Hi MGS Moms and Educators,


I have 2 MGS newcomers under my wing in 2013. One in P3 and the other P4. Parents have asked me how the banding of the classes work. If it's not to inconvenient, may I ask some parents here about what they know? PM or open forum is fine.

Love,
moomel

Hi Family,

Any advise for the newcomers to MGS?
We're concern about how streaming and banding will be carried out in the school?
Not sure whether this concerns will be addressed during our up-coming orientation.

Hi,


I'll be joining the MGS family in 2013.
My DD will be transferring to P3 next year.
I've some pressing questions that I need clarification with.
- When does MGPS stream the gals, is it P2 or P3 end?
-How many top classes are there besides the SBC classes and do you know which are the classes?

I'm excitedly looking forward to the orientation on the 30 Nov 2012....wish me all the best

Hi sharm71,

Welcome to the MGS Family!

Streaming starts from end P2. The SBC class starts only from P4. There are 2 High Ability and 4 Mixed Ability classes next year for P3. You can ask the school during Orientation for more details.

God bess!

I am also an old girl of MGS. My experience was mixed. There were snobbish kids, there were also very friendly schoolmates who are still my friends now even though we were never in the same class before. I love MGS for it’s teachers and it’s activities. The school is always abuzz with a performance, a talent-time, a drama fest etc. It was lovely. I graduated in 1998 and still hold much fervor for my alma mater. Surely this is the school my future girls will go to.

Streaming is done yearly from the end of P2 till P4. Girls stay in the same classes for P1 and P2 and then P5 and P6. There are usually 2 HA classes from P3 to P6. SBC selection is at end of P3 based on GEP screening results, exam results and character.


MGS girls usually come from educated family backgrounds. Most girls are down to earth. There are some girls from wealthy families but most of them are not snobbish.

The standard of English in MGS is higher than most schools and the quality of results is impressive. MGS teachers are very nuturing although most girls have suport from parents and tutors.

No PV for MGS... Maybe u can join RC to try your luck in P2B (provided you are staying within 1km from MGS)
