Dear Ma Ma Mon,
If you haven't already looked at the https://www.mgs.moe.edu.sg/secondary/admissions/mgs-integrated-programme-for-year-3-intake, might be useful.
If you need more information beyond the briefings you've already attended/received, do let me know. I helped design that programme.
Cheers,

Hi,
I am exploring MGS IP(IB) for my child who is doing PSLE this year. I will like to hear from parents their children experience in this school and this program. Is the program good and if child is enjoying it? I also know that MGS has a SBA program for O level track. If IP(IB) program is good, I might even consider applying for O level track. Thanks. -
Will like to know how to go to sba class? Is it allocated by school or we can appeal to it?
:thankyou: -

Hi autolycus, do you know if the curriculum of the MGS IP Yr 1 to 4 is similar to ACSI IP Yr 1 to 4? Since the MGS girls will join ACSI in Yr 5, I am guessing MGS will prepare their girls the same way as ACSI.

Given your extensive knowledge on the history of IB in local schools, will you also be able to share why MOE decided to allow just 1 girls' school but 2 boys' schools to offer IB? Thanks! -

The MGS IP was meant to parallel the ACS(I) IP, but it isn't the same. The preparation is somewhat equivalent.

MOE allowed all the IP schools to make their own choices of curriculum and partnerships. Initially, ACS(I) attempted to 'sell' the IBDP to SCGS and NYGHS as well as MGS, but there were no takers. It was only in 2011 that someone was officially asked to help design an IB-compatible IP for MGS. MGS doesn't offer the IB, only the S1-4 IP leading to IB. -

Why No takers ?

because
girls' schools (SCGS + NYGH) both prefer to stick to IP-A-level curriculum.
SCGS prefer to join (Catholic High + St Nick), for A-level (@Eunoia JC). SCGS also did not join SJI, for IB.
RGS, naturally will follow RI (A-level).
The same for NYGH, naturally follow her paired-up partner, Hwa Chong (A-level). -

Then,

can explain why
( SCGS, NYGH, RGS )
reject / turn down joining forces, with ACSI ?
Why \"No takers\", then ? -

SCGS wanted to remain independent IP for the longest time. In the end, they formed an awkward coalition. Culturally different from St Nicholas' and Catholic High.

NYGHS also wanted to remain independent, but clearly they are a natural feeder for HCI (JC).
RGSS and RI had no real choice but to collaborate, again, as natural feeders for RI (JC).
Similarly, it should have been ACS(I) + MGS from the beginning, but it didn't start off that way.
I won't go into details though. Many people still alive.

Hi autolycus
IB.
In the assessment for IB intake in Sec 2 (from O level), is MT/HMT taken into consideration of the overall results?
If one with MT vs another with HMT, and one with HCL has overall of <80% vs excl HCL is 85%.
MT/HMT score is not critical across the different areas of year 5 and 6 of IB, though it is still compulsory in sec levels.
