I've never been to Raffles Girls' Secondary but i'm considering it for my secondary school. Does anyone know how is it inside or know of any blogs that contain photos of rgs or have photos of the inside of rgs themselves?

If you do, can you please post (the link/information/photos) here or email them to me at [email protected]?

Thank you!!!!!! :?:

Thanks all for the reply. Yes, she is qualify for EESIS.

That means this year's ESSIS cut-off is not 264, as claimed by ACSI.

What do you want to know about the ‘inside’ of RGS campus?


They’ve got a nice open air amphitheatre in which teachers do conduct lessons there. I’ve seen lit lessons being conducted there & students will actually perform there.

Classrooms are all air-conditioned and girls will get their own lockers located just outside their classroom. No need to walk too far to grab their stuff.

They’ve got great labs & computer facilities.

It’s been some time since I’ve been there, but generally the school building is quite old. However, I think they’ve done some sprucing up, so it should be quite alright now.

Eh, estellex, how you cope during yr primary school years? got aircon classrooms in pri schools? you need aircon canteen also? PE how ah? No aircon field anywhere.

hope I don't make you upset, it's just that as a parent, I wonder how you can face the future if your concerns for school selection is Got aircon or not? It seems so trivial a criteria.

Haiz..why are kids so spoilt nowadays? Need air-cond classrooms? Then better hope the JC section has air-cond classrooms (for tutorials) otherwise how to cope after 4 years of indulgence.

Luckily estellex is not a boy, else when she goes to the army, she'll go :!: WHY NO AIR-CON CAMP/3-TONNER/CANTEEN??? :stupid:

Does RGS offers Japanese as 3rd language within the school so the students do not need to travel to other centres?

Hi,


My daughter is keen to indicate RGS as her school of choice. Apart from the academic expectations from the students, would appreciate it if anyone here can share regarding the following nitty-gritty ''concerns'':-

1. Is RGS strict about the girls' hair? Are they allowed to keep long hair?
2. Are the girls allowed to wear ankle socks?
3. How about school shoes? Any restrictions?
4. How about watch? Is there any type or colour of watches that are disallowed?
5. Jacket - any school-jacket?

Thanks.

1. actually they are quite lax about the hair, but fringe cannot go over eyebrows, though if you put it behind your ear when a prefect comes then she won't book you.
2. no
3. must be 80% white
4. not really
5. there is a school sweater which can be bought during orientation i think, but most of the girls stop wearing it cos you have to pull it over your head and it's really troublesome

hope to see your daughter in rgs!
