"I'm an alumni of the school, and I have a cousin (who will remain anonymous) who constantly shares with me her experiences in the school as a prefect, and they aren't pleasent. I wanted to write an email to the principal privately, but I went to the school website and found none. This review is my last resort.
I won't go into too much detail, but basically, she regularly gets bullied by her classmates since she was 7 and her current principle, Mr Aw, constantly pressures the prefects unnecessarily. Let's just say a P5 prefect should NOT be experiencing this kind of pressure as a student leader. I find it absolutely bewildering that this is happening to her, and mind you, she crashed out when telling me about this. I'm talking about ACTUAL tears and RAGE as she recounted all her experiences over the past year, which has significantly gotten worse.
She already has enough of her plate as a student leader who has high expectations from everyone and her studies. I, as her cousin, do not want her to be pressurized to this extent where she gets criticized for every little mistake just because she is a prefect.
I understand that we have to teach the kids when they are young, but not to the point where they cry everytime they're under pressure by their peers or anyone else, especially the principal.
I hope the situation gets better, and that my cousin has more pleasant experiences to tell me.
Thank you."
