2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

What’s the difference between Anglo Chinese Primary and Anglo Chinese Junior?


Anglo Chinese Primary had such a high take up rate at 74 registrations

I will be registering only on the 2nd day of 2B. How do I find out before I register, the number of applicants who are staying <1km? Will the school reveal? I am thinking of Ai Tong. Does anyone know if it is difficult to get an answer from them or do they post the numbers on some public notice board for all to see as the applications come in?

Wow, quite surprise to see the takeup rate for KH is much faster than Taonan. I usually thought Taonan is of a more popular choice and should see a faster pace in Phase 1 and 2A(1)

hi fur-ma,

Ai Tong is a very popular school traditionally and they will be used to dishing out such information. Some school info pages may even list the applicants based on distance (not sure if AT does that). I would suggest to try the website to see if they did post; failing that, call them or better still, ask them at the registration centre.

Good luck!

This is only 2A(1) - could be many ex-pupils etc don't have kids registering this year? it's a bit early to call. but if end up KH is more popular, my feel would be that parents are scared off by TN's registration history....and the consequence is that they aim for the 'easier' KH.

ACSP has more old boys. ACSP are old boys from Coleman Street while the ones from ACJS are from Cairnhill/Barker.

Also P2A(1) is for alumni and parent who are on the school advisory / management committee, so it could be also that parents don't wish to join the alumni and want to go for P2A2 instead. Usually need to pay fees to join as alumni. Since there's no balloting base on historic data for P2A, parents might not be motivated to join as alumi, relying on P2A2 instead.

Can imagine P2A2 having high registrations for the popular schools…

Hi guys thanks for all your help and comments. I have decided to register my boy in cat high as an old boy, why is it highlighted in red in the above tables? Does it mean at phase 2a2 i have to ballot?? slight panic again... being parent damn stressful!!!! pls advise thank you

If you're registering your son under P2A2, you are safe. 'Red' means balloting required for those staying within 1km.

Ya balloting for P2B and P2C, think after P2A2, there will be more schools with such trend.
