Hi Trying Hard,


Thank you so much for the very helpful information!

I think we are looking at 3 bed room condo, say 1, 300 sqf. Budget wise 2-2.5m if that is possible.

I will take a look at the properties you mentioned:)

[quote=\"skysky2018\"]Hi,

Can anyone please share what are the popular condominium located within 1km of ACS primary school (barker road)? Thanks!

there are too many good developments around! I think its will be good if you can narrow down to whats ur budget n prefer size.
a unit at these area can easily cost from 1.5m (maybe 1-2 bed rm n well below 800 sqft) or 8-10m (3 or 4 bed room with 4-5k sqft n above)
Newly TOP or going to TOP could be Ferrell, Madison, gilstead 2, goodwood resident and etc.... these are usually above 2k per sq ft....., if you don't mind old development, maybe you can look at palm spring, balmoral green, the twins and etc..... these are not bad developments as well.

[/quote]forget to mention something 'IMPORTANT'.
try to look around Newton area, condo such as Lincoln suites, Newton gems, rose vale, the linc, amaryllis, are all within 1km from ACSP, ACSJ and SJP!!!! play safe, so that u can have alternative
cheers :xedfingers:

Hi there,


I'm regsitering my son this year for either ACSP or ACSJ and i'm living within 1 KM to these 2 schools and SJIJ also. Hubby is methodhist so we will qualify for phase 2B for the 2 ACS schools but not for SJIJ.

My first choice would be ACSP and if the numbers don't look good, I'll withdraw and register for ACSJ. Based on last years balloting results both schools did not need to ballot for citizens within 1KM for phase 2B. I'm just quite surprised by this how the numbers fit in so nicely. Was it purely luck that there was no balloting for within 1KM or did the parents kinda discuss amongst themselves and some decided to go to the other ACS school to avoid a balloting situation at ACSP. Pardon my question if it sounds ignorant. Also, last year ACSJ even had to ballot for within 1KM for phase 2C whereas ACSP did not - very surprising to me.

Also, if I have already registered for ACSP on day one but then want to monitor the situation and then switch to ACSJ at the last minute - which day do i do this - on the last day? For those who have registered before, can you call the school and get detailed info on how many people have registered and which KM do they fall under on a daily basis? I know they will provide info on citizens registered but will they provide info such as the KM they are living, as this info is key to the decision.

Thank you.

What do you think my odds are to get into either ACS for phase 2B and then in phase 2C to try all 3 schools including SJIJ?

I'm having a mini heart attack just thinking about it.

Hey thanks!! Yes i got my son into ACSP our first choice - I'm over the moon soooo happy

I think the high number of vacancies in ACSJ took the heat away from ACSP this year.
