[quote=\"G Tan\"]Hi!!

Can someone tell me more about MEP in MGS?? MY girl is admitted to MGS for IP program 2013. need to submit by today if we want to join

Hi G Tan, I wonder if you found out anything different but I had understood the MEP to be catered for the 4 year O Level track. My daughter is starting IP in 2013 too. If it is possible to combine IP and MEP (need to confirm with school) the student should have a very strong interest in music as they expect MEP students to commit to a music CCA, unless the student is in a school sports team. I decided to let my daughter pursue her music outside school.

Omg .... You replied soooo... Late...

We submitted the Mep form already...how...[/quote]Each girl is different: I was just giving my daughter's perspective. If your daughter is very keen on music then I'm sure she will be fine. Good luck!

The MEP exam is divided into a few exams in Sec-4 O-level. If I remember correctly, it starts in March for the 1st component and follow by a few more. My opinion is that the child would still need tuition coz there is a performance component which the school may not enough time to coach much. School time focus more on theory.

Best is to check with the school's MEP teacher.

Hello parents,school is starting in a week time.I guess is time to start letting your dd learn to wear double layers (2 shirts) at home so that they can adapt to the heat when school starts.As heard from my dd,most students will start wearing their uniform with a shirt (mostly pe attire) inside in secondary school.My dd is starting this practice tomorrow so wonder if any parents will agree and follow my saying.

Do existing MGS parents think this is necessary? Since they have a pinafore under the white shirt, PE shirt will have to go under the pinafore which makes it 3 layers! Can't they just change into PE outfit at school?
