Maris Stella Vs ACS Barker

[MandyMummy]

What about the old Police Academy? That place is huge, but got no MRT leh.

will be good if Circle line mrt can build a new station right at the door step of this new Junior College - just like what they did for RI (Marymount station).


for ACSI, i think nearest mrt is Holland V, on Circle line mrt.

MOE should announce the site of the new JC soon, considering that the first IP intake of S1s will be in 2013. And students would want to know if they’re keen to travel the distance to their new school in Years 5/6.

I am thinking of Maris Stella for my son in 3 years time as they have a strong band so I’ve been observing the boys at Nex. I like what I see so far, fairly well behave boys.

for year 1 to 4 Secondary education -

is there a difference in standard between ACS Barker Secondary (where affliated ACS Barker primary boys go to ) and ACS Junior Secondary (where affliated ACS Junior primary boys go to) ?

nope, there aint a acs junior secondary school.

unless it is new secondary school :?

Thanks very much for clarification, LOLMum.


from outside, because i see this ACS Junior primary school very huge, grand, impressive looking, so i thought maybe also got Secondary school inside. I din know it’s only primary school.

now i understand clearer…

after P6 PSLE, boys from combined schools (ACS Junior primary + ACS Barker primary) have a choice - go either affliated ACSI or affliated ACS Barker Secondary.

Thanks, Poots, for your wealth of information!


Just thinking around the crowded Bishan, Thomson, AMK area, where got space for a JC…??? Unless it is further up in Sembawang or Yishun…or like someone mention, the police academy?!

[phtthp]

i find parents affliated to schools very fortunate ...


it's like buying an insurance policy for the next 10 years having peace, so much lesser amount of reduced stress at PSLE. The child can have a choice - to go affliated Secondary schools awaiting them, or choose other schools.

lucky ACS parents, lucky Maris Stella parents, lucky Catholic High parents, lucky SCGS, MGS, CHIJ, St Andrew, St Hilda parents & parents from all other affliated schools .... all are very lucky

btw, any school occupying the Police Academy now ?
the new JC must be very large - in order to accomdate not 2, but 3 big combined schools of A level boys and girls.
