Hello, just checking if golf is still one of their CCA in the primary section or it has been removed? I still see picture of a girl at the golf range on their CCA intro page but in the CCA calendar there isn’t any.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, my daughter will be in MGS P1 (2022).

I would like to know what I will have to prepare her for before entering P1. I think that her preschool has already prepared her well based on social skills and academics. I do not want to force her to start studying for P1 yet though, but I would like to know if there are topics that I will have to speak to her about. Like friendships? Do MGS girls encounter any friendship problems (during my time, thankfully I did not)? Or do I need to mentally prepare her for exams/tests/homework?
First child problems… don’t have experience! Thanks in advance!

I would think it is important to trigger a love for English as it is required for both Maths and Science. The best way is to get her into a reading habit, although if you are successful, you may have a hard time pulling that novel glued to her fingers to get her to study other subjects


And I'm sure you should get her to use Chinese on a regular basis. Maybe have a rule for you to speak Chinese and your hubs to speak English, whichever you are more comfortable with. It will take some getting used to, but it will benefit her in the long run.

Thank you so much!

Yup, we are a English and Chinese (sometimes) speaking family.
Sent the kids for Chinese and phonics classes when they were younger. I make sure they spend an equal amount of time reading English/Chinese books too!
I know that MGS really requires good command of English. I hope that by enforcing bilingualism at home will benefit her!
Also, quick question:
For CCAs, how does one choose it? Need to attend auditions for primary school? TIA.

You should ask your P4 daughter.

I heard from my friends that P5 subjects will be a big difference, harder / more demanding in general. Can someone recommend me good tuition centres for Maths & Science? We live around Bukit Timah area. I know that Learning Lab is well known for producing top students. Any opinions? Thanks in advance

My P4 girl is mid-stream transfer student though. She did not need to attend any auditions. I only had to email the HOD to select her CCA.

But I heard from a friend that CCAs like dance need to audition (back in 2014). Not sure if its still applicable now.

Hi,


Has anyone successfully transferred to MGS?
What is a strong enough reason to build my case for transfer?
Would appreciate some guidance on this as I have not been successful.
Please PM me any useful information.

BTW, is there stats for MGS balloting 2021? I saw online 2B and 2C both 27 seats each and 45 and 51 applied respectively. Correct me if I am wrong, I thought 2C MUST have 40 seats to begin with?? Why is it 27 in this case 2021 under new pri school registration?
