It was mentioned that in 2021, ACS knew that ACS Junior site WILL NOT be renewed by MOE when the lease ends 2039. If Winstedt road site can be renewed, I wonder will ACS still choose relocate ACSP to Tengah?

Another interesting one

31% agree that Government scholarships should only be given to those from low or middle-income backgrounds.

If a new Methodist girls’ sec school is set up in Tengah, then he is not wrong to say ACSP Tengah girls will soon have affiliation to one of the Methodist Girls’ school.

Same thing what, if push ACSP Tengah girls to say, PLMGS Sec (instead of MGS Sec), then a portion of the PLMGS Pri girls will not be able to make it back to PLMGS Sec due to the 80% affiliation cap rule.

I don’t think he has MGS in mind. There are a number of Methodist schools for girls.

Methodist Girls’ School
Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary)
Geylang Methodist School (Secondary)
Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary)[/quote]

ACSJ and ACSP have always been treated as different schools when it comes to P1 enrollment, it's just like PLMGS and MGS or the CHIJs etc. What is happening now is that ACSP is moving out of Barker and ACSJ is taking over the campus.

As we all know schools get relocated all the time, and every relocation will certainly bring about inconveniences not just to parents, but also teaching staffs. So why should ACSP be treated differently when it comes to relocation? And why should ACSJ parents agree to let ACSP alumni gain access to ACPJ P1 enrollment just for the sake of minority's convenience while at the same time compromising their ACSJ's enrollment chance due to the risk of oversubscription?

Consider the scenario of school ABC(P) and ABC(J) in Hougang estate and ABC(P) is going to relocate to Pasir Ris, leaving ABC(J) behind in Hougang for merger later. Similarly, if an exception is being proposed and considered for alumni for ABC(P) currently living in Hougang estate within 1km of the school for the enrolment in Phase2A in 2030, is that giving privilege to the privileged?

When we look at an issue, we have to stand in a position of no prejudice. Discrimination for the underprivileged is bad, so is discrimination for the privileged. We have to work within reasons. It's really odd, waking up every morning, being an alumni and living within 1km of the school you used to go to and raised funds for, and have to send your own children to a school in another location 30 mins away when the school is still operating there.

By the way, I am no stakeholder in this discussion at all, coming from a purely neutral standpoint.

Of course, even granted this wish, parents have to consider if it is good to put their kids to grow up in an environment with kids of homogeneous backgrounds or diverse backgrounds. This should be left as their individual choice because everyone has their own living conditions to consider as well. If they have old folks to send to day care and young kids to send to school, their choice of school based on distance would be pretty clear. Just my 2 cents worth.

I am not in a position to discuss about the state of the campus since I have never stepped into it before but maintaining Phase 2A < 1km privilege has nothing to do with the current state of the campus.

floppy\" post_id=\"2098813\" time=\"1677169058\" user_id=\"97579:

Whether it's MGS or another school, I doubt such a proposal is acceptable to the powers that be.

It should be noted that there are MORE students from formerly single gender https://accs.sg/directory/#P-SSS that enjoys no affiliation to a secondary school. These schools are:
Canossa Catholic Primary, De La Salle Primary, St. Anthony Primary
If MOE is to open the gate to ACSP, there is no legitimate reason to deny the SMC of these schools if they are to request for the same.

My understanding is current primary to secondary affiliation remains unchanged albeit ACS(P) relocates to Tengah based on the Q&A below. They are asking for additional affiliation to the ACSJ alumni so that they can apply to ACSJ( since ACS(P) Barker from 2030 strictly takes in male students with siblings who are existing students only).. Also I am not sure if ACS secondary currently has \"backward affiliation\" meaning if a parent is alumni of the secondary school but not primary, they can enrol in the primary. SCGS and NYGH have that from what I know, some years ago.

Quoting the Q&A :
Q: WILL PUPILS FROM THE RELOCATED ACS PRIMARY ENJOY AFFILIATION WITH THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE ACS FAMILY?
A: Yes, they will. There is no change to the affiliation policies for now.

Misconstrued as privilege. The current campus needs a total make over…[/quote]
