"Didn’t realise this at first but school counsellorsl can be part of the problem. Pc primary school’s one seems to be overly sensitive and reacts like a strawberry, say unprofessional things to students like ‘it is not your fault cos you have family problems’ ( And the child was thinking ‘Huh? I didnt know I have family problems. But I must have cos she says I have. So it is not my fault I do wrong things.’) Let’s blame others first and take no responsibility for self. She does not seem to be able to properly counsel students to take responsibility for their bad actions and change bad behaviours like grossly vulgar sexual language, insulting others, disrespectfulness and social media & screen overuse. But blames the parents instead when it is obvious where the child mostly learned these from the class/school groupchats and social media. Child became even worse with counselling. Imo, counsellor may be hastily judgmental, subjective because of her own broken family background and try to hide behind other teachers when parents complain. If your child has a problem, my advice is to turn to external professional counselling. Imo, don’t use the school counsellor cos otherwise really regret."

"Pei Chun Public School has a good reputation and is well-regarded for its academic excellence and strong emphasis on Chinese culture. Pei Chun could not be what it is today if not for the support of its stakeholders - parents, staff, alumni, School Management Committee as well as various partners in education. With their strong support and partnership, Pei Chun will continue to live up to its name and its founders’ vision of providing quality education for future generations, reaffirming the intent of its founders of being a school started by the community for the community."

"A truly amazing school to be in with a nurturing environment, caring teachers and many good facilities! Hands down the best primary school in Singapore, you wouldn't regret going there! However, when I visited the school again and took a photo inside the General Office with the wooden plaque of the school, the Operations Manager Alvin Yeo chased me out for no apparent reason. I was neither making noise nor disrupting operations as the General Office was entirely empty. What a stupid man!"
