"Good school and the principal is kind. Graduated 2019-2024"

"I love this school! All my kids are enrolled here, and two of them have already graduated. The principal, Mr. Poon, is a grounded leader who promotes strong values, creating a nurturing environment. The teachers are incredibly caring and dedicated. A special shoutout to Mrs. Yeoh for her patience and genuine concern for her students—her commitment truly makes a difference!"

"My son is 26yo now. I recalled an incident when my son’s classmate complained that their form teacher likes to punish students and one of them was my son when he didn’t pass up his homework by asking him to sit outside the class room with his school bag. Apparently it wasn’t the first time this evil teacher did this. One day I decided to go school and see for myself. True enough, my son was sitting outside his classroom and when I asked him he kept quiet. Immediately I stormed into the principal office and showed him the video I took asking him for explanation. My son was humiliated and bullied by his form teacher!! Most teachers are evil so please take care of your kids and talk to them all the time find out they doing ok."

"A popular primary school that truly believes in "joy of learning". This means that there will be minimum worksheets or practice papers during the school holidays to drill the students. Exams were also not overly difficult that will demoralise the kids. Today is the graduation ceremony of another batch of students"

"This is a renown school in Singapore where parents would try hard to send their kids to study here. Property developers love to promote their properties nearby to draw potential buyers. The only downside is the noise from military aircraft whenever they fly past to land in the nearby airport."
