Hi, I am a student in SC secondary currently.


for parents who are considering scgs as a sch for your child, i say go for it. sc has changed me a lot, for the better. it has instilled in me strong public speaking skills and writing skills; i find myself much more confident in front of strangers and it has taught me the virtue of kindness.

anyone with queries regarding scgs is always welcome to pm me

Yo CUBEgenre, welcome and thanks for adding your thoughts and feel.

Enjoy your time in the school...I think the sec sch years are really the ones where memories are made. Till this day, my best friends are those I made in SC.

Besides the teachers (some of whom have left the school already), I miss the meepok!!!

Well it depends. There are cliques etc but which school does not have them. However, most of the girls come from super rich families so quite \"atas\". Someone related a story that in one class all the parents had cars except one girl and she was kinda of ostracized. The teachers are not on the ball as most students take tuition for all the subjects. So no real need to put in extra effort as the tuition teachers take care of the results.

Hi all, I’m a student in SCGS, using my mum’s account to say this. SCGS really is a good school. I’m a prefect and it’s been extremely enjoyable working with others. Being in a top-tier class, I also have many opportunities to showcase my talents, whether in academics or arts. I also love my CCA (choir). The teachers are friendly and caring, and so are the people. Rest assured your daughters will be in good hands when they come to SCGS. Feel free to ask me anything too.

By the way, we don’t really pick on others based on appearance. And the scolding incident mentioned earlier, it was out fault as we failed to uphold our usual standard of conduct. Please don’t use this minor incident to affect your decision.

Rest assured that your daughters will feel at home in SC, no matter what their background.

ordinary-person,


My dd’s best friend was formely from SCGS. I am impress with her english and more importantly, her general conduct- confident, graceful and likeable despite coming from a very well-to do family. I also have had encountered one girl from my church also formely from SCGS. She was from the pri section, came in with mediocre PSLE T-score, passed out with good O-level result and is currently in her 1st year at Melbourne University, Australia. Certainly SCGS adds value.

Your school excels in english, literature and maths. Excellence in ccas include arts in particular dance and for sport is squash and gymnastic.

My daughter just finished sec one at scgs, got in under DSA and then qualified academically anyway. It was a very good year for her, made many friends. Teachers are caring. They are strict about producing fine Asian ladies as evident by their attention to even how the girls sit - even when a chair has an upright back, the girls are expected not to lean against it but to straigten their backs. I like, even though the girls may not all appreciate that all the time.


Their language arts program is really solid - they actually teach different styles of writing and students have to master the theory and apply it to the writing. Useful science project that applies what they learn by building a device that meets certain aims.

Some teachers may be still pining for the former principal who stayed many years, but the current principal is a smart lady and the school will continue to do well under her I am sure.

Despite all the above comments about scgs, i feel that the school does not do enough to recognize the achievements of the pupils, be it past or present. For instance, i heard it from one of my friends that students there are not rewarded for their academic achievements after they have left the school for the integrated program in secondary 2. :x In this case, i feel that it is somewhat unreasonable of scgs to do so as they have actually worked hard in the school for their sec 2 year. :?

What do you mean by not rewarded for their academic achievements after they have left the school? What kind of rewards are you referring to? SC has been rewarding and recognising their past students.
