[edit] Facilities
ACS (Junior) has a total of 38 classrooms. Out of the 38, only 18 are air-conditioned. ACS (Junior) follows the system where students are based in a classroom and the teachers move from class to class. The school also has four computer laboratories where the teachers can take the students to as supplement to their lessons. There are two music rooms just outside the main teaching block. Next to the music rooms, there are rooms which the teachers and students refer to as "Containers" They are used for supplementary or remedial lessons after school hours. There are two agricultural greenhouses which Primary 4 classes take turns to grow vegetables. The vegetables are then sold and the funds are contributed to the school. A small room called "The Den" is located near the music rooms for prayer meetings or other activities.
[edit] Prefectorial board
The prefectorial board is elected by the teaching and administrations staff every year and are formally appointed during Prefects Investiture Day. The Prefectorial Board is made up by members of the Council, AM prefects (Primary 5&6), PM prefects (Primary 4) and PM trainee prefects (Primary 3).
