Hi does anyone know details of the year 3 intake for 2017? How many are from existing year 2 express cohort, and what were the criteria/average% for year 1 and 2 grades?


thanks

Hi, if my boy has no CCA achievements and academic for P5 SA2 (all subjects above 80%) can I still try? worth the effort to give it a try for DSA?

Hello all, my DS got in ACS independent express for Sec 1 2017 intake. Quite happy but anxious at the same time, not sure if there is a separate thread for parents…

Hi,

For parents whose boys go to acsi by train… can I check which is the least stress route to take? Board a train from either bishan or Marymount or take a train to jurong and change? Any idea is bishan easier to board or jurong? And which is a better station to alight, buona vista, one north or Dover?

Hi all,

Couldn't find any separate thread for Sec 1 express so I am here back again. Hope to get the parents whose child is starting ACSI Sec 1 Express in coming January... I have some general questions though, really appreciate if can get some pointers-

1. Is there any orientation for Sec 1 parents?
2. We will be collecting the uniform and books on 22nd Dec so I assume that DS is expected to be in full school uniform and carry all the books to school on 3rd Jan, please advice
3. Whats the best way of transportation from Bukit Gombak to ACSI (apart from driving), is there any school bus available?
4. Do they need to choose CCA on day 1 itself or will be given a grace period to think before opting for it?
5. If DS has not taken mandarin as second language for primary schooling, is it mandatory to learn mandarin in ACSI (Sorry for the silly question but a colleague of mine insisted that they HAVE to take mandarin, though DS has not opted for mandarin but for last 2 years I have put him through mandarin classes to learn it outside the school curriculum)

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,


I understand that there is a Humanities Scholarship Programme at ACS(I) which my child is interested in. Can anyone share insights about this?

Thanks.

So does anyone know what is to be brought on the first day 3 Jan ? It says on the booklet that the first part is class allocation, after which would be lessons according to timetable. That doesn’t mean anything to me since i don’t have any timetable. Do books need to be brought on the first day? It is also unclear whether the tie is supposed to be worn with the badge or not on the first day!
