phtthp:

How about, another scenario ?


Example

Suppose a student had studied previously in ACS primary (Singapore), for three years, in (P1 to P3, lower primary).

At end of P3, after clearing 2 rounds of GEP tests :-
This Student was offered GEP, by MOE.
As this student prefer a SAP environment back then, so he transferred successfully to Catholic High Junior, for (P4 to P6, GEP) in 1990s, hence Left ACS primary.
His PSLE certificate showed that he graduated from Catholic High Junior years ago, but not from ACS primary.

Now, this student grew up, get married, have a son.


Question

This parent know that he can proceed to enrol his son under ex-student Phase 2A(2), into ACS (primary, Sg) : because he still have the report card, to prove that he was an ex-student, for three years (P1 to P3).


But, If he's thinking of enrolling his son under ACS alumni Phase 2A(1),
Will he still be able to do so, because his PSLE certificate showed that he didn't graduate in P6 from ACS (primary), but graduated from another school, (Catholic High) instead ?
(assuming that he doesn't mind paying $500 fees, to join ACS OLd boys association)


does joining alumni Phase 2A(1) means : on condition that, one must have graduated in PSLE, from that particular primary school (Sg)?

Thank you, for clarification.

I think based on MOE's guidelines at https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases, you don't have to graduate from the school of choice, but I might be wrong.

Phase 2A(1)

(a) For a child whose parent is a former student of the primary school and who has joined the alumni association as a member not later than 30 June 2016

(b) For a child whose parent is a member of the School Advisory / Management Committee


Phase 2A(2)

(a) For a child whose parent or sibling has studied in the primary school of choice

(b) For a child whose parent is a staff member of the primary school of choice

Thanks very much, for above reply.

Appreciated.


Because in some other primary schools, in order to come under Alumni Phase 2A(1) :-
The student must have graduated at P6, from that particular primary school, with a PSLE certificate, from the school.

Otherwise, if just merely studied in that school before, for x number of years, but subsequently student get transferred out to another primary school, never graduate at all from P6 there, then cannot.
At the very most,
This student can Enrol, under ex-student Phase 2A(2), but not under Alumni Phase 2A(1). Inspite of the fact that u are willing to pay Alumni fees before date-line set, Alumni of this primary school doesn't allow.


One example, is :
An \"All-Girls\" GEP primary school.

The current staff in charge of that school's alumni Matter, had confirmed in writing, concerning this.

Example

The Terms & Condition, to join Alumni Phase 2A(1), in RGPS, are as follow:-
- applicants to be at least above 19 years old

PLUS

- applicants MUST have graduated, from RGPS.

Firstly, if that person does not qualify as an alumni member, then it’ll automatically rule him out if that phase.

Quite simple, right?
If not happy, then challenge the school’s alumni assn lah

The good news is, ACS OBA allows you to join even if you didn't graduate from ACS.

Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for life membership, applicants must be 18 and above, must have attended any of the ACS schools for at least one year; or must be teachers or former teachers of any of the ACS schools for at least five years.

You can refer to https://www.acsoba.net/join.

I see.

Thanks very much, once again, galaxy raider. Much Appreciated.

so it seems that is up to individual primary school's Alumni association, to set their Terms & condition, to let applicants join the Alumni (inspite of applicants willing to pay fees).

In the case of RGPS :
is not good enough to be an ex-student, but must have graduated from the school, itself. So, different primary schools set different criteria

Hi all,


I would like to ask if any parents with boys at ACSP shedding some light of the school’s discipline and Programmes? How do you find the school so far? From P5, does the school offer higher Chinese? As we are considering transferring our boys there.

Thanks in Advance.

May I know how do you plan to transfer your son there? Through GEP program? I don't think it's easy to get a transfer to ACSP.

Are you an alumni? If you're not, your chance to get in is very slim. Phase 2B & 2C are usually only for applicants who live < 1 km from the school.

[clioclio]

Yes alumni: applying thru Phase 2A. How can i find out about school buses?
