"I actually graduated in 2023, there have been lots of gangsters and bullying in this school, my form teachers were also quite mean, always like to bully and accuse me of doing the wrong things for no reason. Overall, just don’t go, glad I already graduated, probably one of the worst primary schools in Singapore P.S watch out for Mrs Noble and Mdm Sharifah should you be in this school"

"This school have no self control over their student whatsoever and even have poor education system, as their student cause a havoc even outside of school ground. There was a Groups of students from this school in the bus i took they are all hoarding the seats by placing their bags in the empty seat and despite seeing a lot of people trying to find seat they don’t bother moving their bags. Not only that, they were all acting like a bunch of monkeys and making so much noises as well as eating candies in the bus even though there a rule that say no eating in the bus. From this case I can tell that this school have poor education system for the students as they don’t even know simple manner. Why are primary school kids even allowed to run out of the school without adult supervision?"

"To parents whose children got bullied, can you share your stories with the Straits Times or Lian He Wan Bao? Especially with the recent news of school bullying, I’m curious and concerned to know what really happened as planning to enrol my child in this school."

"I don’t know what the teachers here are doing, busy collecting their paycheck and just sleeping behind the scenes. No idea how bullying can be so prominent in school with some children being punched on the daily. Teachers are innately useless with 0 impact on students’ discipline. Tried to follow up with teacher for the bullying case, I did not even get an apology, or an update on the discipline of the child, no meetup with the bully’s parent as well. Terrible behaviour displayed by teachers and they are to be our role models? Please do not enrol in this school for the sake of your own child’s wellbeing and future. Edit: Lets all take a look at the reviews and observe the school’s replies to comments about bullying. I think the only established internal procedure the school has is to copy and paste some reply to each review about bullying. That is all they do, paste some copypasta, change salutations, and continue to ignore the fact that the school is under some bullying endemic. Such a joke of a school. Good job PR rep!"
