Hi minminXP, thanks for sharing. May I know the Overseas Exchange Program which you mentioned, applies to lower sec or upper sec? Thanks.

It was opened to secondary 2s and 3s and took place in June this year. Most students that attended were from the top 2 triple science classes. There was another humanities trip to UK, but this one had students from many different classes. Although most of the students who were accepted took full literature. This UK trip was open only to sec 3 students. There were many other trips as well, such as the Math trip to Korea, although I am not clear on the details for the rest.

phtthp:

for 2012 Secondary 1 -

how many classes had been allocated to own affliated P6 SCGS girls ?

how many 'top' classes and 'mixed ability' classes ?

for 2012 Secondary 3 & 4 -
how many pure Science classes ?

Secondary 1:
In lower sec, generally, the class ranking from top class to lowest class is Sincerity (SY) , Courage (CO) , Generousity (GY) , Service (SE) , Perseverence (PE) , Grace (GR) & Prudence (PR)
The best classes are SY,CO(SY being the best of the best)
The class Generosity (GY) is in-between \"best\"&\"intermediate\"
Intermediate classes (if you would call it that) are SE&PE
GR&PR are supposedly the worst classes by grades, however, it is possible for them to \"move up\" classes in Sec2. Just like how it is possible for those from the best classes to drop.

The affiliation is somewhat difficult to explain...
BASED ON THE 2010 P6 BATCH/2011 SEC 1 BATCH
The students who score just around the cut off point for affiliation usually go to GR or PR (Around 210&220)
Those who pass that point and get around 23/24+ get into PE,SE&GY
Students who pass the nation-wide cut off point get into SY&CO
BUT
It's not definite...ish. If a class has no more space, it is possible for a student to get moved to a lower class
Eg: The class GY has no more vacant spaces, if amongst the PSLE scores, your daughter is one of the lower ones, she will be placed in SE
Same goes for DSA students.

However, the 2012 secondary 1 banding is really messed up. It's as if the class rankings have changed, and I'm not so sure about it. Some students who got 23+ and one who got 260 got into PR. But if you ask the students the class ranks, it'll still be SY CO GY SE PE GR PR

Upper Sec sciences:
I'm not sure what you mean by \"how many\" but in upper sec every student will take a pure science. there is Pure Chemistry Pure Biology and Pure Physics. Triple Science would be taking all the pure sciences, combine science would be either Chem-bio or Chem-phys but it's two pure sciences.
Single science is usually Pure Chem only, but they will give options of pure bio only. But it depends on how many students opt. For single bio during steaming. If it's not enough, it won't be an option.
Basically ALL the sciences are pure, it just depends on whether you get Trip. Sci, comb. Sci or single sci. The science combination usually decides the class you'll get into.....but every class takes pure science

Anyone know if the JC for IP programme is a new one or an existing one like Catholic Junior College? Appreciate some enlightenment from those in the know. Thanks. :grphug:

Thanks. Until now they have not announced the name for the JC, I was concerned they use an existing JC like CJC. If so I think I'll transfer my DD out.

They're not merging with an existing JC. Is your dd already in SCGS? If so there should have been some briefings for parents about this new IP programme.

Hi parents,


My daughter is graduating tomorrow from this wonderful school. I have some of the school's coloured ring binders to give away. Some are relatively new while others just need a simple wipe down.

They can be collected from my home in upper thomson

Please pm me if anyone wants them, thanks

Dear cloudburst,


Just check how many subjects your DD is taking in sec 1 and 2? Can recall?
