"I was from juying and after the school March with PIONEER in my opinion the school is worst than juying primary and the principal is super bias and teachers will treat their favorite student very well and act like they love all students"

"This is my school and it has teachers that are very kind and helpful. It recently changed the principal. It also has 2 vice-principals. The new principal has added a few enrichment programmes so we could learn more."
