Tanjong Katong Girls' School
-
For those who are planning for next year, this info may be of interest to you.
This yr, total number of girls applying for tkgs was 1350 for 280 seats. This shows the popularity of the school. The average cop is 240. The highest t score is 271. I was pretty impressed with the new principal in her direction for the school. -
If the mean student COP is 240 that makes TKGS equal to schools like St Nicholas, MGS and SCGS.
What’s more impt is the fact that TKGS has no affiliated feeder primary school which means the COP range is narrower (closer abilities, motivatedness across the cohort)
No surprise at the high number of applicants. At 236, its a tremendous value COP for an all express girls’ school especially compared to schools which are not exclusively express stream yet requiring higher COP.

Anyone's dd going TKGS sec 1 in 2013?
Hi, I am a student and I am going to TKGS sec 1 in 2013. -
Other plus points: 1)the students are more well mixed from different culture and background. I’m sure students will benefit from mixing with people of diversity. 2)with no affiliated primary school, there is no domineering group of girls. Makes making new friends easier.

Hi Helping--Hand,
CCHM??
Chung Cheng High School (Main) - Am I right?
Are you a S1 girl in 2012?
If you choose TKGS, my dd and I could meet you in 2012.
What a wonderful girl you are!
My dd decide not to go CCHM as it is SAP school.
Please share about school bus available at TKGS. We live in Bishun.
:thankyou: -
A better tomorrow:
Tkgs is actually a very good school despite the lower cutoff point of 235. For me the only thing to pick about it would be the size of the school it feels very small and cramp when I was in it for the open house ( just a heads up for those with dd or ds taking PSLE the next few years ,the school will be moving to it's holding site during 2017 I think )
The COP for 2012 is 236 ... -
Is TKGS a good school ?

Is TKGS a good school ?
Every school is a good school. If a student if determined enough they can succeed, no matter which school they go to, be it an elite one or a neighbourhood one. -
May I know if TKGS groups you according to ability for Secondary 1?
