            No, she's with Shaws. I'm sure your gal will enjoy as much as my gal.

              how many top classes are there in Haig Girls ?

              do they fix these class names, or every year change ?

                Would like to find out more abt the school. DD will be in for p1 next year!


                What would you like to know? My general feedback is that the teachers are caring (although sometimes crusty), and I like the school's emphasis on holistic development. There does not seem to be a lot of homework for DD who is in P4 this year, but there is a fair bit of project work which requires the children to work individually or in teams.

                This being a girls school, you can expect the usual cattiness and cliquishness among students. But the school does not tolerate things like poison pen letters and hate notes, and will clamp down when it notices these things happening.

                You can join the Parents Support Group. Parents in this group who can spare the time are *very* involved in all aspects of school life.

                hello: I am thinking of sending my daughter to Tao Nan but they are moving to a temporary locations in 2014..sigh. To save travelling time, i am now thinking of Plan B - which is haigs girls school. Does anyone have any concern with the drop in their academic results recently and their presumably low chinese vs. non-Chinese ratio. Thanks and greatly appreciated. πŸ˜“

                  According to the school, majority are Chinese, followed by Malays and Indians. The rest are international students. In fact, during open house and registration, I did notice that Chinese still form the larger population. So no worries if you are concerned.


                  Perhaps someone can comment on their academic results though.

                    Haig Girls' has a fairly high % of pupils getting into Express stream..wonder why it's not as popular as other schools in Marine Parade. Did a comparison when I enrolled my daughter there this year. I like the school not just for the results though.
