My apologies for posting this bus service as we received feedback that many parents cannot find school bus service for their boys/girls.

We are a licensed bus transport service provider ferrying Acsi’s students since 2021, covering Bukit Timah, Newton, Orchard and River Valley.

If you are from other areas, and have a group pooling together, we try our best to help start a new route.

Do contact me by whatsapp 83831088 (Darren).

Hoping to get the year 1 ACSI uniform before leaving for holiday.
May I know where can I find the unform list for ACSI?
https://www.schooluniforms.sg/acs-independent-11

Which ones are required and worn more frequently?

thanks

Call the retail shop (or walk in) to enquire. They are extremely experienced in advising what to buy for every school.

Is it only your child, feel this way ?
How about the rest of the students, inside his IB class ? How do they feel, about this same Teacher ?

If is the general consensus of the whole class that this IB Teacher is really no good,

then,

Let the students inside his class raise this issue up, directly to the Form Teacher plus the (Academic VP + Principal), inside ACSI. Let the students themselves, at 18 years old already, raise this issue up, themselves, directly to the VP + Principal. Parents should not intervene anymore, when students have already reached this age (18 years old).

What happen next is,
if what the students collaboratively as a class, feel that this IB Teacher (ACSI) is really no good, then,
ACSI should, ought to find another Teacher, to substitute and to replace this no-good IB Teacher. Of course, ACSI (P + VP) will ask their students :- in what way, is this IB Teacher, no good ? Show evidence.

They can inform this Teacher to teach, up to the remaining balance days, in the current Term. When the next new Term come, ACSI ought to have replaced this IB Teacher, with another one. This no good Teacher, would have left the school, in the next new Term, if he or she, is really no good.

My impression is that the schools offering IB In Singapore are generally producing very strong scores, hence by and large the teaching should be quite okay? For the occasional less than stellar teacher, there is tuition (haha Singapore style).

IO marking is moderated by IBO I think.

Would be good to be connected here anonymously and share insights on how we can support our students.

Right now, I am particularly troubled by teacher who teaches language arts in the school and really does not belong there.
Even the boys know that she is wasting their time. and there is no real analysis being done.

I worry as even the IOs will be marked by this teacher. What options do we have at this stage but to ride the year out…

Any thoughts and PMs are welcome.

Looking at the most recent COP for ACSI, both IP and O levels are standing at AL7 for non affiliated students.
I hope to hear what are your views if my child who's not from ACS, gets AL7, which would he stand a higher chance of entry? Given that IP has a smaller intake (I think) but with no affiliation at all vs O levels with a bigger intake but only 20% space for children not from affiliated schools.

Will be great also if anyone knows the intake for both tracks each year or in 2023.

If your child's PSLE AL score is exactly equal to (identical) Any Secondary school's official Cut off point, not just ACSI only -

then,

there will be a computer balloting taking place, when the demand exceeds the available supply of vacancies (seats). Everything will depend on your child's luck, during computer balloting process. Of course, SG citizenship also play a part. Priority is given to SCs first. SC comes before any PRs & PRs come before any foreigners. So, the answer is -

during computer balloting for the last seat available, your P6 son only have ... 50 percent chance. Is either in or out, during the computerised balloting. So, what to do ?

Just make sure that inside your S1 listing submitted to MOE, ensure that there are some other Sec schools whose official Cut off point is more than AL 7. Example, COP with AL (8 or 9 or 10, etc), so that other sec schools can \"catch\" your son, well.

SC : Singapore Citizenship

In the event those with AL 7 got balloted out of ACSI, can proceed to appeal. But appeal, is a separate matter.

Does anyone have an idea as to how many boys get admitted yearly into ACS (I)'s IP from the O level track in year 3? Mostly from ACS(I) or are there some from other schools too?

Reminds me during my era, doctors & engineers are “good catch” for girls looking for partners.

I met several young doctors (ages btwn 30-40), at different times, asking for my help to introduce life partners to them. Some of them were probably bookworms & achieved well academically but lack the social skills & often introverts & shy. Wonder what is life for them now. Not all doctors got ‘caught’ as treasures yah?

I wld rather my kids learn to lead a balance life, with work/study and not chase too much of the world & forget to build relationships at home or with friends. Life will hv a better quality than having a big landed, branded cars, etc. When one hv good strong supportive relationships, shld be able to ride thro though times not being alone. Happiness does not come fr material well-being alone.

Noticed most doctors are married, wonder how they find time for dating and to get married.

I think each person has to work this out for themselves. Courage and determination will carry a person far, but those traits have to come from some strong desire/motivation - for interest, wealth, status, recognition, self-fulfillment, charitable/religious conviction, etc. Without one of those strong motivators, I think most people won't be able to pursue these goals for long. I also have many friends and relatives, ranging from those in their 30s to 60s, who have studied medicine. Not all are in the top tier earners - most have continued to stay in the medical line, but many have eschewed the \"top\" jobs - some are GPs in HDB clinics, some are in private practice but not in the glossy high-end clinics, some work in government service (not in the top jobs), some are in the charitable sector, some are doing locum in GP clinics, some are in academia, some have switched to jobs where medical background is useful but not in actual practice, etc. Most say they hate the competition and rate race, and find the money not worth the stress, and find satisfaction in serving the \"ordinary person\" rather than the well-heeled.

None of these are \"low-income\" by any means, but many are not earning more than people in other professions, sometimes a lot less (compared with top lawyers, finance people, management consultants, senior civil servants, etc). Only a few (but these are the ones people talk about) are actually earning those eye-watering salaries. A few of my friends say that they regret doing medicine, but felt that it wasn't possible to switch after investing all those years in study and training. They don't hate their jobs, but don't love them either - that's probably the same as many in other professions and jobs, but it's still a pity given how many people really have the heart to be good doctors for non-monetary reasons but can't get one of the limited places.

It is true that many who are doctors advise their children and other young people to think carefully about becoming doctors - long years of training, long hours, stiff competition for postings, high stress of dealing with people's lives, etc. My parents wanted me to be a doctor, but I didn't want to because I wasn't interested, and I later learned that one of my uncles (a specialist doctor doing well then) advised my parents that they should not push me to do medicine if I wasn't interested as it wasn't worth the hard work and sacrifices if I wasn't keen.
