      But I want to point out that St Nicholas is an MEP school but it is not an MEP center. There are only 2 MEP centers — ACSI and DHS. MEP students take Higher Music.

      https://postimg.cc/0zTWhycM

      As for the O level Music, honestly I dont think there will be any students coming to do the O level music
      Kindly

      take note of the Official reply, from our St Nick school, within the open quote & ending quote -

      \"
      Our O-Level (Standard music) class is conducted once a week, from 3.45 – 6.30pm. 

      Our school is a Music Centre which offers the course to students from other schools. Hence our SNGS O Level music students will join the external students for the lessons. \"


      If anyone is still in doubt, despite after reading above detailed reply -

      please contact Music Teacher in charge directly, Mdm Peh , to seek further clarification.

        [quote=phtthp post_id=2023747 time=1620805516 user_id=35251]If you manage to pass (clear) the Audition test, as St Nick is a MEP centre, there will also be other interested, external students from other outside Secondary schools joining our own SNGS girls here, inside our school premises, during these preparatory O-level (Standard Music) lessons taught, in Upper Sec (3 and 4).

        https://chijstnicholasgirls.moe.edu.sg/secondary/staff/staff-by-department[/quote]1) the bold parts was meant to point out the erroneous sentence in your original message that “St Nicks is an MEP center”. But i note that you have noticed your mistake and have since deleted that part from your original 1545 post.

        2) as for the parts in italics, I did mention that “i dont think”. This implies that I am not 100% certain.

        3) so as you have typed out some sort of reply from a teacher, I see that it was mentioned that the school is a “Music Center”, no part of this supposedly detailed reply says the school is an MEP center. WHICH i do note that you have corrected your first message and removed this erroneous information which should mean that you agtee with me that the school is not an MEP Center.

          I removed the part

          NOT because St Nick is Not an MEP centre

          But
          because of some other reasons.



          So, you yourself quickly anyhow jump to conclusion yourself wrongly, just because you saw me removed that part, and you can't wait to pin me down with an error !!! From every single word that you reply me, I can see clearly what you are trying to do !

          Anyway, whoever have read Mdm Peh official reply, is very clear . I shall stop here, because I have already made my stand very clear.

          Besides,
          whoever end of Sec 2 students are interested, will be keen only in Mdm Peh' s reply. Other things that try to side-track attention : not even important, don't waste time bother.


          For those of you whose children NOT even interested in O-level (Standard Music) at all, no intention at all to pursue Music, please do Not waste your precious time bother. Spend your energy wisely on something else more worthwhile instead. Example : if your interest is Art instead of Music, then concentrate on Art

            TL;DR.


            SNGS is NOT a MEP centre. It’s a school that offers music as an O Level subject.

                  Hi, other than English, Chinese, Maths, may I know what are the compulsory subjects that the girls need to take in Sec 3, 4? Understand that in SCGS, it is compulsory to take Literature.

                      Hi parents,


                      I’m not sure if I can ask here about the IP track here. I like to hear from parents with girls doing IP programs in this school, like how is the workload, teachers support etc? Thanks!

                        Workload is manageable. My daughter finishes work before dinner. School ends by 2pm, so your daughter should get home by 3pm door to door. Depending on which part of SK you are at, you can take bus+bus, which may end up in front of your home, in case you dont live opposite the mrt.

                        This question about teachers support is hard to answer. I have not really spoken to the teachers myself but the feeling I get is that they are approachable and well-liked by the students. Many of them are former students. They dont call me to talk about academic or social life, neither do I call them to ask about the same. They will probably call if there is a problem and I am happy they dont call me. 😂

                        Your daughter should have many seniors here, so she can also ask them. The students in the school would know best, esp if parents are no longer hands on in sec school.

                        Higher Chinese is compulsory in IP. Not a big deal but just writing it down. You take the O level Higher Chinese exam at sec 4.
