Anglo Chinese Family of Schools

[Totorolongmao]

Hi,


The ACS OBA includes the entire ACS family right up to ACJC. I would like to find out for primary 1 registration, phase 2A1, does it mean whoever is in OBA qualifies even if he was only from the secondary/JC? Or phase 2A1 is strictly for OBA members from the PRIMARY school?

Thanks!

I’m concerned because i have heard of other schools such as st nicks that have a combined alumni resulting in balloting at phase 2a1!

Phase 2A1 applies only to alumni of the specific ACS (Primary or Junior) school that you are applying to. So if you had studied in ACSP and belong to the OBA, you can apply there in Phase 2A1. Ditto with ACSJ.


Being an old student of any of the AC secondary schools or ACJC counts for nothing in P1 registration, regardless of whether you belong to the OBA or not.

What are the chances of getting into either ACS Primary or Junior if we live outside the 2km radius? Should I even bother? My husband did not attend ACS so might only be able to try for phase 2b under church membership. Thank you!

For ACS Primary, no chance. You have to be within 1 km for both Phase 2B & 2C.

For ACS Junior, usually you will have a chance for balloting in Phase 2B, but no chance at all in Phase 2C. FYI, last year there were only 10 seats left for those > 2km in Phase 2B and there were more than 50 applicants!

depend on whether the Secondary school is a full school, or not.

Reminder that only ACS (Primary) and ACS (Junior) old boys, qualify to send theirs sons go back to their respective primary school.

Old boys of only ACS (Secondary) not eligible -
because ACS Secondary is not a full school.


in contrast, old girls from CHIJ St Nicholas Secondary, qualify to send their daughters back to St Nick primary, because St Nick Secondary IS a full school. They have a combined alumni, resulting in balloting at phase 2a1!

Yes, this is correct. Only the primary school alumni are eligible to register for their old school only. They are not even eligible to register for the other primary school. Of course, the number might be increasing, but so far no balloting required in Phase 2A.

true

reminder that
- only ACS (Primary) old boys : qualify to send their sons back to ACS (Primary), only.
These old boys, cannot register at ACS (Junior).


- only ACS (Junior) old boys : qualify to send their sons back to ACS (Junior), only.
These old boys, cannot register at ACS(Primary).




==================================================


the \"sister\" school to ACS :
MGS (Secondary), IS a full school.

for Methodists
ACS (Secondary) is not a full school
but, MGS (Secondary) is.


for Catholic
in contrast to ACS, both \"brother and sister\" Catholic schools, are full schools.
Catholic High and St Nick : are \"brother and sister\" mission schools.

eg
Catholic High (Secondary), IS a full school.

CHIJ St Nicholas (Secondary), IS also a full school.


Maris Stella High (Secondary), IS a full school.
But Maris Stella High (boys) : doesn't have a \"sister\" school, to pair up with.


although above 5 are missionary schools, yet there is a difference, in terms of full school.



SCGS (Secondary) : although non-missionary, IS also a full school.

What do you think will happen in phase 2C this year for the above schools? It looks like both may end up going for ballot under 1km. So far junior seems to be following last year’s trend, but primary looks to be going for ballot at 2A2. I think this has never happened before. Am I right?

Looks like it. Those old boys who chose not to join the OBA would be kicking themselves when they're balloted out in 2A2.

While ACSP might be going against the trend, it seems that ACSJ is still following the trend. There might still be balloting in 2B for those >2km and 2C for those <1km.

based on Moe statistics, for Phase 2A(1) alumni (kids born 2010, year of Tiger) -
out of 126 vacancies available for Phase 2A(1), 119 had already registered.

Yes, more than > 100+ over kids had registered in 2A1
(seldom see so many kids registered, in this alumni Phase)

126 - 119 = 7 vacancies left, for ex students in remaining Phase 2A(2)


question :
Will there be more than 7 kids registering in Phase 2A(2), next Tuesday ?
If Yes, then ACS (primary) will ballot, under Phase 2A(2).
