"This school have the worse student care. Never put your child in it they will embarrassed them right in front of other student, force them to do things they already clearly said they did not want too. The teachers there treat students different. Also have bullying cases happening"

"I want to commend Boon Lay Garden Primary School for engaging Eng Seng Book Store as their partner. The online ordering system is incredibly efficient, and the prompt responses to queries make the process so smooth and hassle-free. Customers are given the flexibility to choose between self-collection or delivery and can pay via various methods, including cash or PayNow—making it all so convenient and accessible. I am particularly triggered to write this review because of the stark contrast with the uniform supplier for My First Skool. Their unreliable online platform often forces us to make trips to their warehouse to purchase items—a frustrating and time-consuming process. Boon Lay Garden Primary's choice to work with a reliable vendor like Eng Seng reflects their dedication to making things easier for parents. Thank you for prioritising efficiency and customer convenience!"

"I enjoyed my 6 years of being here but there are some cons in this school.The relief teachers were either too strict or to kind.I've also seen a lot of fights happening but they weren't really big.In conclusion,the school is so-so.So 4 stars"

"Ex-BLGian of 2024: Good learning spaces such as the library revamp, made it a lot better and comfortable. Also the Edutainment Lounge, fun and comfortable there. Good teachers, are kind and helpful, takes action whenever they can. Although, some may be worse. (Doesn't really matter since they don't give bad punishment from my experience.) There could be more drinks such as soft drinks and fruit juices (we need those) however. Food is decent and love popcorn chicken and watermelon. The principal also nice and is a great advisor and motivator! I'm sad to see Mrs Tan go, as she was also kind and always say hi to me. I bid you farewell BLGPS"

"I am very pleased and contented with BLGPS. It has Great Principals,teachers , support staff and even security guards. I love that teachers gave homework to my child as I can monitor the progress. BIG heart student care teachers too are always on the ball actively updating the app with children activity therefore I know my child are engage. Their security measure are very tight too! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"
