This was the beginning of Paya Lebar MGS. It was started as a branch of the Anglo-Chinese School with the name Paya Lebar English School. The first headmaster was Mr. Robert Hanam. It began in 1917 with a staff of three and a pupil enrolment of 24 boys. In 1918, it began taking in girls. It was an elementary school providing education up to Primary 4. In 1935, Mrs Chew Hock Hin became Principal. She is regarded as founder because she was founder of the Girls' School and reorganised the school with help from the American Crusade Fund. The school after World War II was co-ed with the boys in the PM Session and the girls in the AM Session. It became a government-aided school in 1949 when still a primary school. In 1954, the school presented its first batch of School Certificate girls who scored 100%. In 1986, Paya Lebar MGS made its move from Boundary Road to the present campus along Lorong Ah Soo. The year also saw the creation of two schools, Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Primary) and PLMGSS. In 2005, Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Secondary) was relocated to a holding site in Serangoon North Avenue 1 while construction works went on at its Lorong Ah Soo site. In 2007, the school returned to Lorong Ah Soo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Secondary)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
