      Just received the posting results. And she’s in! Can I know how many CCA/PE skirts we would need to get? Will 2 be sufficient? Are the girls allowed to come in their skirt and house t-shirt on PE/CCA days? How many PE lessons do they have in a week?

        Hi, I think 2 should be sufficient unless she is planning to take up certain CCA that asked the students to wear their pe attire during training. We have 2 PE lessons per week and are allowed to come in PE attire during the days. However, not CCA days. 😄

          Did any of your daughters got into SMSS via DSA Choir. Please share what preparations need to be done. I have checked the website but any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
          Best wishes for a successful Secondary education to all…

                  I heard it is 243 for O-Level. Do call the school if you need to confirm.

                  All the best.

                      Last year (2020),

                      at end of Sec 2 streaming,
                      to choose Sec 3 subject combination.

                      Appreciate this school !

                      St Margaret Secondary school is kind, generous, compassionate, have a big heart, considerate, by giving chance to end of Sec 2 students to take Sec 3 Additional Maths, for students who have achieved minimum B4 (60 %), at Sec 2 year-end exam.

                      Many, many Thanks !
                      Appreciation, to the Maths HOD, and also St Margaret school Principal, for making this possible

                      because

                      a lot of other Secondary schools in Singapore, required better than B4, before can allow their students to take Sec 3 Additional Maths. For this, i truly appreciate & applaud schools like St Margaret, that show compassion and are willing to give chance to pupils, who keenly desire the opportunity to learn (study) Upper Secondary \"A\" Maths. Once again, Thank you very much !

                      Why use the word, \"compassionate \" ?

                      Reason ?


                      Because

                      Had the pupil remained in some other Secondary school, not studying in St Margaret, whereby the minimum requirement imposed upon is no lesser than a Distinction (A1 or A2), at Sec 2 year-end streaming exercise (exam), then this pupil would have been denied the chance to study (learn) Sec 3 Additional Maths. The door would have been shut closed, out of bound, for this pupil. No chance to learn Upper Sec \"A\" Maths, at all. Yes, there are some schools like this, very stringent in their requirement to do \"A\" Maths.


                      What's worse is,
                      the student's misery doesn't just end at Sec 4 (O-level) full-stop,

                      because

                      when move up onto Junior College (JC1) later on, because this pupil didn't do any O-level \"Additional\" Maths before, hence the pupil's JC1 choice of subject combination become very restricted, narrowed-down, limited.

                      Many JCs' requirement to do A-level \" H2 \" Maths is that, the student must have sat for Additional Maths (O-level) pre-requiste, first.


                      may refer to 2020 (last year) Sec 2 year end streaming exercise slides, found inside SMGS website

                        I am eyeing for my girl for this school. Is there anyone going to St. Margaret’s Secondary school from Jurong? What time your child wake up if travel by train? For CCA, my girl planning to choose string ensemble. Anyone can share more for this. Thank you.
