The Singapore Chinese Girls' School has a tradition of nurturing not just knowledge and intellect but also integrity and character. We embrace the wholeness of our JinYu philosophy, so that our girls grow into women who make their mark in society as exemplary and responsible citizens.  

The School colours are gold and jade, inspired by a Chinese metaphor "JinYu" which refers to young ladies who are the treasures of their family because they embody the virtues of filial piety, gentility, kindness, propriety and diligence.

Like gold that is refined for purity, SCGS hones the character and integrity of each girl. In contrast to gold which can be melted down and re-formed, jade is solid and has to be carved. It has its inherent qualities, and is shaped with love, care and artistry. This is very much akin to the intricate crafting of each individual’s personality.  

SCGS sees our role as an educator in the same way.  

We add colour, character and richness to the learning experience. Each child is different, and the treasures uncovered will be as unique as individual pieces of jade carvings.  

Strength and beauty come together in fine gold and pure jade.

The distinctively SCGS way.
