Hi


I am able to register my son in acs junior under phase 2b however I very to drive to acs junior as compared to we can walk to acs Barker. However registration for acs Barker will be 2c.

Am thinking of logistically my son can walk to school if acs Barker but 2b and 2c is also some risk. I am a Singaporean.

Could any kind parent advise what we should do? Is there any difference between these schools please? Thank u for ur time.

Just curious how u managed to get one phase earlier for ACSJ?

hi, we are staying within 1km from AJS primary, both my hubby and i was not from ACS. so we can only look forward for phase 2C.

i have been thinking of the chances for us to get our son into ACS but i got no confident at all, as… it seen like most of the old boys, church memeber and etc would have taken up most of the sits for every yrs enrollment. anyone can advise, … parents like us, is there anything else we can do to increase our chance? we are surely staying within 1km, and theres all we have.
thanks

I think you should just go for 2B ACSJS first if secured then at least you got into a good sch. ACSPS has less places and you wouldn't know wht is the situation at 2C.

I will go straight for Acsj under phase 2b.


Once place secured, monitor the situation at Acsp for phase 2 c. But I really wouldn’t want to give up my secured place at Acsj just to risk balloting at Acsp (phase 2c).

Yep, I agree with LOLMum hehe

Thanks so much mummies. My husband and I also decided to just go for acsj. the stress of going thru the ballot again (we had once for my girl few yrs ago) definitely is not a sound choice.

thanks again.

Anybody going to visit ACSJ before school registration to take a look?

I have never gone to ACSJ although we visited ACSP (Barker Road) for the alumni registration before during the school hols.
Called the school and was told to write in to ask for permission to visit. Even then will be after school hours and restricted to the hall and canteen, cannot go classroom.
Just wondering anybody tried to go visiting without prior notice before and allowed to go into ACSJ and walk around?

I haven't done that, but the school was quite strict last term about parents wearing their parent pass to be allowed to enter the school during school hours. Even parents are not allowed to go to the classrooms.
