[Central] Primary Schools

phtthp:

usually people more concerned about academics standing, not so much about Rugby, soccer, etc.

I beg to differ.
Education, to me at least, is not just about academic. Character building and social skills are also important. In life, EQ is more important.
I rather my kid scores 250 and has good leadership and social skills than scores 270 with no social skills

:celebrate: totally agreed.
Grades are really superficial.
Getting poor grades during younger days are not the end of the world.
There are loads of entrepreneur out there making bigger bucks than a degree holder or scholarship holder.

If you are staying within 1km, then I would suggest that you try ACSJ coz there are more vacancy. At the end of the day, no difference in education level between ACSP and ACSJ.

Bear in mind that ACSP has a longer history and hence more old boys.

At the end of the day, your child still get to get in the affiliation to ACSS.

If ACSJ cannot, still got chance to get into SJIJ. Coz historically SJIJ got more vacancy then any of the ACS schooling.

Don't worry so much. Good luck.

If you can't get into any of these schools at Phase 2C, there won't be any opportunity at Phase 2C supplementary. So better to standby another school in the event you have to go to Phase 2C Supplementary. Hopefully this will not arise as you live within 1km. Your chances are better than those living outside 1km.

[Jav]

So which school should I choose in the event of P2C supplementary?

[Goon]

Just come back from P2B registration at ACJS.

From the look of things, there is possibility of balloting for 1-2km. Been told by the school administrators that this morning is a huge turnout. Usually get less than 40 for first morning but this year, half way through the morning there are already 50 registration!
