      Worried 123 - I am an SCGS alumni and my daughter has just finished Sec 4. There is no honor board for merit award winners. The awards are given prospectively, but based retrospectively. In other words, you do well in Sec 2, you get the award for your Sec 3 year. Rather like a scholarship. Logically, why would SCGS give out a scholarship if the child is no longer in the school?


      It’s a great school if you want an all rounded girl who can carry herself well in public.

        The last 2 or 3 Head Prefects of the school were not SCGS primary alumnis so don’t worry, your "outsider" girls won’t be discriminated against.

          i was referring to the honor roll, which is pinned on the notice board.

          in this case, it will be very unfair to the students who perform well. take for instance, should the student top her cohort in that particular year, then the award would be given to the second student in level.

            Hmmm....this is as if you are saying that when a high performing employee resigns from a company, the company should continue to pay him/her bonus and continue to label him/her as the best employee of the year. Do let us know if there are such companies or schools in Singapore that practise this and how this practice affects the morale of the existing employees or students. 🙂

              Other schools practise this as well, not just SCGS.

                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.
                I also have being hearing of these stories for those famous schools.... quite worried for my DD as we are not those rich family

                    Good chance! Even if you are cut out due to higher cop which is rather unlikely, you will have no difficulties in launching a successful appeal.

                    Aim to represent the school in chinese dance during lower sec and progress to their famous classical dance team during upper sec and you will graduate with good cca record.
