Hear from parents about their experiences with Naval Base Primary School.
"I'm a student in Nbps P5 and so far Nbps is quite nice. Some students are nice some are not an Mr chia the principal is funny an nice. The teachers give a lot of homework but can handle an if u want to put ur child in Nbps they must handle the dirty toilets but sometimes the toilets are clean! My favorite Cher's so far is Mrs Lim (Gloria) , Mrs Olivia, Mr victor and Mr ho an the number one is Mr Shane. The counselors are kind, counselor teachers are patient an caring the CCA's are a lot so u must choose carefully as u can only change one time. The classrooms are clean and the canteen food is yum. Anyways have a great day and consider making ur child a Navalite and the toilets are clean when the auntie cleans it. Byeeee"

"Tbh I love the school and this review is coming from a sec one student who just graduated from primary school last year. Overall, Nbps is a school where A LOT of drama happens. And you WILL get to see all types of students in this school. You will get to experience being bullied in this school but if you can stand up to yourself, you can survive in this school and continue learning without anything bothering you. Otherwise, prepare to get bullied for a year. The school facilities are good but a little run down and the staff and teachers are pretty nice as well"

"I was a student at Naval base, just graduated, do I recommend it? If your child is mentally and physically strong then yes but if not prepare to get bullied by the high ego kids who think of themselves only, other than that alot of the teachers are supportive and nice, especially the teachers who are parents and also the canteen is clean enough i guess, stall aunties are great aswell, overall some facilities are VERY outdated but i had an okay time here and im not too proud to say i was a student here but hey what can you do right? It is what it is. Recommend for kids who can bear to be bullied and can stand up for themselves and not be influenced by the naughty ones."

"Not that bad like it's okay but like why is it so strict? Those teachers so strict want to make me melt. Food is yum but the stall aunties kinda rude tbh. Toilet okay but please wipe your period blood I see blood in the toilet I'm not okay."

"I would say is the school was great but some of the teachers are rude af I swear they like something. BUT some of the teachers are so nice like omg shot out to my maths teacher she used to like give out stickers in exchange for prizes. PLUS POINT... the homework was depending on the teachers sometimes they give lots but some give less that's cool. The foods nice and the toilet were mid but what can I say it's a school. Uh the discipline master are mid. ALSO nbps was so much that one time they had to bring in a police officer to watch the school like omg? And still is so uh I would recommend but their lots of downsides of joining this school."
