Secondary Schools - Girls' Only

Girls in girls' school can get more havoc than girls in co-ed schools. It's the home environment & values taught to them that matters.lizawa:
How about St. Margarets ?
St.Margaret entry point is around 240 for non affiliation. I am a strong support for same sex school for secondary level after hearing all the BGR headaches and distraction. Nowadays teens are not the same like our time - they are very \"advance\" in their approach in BGR. In my time, only those havoc kids go into relationship but nowadays ..goodness it is so \"common\". I was just chatting with my colleague who has a \"kwai\" daughter in primary - now Sec 2 daughter hp's never stop ringing..apparently being pursued by classmates...Mom getting distressed!
You should ask your daughter if she wants your help in fending off those boys. My mum used to scold the boys that call my home or HP (I was from girls' school since P1!) -

I think you can consider PLMGS(S)? I'm not too sure of their updated COP though.
Hmmm, apparently, according to the school's website, the COP for 2008 was 197 - 261 for Express, affiliated. It indicated as \"none posted\" for non-affliated students. -

From what I remember, there are girls there who were not from PL Pri. I know some of their scores were 220+ and they are in the 3rd Express class.mrswongtuition:

PLMGS is a good choice and I hv seen some of the girls around my neighbourhood. They seem to be quite "Kwai" and well behaved. Only worry is that your child might take a longer time to adapt as most of the girls are from the same pri sch and they might have certain cliques.
-
Nothing much to worry about the cliques as most of them will be 'seperated' due to different classes. & they have staggered recesses (not whole level go for recess at the same time).
As long as your girl is friendly, she'll have no problems.
I highly recommend PL because they are changing the P next year. The new P is a very dynamic woman with good leadership. She's very strict about discipline and attitude & will definitely bring the new to a higher level.
It also has a well rounded program, but you can expect your girl to reach home quite late with CCA, enrichments (every Wednesday), extra activities (events, etc). Their niche area is music, so if your girl has a grade 4 or 5 in piano, can try your luck to appeal if can't get in by results

Yes, heard that PLMGS is a good school. A friend sends her daughter there and I know the girl is happy there and doing well in school.
On a separate note...
Btw, does anyone have any idea how St Anthony's Canossian Sec Sch (SACSS) is like? The feedback I get is so far positive - as mentioned earlier - strong in performing arts and holistic education. That's the impression I get. Any other feedback/ comments?
A friend is thinking of sending her kid there and wanted to find out more. I think her daughter is SACPS or is it CCPS... can't quite remember. Any feedback, anyone?
Thanks. -

I have friends who are old girls from SA and they are all doing well (all high society people). So far I've not heard much about them during competitions and such though.Yes, heard that PLMGS is a good school.

Thanks mrswongtuition for your reply.

Personally, I'm in favour of same gender school. What with some teens having raging hormones and recent Sunday Times reports on teens sex are not helping. :shock:
Nowadays, even if students are from same gender schools, these teens can still mix around with friends from the opposite gender during tuition classes, CCAs and church activities. As someone mentioned earlier, it is important to instill good family values and provide positive parental support. Hopefully, our kids will listen to what we say, raging hormones notwithstanding. Hmmm...

The irony to all this worry is another set of worries
1) Would being in the same sex school makes them hungrier for a taste of BGR experience?
2) Would they be tempted into same sex relationship?
I have a niece in a top girls school and her family is worried that she may turn into a lesbian. :roll:
