hi



It seem that the school to take PV. Wonder is they accept active community leader. I am not christain so cannot volunteer for church.

Hi temjin68,

Unfortunately, both ACS and ACSJ do not accept PV. You can only sign up as PV under the Parent Support Group after your child is in the school.

The only way will be staying within 1km of the school. If the study the pass balloting history, ACSJ might have better chance or rather slightly more seat as compare to ACS Pri under 2C Phrase. If I'm remember correctly, for last year, within 1km (no balloting), only those within 1 to 2km have balloting. Then again, no one can predict what can happen. Is still safer to be within 1km distance range.

Hi, I am asking on behalf of my nephew.


His dad is an old boy from ACS secondary but not primary school, so if he joins the OBA, will he qualify for phase 2A? Or do you have to be an old boy of ACS Primary / ACS Junior?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, he has to be an old boy from ACSP or ACSJ to qualify for Phase2A.

Both school esp Primary @ Barker are just difficult to get in. ACS PRIMARY has 8 Classes for P1 whereas Junior has 9 classes cos Junior has a biggeR premise.


ACS PRIMARY premise has BRMC(Church), BRMCK(Kindergarten), Primary School & Secondary School.

ACS JUNIOR occupys whole building.

For ACS fans, better try ACS Junior as balloting result always shown abt a class more for vacancies. 240(Pri) vs 270(Junior)

Good Luck to all parents who registrating children this year! :celebrate:

ACS Primary has always had very high TUR by the end of Phase 2A. From the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/novena, in 2006, the TUR by Phase 2A was 90%! At 79% this year, this is the lowest in the past 4 years.

I have obtained directly from both ACS Primary & ACSJunior last year PSLE results. ACS Pri results definitely better than Junior. Primary had done well for all 4 subjects. Their overall result for Chinese is also 2% above National Average
