"I was actually a student of this school, class 6 dahlia last year. I rlly loved this school cuz the teachers there are nice and they thought me methods oh how to achieve a good score, but some I just don't like. The principal is also very kind and I like how the school looks like especially around the foyer. I wished they made a secondary version of this school. -Indhra Shahril"

"I used to study at this place and the teachers are actually really nice and patient! Due to their help I managed to graduate with AL 16 and had fond memories in Northoaks. Hope those reading this will have a better image of Northoaks!"

"Im sharing my experience of the school bus transport. Anyone staying at canberra area and need transport, the bus will arrive at 6.05am in the morning. So your child need to wake up at 530am. The bus need to reach school at 640am whereby the school start at 730am. It will be hard on P1."
