Smiley:

Initiated by the 14th Students’ Council

Initially just a circle painted on the road at the concourse as a roundabout for cars. The Council thought it'd be nice to have Smiley painted instead and hence Smiley was born. It then shifted to the slope leading to the back gate due to the construction of LT4, viewing gallery & rooftop garden in 2000, and shifted again to where it is today when the CPA was built in 2006.

It's an icon that can be seen from Google Earth's satellite imaging!

Its latest relocation was initiated by the 33rd Students’ Council and recently repainted by the 35ths.This move was imperative as the school was being renovated. Otherwise, the smiley would have been destroyed and lost forever

Fun-O-Rama is a biennial event, whereby classes set up food and games stalls, while the school organizes sales of various items to raise funds for the school. Since it is held once every 2 years, every batch of ACJC students (or ACSians) have the opportunity to be part of this large scale FUN experience

Facilities include a fully-equipped theatre (comprising of 450 seats, video recording facilities and an orchestra pit), a black box, a dance studio, which were built to promote the college’s passion & emphasis for the performing arts. Additional classrooms were also built to facilitate learning.
