With the shock development that ACSP has to relocate to Tengah, I think anything can happen now, really up to MOE to decide.

I feel that RGPS is quite vulnerable given that it is sandwiched between two other girls schools nearby (MGS Pri and SCGS Pri) plus there’s another GEP centre (NYPS) that is just 5 mins away. Who knows, it could well be the next one to be relocated to Punggol/Sengkang area and ‘advised’ to go co-ed as well. -
Singapore education direction has been heading towards less exclusive for decades

Excerpt from this year RI principal welcome speech:
“Diversity, Inclusivity and Community Engagement
Looking back to 1987 and in support of the school turning independent, an ad-hoc committee of distinguished alumni had committed to then-Minister for Education Dr Tony Tan that RI would continue to admit pupils based on academic merit, and that “no pupil who qualify for admission into Raffles will be denied his place because of his social background or financial circumstances”. Since 1990, when RI became an independent school, we have remained steadfast to this commitment, with student admission based solely on merit and not affiliation. We heeded the aspirations of our alumni for RI to remain an inclusive school, regardless of race or social backgrounds, as it has always been from the outset.
The school took on this commitment with renewed vigour in 2018 when we introduced three broad principles to guide our programming approach. These are diversity, inclusivity and community engagement (D.I.C.E). The aim is to ensure that highly capable students from less well-to-do families are not deterred from joining RI, just because they feel they may not belong here. This is the affinity gap that we continue to bridge consciously. Our belief is that students from diverse backgrounds interacting together enriches the social learning environment of RI, deepens the learning of empathy, and strengthens our social compact. “ -

What will be the gender mix in this new school?
what will be the expected cohort size? currently 240?
How many GEP classes can we expect in in 2033? currently 2?
Post 2030, will ACSP still take in new P4 GEP students at Barker Road?
Will enlarging the cohort size at ACSP lead to higher affiliation COP to ACS sec? -

I went to open up the petition link to read the comments. I can understand why some ACSP parents are unhappy because it’s just too sudden and a very drastic move at that.
Quite a handful of the ACSP parents and alumni are unhappy that they have to move out of ACSP current premises to have ACSJ move in to take over. Regarding this, actually a bit unfair to ACSP alumni. So ACSP alumni sons and grandsons forever need to go Tengah while ACSJ alumni sons and grandsons can go Bukit Timah/Newton area?
Another comment claims that the BOG chairman was from ACSJ. If that is the case, is there a conflict of interest to suggest ACSJ move in to Barker Road compound while ACSP moves to Tengah? -

Sudden? But all the kids in school today are not affected. That's 6 years. No matter when they do it, some group of students will be affected.

My 两角钱价值:
ACSP currently located in atas estate. So the affluent folks will have the advantage when enrolling child into it. And alumni will have the advantage in enrolment too - the opportunity stays in the family.
To expand fairness as much possible, is not to bring the opportunity to as many families as possible? Newton or Tengah, has more families?
We all know about the concept of diversifications. We have all heard the expression “ACS own Spore” thru businesses. It will benefits the ACS alumni bosses too if they can recruit ACS graduates in future that grew up in the heartlands and knows what the average folk need. May translate to more business success with better product that meet the needs of the masses. -

No..no... no such thing as \"ACS own Spore\", at least I don't find any special privileges enjoyed by my colleagues who came from ACS. Singapore is belong to all Singaporeans and not owned by people from any school.

Sudden as in to receive the news that ACSP will go co-ed and relocate to Tengah just 5mins before the press release. Many parents, students and teachers were shocked and left confused.
Sudden? But all the kids in school today are not affected. That's 6 years. No matter when they do it, some group of students will be affected.
It’s like my hub told me a decade ago we might upgrade our house in the future then in 2023, suddenly informed me that our house has been sold and it’s done deal!! I think I will be extremely shocked too
