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

floppy deals with properties is the only best way to see this 😉
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.)[/quote] -

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. -

I was just curious with a lot of assertions that ACSP is brought over to increase the demand / attractiveness of Tengah. Based on the limited data on the demand of Tengah BTO (available on HDB), I think people are going to pick Tengah with or without ACSP. While ACSP is likely to be a plus factor, I don't think Tengah needs ACSP. -

Tengah new town is a SMART town. Just read that it will have roads underground and only walking and cycling on the ground level, more green space etc. Centralised system for air con and waste collection... One of the kind. Can read more abt it. Alr know of junior who has bought new bto there before the announcement of schools.

Oh really? It sounds like we interpreted what she said differently. I’m quite sure she meant that traveling to 2 different schools can be exhausting for parents.

Those who don’t wanna send their children to Tengah, can stay in ACSJ! Win-win.
Your friends are (too) polite, of course we are proud of our alma mater and have so much pride seeing our kids going to the same school that we went to. But, logistic wise.. madness every morning! -

Yes, definitely she meant time wasted on traveling.

But in the example cited, the family lives within 1km of SCGS Pri and daughter is with SCGS Pri. ACSP Barker is just next door. So alumni dad has to send son to Tengah after the relocation and time will be wasted on traveling and it’s troublesome.
I am not sure how many such parents will give up SCGS Pri (which is affiliated to SCGS sec) for ACSP Tengah especially when girls there have no affiliation to the highly coveted MGS Sec.
For ACSP Tengah boys staying in Tengah, they better do well in PSLE, or else they need to travel from Tengah to Newton for ACS Barker. At least 2hrs+ per day traveling to and fro if taking public transport.
