Congratulations to all who are joining ACS IB. DS in program started with 2 cca's in sec 1. Managed to drop to 1 cca in sec 2 as he takes 3rd Lang so it's just impossible to fit in the schedule. I think athletes who are in school team can also be excused from another cca. Let the boy try out in sec 1 then see how things go from there. DS likes the curriculum and is having fun there Principal is also well-liked by the boys in general.

gleemom, was your ds from ACS primary/junior?

Do non-ACS primary/junior boys fit in well in ACS(i) ?

Just rcvd call from ACSI. ds got CO, to report for briefing this Fri 5pm.

:congrats: Sincere!
Think Yours is one of the first ACSI CO we Have in this Thread ....

No DS was not from ACSJ or ACSP. I don’t think they have any priority as all have to sit for HAST selection test anyway.

Congrats to all who hear from ACSI.


I rec'd phone call to attend the principal talk this Friday too. Did not expect to get this as I thought most of their slots will be given to he ACSP and ACSJ boys.

DS likes the IB program but I cannot imagine having to cope w 2 CCAs in the midst of such heavy workload.

Any parents has any feedback on this?

:congrats: Paddy Field & DS. :rahrah:

My friend DS who is from mainstream and applied under maths domain, but rejected by RI also. I know the boy is a very capable kid who is one of the top students in a SAP school in west area. He got high distinction 2011 UNSW science. won distinction in RI Math, Platinum in SMOPS, Gold (one of top 30th) in NMOS, Gold ACS Math Olympics. Distinction for ABRSM piano Grade 8,school prefect, completed 2-year MOE TTLT program……. Unable to figure out WHY being rejected.

because he is only at the top of his cohort, not beyond his peers, he could enter RI using his t-score

what RI is looking for at DSA is candidates with talent beyond their peers....

just an indication of what they do in sec one math : choose your favourite mathematician and his theory and make a presentation on what it is all about, together with all the proofs and power point slides...make sure your class understand you

They did that in Year 1 at RGS too.

He was only one from his primary school to enter the IB program. He took maybe 3-6 months to fit in, including adjusting to the rigors of sec 1.
