Methodist Girls' School

Methodist Girls' School (MGS) is a girls' independent school, consisting of two sections – the Primary School and Secondary School, located in Bukit Timah, Singapore. Its secondary section is affiliated to Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)("ACS(I)"), and have a joint Integrated Program ("IP") where students will move to ACS(I) in year 5 to complete their six-year IP with the ACS(I) cohort, without taking the "O" levels. The private preparatory school has had a history of academic, music and sporting excellence and is one of the top secondary schools in Singapore.

Upon admission, pupils are placed into one of the four houses in Methodist Girls' School. The selection is random, unless the student currently has any siblings or relatives attending the school.

The four houses are Blackmore, Jackson, Lee and Olson. Each house has a Senior Captain (Secondary 4), Junior Captain (Secondary 3), Treasurer, two Level Representatives for each of the respective levels, a Swimming Representative and a Sports Day Representative.

Houses gain points from participation in the annual Inter-House games and swimming meet.

Pupils are easily recognized by the unique uniform of the school, which has not changed since 1922. The uniform resembles a sailor's suit, consisting of a pinafore with an upper section in white and lower section in navy blue skirt; and a white blouse with a sailor collar, which is to be worn over and covers 60% of the pinafore. Under the pinafore, single-colored undergarments (with the choice of white, grey, beige, navy or black) and shorts may be worn.

A badge bearing the school crest is fastened between the lapels of the blouse. Prefects wear the school's tie in addition to the badge. Student leaders are distinguished by the badge worn on the left side of the blouse. The physical education (PE) uniform consists of shorts and a Collegiate T-shirt. For formal events, such as an external awards ceremony, a white blazer with the school crest is worn with the MGS tie and a long-sleeved blouse and skirt.
