"The teachers are quite supportive and I had a really awesome English teacher who helped me improve from AL4~5 to AL1. This is really nice but one thing they can improve on is the bullying as I had been bullied by a boy on several occasions. Overall still a four star 🥰"

"This school sucks. I am from Fairfield Primary when 6 girls from bukit timah primary just started laughing at my good friend. That was because at the back of his fairfield shirt was the word “OLSON” which is a surname of an important person who contributed to my school. We said we were going to report them, then they chased us and my friend fell on wet floor. He smashed his Iphone 14 pro max vry bad(partially screen protectors fault)"
