Methodist Girls' School (Primary)

[phtthp]

have to wait for MGS Principal to announce the impact, to all parents & students in MGS,

esp.
where affliation to the O-level track, is concerned

Another key question is

With effect from 2030 onwards,

will MGS (Blackmore drive) still remain here in its existing location

OR

also shift to Tengah ?
Why ?
Because

since history started many years ago under the Methodist denomination, everyone know that MGS is the \"sister\" school for ACS boys

OR

know that ACS is the \"brother\" school for MGS girls' school ?

Just look at the affliated IB programme,
from Year 5 onwards, where IB (girls and boys) study altogether inside the same ACSI

I have no idea whether they are planning a move, but historically, MGS and ACS have never been co-located. And when ACS had Pre-U classes (before ACJC was opened), girls would join at that point, but the schools were never co-located. And there are really very few meaningful brother-sister ties now - in my day, younger brothers of MGS students could apply to enter P1 in ACS under the earliest phase, but that was discontinued at some point. Other collaborations, if any, can still continue as they have in the past without co-location.

Whether MGS will move or not, I haven't a clue. And I have no emotional ties to the current location as I was never a student there. But the decision shouldn't be made on historical grounds.

Hi


MOE advocates all schools are good schools. Putting ACSP in a new neighbourhood Tengah is a good start. I hope they continue to diversify the school demographics to cater to families who are not living in the prime district area in the city.

So,

for parents who enrol their children from 2030 P1 intake onwards (born in year 2023) -


joining ACS (Tengah) primary will only benefit the boys, but not the girls, since

- boys still have affliation to O-level track (ACS Secondary).


But,
no obvious benefit nor any advantage to the girls,

since NO affliation to the O-level track (Methodist Girls' Secondary, @ Blackmore drive)
