"I would like to highlight my disappointment to this school management. Yesterday is raining and my son was told to go back from the main gate, as the rear gate is locked. Though he was given a poncho, but for me why the school can't exercise simple emphaty amd flexibility to open the rear gate for the safety of our children? (MY son can take LRT and is sheltered all the way to my home) Letting them going back from the main gate and he needs to walked one round back to the LRT is ridiculous as the road surface is wet and there are possible safety concerns as follows:- 1. Possible slip and fall due to wet surface 2. Road safety issues such as motorists may have low visibility and vehicle control due to wet surface during raining day may jeopardise the safety of our children. 3. Children is likely to get sick especially they get wet in the rain. I do understand that maybe the safety concerns is only limited within the school compound and anything happens outside the school is nothing to school concerns. But my take is this. If the government has spend millions of dollars to build a sheltered walkway directly linked to the school rear gate for the welfare and safety for the commuters in school. WHY IS THE SCHOOL IS PREVENTING THE COMMUTERS FROM ACCESSING THE SHELTERED WALKWAY BY LOCKING IT EVEN DURING A RAINING DAY? NOW MY SON IS SICKED AND I AM REALLY INFURATED AND IRRITATED BY THE SCHOOL RIGIDNESS AND LACK OF COMPASION AND INNOVATIVE POLICY!!!!"

"Hello. A Former PCPS Student from 2024. This school has standard teachings and discipline but there is a lot of bad things happening around the school like vandalism , serious disciplinary issues and lots of fighting and vulgarities in the school. I would like to deeply give my appreciation towards my teachers and my HOD. They did the best for me and everyone in the school and really sculpted and change me to a better student. Furthermore , this school has a good reputation and a smooth 6 year experience for me. Being in Zhong Hua Secondary school , i really reflected alot from my school , reminiscing good and bad memories in. I would recommend this school for my fellow neighbours and people around my neighbourhood. Thank you for reading this review and have a nice day."

"i live near punggol cove primary school and every weekdays in the morning and in the afternoon, i will see students from Punggol cove primary school going to school and going back from school. during festivals, i could hear slight sounds from the school with applause and celebrations. this school is very energetic since my daughter went to that school in 2019 but now she is on her way to university. even though sometimes, there is always loud noises from students of pcps, i still understand since they are just kids growing up with their friends so they are really energetic and so on. i really hope their behaviour will be improved and I recommend this school! and please change the p5 camp foods…"

"honestly right this sch is js downright bad, the only good teachers are js mr loh, ms lisa and mr chew. Not bias cuz its true. I was a former student and i grad alr, students used to be btr but when changed of principal it just sucks. Like that principal doesnt even do anyth she just stands there and tells parents how hard she works or wtv but no. Mr yap was btr and its true. Ur students hv to basic respect or manners, i used to get bullied badly, i told the teachers, all they do was just stand there saying "Is it possible that its your problem?" Yeah of course I did think about it but when it wasnt?? I just went to the toilet by myself, just washing my hands and out of sudden some random girls when to lock the door (the hook behind the toilet door), drag me into a cubicle and lock me in there?? What did I even do? I got do something wrong?. And plus when they are out of school, its worse. I was in a student care centre at safra, and trust me, my life had NEVER been worse. They poured cold water into the cubicle i was in, when i wae eating they flipped the food onto my shirt, told the teachers and they just said "Oh its fine they are just kids playing." Im not a kid?? And when the students heard i told the teachers, it was more worse. In the end I went to therapy just so you know. The students follows what the teachers teach, teach then basic manners."

"As the second batch of this school I can say that this school is quite okay but just that there are a lot of toxic students. Discipline team are really strict and on the ball so I guess that's fine. Teachers are alright, teaching method is above average. Would I recommend this school? Yes"
