Hi, wanted to ask if anyone knows in history whether there was a need to ballot for mgs under phase 2a1? Or did they all went in safely? Thanks!

Could I just check if anyone got records whether there was ever any balloting for 2A1 for MGS primary in any year?

As for shoes, it's been a while since my time and I hear that kids can wear white or black (depending on school) sports shoes to school now? No need to just wear those canvas shoes? Would like to get something with more support for my son...

for shoes, schools are more flexible now. bata days are over.
I am particular about the sole padding since they would need to jump and the padding has to be thick. I get either reebok or adidas school shoes. don't buy too late though (as in late dec) as common sizes are sold out fast. for lower primary, I get Velcro ones. morning rush, just wear without having to wait for them to tie shoe laces.
as they progressed to p3, I switched to shoe laces especially for my son.

Where do u get the Velcro Adidas sch shoes from? Thanks!

hi parents, i am very glad that my son will be joining the ACSJ family next year. Just checking if the school has Student Care Service?

Hihi, my boy will be joining the acsj family next year too see you and other parents around their primary sch years!

BTPS : admin told me minimal PR registered. We are staying above 2 km.

If got 5, we are safe. No one wants to be a victim to be ballot out. Hope moe has a heart, if only a few applicants over n above 79, please take all. They are barely 6 years old little ones who need a school they are comfortable with

Hope u all get in without a ballot! This was my back up sch for my kid n I can imagine how nerve wrecking it can be for u all. Hopefully all sc get in .. Best of luck!

Maybe this phase acsp also no need to ballot like phase 2b? Haha.. zhun zhun the number..

It's exactly the same number for acs p but going into balloting for acs j for within 1km as of now ...

sherrman:

Thank you so much. I’m weighting my odds and placing my bet later between Acsp or j

Depending on your risk appetite and preference, one other safer option is sji j. But of course it boils down to what you like for ur kids.

ACSP dropped from 13 outside 2km to now 2 outside 2km.. 1km looks like going into balloting.. still have folks in 1-2km applied. It starting to heat up.. anyone has latest numbers on acsj and sji?

Acsp still has 1 spot for less than 1km. If everyone who wants to apply has applied, then everyone will end up being happy without going to ballot .. and can sleep well tonight! Let’s pray so! Then it will be same as phase 2B where exact no of applicants = vacancies

ACS Junior numbers at 11am

(Total 41 places for 2C)

SC <1km: 34
SC 1-2km: 2
SC >2km: 6
PR <1km: 1

Numbers as expected for Day 2. Filling up steadily.

Day 3 suddenly <1km will all surge in the afternoon.

it is heating up.. sure have ballot for less than 1km. but not as bad some some schools where it is 1:4 or 1:3 now

Acs p: 26 within 1km, 1 1-2km, 12 more than 2km (total vacancy 32)
Acs j: 37 within 1 km, 3 1-2 km, 6 more than 2km (total vacancy 41)
Sji j: 32 within 1km, 18 1-2km, rest more than 2km (total vacancy 51)
Numbers for Acsj moving fast ...

ACS P within 1 km is 25 and more than 2k is 7.[/quote]
Thank you. That’s very helpful. ACSP has 32 seats. So with the current total applicants, it is already full.

And <1km category is also filling up fast. All as expected.
