For SC within 1km to ACSP and ACSJ, which school has more chance under phase 2C? Need to join church to play safe?
Refer source of info
https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/prima ... es#Central
At the end of 2016 Phase 2A(1), kids born in Year of Tiger -
How many seats are left, at ACS (Junior) ?
Answer : 154 - 65 = 89
In contrast, How about ACS (Primary)?
only 7 seats, left
which school is more popular, or much harder to get in ?
Is it Junior or Primary ?
There is a very big difference, between 89 seats vs 7 seats left, isn't it ?
The number itself : indicate which is easier to enter, doesn't it ?
Why, so ?
Primary bear the Gep status, whereas Junior doesn't bear Gep status.
Junior is ordinary, Mainstream.
At the end of Primary 3 -
If your son in Junior is offered Gep by Moe, after clearing 2 round of P3 screening tests, he can transfer to Primary readily, as Junior is given priority to transfer to Primary, if student can clear the tests.
If you refer past P1 registration stats, somehow parents have this urge, very keen to enrol their kid into Schools, that bear the Gep status.
Look at so many parents eager to enrol into Nanyang, Henry Park, Catholic High, St Hilda, Nan Hua, Tao Nan, Rosyth. -
phtthp:
Your reasoning may apply for Phase 2B onwards but for 2A1 so it's only for alumni (2A2 for former students). If they wanted to, ACPS alumni / former students cannot apply to ACJS as they are not alumni of the junior school.BigMomma:

I am an old boy. Quite a number of us had no idea about GEP, the specific school programs etc - I certainly don't and am only starting to educated in the last couple of weeks when I read this forum more actively.
For most of the old boys, it is quite natural to send our sons to our old school.
I think it's just how the numbers lie this year where quite a few old boys' sons are born in 2010. Some have also mentioned that ACJS was a smaller school in the old days hence less old boys compared to ACPS. By contract, ACJS is a larger school today with 270 seats vs. ACPS's 240 seats also add to number of vacancies for subsequent phases. -
Grimm, well said!

Anyone can shed some light onto the definition of old boys? Would someone studied in ACS Ipoh be considered old boys?

No. Only those who studied in either ACS (Primary) or ACS (Junior) are considered old boys. Even then, they can't cross-register. Alumni of ACSP are only eligible to register for ACSP. -
Definition of acs old boys. First we call it Acps not acps. Coleman/Armenian street. Our lunch at Burger King peninsula. PE at fort canning. After school no homework and run to river valley swimming pool. Play chatek during recess. That’s old boys.

And MPH down the street. However, that's just old boys from ACPS .
The JS boys will have different stories, I'm sure.
On a more related note, looks it's balloting for 2A2 for ACS(P)..... -
28 students registered under 2A2 for ACS(P), but only 7 seats are available. Therefore, is it confirmed that 2A2 will have balloting? Is it rare in the recent years?
Thanks!grimm:

It has never happened before. Last year SNGS made history for being the 1st school to have balloting at Phase 2A1. This year ASCP has made history for being oversubscribed 4 times at Phase 2A2.28 students registered under 2A2 for ACS(P), but only 7 seats are available. Therefore, is it confirmed that 2A2 will have balloting? Is it rare in the recent years?
Thanks!
Whether or not there will be balloting this Friday, depends on whether there were more than 7 SCs within 1km. Only the school knows for now. MOE website is still not updated yet. Guess they are waiting for final calculations from the school... -
zac's mum:
Yes, within these 28 applicants, for balloting, they will check how many are SC, how many are PR ?

Within the SC, they will check :
How many reside within 1 km, how many within (1 to 2 km), how many outside 2 km ?
Usually, SC within 1 km are spared from balloting, unless out of 28, happen that more than 7 SC are already within 1 km, in which case balloting for SC within 1 km will take place : and the rest (SC outside 1 km and all PR, no need to ballot)
Or
If suppose out of 28 : only 7 SC are within 1 km, the rest are outside 1 km, then no need to ballot, because the 7 SC within 1 km, just fit into the 7 remaining vacancies, nicely.
If you are one of the 28, can contact school now, find out who are involved in balloting ?
Important thing now for school, is to count how many SC, are within each distance range. Tomorrow Fri is balloting day, for all schools, for Phase 2A(2)
You are right. This year of Tiger, ACS (Primary) made history at Phase 2A(2). Rare some more, as it is year of Tiger
If really need to ballot, then ratio is 4 : 1 (28 divide by remaining 7 vac)
Means out of every 4 kids, only 1 can get in
The others who got balloted out : got to goto other neighbourhood schools, to study
Every primary school, fall into a neighbourhood
