Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

2030 P1 boys and girls would enter a new campus removed from the legacy of barker road. Only P1 teachers will follow while the rest remain at Barker to handle the rest of the older cohorts. Without the usual osmosis that occurs between the older ones and the newbies, it remains to be seen how much of the culture will follow to Tengah. In 2030, would ACSP and its older boys at Barker automatically be scheduled against the schools in the West zone for NSG?

However, need to consider that 330 would have to be spilt between boys / girls.

Report mentioned intake increment (for every level) from 240 to 330.
Assuming a 50% spilt, that's a net lost of 75 places for boys (330/2 - 240 = -75) compared to the current situation. -
Not just ACS is shifting, another school in Bukit Batok east shifting to Bukit Batok west, which is nearer to Tengah. 🤔

P1 intake will increase from 240 to 330, so that will be an additional 90 vacancies.

Report mentioned intake increment (for every level) from 240 to 330.
Phase 1 - It was mentioned that by 2030 siblings of students studying at ACS Barker in 2029 will continue at ACS Barker till they finish P6, so we can assume that there will not be any Phase 1 applicants for ACS(T) 2030 intake.
320-0 = 320
Phase 2A - Since ACST is an old school in a new location, the number of eligible applicants will not change. However considering the location of Tengah which may be far from the place of residence for alumni and teaching staffs, we can expect that this number of applicants will be lower even if we include girls in the application.
Historically, the applicant number at P2A for ACS(B) is around 100, so lets keep this unchanged
320-100 = 220
Phase 2B -
* Whose parent has joined the primary school as a parent volunteer not later than 1 July of the year before P1 registration and has given at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school by 30 June of the year of P1 registration.
* Whose parent is a member endorsed by the church or clan directly connected with the primary school.
* Whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader.
Children who gain priority admission into a school under the \"Parent is endorsed as an active community leader\" eligibility and the school is within 2km of their address used for registration is required to reside at that address for at least 30 months from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise, which is 29 June 2022 for the 2022 exercise.
The takeup rate for P2B under community leader may be higher due to larger pool of young parents in Tengah. For those applying under this phase, they will need to relocate to within 2km of ACS (T) 30 months before 2030. So properties within 2km radius of ACST will also be in high demand.
However, we can also expect that some parents attending Barker Road church may not choose Tengah due to distance.
In 2022 the number of applicants under P2B is around 55. Assuming we maintain the same.
220 - 55 = 165
With potential 165 vacancies for P2C, this should allow families living within 1km to get into ACS quite easily, as least for 2030 and 2031 intake. So expect properties within 1km of ACS T to be in very high demand due to potential high rental yield. Since Tengah is a new estate, there will be very few HDB rental units available due to MOP. -

ACSP in Barker will still be taking in students after 2030 under phase 1.
However, need to consider that 330 would have to be spilt between boys / girls.
Assuming a 50% spilt, that's a net lost of 75 places for boys (330/2 - 240 = -75) compared to the current situation. -
MOE may eventually abolish affiliation for all school?

I don’t think the article suggests that. How did you come to that conclusion? If anything, it goes to show that the demand for affiliation is stronger than ever.

Besides, MOE won’t abolish affiliation… unless someone in MOE doesn’t like the Education Minister or the Education Minister thinks he / she wants to retire from politics already, and political suicide is a great idea. -

No need to politicize this topic, but I do agree affiliation will not be abolished unless Govt-aided schools are no more. Govt alr control %tage for affiliation admissions. If next step is abolishing affiliation, then they’ve got to take more steps to meet all mission schools & clans to abolish. In fact, the article signals that ACSP(T) will tie in with other schools to enable affiliation after PSLE.
