Hi all,


Just found my way over to this forum. My son will be joining the ACSP family in 2012 too. Thank you for all the important details shared.

Hubby will be taking the public bus with DS to school as it's along the way to his office but I expected they will reach school really early in order to avoid the jam.

Can I check when do we actually go into school and is it necessary to get the ID pass ?

Hi bbhome,

No need to get the ID pass. If you need to go to the bookshop or the general office for any matters, just inform the guard at the security counter by the lifts and they will give you a sticker. But the Teaching Block is out-of-bounds. In any case, for the first day of school, you will be able to accompany your DS to the auditorium.

If your DH is bringing your DS to school, the traffic is still fine before 7.00am.

Btw, you may not know, but the prices of the food in the canteen is a bit more expensive than other schools.

OK. SO no need for pass. Yes I noticed the prices when I was at the bookshop buying book. Any idea why the food prices are higher ?

Not only the food. The drink vending machines charge $1 or more for a drink. Even S’pore Poly machine charges only 70~80c!!!

Hmm. What are the food prices like? Would like to know so I can budget recess and lunch money. ^.^\" TIA to anyone who answers this query.


Prob will try to pack recess for DS, I guess. Do most of the kids eat canteen food for recess or da bao food?

According to the letter they sent out, there is a morning healthy snack time. What are u all packing? I am a bit at a loss as to what to pack as my boy isnt terribly fond of fruits. Lol.

most schools discouraged sweetened water. Both my dd and ds's schools don't allow. Very practical reason which both quoted : prevent ants in the class in case of leak.

Prices vary between $1 for plate of plain chicken rice with a few thin slivers of chicken to $2 for rice with egg and some meat. Usually the longest queue is at the snack stall where in addition to your chips and mamee, they also have chicken pie, char siew bao, chee cheong fun and nasi lemak. Quite a number of choices actually. You can ta bao food from home. No problem. As for the snack time, biscuits, dried fruit, nuts or chips will be ok. There is also no rule for plain water only. You can bring sweetened water, Ribena...not an issue.

$1-2 sounds ok actually. Will budget from there.


Thanks Clayman again.

The class allocation for P1 2012 is finally out!


DS is in 1B, his best friend since Pre-nursery is in 1C. Oh, never mind. At least the teachers wont have to deal with the two partners-in-crime, in the same class.
