Singapore Chinese Girls' School, school in Singapore
Singapore Chinese Girls' School is a private institution in Bukit Timah that educates students from primary through secondary levels. The campus has multiple buildings and facilities set among open spaces with mature trees, where students move between classes and spend time during breaks.
The school started in 1917 with just seven girls and one teacher in a small house on Hill Street, founded by the local Chinese community. After the Second World War, it opened its doors to girls of all backgrounds and grew to over 700 students.
The school was founded by the local Chinese community to educate girls, and its name reflects those origins. Students wear a traditional white top called a samfoo with blue trousers, a uniform style that has represented the school's identity for many decades.
The school campus sits in a quiet neighborhood with many trees and open spaces, providing a peaceful setting for learning. Visitors can find information about academics, events, and school life on the official website.
Dance has been a strong tradition at the school, growing over the years to become a core part of the program where students express themselves and build confidence. In 1989, the school gained independent status, allowing it to make its own decisions about operations.
