Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)

Hi just checking...any parents know if the boys have received (or will be receiving) any printed notes for their Scratch Coding course?


My P2 told me that they have started the course during their PAL/ICT lesson (dunno which), and he seems to understand & remember the steps in his head (how to instruct the cat to “talk” in the speech bubble), but I would like to know exactly what they have been taught, whether it’s simple enough for parents to download the software to learn together at home etc.

Just to follow up. Today kiddo said they have done a part 2: Scratch combined with this robot called m0way. Apparently the school has invested in 1 robot per child so that each can have a proper go. I found a YouTube tutorial which gives a glimpse into what they are learning: https://youtu.be/cHowCzPkd1g

Still no notes from the school though

Hi mummychef,

I just learned that The Learning Harbour will be closing down on 31 December 2018.

You might want to check out the other centre as mentioned by zac's mum.

Hi mummychef,

Learning Harbour (Cairnhill CC) said they will either be closing down or moving to another location (10 Windstedt). They will decide in the next 2 weeks.

Learning Leap (Goldhill) will be moving to Thong Teck Building (next to the American Club) beginning of next year.

SJIJ and ACSP both have in-house after school care but they don't accept students from other schools.

Does anyone know of any other student care centres we can explore near ACSJ?

[laubanniang]

Or does anyone know if ACSJ will ever come up with its own student care? Didn't they say all primary schools will have in-house student centres by 2020? Well I guess that's still 2 more years till the deadline

Try to push for (or at least indicate your stronginterest for) the location at 10 Winstedt. It is just next door to the school and very convenient.


No news about any in-house student care, but principal did mention some minor upgrading works being planned next few years. That could possibility include an in-house student care. But no news yet.

Hi! My boy has been allocated to LSG house. I don’t seem to have seen any boys in a grey top. Is grey house’s PE attire a brown/nude singlet?

LSG is grey sleeves PE top. There are boys wearing it.

Don’t worry, LSG (grey) singlet is definitely still around.

The beige/nude singlet which is being phased out is TCT house. That one has been changed to a bright orange.
