Hear from parents about their experiences with Poi Ching School.
"I used to be a student there management was rather disappointing plus the principle painted the school like a mental hospital but at least the teacher was good my favourite was mr toh with his patience and math teaching skill"

"I’m not going to lie, the facilities are not bad at all. I am a previous GRADUATE and I would like to say if you have anxiety/you hate interacting with ppl or some things that make you stand out from the school, I do not recommend it. I was bullied. And it was bc I was shy, at first I wasn’t so bad in primary 1 bcos I new so I still talked to people but they always just exclude u if they find u weird/not fun and they WILL take advantage. This one girl nvr return me my money lol. Only one girl in that schl was nice to me tbh. And in P3-P4 I was happy bcos made friends n happy with the learning and my grades, but some specific students bullied me lol and uh teachers didn’t do anything at all to stop it, even if my parents inform and they saw. When I had some anxiety in P1 bcos I was constantly left out, my guardian told my teacher bc my guardian was concerned. The teacher claimed I didn’t need any counselling even though clearly I did. And when I went for counselling it was ok, but they never did anything to really help. I miss the older woman who was the counsellor tbh. Anyways, main point is that I got bullied and teachers didn’t stop it. Plus I am not a graduate from like 10 years ago. Not extremely recent but not late at all, so I know the teachers r probs the same for now."

"Teachers are rude, bad attitude and low academic level. The principal , Mrs Chong is very annoying as she does what she wants, even changing the schools culture, I used to study there and the experience was bad."

"The classrooms are quite clean, if you're lucky you will get the bigger void deck for your lessons. My friend graduated from here long ago, now he lives opposite Changi Prison"
