"school food is overpriced and a lot of common drinks like milo and green tea are banned. teachers are okay but some are horrible, scolding us for the smallest things or just straight up yelling at us for going to seven eleven after school?? school library needs more actually good books and the toilets need to be cleaner 😭 the odor is horrible on some days."

"tbh fvps is not that bad currently I am in P5 and I think that the canteen toilets are not that bad the smell sucks but if ur lucky sometimes its ok. The teachers are really supportive and nice however I do think some teachers are a bit rude but overall teachers are really nice and everything they teach is very clear(to me)but everything is really stressful as we have to do alot of hw and study for upcoming exams The canteen food is ok though a bit high priced but I dont really mind cos of the inflation . Some of the juniors are really rude,and all that though."

"The teachers there are my true best friends and they help me the most. THEY ARE THE REASON WHY I AM LIVING RIGHT NOW"

"Hi, I'm a ex student of FVPS. The first thing I want to say is that school is TERRIBLE. The worst thing about this school are the teachers. Most of them were so LENIENT to the point my classmates got away with saying offensive swear words, beating each other up (including me) and cutting my hair off. I loved the food and I had a few good teachers, but overall it is TERRIBLE! There was one time my classmates tried to throw a brick at his own friend, the principal WITNESSED it and didn't give him caning which SHOULD have been given. The teachers always think they are so nice because they are lenient but it makes them WORSE! The students of this school are all mean and terrible BECAUSE of our TEACHERS!! Only a few teachers actually were good, like Mrs. Galistan... My math teacher avoided the topic of one of my friends who was getting ABUSED by his step-mother and she still REFUSED to listen. I was depressed from the bullying and shaming I received in that school and the moment I left that school I finally started to eat well and sleep well! They weren't even strict enough on uniforms. This school but mainly it's staff are DISGUSTING. The teachers were all terrible. I didn't even learn well from the lessons! After going to that school my Chinese became TERRIBLE. Even an app taught me better than this school. I definitely received PTSD from that school, I flinch whenever my own friends just want to hug me... I would also like to mention the security guards, who are pretty irresponsible. The security guards would smoke INSIDE school compounds. How the heck was that allowed?? The teachers are not committed to teach us and are very lazy, as well as they ignore our mental health."

"would highly recommend wearing hazmat suits when u enter the toilets. The smell will give anyone ptsd and the murals look like a 3 y/o drew them. Also, to whoever has eaten tacos and burritos before coming to school, a word of advice, chew ur food, flush the toilet and remove the aluminum. Whoever crapped out an uneaten burrito still in aluminum foil multiple times in the boy's toilet, i offer free chewing lessons. 2nd of all, if ure hoping to come to this school for freedom to eat whatever u want, choose another school. They have removed every good tasting option. So unless ure hoping to eat healthy slop with soy bean milk and corn as a snack, dont come to this school or bring food from home. The best part about the school is the young security guard, if u see him say hi hes the chillest guy ever, hes the reason y the schools getting 2 stars and not 1. Only come here if u like basketball bruh, academics r 4 months behind other schools. School also gives u 0 freedom. Even tho the 7 11 is RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL u arent allowed to go there unless ure leaving school to go home. Teachers also need to learn to check the time when releasing us for recess, our 25 min recess is always reduced to 15 As a graduate who got into maris stella 80â„… because of my parents tutoring and 20â„… from school, dont come here"

"The school is quite good, but they removed Milo from Stall 8 and the iconic snacks from Stall 1. :( I LOVE THE MEE SOTO AND THE MEE FISHBALL.(?)"

"Was amazing, as a graduate from this school, i can safely say that fernvale primary school is not like any other in singapore, their lessons move slower to let the people with learning disorders learn at a comfortable rate, most people might complain about this but i feel that the environment is more inclusive"
