Hi, is anyone exploring car pool option from Bishan to ACSJ? Looking for regular morning pickup for my boy as we are not keen in school bus (too early ). PM at 9855 6063

Thanks all for your response.


Indeed we must think differently and out of the box to be successful in life.

What I’m trying to do is obtain a place in 2A1 and simply swapping it with another set of parents also secured in 2A1. I don’t see that as detriment or breach of system or unfair as both of us are giving up alumni entitlements in exchange for better logistics for our sons. It is NOT an attempt to swap before securing our respective places.

In the end of the day, it’s a win-win situation and MOE/Schools do not lose too because they wouldn’t know
the merit of each student. If kids are allowed to transfer at P2/P3 then I don’t see why they cannot transfer before enrollment if both parents are consenting?

Hello guys, this is my first time here.


We will be registering our boy into ACSJ under phase 2A1 but we are living @ Bishan, next to Catholic high in fact. I’m not sure if this is conventional, but we would like to seek out an exchange with another parent who has sights on entering ACSJ but has alumni for Catholic high primary.

We would most likely need to secure our respective places in each school, before we talk to principal/MOE on the arrangement. Any parents in this current situation that is keen to have a further discussion?

As for the rest, what do you think is the likelihood for such exchange to be successful?
