In the 1930s and 1940s, ACS underwent a period of consolidation and achievement. The Principal during this period was Mr T W Hinch (1929 - 1947), under whose leadership the School achieved great successes in every aspect of school life. Academically, a very high standard was maintained and this was reflected in the annual Cambridge Examinations.

In the field of athletics and sports, the introduction of the House System in 1930 was a great incentive. The Houses were named after Bishop Thoburn, Bishop Oldham, the Rev Goh Hood Keng, Mr Tan Kah Kee and Mr Cheong Koon Seng, all of whom showed a keen interest in the School.
