What you like/dislike about SCGS?
Is SCGS adopting Stellar program for teaching and heard that there is no textbook with this stellar program?
If that is the case, are there any references/books for revision?

To answer your second question first, I am not aware of the Stellar Program in SCGS. I believe this is only for P1 and P2, and my daughter is in P4, so probably does not apply.

As for what I like about SCGS, my daughter is very happy there, I guess that is most important. The school places emphasis on all aspects of education, not just academic and/or sports. She enjoys a well-balanced school-life of learning and fun. The teacher makes it clear that every girl has to work hard. There is also a wide variety of CCA and enrichment program available. In particular, my daughter often raves about the Weds extended recess (1 hour) where the school often organizes various celebration and activities during that time. The range of post-exam activity provided is also very interesting. My daughter attended soccer in P2 and synchronized swimming in P3. From P3, Lit is introduced to them in a very fun and engaging way, including making crafts and staging their own version of play. Kids with higher ability are also given the opportunity to work in various projects, according to their strength, eg journalism for those strong in English and mythbusters for those strong in Science.

As for what I dislike, I find that emails to teachers (esp those who are not my daughter's form teacher) are often un-answered. There is also a very frequent change of teacher in a particular subject last year, as a result, my daughter had 4 different teachers for 1 subject and she rapidly lost interest in that subject. Fortunately, this did not happen this year, and her interest is back.

One point to note, the school has revised the PSLE cut-off point for affiliated pupils. It has always been 200, it will be 210 for 2010 and 220 for 2011.

Hi Mandarin,


Thank you for your kind sharing.

Wow, they raised the bar for direct entry to secondary.
220 PSLE for 2011! By the time, my daughter will need to score even higher in 2016 :shock:

There is a form that you can download from the school website. You may also want to read the Admission Procedure. There is a fee of $25 (for Singaporeans) per admission test.

Mandarin:

Hi, my daughter is studying in SCGS now. If you have any questions, I will be pleased to answer them as truthfully as I know.


Good luck to all who wish to get their daughters into this school.

Hi,

Do you know of anyone who managed to get their girl in through the admission tests in P1? I am hoping to see if I can get her transferred there maybe in the middle of Primary 1
