Tanjong Katong Girls' School (TKGS) is a girls' secondary school in Singapore.
TKGS was established on 12 January 1953 with seven classes, totalling 250 pupils, and ten teaching staff. The school was the first post-war government English girls' school built in colonial Singapore. The school uniform includes a green pinafore and a light-green striped blouse.
The school is well known for the performing arts, and offers the Music Elective Programme and the Drama Elective Programme. Every pupil is required to participate in at least one core "Co-Curricular Activity" ("CCA"). Girls who desire to serve the school may participate in the optional non-core CCAs.
TKGS is partnered with the Thai girls' school, Satri Si Suriyothai School in the Singapore–Thailand Enhanced Partnership (STEP) Programme. Students with good academic results from the Republic of China, Brunei and the ASEAN region are also invited to join the school.
The current principal of TKGS is Mrs Phyllis Lim, who used to be the vice-principal of Gan Eng Seng Primary School.
