he has to be the OB of that particular primary school in order to get into the priority Q. Same for all pr schools for P1 registration!

Not all lah. It does not apply to full schools. For full schools, if the parent studied only in the sec school, then their kids automatically qualify for phase 2A of the affiliated primary school.

Gasp keroppi, do you mind explaining this then?

What's the definition of a full school? Can you give examples of full schools? Sounds like ACS is not considered a full school, from your previous reply.

Used to be able to go to the MOE website's List of School's Directory and select Full school option (now they call it Mixed Level??). There's only 5 schools that fall into this category: MGS, SCGS, SNGS, CHS, MSHS. For full schools, I think they have only 1 principal presiding over both sec and pri schools.

These pri schools enjoy longer year-end holidays - school term ends with the sec school (usually abt 2-3 weeks earlier than the other pri schools).

Hi,


Just to clarify, so does it means that husband is from ACS (sec) and ACS JC can apply either Primary or Junior?

No, he qualifies for neither.

The hubby must be from ACS Pri to be able to apply for ACS Pri.
The same goes for Junior.

can apply but ONLY from 2B onwards. Right?

There's a question raised in MGS thread.

Just wondering. Assuming the school was not previously 'full-school' and only converted in 2000, how does it affect pre-2000 ex-students who did not attend MGPS.

No, it's beter than that. It falls under phase 2A.
2A1 if you are an alumni member, 2A2 otherwise.
Phase 2B is for church/clan affiliates, grassroot leaders and pvs.

What I meant is that if father is not OLD boy of Pr or Jr, and do not qualify for 2A or earlier, they can still apply from 2B onwards provided they quaify under those cats.

BTW, does PS and JS have the same chinese name?

Hi Guys,


If daddy is not from the pri school, you are only eligible for phase 2C even if daddy is a member of the OBA (Old boys association). I’ve just verified that with the school.

[Nebbermind]

well, like what keroppi mentioned, can still get into 2B thru church/clan affiliates, grassroot leaders and pvs
