"Coming as an ex-student Rude staff, incompetent management and a failure on critical thinking regarding student issues. I have never seen a greater downfall of a school community than I have in my years attending this school"

"am a ex student of this school i miss my teachers and my friends on the day on graduation i felt really sad as me and my friends will be separated i almost cried but i need to stay strong in my experience of this school i would say is very good i love this school i will never forget this school and their values north vista the best school forever!"

"this is personally the best school as i will never forget my old classmates and friends. those 6 years were the best of my life and looking back, a lot has changed and i have no regrets. the blood sweat and tears both students and teachers put into this school have molded it into what it is today. i still remember my p1 friends and teachers. i remember the first time i entered the school i was crying as it was a new environment and i had no idea who to talk to and what to do. i felt lost and now that im moving to secondary school it feels the exact same. i will not ever forget these memories i hold dearly and will appreciate the effort both me and my teachers put in to get me to where i am today. if i had to tell any parents thinking about enrolling their child into this school, it would be to tell them that this school is very friendly and will take care of your child. the teachers here care about their students very much and are very nice. i hope that this helps at least one parent decide which school they want their child to go to. so in my opinion this is the best school in singapore. shine forth Vistalites!"

"Not sure is it just about the admin or the entire school got problem. sigh. Called the GO to enquire about the P1 Registration email, while I was addressing my concern, the first admin who picked my phone off, (sounded as though I owe her money) " I'LL TRANSFER YOU TO MY OTHER COLLEAGUEA " and i got transfered, suddenly. wow. such tone. Dont let me start about NASCAN. Everyday, about snack time 4pm-ish I will be heading to pick my kids and I will passby the sidegate. Gosh! do NASCAN educators have certificate, empathy or capability to teach the young? Several occasions Ive heard, SHOUTING or SCOLDING words that are used not approriate and gestures-like hooligans (pointing fingers etc) Not sure its a Student Care or a Disciplinary Camp. Their MOE Kindergarten also wasnt spared. One of the days, a teacher, asked the Security Lady to bring in the Standee (which is outside the gate) and change the paper in the standee. A security, doing minial admin task. Might as well ask the security lady become the teacher. Gosh."
