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.

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.

Hi jass,

Just wondering if you are using grassroot to apply ACSJ? Usually parent who apply 2B using church letter would be able to apply to both acs barker and acs junior.

So.. Are you within 1km to acs junior for 2B?

If the house to the ACSJ is 1.04 km, will it consider as Phase 2C within 1 km or 2km? What is the chances like? Should I aim ACSP less than 1km or ACSJ?

How far your house is has nothing to do with registration phases.

The phases you are in depends on your relationship with the school eg. current sibling still in school, alumni, PV, church/clan affliation or GRL and not the distance.

Thanks. I knew that. I post wrong question. I know it is phase 2C but with the distance just over 1km, will they take it as phase 2C within 2km or 1km? What is the chances like? Should I aim for ACSP (less than 1km) or ACSJ (1.04 km) under phase 2C?

Historically speaking, no chance for ACPS at phase 2C since they ballot within 1 km or just nice vacancy and applicants.

Hmmmm........tough. :scratchhead: i would opt ACSJ because it has slightly more vacancy and hence better chance.

Based on last year, had to ballot for both ACSJ and ACSP within 1km.

Hmm.. Correct me if I am wrong but ACJS last year at phase 2C, ballot withint 1km. Phase 2B no chane to ballot at all for greater than 2km. many condos came up around ACJS area from new projects launch in the past. Competition will be much stiffer. Also, more parents may think they can try for ACJS because now SC have priority over PR so people who previously have not considered ACJS might be trying for Phase 2B and Phase 2C. With greater hopeful applicants( from new condos), data may skew this year. With new regulations, previous years data may not be valid as a predictor anymore. I guess we wait and see.
