Hi all,


From experience usually there are a handful who do not make it back. My girl tells me this year a handful did not make it back; however most already knew that before PSLE because they did badly in the mocks in at least 1 subject. When the school raises it to 210 next year, my guess - going by previous years' scores - is that the number will go up to a significant number, maybe half a class, because the 200 - 220 number is quite large.

By the way, if she is intending on going back to SCGS, then maybe she wants to consider whether to continue spending the time on higher chinese, which is not counted.

SCGS is changing, and not for the better I feel....

Hi, my girl will be in P1 next week.
Yes, they are changing the pri vice principal. (The pri. principal mentioned this during the P1 orientation).
My worry is that they may increase the cut-off point further by the time my girl in P6 in 2015. My friend has a daughter in MGS and told me that about two classes can't make it for their secondary school with their cut -off point (I think about 220 or 230). I am also very anxious to know the PSLE result for SCGS and how many students can't make it for the SCGS secondary.

They used to public their PSLE result in SCGS website but not anymore now and have no clue where to get the results.

Anyone here can help?

My daughter goes to Stalford there. The teachers are variable - some are very good others are average. Be sure your child is happy with the teaching. They allow make up classes (with the same teacher), which is good if your child is sick or busy now and then.

In all the 6 years my daughter has been in school, she has had classmates leave and others join, primarily due to children leaving with parents overseas. So do put your child on the waiting list early.


A note of caution though. Many things have changed in SCGS in the past few years. So it might not be accurate to look at past practices any more. One of the first things to go was accepting all old girls into Express, hence the new raising of the cut-off point, which has caused much unhappiness amongst parents.
