      What I heard from my boy was due to covid, the teachers could not or did not have time to meet up and coordinate the papers

        In previous years, ACSJ and ACSP shared a common prelim paper. But in 2021, the 2 school had separate exam papers.

        Anyone have any comments on the difference between the 2 schools’ papers? Can I assume that (as per the P1-P5 trend) ACSP papers are more difficult than ACSJ?

        Also, any insiders from JS know why the school suddenly decided not to have the same paper as PS?[/quote]
        One possible reason could be the results disparity from having the same exam paper. It could be one school has strong academics than the other, so they want to pitch at appropriate levels.[/quote]
        I understand what U mean. All along JS parents know that their sons would have to buck up by P6 to be on par with PS’ standard, since the prelim was jointly-set (to a higher standard I presumed).

        Therefore I was surprised that they deviated from the usual this year. Is it to make the JS prelim results look better/less demoralizing for the boys? :?[/quote]The other possible reason is due to covid. Lowd01 has got a more valid reason.

            Was there a change in leaders/management? New Principals or HODs may decide they want their own.

              No, don’t have.

              However, the current beloved principal has been promoted to Cluster Superintendent (South) and will be leaving this December.

              So next year we will have a new principal.

                  Hello, i want to ask about CCA from P3 onwards. according to the school website. if kid chooses a sport CCA, he has to choose one team sport in first semester and one individual sport in second semester. is this also applied to P4- P6? and also is the kid allowed to choose one sport and one club CCA in the same academic year? there was one post in this topic also mentioned that some CCA needs balloting. Could anyone share more about this? thank u!

                    U can read more here (if u haven’t already):

                    https://acsj.moe.edu.sg/our-ccas/acsplore-modular-sports-cca

                    I believe if u want to take a 2nd CCA (Eg. a club CCA), it is possible but subject to availability/approval.

                    Balloting is conducted if demand exceeds supply. It would help if u state the specific CCA you’re talking about, then a helpful parent with experience can respond.

                      thank you zac’s mum. my son played soccer since 4 years old. He will choose it as team sport. for individual sports, swimming , badminton or table tennis could be a choice. But all of these four sports are stated as "hot" sports on the website and subjects to availability after returning kids took a seat first. I am wondering any kids with similar hobbies have gone through a balloting process and how it works…

                        one more question, if 1st sem soccer + 2nd sem swimming is allowed, why is 1st sem soccer + 2nd sem science club considered two CCA?
