First time here.

After posting result is out. Besides go buy uniform, what else can be done? We wait for instructions from secondary school? Via PG? We call them? They call us?

Please enlighten. Thank you.

There is a “teaser” with some details provided on the school website:

To add on, if u are anxious to know your child’s Sec 1 class, sometimes on the day of posting results, your PG app will be updated “in the Contacts tab” showing your child’s new school and which class (and form teacher). May not be true for all schools.

Morning everyone,

May I check if there is a parents WhatsApp group chat for secondary one starting in 2024? If yes, can you please share with me?

Thank you in advance.

Any parent with child in IP track in MGS can advise abt taking HMT or MT in Sec 1?

Specifically, i wanted to know if you select Higher Chinese:
i) do you will still need to take the Chinese language exams as well ie take 2 papers during every exam like in psle)
ii) if both exams are taken, it is compulsory to count the Higher Chinese score towards your total exam grade for each year? I noted that it is mentioned that it is compulsory to count third language score, which is not a common practice for other schools, but I didn’t read any mention of this for Higher Chinese.

Additionally, if anyone can shed some light on what is Chinese B to be taken in Year 5 and 6 and how it differs from the usual chinese syllabus for A level, that will be most useful!
Very stressed trying to decide whether to select HMT for my daughter before registration deadline on Tue 12pm.

Many thanks in advance!

The IB requires all students (no exemption) to take two language subjects. The likely first default for your daughter is English (Lang/Lit or Lit) and the second subject is likely MT B. However, if the MT requirement has been met by doing HMT up to S4, your daughter will still have to do a second language subject — except that now she can do any other language she wants that MGS offers at that level.

The IB Lang B summary can be found https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/curriculum/language-acquisition/language-b/. It's an interesting course, focuses on language use in practical and cultural contexts.

On this link, there is a video comparing the IB vs A levels, specifically mentioning the CL B. Though it was mentioned in the video that for ab initio, students can take French, German, Spanish and Malay, I recall German is no longer in the list for IB Group 2 subjects on ACSI website.
