[Novena] Primary Schools

[Bagcononics]

Hi All, need yr opinions. Am happy with the new ruling as both schools I am hoping to get my DS into are btw 1-2km. Am Comtemplating to enrol him in either ACS primary or SJI… May I know which school will I stand a better chance as both schools are approximately away 1.2km away from my place. Thanks in advance.

based on history, you will stand a better chance in SJIJ. But if you actually prefer ACS, then try go for ACS...

ACS Barker primary had balloting last 2/3 yrs for Phase 2B/2C - under 1km.

We only had an average of 20-25 vacancies, for Phase 2B & 2C.

Hi hi,


Could any parent share your insight? We live nearby ACS primary and would like to send DS (born 2010) there. Is it true that the school doesn’t take PV, and the only way to increase our chance is to join the church? Many thanks in advance!!!

ACS does not have PV as they don't encourage. The only way to go into phase 2B is church. Also not easy as well.

and is advisable to live within 1 km (unless Moe changes the distance priority to 0.5km in the future).

Thanks for the reply, LOLMum.


Wow! If 0.5km then not so many addresses would qualify…

Do it for pure religion. There is interview as well. The same goes for all religion bah.


But if you are Methodist all along with baptism cert, then it is a different story altogether.

Oh! I see. I am Christian. Not attending church at the moment due to relocation. That’s why I want to send DS to ACS.
