Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

Oh yes, and plus the high possibility of both your 2 boys ending up in the same sec school and the bonding/memories !

My boys love it when they take the bus or train home together (armed w hp for me to call them). Lots of independent ACSP boys gg home on their own,some starting from P4 onwards. Quite a few drop off at Nyps area ( bukit Timah red). Younger ones usu take sch bus.

Can any parent whose children got in through balloting help? I want to know if ACSP conducts an open or closed ballot ( i.e they pick out the ballot papers in front of parents/public or just announce to parents who are successful after they pick the names behind doors?). Thanks in advance.

I also want to know. I would be shocked if schools are allowed to have closed ballot. Where's the transparency then?

Hello!! My 1st time posting here.

My son is going to P1 next year and I am staying at Toa Payoh.
I not sure should put my son in the student care and my husband to drive him to and from the school or let him take Sch bus and my MIL look after for me.
Any suggestion? Anyone son going to ACS Pri and is also staying around Toa Payoh?
How much is the Sch fee and Sch bus now?
I called MCYS, the person told me the student care fee now is $321. Not sure next yr will increase or not.

Hi all. I made it through the nerve wrecking ballot yesterday and managed to get a place for DS. I am hoping someone can give me more info about other aspects of school. I am one of the 20 who got in without affiations, so I’m uncertain about lots of things. Do the PRI and sec students share all the resources? Are the miscellaneous fees more in this school? I am sure they will go through this during orientation but I’ m not sure when this will be.

Hi grapevine,.


Congrats! My son is going on next year too.
Orientation is on 04 Nov, 2 pm.

Primary school is at the front, right of the clock tower.

Uniforms are from Bibi and Baba.

Student care is mentioned above. If you can't find their email let me know.

That's about all I know so far. Physically the school has changed a fair bit for even the old boys so we are equally blur.

Hi Grimm! thanks for your reply. I guess will need to wait till orientation to find out more :hi5: .

For those are interested in afterschool care with their sons going to P1 in 2017, I was informed by the operator (MCYC) to come by their centre to register from 5th Sep to 9th Sep from 9am to 5pm.


(Not sure why I was told just these 5 days but you can call 6259-7579 to find out more if you are interested.)
