oh gosh so difficult lah ..anyway CK,, is there any way you think we can make an appointment to go down and see the principal personally to talk about our child' admission ?

I think most Primary school principals and vice principals are very approachable and only a phone call away. Just call and talk to them directly.

Hi Chief


Just to confirm if I'm required to join the school's alumni since I'm a former school boy. Am I right to say:

1) If former school boy AND join alumni will fall under 2A1; while
2) Former school boy WITHOUT joining alunmi will go under 2A2?

If so, do I have to be really kiasu and pay $$$ just to go in one phase earlier. How assuring will it be if I opt not to join in securing a place in ACS? I could put the money to better use :lol: .

Appreciate your reply.

Thanks
Raynreg

Based on the past three years (see link below), no need to join OBA. But I was just being kiasu.

You are right. And we have not seen balloting at anything earlier than phase 2B for the past 3 years. Save your money to get something nice for your spouse and kids this Christmas.

Depends on how you gauge popularity I guess. ACS Primary is harder to get into because it has a larger pool of old boys. Therefore, by the time it is Phase 2B/2C, quite a no. of spaces would have been filled. ACSJ is also much sought after but as the no. of old boys are lesser, there's usually more spaces by 2B/2C. So the probability of getting to ACSJ is higher than that of ACSP.

My understanding is that the PSLE results of ACSJ is better compared to ACSP.

By the way, ACSJ moved to a new premise this year and the school is huge with brand new amenities. I think this is a plus point. I've yet to regret placing my son in that school (although it is still very early I guess :P).
