I don’t think it’s so easy to say straight 12 yrs, I have heard some girls who cannot meet points require after PSLE to Secondary, have to be transferred out. And for IP, only the top performers can qualify

for SCGS pri to sec, the cut off point currently of 220 is low by the standard of other IP school (eg NYGH is 250). even though the school is raising the cut off point gradually, every parents feels that there is hope - the kids got 6 years to work on it and if they work hard they are likely to get it. This is tangible hope.

At least one foot is in for SCGS, compared to other pri school without affiliation and without IP for sec school - eg SMPS - got affiliation to St Marg but no IP although there is 2 points discount for going to SAJC as part of Anglican family of schools.

Yes. There are cases of students being asked to leave the school in Sec 1, Sec 2 because they're performing below par. So don't assume that once you're in a premier secondary school you can relax. And IP is only for the top 2 classes or so. The others still go through the O level route. But of course having an affiliated secondary school with the possibility of IP is much better than a non-affiliated primary school.

Anyone knows how come SCGS only accepts 200 students? I thought if each class is 30 students then for 7 classes is 210 students or 6 classes which is 180 students. Does that mean their class size varies?


A friend said for SMPS is 35 students per class

the 30 per class in P1 & 2 is the standard to aim for.

if the school has gone fully one session, it probably has enough space to meet the standard of 30 kids / class, else it is still 35, 40, etc

today, these two giant schools woke up in the year of the Dragon, roaring ! Many parents hunger for them, eager to charge in. Next year - predict St Marg and Marymount FULL house, by end of Phase 2C.
.

I think it is because this year is the year of Dragon and thus got this unexpected outcome.

35 students per class? That's so much more than other schools. So far this is the only 1 I have came across with so many students. Wondering how effective the class will be...hmm......

A fren's girl had 34 in her class when she was in P2 2 years ago. 30 is the recommended no. by MOE if not wrong. Not compulsory figure to follow.

How many of classes of P1 & P2 in SCGS?

I wonder how many girls from SCGS were kick out from SCGS because they cannot meet the year 2012 PSLE cut off point to SCGS secondary. I doubt SCGS chase out their students.
