What about the polo T?
I asked the boys. They said it was for cca days. But after a few months, it is quite redundant cos the cca will have their own tees. -

We thought it's the PE tee so bought 2 pcs, and the lady at bibi&baba said it's for \"outdoor activities\" can just buy one.piggybank:

I only asked how many times is the polo tee worn a week. the lady said once so i bought 1. didn't cross my mind to ask what it was worn for. only found out from the boys when buying the corporate tee from the co-op. was wondering how many different tees to buy. :? -

LOL my boy and his friends normally go home in their PE tank tops using public transport. -
Polo T - hardly wear. Bought just in case when required.
Pullover - hardly wear but recommended for library use or even classroom use as you know they are air-conditioned. Though my kid hardly use, I still love it as found it’s pretty cool as I love the school logo against the blue pullover. -

Mine prefers to change into personal t-shirts as he feels the PE tanks are rather open at the armholes, he's lean type. It's personal choice ^_^piggybank:

Hi, my ds will be joining ACSI next year, anyone knows the total intake this year and how many classes of IP & express?
-
There was a mention of a reduction in the number of IP and Express classes this year, just like the other schools. There are 10 express classes and 5 IB classes.
Autolycus,
I have a question on the reduction of intake. From what was mentioned there is 1 less IB class this year ( maybe less Express classes too). How does this impact the number of students who will be given a chance to move in Sec 2 to IB? Would the school be still allowed to take in more students in Yr 2 to reach their steady state of 250 at year 3? Does that mean more places at Sec 2 for the O-level boys at ACSI OR would there be a proportional reduction of students given a choice to move to IB.
How does the 90 MGS girls coming in to ACSI affect the overall numbers, especially from Sec 2 O-level to IB. Please help to answer from your experience. -

There are 10 express non-IP classes and 5 express IP classes. IP stands for 'Integrated Programme' — i.e., a course which progresses from secondary to pre-university without O-levels. IB stands for 'International Baccalaureate' — i.e., the pre-university 2-year course that is considered at least equivalent to the A-levels.confusedmom12:
The theoretical maximum capacity of the ACS(I) IB course in Years 5/6 is 450 students. They have already broken that cap by about 3%.Autolycus,

However, I hear there are fewer foreign scholars entering at Year 3. This means that there may be more flexibility overall. The reason I am being inexact is that things might change in two years' time. It seems likely there will be an overall increase in opportunities to enter the IB programme.confusedmom12:
60-90 places will be set aside for entry at Year 5. There is no entry from MGS at Sec 2, since ACS(I) is still all-boys until Year 5. This means that we can guess at something like this:How does the 90 MGS girls coming in to ACSI affect the overall numbers, especially from Sec 2 O-level to IB.

1. Nominal maximum is 450 (might be more).
2. Internal entry from pre-IB programme (i.e. ACS(I) IP) roughly 250.
3. Internal entry from MGS IP 60-90.
4. Balance is intake from O-level Joint Admission Exercise (which will include ACS(I)'s own O-level candidates) and DSA.
Have a good holiday!
