"Alma mater here. I have fond memories of this school. Made many friends, teachers are overall nice and had a great time growing up in Qifa."

"I was an ex-student of this school. Most of the teachers there are very patient, friendly and kind. They helped me to develop my leadership skills and gave me many opportunities to host events, plan things etc. The students there are okay, some can be a bit rowdy but you can still find some that are well-behaved. The school environment is pleasant too. I would highly recommend this school to those staying nearby or in Clementi."

"An utter joke of a school. Teachers are sexist towards students. A classmate of mine was wrongfully blamed of bullying a girl whom he had no relationship with. He said hi and she cried for no reason, blaming my friend for making her cry. It seems that the teachers have adopted an ideal that girls are more truthful than boys and so without any evidence whatsoever, made my friend copy the entire science textbook five times. Absolutely disgusting behaviour, my friend was extremely upset about this and hurt. Please fix your staff."

"I cycled passed this school. The school is HUMONGOUS!!! Even the classrooms were 3 level that is so good. For my school,we must climb a flight of stairs until level 6!!"

"The school is good, I heard. Residents nearby can't complain about the school going traffic clogging arterial roads before school starts everyday. But everyday, the PA speakers are blasting too loud, way out into residents' homes. Wouldn't it be perfect to tune the sound level down to what only the students and all in the school can hear? She doesn't need to shout, her voice is amplified already. Grateful if you heard me. Thank you."
