hi, anyone knows if SMSS has school bus services? Thanks.

not organised by the school

most of them just take the SBS buses, super convenient with quite a number of services with bus stop just along Farrer Road, covered shelter all the way into the school, plus walking distance from Circle Line mrt station

Ok thanks

hi hsm,


Where do you stay? there is a bus company that runs a fleet of mini buses to SMSS in the morning. You need about 9 girls that live around the area, before he is willing to provide the svs. Maybe, he is already providing that svs in your area. He should be there on the reporting day.

regards,

the COP for 2010 is 239.

Hi, does St Marg Sec require to buy personal notebook to bring to school? Is it more IT-savy? Any idea do they learn home economics during Sec1?


My girl is in St Marg Pri and i think she is likely to go the sec school.. hope to know more about their curriculum. Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

I heard from my friends that a few year back, SMSS doesn’t take in anymore Normal Technical students (Affiliation from SMPS). Being curious, why do they take in again? And does anyone know in future, will the affiliation between SMPS & SMSS be removed?

I think it was MOE's direction to the school to start the Normal Tech classes a few years back. There is only one class.

The affiliation between SMPS & SMSS will not be removed. As long as, SMSS is their first choice of school, they will have a place in SMSS. The only change starting with this year P6, is the COP for Express course is 200. Any girls scoring below 200, will have to take the normal academic / technical course. Currently, I think its about 188-190.

Hi mistymum,


Thank you for your reply

So it is definitely that they won't remove the affiliation? Is your daughter in SMSS?

The COP has been raised to 200, does it means the school is doing well?
