IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

1. Parents and students are encouraged to choose schools wisely based on the student’s aptitudes and strengths, bearing in mind the schools’ academic and non-academic requirements, and the programmes available to develop the area of talent.
2. Once an applicant is successfully allocated to Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, she will NOT be allowed to participate in the annual Secondary One Posting Exercise to opt for secondary schools, and will be expected to honour the commitment to SCGS for the entire duration of the programme . She will also NOT be allowed to transfer to another school after the release of the PSLE results. If she is admitted based on a CCA, no change of CCA is allowed for 4 years unless there are medical reasons.
