Thanks again for your reply Spikey. You moved to be closer to MGS? Coincidentally, I am within 1-2km of MGS but I went to SCGS back in my day so will try to send my daughter back there. But now been scaring myself reading the forums and that there are plans to change the registration phases. I checked the MGS thread since the changes may come through before my daughter heads off to pri sch and for those within 1km, there is already a ballot? And KAP Residences coming up too...
yup - my two kids are in MGS and ACS(P)...wanted to do the SCGS - ACS(P) connection as well before we moved.
I hope I manage to get my kiddos into the alumni schools before any of the changes! Once son is in, I just need to panic for 2 more years (haha) for my daughter and thereafter, I don't have to sweat for his little brother.
To be honest, I have been quite out of the loop, being a full-time working mother of 3 kids below age 5 leaves you little time to find out about Primary School when you are at work thinking when next to pump for Kid#3, Primary School really seems quite faraway. Until my friends started prodding me abt it at a gathering over the weekend...
Anyway, hope your kids are doing well and loving their schools! -
Haha ...
just received my OBA card !

Hi all,
I'm so new in this forum. I was hoping to get my son (2008) in ACSP for next year P1 registration and was wondering if there is any sort like affiliated or sister primary school for the siblings?
Coz I have a younger gal.
Thanks!

In order to qualify for either phase 2a(1) or 2a(2) -
i)
The father of the child must have studied in ACS Barker primary before.
Even if studied before in ACS Secondary, but not the primary, also no use.
Phase 2A1 -
this phase is for the old boys of this school.
The child's father must be an old boy of ACS(P), and also an alumni member of the ACS OBA. (Old Boys Association)
Phase 2A2 -
this phase is for the child's father -
who was an old boy of ACS(P), but not an alumni member of the ACS OBA.

ii)
In order for your daughter to enter MGS (Bukit Timah) primary :-
the mother of the child, must have studied either in MGS primary or MGS Secondary, before.
MGS is a full school.
This means that even if the mother had studied previously in MGS secondary, but never in MGS primary before -
the child can still join MGS, under phase 2A.
But, there is no such thing that -
because daughter study in MGS, therefore can pull in the sibling brother automatically, into ACS Barker primary. This does not hold. (invalid)
Similarly, the other way round (also invalid ) -
because son study in ACS Barker / Junior primary, therefore can pull in sibling sister automatically, into MGS primary.
However, if parents are Methodist church member (can be from any Methodist church ) and stay less than 1 km from the school, parents can ballot, under phase 2b, using the letter issued by Methodist church pastor.
Every batch around June timeframe (P1 registration is due in July, each year), pastors will ask / announce in church - any parent here with us this year with kids due for enrolment, into a Methodist affliated primary school ?
If yes, pls come forward, let us know.
However, the ultimate decision -
whether or not to issue parents the coveted letter, still lies with the respective church pastor.

jilltan:
May I know if there are parents here whose kids are enrolled in ACS(J) or ACS(P) and have mild autism or Asperger's syndrome? I will appreciate if you can share if the kids are adjusting well in school and whether the exam pressures are just too much even in ACS(J) or ACS(P). Much appreciated!
Yes, there are special need kids, in both acs (junior) and (barker) primary.
The school encourage greatly :-
Acs want every special need child , to succeed.
However, if any parent feel the need to defer primary 1 entry, may meet up with the form teacher(s), for a quiet discussion. The teacher will also inform parents what are their expectations. But school will want to find out why child need to defer.
The school is very open to shadow teacher(s) in certain cases, if costs of hiring one (around $4000 per month) is not an issue.
However, some parents may not wish to hire, bec $4000 per month can be better spent, on example: sending the child for therapy, etc. -
Hi,
Will appreciate if some parents here could give me a heads up on this school. thanks.
My hb is an ex-ACS and we are just from humble background. As I will need to decide if I want to register for PV in other neighbourhood schools, I like to know if it is true that acsp is mostly for rich kids…cos I do not wish my boy facing such peer pressure on this and that.
Even hb himself is also hesitate to let our boy goes back to study his alma mater.
Hence, really hope to hear opinions from the inside. Thanks again. -
Hi ACPS parents,
I wonder if anyone has PE attire to donate to orphans in Cambodia? The orphanage I work with needs PE attire (uniform) for the younger children aged 5-8.
If any of you or a group of you are able to arrange a collection of and donate your children’s outgrown ACPS attire I would very much appreciate it!
Do PM me.
Ps. The orphanage is run by the Operation Hope Foundation, a Singapore-based charity. -
Hi,
Anyone’s son is in ACS Barker Road or ACS Primary, and living in Pasir Ris? I’m looking at forming a one-way carpool to school. I’ve tried getting the school bus but they are full and we will be on wait list, and the pickup time is very early - 5.30am.
Anyone interested to explore this with me can PM me.
