"It is a good school and I have learnt lots of things in there. However, there are some biases teachers that I will not say, but I hope that the school will do something about it. Lastly, I want to say that this school also has some crazy teachers. So, if you are a girl you will have a better life in this school compared to a boy in this school."

"Its an okayish school i guess? The facilities are clean which is neat but the canteen food is … meh… oh and the people here are either very nice or very mean. I speak from experience and im already in secondary school. If you wanna come here, there is strong chinese culture but you mist make sure u or your child has NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER, ANY PROBLEMS. Obesity or etc or u will get bullied. Literally"

"This is the best school I've been to in my life; canteen food is better compared to other schools'.I'm now in sec school and I miss this school a lot.The facilities are cleaned almost everyday which is perfect because a clean environment helped me concentrate during lessons. Most of the students I have met when I was studying here were the best because if someone was feeling down they would support them.Hardly anyone is left out during events.Unlike my current school, the teachers here are better and do not reprimand students unreasonably."

"Need to consider some teachers based on student’s opinion cuz got this one Chinese teacher scold people for no reason. Overall, it’s a great school with many programs that allow your child to excel while young. This school allows your child to discover who they throughly are through these programs and CCAs. Canteen food is the best here. If u want to learn more about the Catholic religion or are a Catholic, this school is for u. Join Holy Innocents’ Primary! It’s one of the best primary schools out there! Totally recommend joining since I’m from there myself! To all my 6R5 2023 friends out there reading this, what do you think of this review?"
