Hi Keroppi, will any methodist church qualify or must be a particular one? We're attending Trinity Methodist Church once in a while but we haven't decided whether to join or to look for another church.

Any Methodist church will do. Trinity is certainly one of them. Check it out: http://www.methodist.org.sg/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=233

Thanks a lot for the clarification, Keroppi! In that case, we might decide to stay in Trinity because it's near our house.

You’re welcome. During the P1 registration period, you can get the letter of certificate from the church’s general office for Phase 2B registration. Think the pastor will inform the congregation …

Thanks Keroppi! I'm so glad I saw your post... I was disappointed that ACS doesn't accept PV but I'm a member at Wesley. Yaay! :lol:

I may be staying in the 1-2km range... chances aren't fantastic but at least it helps to be in Phase 2B.

Don't have to be. I'm just a regular church member, not serving in any ministry (yet) .

Hi Keroppi and everyone!!
I'm new to this forum and didn't even know this website existed till recently!
Any info on the following?
1. I am a Christian and member of CCMC, but my husband is not. Are we eligible for Phase 2B of registration for ACSJ? We are staying within 1km.
2. Anyone knows if I have to be an 'active' member of church (eg: serving a ministry) to qualify for the church's endorsement letter?
Thank you!!

Dear Chief,


Your personal sharing really touched me and brought tears to my eyes!

My hubby is a true-blue old boy of ACS ie. ACSJ - ACS - ACJC.
Our DS is now 2.5 yo and hubby is adament about him going to ACS for P1 (and all the way if he can).

Me? I was from neighbourhood schools all along and co-ed. Preschool @ PAP kindergarden, primary school within walking distance (now no longer exists), secondary school was good but nothing to shout about. JC was OK but not those often-mentioned ones. Yet I managed to get into the U and doing relatively well over my 20+ working years! So I am very grateful to the gar'men for the education system in Singapore bringing me to where I am today!
:love:

So I was totally un-impressed with all those branded name schools. And for some reason I am quite paranoid about MONO-ED schools! I always thought it is not very healthy for a school not to have both boys & girls. I have this morbid fear - will they make my son dress up as a girl to perform on stage??? :!:

But after reading KSP forums and the realization of how stressful P1 registration is, I begin to change my mind about ACS.
:lovesite:
Now I am pretty grateful to my in-laws for sending hubby into ACSJ (through church affiliation in the 70s) so that the pressure is off for my boy!

Just yesterday submitted the form to join OBA of ACS, got a shock when I read that the old boy have to join the OBA for TWO YEARS before you can get TOP priority hence I kicked my hubby's ass to join quickly! Yup, paid SGD500. For those truly KSP, what is SGD500?

BTW, I am really glad ACSJ is at Winstedt Road (not Barker Road) so that we do not have to face the traffic jams. Also just found out it is a brand new premises so facilities should be good!

My vote to ACS Junior!!! :celebrate: :rahrah:

Dear DesertWind, you are most welcome. I am reminded of my mother everytime P1 registration goes into full swing.

ACS Junior is a good school and strung together consistently good performances in PSLE over the last 3 years. If you observe the P1 registration history, over 50% of the places are taken up children of old boys or those with siblings in the same school. This goes to show how satisfied the alumni is with the school.
