ACS Junior won't face balloting in Phase 1.
All Phase 1 sibling are guaranteed.
So, Dont worry about Junior.

But In future one day,
ACS Primary (Barker road) may face balloting in Phase 2A.
Too many old boys inside 2A1, & too many ex students inside 2A2.
If all 2A2 pay $500 alumni fees to move up to secure 2A1 -
Perhaps 2A1 will ballot, one day.

There are many rich parents inside ACS.
What is paying $500, to them ?
In the end, everybody just pay, end up in 2A1.

This is possible, only if there come one day, where they announce & decide put a cap or limit to Phase 1 sibling intake.
But currently, there is no such announcement.
So Phase 1 is still secure.

But if one day this announcement come,
Then Yes, need to ballot for Phase 1 too.

That day will come, when they realize that \"40 seats put aside\" is insufficient.
So if take from Phase 2A already still not enough, then the next target to take from, will be from ... Phase 1.

This figure, \"40\", is only a starting point.

Phase 1 will be the last Phase, to touch.

Before touching Phase 1, they may abolish Phase 2B PV scheme first.
(If there is a PV scheme first)
However in the case of ACS, there isn't any PV, in the first case.
All Phase 2B applicants are either from Methodist Church members, or from GRC.

I saw in KH Forum that this yr onwards no PV. So its a little start to control phase 2B.

Yes, if the school abolish Phase 2B Parent Volunteer scheme, then many more of the \"40 seats\" reserved : can go to 2C applicants.
This help, although there are some who still enter by GRC.

But Kong Hwa is an Hokkien Huay Kuan controlled school.
So there'll still be some who do PV at the Huay Kuan.
They can still occupy some seats, via the Huay Kuan.

Besides Kong Hwa, Tao Nan also follow suit.
Tao Nan also another Hokkien Huay Kuan school.

They just transfer the mode of PV :-
Transfer from PV duties in school, over to PV duties in Huay Kuan.
But it is still PV.
But can you remove the Huay Kuan ?
Cannot.
Because Huay Kuan is the financial backbone.
They pump in a lot of $, to fund the building of these schools.

In the same way, can you remove Methodist church ?
Cannot.
Because the Methodist churches pump in lots of $, to fund ACS Methodist schools.

Can someone help me?


I stay in Hougang but intend to let my boy go to Anderson Pri at Ang Mo Kio (my hubby ex's school), under phrase 2A2. He will also be cared for after/before school by my MIL, staying at Ang mo kio too.

Is it confirmed that he can get into Anderson Pri under Phrase 2A2 successfully? Or if I also need to be 1 KM or 2KM even though I falls under phrase 2A2?

TIA

Hi mrsngpk,

Is your MIL staying <2KM from Anderson pri? If yes you might want to go MOE to do a statutory declaration to register the primary school using your MIL address. This will bring your chance up one level in Phase 2A2 under 1-2KM category.

I stayed in hougang and my mum stayed Clementi. I am ex-student of Nan Hua and my mum stayed just 2 bus stop away from the school. So I am using her address to register in order to be under Phase 2A2 in 1-2KM category. Also because my mum is the caregiver after they finished class so we can do a statutory declaration base on this factor (provided both parents are working full time and the caregiver which is grandparent cannot be working)
