Anyone can share for Y3, is Lit complusory? Or can do History and Geog?


Thanks

No, Lit is not compulsory. You are given the choice to do either Lit, or His, or Geog. Two humanities if you are in Humanity ; and one humanity if you are in Science 1.

So it looks like ACSBR will take in all ACSP and ACSJ kids who applied for it and whatever leftover vacancies will be opened to non-affiliated applicants.


If you refer to the chart for the ACSP/ACSJ, there are about 280+ who do not qualify for ACSI (COP 235).

Assuming there are 8 classes of 40, total 320 and there will be some ACS kids who have >235 but opt to go to ACSBR due to the much lower fee or other reasons, there is a limited vacancies left.

Hi, may I know how I can get my ds in to ACSBR using his PSLE result? Is it through the normal selection form where we list down our 6 choices of schools? Or by submitting an appeal form to the school?

[indilemma]

In the 2014 selection for secondary school booklet, ACS Barker has got no code. How do we even put it as one of the 6 choices? ...


Any idea how is the school culture like? Is it as 'rich' as ACS(I) and who can share any info on 'O' level results attained as well as school discipline and other info.

TIA.
