One of my girlfriends child was doing Violin with Nafa. Child is very smart and practically mom makes child practise everyday cos there is also a so called surprise test.. Her child did not make it during test and asks to leave! It's a common practise. Now they resort to taking private lessons. Unless we r prepared to put our child to that kind of 'Nafa' environment.. They only take in cream of e crop. :oops:

Congrats 2u!
Did u see e board outside general office? MOE website? It's actually 62 applications.. Hmm.. But now who cares right...Hehe! In fact for girls who apply Nanyang 1km, at least there's a RGS to fall back. For boys, choices are limited. :roll: -

Balloting Exercise was conducted this morning @ 8.30am. I accompanied my cousin 2 witness e ballot. Could see the tension once parents stepped into e hall. There were total 62 applicants for 55places. Not only that, there were 2 sets of twins, that makes it 4 children. Earlier phase there was also 1 set of twins so 2009 6 twins in total. When Mdm Heng (principal) announced abt e numbers of twins, all parents jaws dropped..
Numbers were called out, then put in a Fish tank like bowl. U could see yr number being stirred inside. Scary. Luckily my cousin got in.. So happy for them.. Once selected, u gotta fill in a yellow confirmation form and pay Membership $60 straightway. Haha! -

Spoke 2 many ACS parents. They said Acs Junior results definitely better compared to Primary. ACS Junior has Primary children only. But ACS Primary BarKer share with Secondary as well. I prefer all primary instead.. don't need to share tuckshop with Secondary school.
I also understand new ACS Junior is 3 times bigger compared to current school. They even have a Performing Art Centre! Impressive! I got the source from School.
Not only that, ACS J will even have a rifle range. Only one in singapore! This is what I call 'branded school' Haha! Both schools are just as difficult to get in.
