"I love this school some goated teachers some not but I made many friends there are no bullies and I miss my frens goated teacher Mr Lai"

"I just graduated this year and i find it a very good school. The teachers there are very committed and helpful when the students need help. They also plan activities that are fun yet educational. When you are p5, you will go to the p5 camp that gives you a chance to mix around w your new classmates. It's also very fun and I had a good time there. Theres also the p6 graduation party. They made it very memorable for me and the principal went on stage to give a heartfelt farewell to the p6s and the entire school. Its honestly one of the best 6 years of my school life. Will come back during teachers day to see some of my teachers if i have the time to."

"Good school. Many of my students used to be from this school and a lot of them got into very good secondary schools. I was also an alumni of this school. I like it that the school has good music CCAs and one of my students managed to DSA through her music CCA. But this school is really oversubscribed and hard to get in even for children of alumni, and even after they have increased their intake. To get into this school, you must stay within 1km. Those staying more than 1km have zero chance of getting in unless you transfer. Even those staying within 1km need to ballot for 2A and 2C. Phase 2B have the highest chance of getting in, but they most likely only accept those staying within 1km as volunteers."

"Very vibrant and good school. My kids love the school, principals & teachers very much. Many parents have feedback that their children have benefited a lot from the school including my own children. I went to the office several times and all the office administrators are very kind, helpful, friendly and efficient. One admin staff by the name of Miss Amy in particular is extremely helpful and great! She is an asset to the school. I love all their beautiful smiles. 🤗😃👍🏻💐"
