Secondary Schools - Girls' Only

schweppes:

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.

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:

I see that SJC - St Joseph Convent is not mentioned, but I am not sure the COP. I remember from my own JC days, their English is very good and also good in netball as well. The school is behind Rivervale Mall in Sengkang’s Rivervale area where I reside.

Is Marymount convent itself still around? I remember the uniform of the school is green colour. Your girl is in the primary school so there is affiliation to the secondary school if it still exists.

Alot are not posted there because they got in through DSA before PSLE even started.
Many appealed in after release of results/posting

Possible DSA/appeal:
- Netball
- Badminton
- Table Tennis
- Music (As long as the child has good music background or was from music CCA, subjected to audition)
- Dance (Same criteria as music)

I am considering sending my girl to St Margaret or Crescent if her result permits. Can you elaborate more on the girls fist fight at St Margaret?

Thanks.

How about Crescent Girls’ School? I thought they were quite ok (during my time).
