"One of the schools in TPY. Good review from parents and residents staying round the area. Very convenient for most people as it is near the main road and there is a bus 238. Beside the school is a huge market where we can shop and eat. Do consider bringing your child here if you are looking to send your child to a good school :) All the best !!!"

"I was on bus 155 on the way to school the bus was super crowded and noisy because of the kids and they were running and screaming around and didnt want to move in they also kept on shouting. Worst bus experience"

"I was on bus 13 on Thursday, 29 August when a bunch of first toa payoh primary school kids came on the bus. it was extremely crowded and they were playing around, spilling red bull all on the floor. The bus was then splattered with red bull liquid on the ground and it was everywhere. Not only that, i was standing beside an extremely obese little boy and he stepped on my feet, not once, not twice but 8 times. I counted, 8 times. It was horrendous, the worst public transport bus experience i’ve ever gotten in my life. They were making a ruckus and were being public nuisances. It was extremely painful and I had to apply cream on my feet for those 8 steps on me. I tried to warn him and his friend group to not make a ruckus in public transport but they simply just ignored my remarks. They were soccer boys and i didn’t manage to catch their names. Not to mention, they smelt so bad, like rotten, expired buttered popcorn.They looked like primary 3 and 4 boys and I wish this primary school would reprimand or do something to help these children. Extremely inconsiderate, no sense of personal space students. Thank you."
