Vision

An outstanding school of choice producing women of fine character with a passion for life and learning.

Mission

To nurture every PL-Lite into a whole person who lives in favour with God and Man.

Philosophy

Founded in 1916, PLMGS(Sec) is a school rich in heritage and tradition. At the heart of an education in PL is holistic education with an emphasis on Character Development. This stems from the school's philosophy of developing students cognitively, physically, morally, socially and emotionally. As the school prepares students for life, it seeks to develop them to their fullest potential across the spectrum of talents and abilities. PL aspires to be an outstanding school of choice that produces women of fine character with a passion for life and learning. Sound character development must be grounded in values. PL-Lites are expected to demonstrate our school values as represented in the acronym HEART; Each PL-Lite Honours God, has an Excellence mindset, is Adaptable, Respects others (and is respected) and is always Thankful. PL-Lites will be enriched for life, each becoming "A Confident PL-Lite, A Passionate Learner, An Active Citizen and An Inspiring Leader".

Sdp

The school has developed a differentiated academic curriculum to meet the needs of the students. In the PL21 programme, 21st Century Competencies are taught and developed within the formal curriculum. Students learn to think creatively and critically and develop the skill sets to collaborate and communicate effectively. For students with talents in specific subjects and the potential for further growth in an interest area, the school has 2 key programmes dedicated to nurture them. The Acceleration, Collaboration and Exploration (ACE) Programme is designed to nurture those talented in the areas of Mathematics, Science and Music. A more challenging academic and aesthetics curriculum is customised to their learning needs. The Enhanced Enrichment (EE) programme offers opportunities for students to excel in Languages, Humanities, Innovation and Leadership. The Global Classroom programme gives students the opportunity to travel overseas in any of these 4 aspects; Twinning Programme with overseas institutions, Inter-disciplinary Subject-based Overseas trips, opportunities to represent the school and Singapore at Overseas Conferences and Competitions and the Overseas Service Learning Projects. These trips provide students with the opportunities to interact with people from various parts of the world so that they will be more culturally savvy and attuned to the changing global environment. To complement the academic programme, PLMGS (Sec) has a strong Character and Leadership Development programme to develop every PL Lite into a Personal, Peer and People Leader.
