Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

It’s a strategic move to move the GEP center due to its inherent appeal to many. (I feel) The demographics for ACSP/GEP likely has a larger community of neighbourhood children than ACSJ. Gotta look at the broader horizon…

Let's see if NYPS will be next in line to set up schools in Pasir Ris, Woodlands and Jurong West hahahhahaa.
Honestly Innova JC is one of the newest JC that was built but when merger arrived, Innova moved into YJC, a much older JC. Now Innova is vacant for a few years but what a waste of resources....there aren't any branded schools in Woodlands at all both pri and sec level yet the population catchment area is huge.

OT:
I see on the street directory map, the piece of land where the former Innova JC is located is huge. Very nice piece of land with two MRT stations and interchange right next to it!

You are right that there is no good school in Woodlands area even though the area is even bigger than Tengah. Could it be that MOE has statistics showing that the people staying in woodlands mostly go to poly instead of JC? Perhaps why Republic Poly is there though.

Since Innova JC moved out, I think can get NJC to be relocated there. There is no reason why two good JCs, NJC and Hwa Chong JC, need to face each other across the road. Move one over to Woodlands to benefit residents in the North, especially the Woodlands the MRT infrastructure is so comprehensive

I watched the interview by someone related from ACS which I cant remember who. But he said the old boys must be happy ACS turn co-ed because now they can put their daughters in ACS. I was thinking, wives no opinion? Sure will send daughter to ACS? Especially wives who were old girl of MGS/St nick/SCGS/nanyang? Want to give reasons also come up with a better one lah :roll:


The only people who will be interested and benefit from it are those without any ties with ACS and staying in Tengah.

Sending young children to 2 different schools in the morning traffic is not desirable. 5 days a week some more! I do think it is a valid reason.

Good point though, that those staying around and in Tengah do benefit from this. A good reason for new couples to explore living there.

I think Tengah is already very popular, even before the ACSP news is made known. HDB / government doesn't need the school to drive up the subscription rate for Tengah.

waste time, travelling + face traffic jam.

Imagine.
You stay less than 1 km, from SCGS.

You have one son + one daughter. Daughter go SCGS primary in the city because Mother is Phase 2 SCGS Alumni,
while
son go ACSP in Tengah because father is Phase 2 ACSP Alumni.

What happen ?
Everyday, Mon to Fri, every Term 1 to Term 4, for 6 years from P1 to P6, in the morning, father/ mother drive kids, in two different direction. Troublesome ?

Wow, what a comprehensive list. Were you looking to buy around there? Those who bought must be rejoicing! (Going forward the buying audience will likely be targeting the GEP school.)

Agreed. Therefore, I think it is a valid reason.

I think phttph is trying to say, for those staying within 1km of SCGS and daughters are with SCGS, it would be troublesome to send sons to ACSP Tengah. So ACSP should stay put at the current premises.

Therefore, If I stay within 1km of SCGS Pri, and my daughter is attending SCGS Pri, I will ballot for ACSJ or SJI Jnr instead of relocating to Tengah.

My friends whose sons are in ACS and daughters in MGS Pri/SCGS Pri/St Nic/NYPS etc., I do not hear them complain about it being troublesome to send their children to separate schools. Rather, they seem rather proud that their daughters study in the above mentioned schools.

Most importantly, MGS Pri/SCGS Pri/St Nic/NYPS girls enjoy affiliation to a good sec school. Whereas girls from ACSP Tengah enjoy nothing (not affiliated to MGS sec). So for parents who are alumni of these branded girls schools are not likely to send their daughters to a co-ed ACSP Tengah.
