For your child that was born in 2005, most of the PV application would close in either May or June 2010. Since there is just around 2 weeks from now, you may want to see any schools accepting PV.

[quote=\"friednemo\"]Hi, i have a question here. For RVPS, if i am staying next to the school and my hubby is an alumni of the school, will my child stand a better chance to get in? :?


Thanks a million for viewing.

Wow you defintely get into a place especially hubby is an alumni of the school. You would be Phase 2A(1).

Thank you so much for the reply titank.

Luckily i got my hubby to join the Alumni early.

Another Question:
I was from ACJC but i am not sure if they have any alumni club/association. I do know of OBA but i think its only for ACS boys from ACS(J), ACS(P), ACS(Barker) and ACS(I). Anyone can provide information on that?

Thank you for reading. Have a nice day/weekend ahead. :D[/quote]Hi, I was from ACJC as well and have been a member of the OBA for years. The OBA is open to all former students of schools from the ACS family, including ladies from ACJC like myself.

Unfortunately, being an ex-student of ACJC and a member of OBA does not qualify you to register in Phase 2A or even 2B. It's 2C, together with the masses! The parent must be an ex-student of ACPS or ACJS to be entitled to Phase 2A in the respective school.

hi puliyadi, unfortunately, the only popular school in that vicinity (that accepts girls) I am aware of is Hong Wen - which is a SAP school and offers only chinese as mother tongue...

ACSJ TUR still inline with previous years of intake but ACSP totally unexpected of 57.08% TUR.

Actually it is not surprising. Phase 2A2 is not yet started. For ACSP, the historical TUR up to Phase 2A has always been more than 80%, leaving less than 20% for Phase 2B and 2C :shock:

I think the trend of no balloting within 1km for ACSP in P2C will end this year... So many new, high-rise condos in the 1km vicinity!

Hi, Chief Kiasu.

I strongly agreed what you said.

For me, it's a very worrying trend (hope to send my boy to ACSP but not being an old boy, only way out is to try to get in from 2B which is very competitive).

Praying for God blessing.
