in mindless chatter and laughing away. But the person-in-charge took offence to the noise and started a tirade on how the girls were not behaving themselves, how irresponsible of them to keep others waiting for them to settle down etc etc. Suddenly, the mood becomae so tense and serious. WE parents felt awkward too. It was so unnecessary in my opinion.

Of coz we parents are chatting too; afterall it is the beginning of the school year and we havn’t seen one other for a while. We felt awkward cos it was an after school event so let’s just relaxed the classroom decorum and let the girls chill out. Furthermore, there are many ways to quieten the girls without resorting to stern lectures… they are secondary school girls for goodness sake …JMHO

How can a school be good when morale, values are not taught???


Last week the school had a prize giving presentation, after the presentation, girls was told to stay back, the teachers started shouting and lecturing them saying that if they dont like the school they can leave and the school would be better without them. One teacher even said those who decide to leave are LOSERS! To interpret, it means the school is discriminating any other schools.

Hi, I am a student in SC secondary currently. I was doing some research and chanced upon this...so i borrowed my cousin's account to add in my input.
I was there at the scene, and from what I remember, the scolding was definitely not that harsh. Maybe your daughter misheard the teacher..? she definitely did not mention that we could leave the school and it would be better off without us. the reasoning behind the scolding was that it was a formal event, and cheering was deemed inappropriate and uncouth.

However, do keep in mind that the teacher who held us back that day was the prefect mistress(or head of discipline). She is undoubtedly oone of the fiercest and most \"volatile\" teachers in our sch. The tchers in sc are generally very warm and genuine, and you find that students are able to converse with them like friends. tchers in sc put in a lot of effort even after class to prepare lessons, and that is a fact i am very grateful for.

SCGS has also achieved a Mean Subject Grade of 9 in the o lvls. you will find that it is an MSG that is within the top3/5 in singapore. our sch may not have the highest average psle T-score, but our dedicated tchers consistently work hard to value-add.

I was not from sc pri, and i too had initial fears of not being able to blend in with the affiliated bunch. however, when i entered scgs in sec1, i discovered that my fears were largely unfounded. the affiliated girls are very warm and openly receive students from other primary schools, and are very willing to help new girls adapt.

i also noticed a lot of parents putting project work(PW) in a bad light. PW provides students with a rare opportunity to do higher level research. scgs offers a wide range of PWs to choose from. many of them gives students opportunities to work with external mentors and organisations such as the Boston Consulting Group, PUB, SingHealth, UNESCO, and PMB. students will be exposed to abstract topics like marine biology, and economics, which gives them a good headstart in jc.

for parents who are considering scgs as a sch for your child, i say go for it. sc has changed me a lot, for the better. it has instilled in me strong public speaking skills and writing skills; i find myself much more confident in front of strangers and it has taught me the virtue of kindness.

anyone with queries regarding scgs is always welcome to pm me

:? HUH? I was not from SC pri, but went to SC Sec. Remember my time there with fondness. There was never never never any discrimination between SC pri/non-SC pri - I only remembering with awe at gossip/info about some girls whose mothers, and even grandmothers attended SC.

I would dare say all my friends (esp those non-SC pri) are proud of our school and proud of our time there.

It's the bonding that I experienced, and even continue to experience (meeting ex-SC girls in work) - the part about being from SC that makes me want to choose a school with history for my own boys (unfortunately no girls).

Yo CUBEgenre, welcome and thanks for adding your thoughts and feel.

Enjoy your time in the school...I think the sec sch years are really the ones where memories are made. Till this day, my best friends are those I made in SC.

Besides the teachers (some of whom have left the school already), I miss the meepok!!!
