"I was from beacon. I absolutely enjoyed my time there and looked forward to going to school every single day. The teachers there are so kind and supportive to all students and in my opinion, they taught us well. I had teachers who went out of their way to give me one to one lessons when I was not doing so well in school. I remember the previous principal, Ms Lim. She brought light to my life every week when she tells us stories and shares with us news articles that make us smile so so so much. She was the one who also decided to install a playground in the school that we sometimes used during pe lessons and recess time. The beacon library wish filled with all sorts of fun and educational books, from Geronimo Stilton to encyclopaedias. They have a butterfly garden and a fish pond which I enjoyed visiting during my school days. Overall, I think that my best years in life were at beacon and I sometimes wish I were a kid again :("

"Proud Alumni of Beacon :D best school. I graduated in 2021 from 6/4 the school was quite nice. the teachers are all very good. I'm randomly writing I know but I put my p6 class as my new CCA shirt number it's crazy and I just miss primary school so I decided to stalk the website. but is ok I love primary school. I 100% recommend this school, the activities are very engaging even during the pandemic I had so many online lessons and games and everything to keep my learning and experience going on to keep me busy! I have so many things to share all good things real."
