Hear from parents about their experiences with Sembawang Primary School.
"As a student of SBPS since P3, I love this school their teachers are disciplined, and some of them are strict and even friendly just to teach us for the better in future! The coaches and PE teachers always teach us the skills to improve and I admire them. I love that the staff are friendly and also believe in our studies and I hope I can still see them next year. Thank you to my teachers for teaching me for the past 3 years and to my amazing softball coaches who taught me how to bat, throw and catch. Thank you. We love you softball senior and wish you good luck on your PSLE, meeting you in the future would be an honour too. (2023) It's been a wonderful time in SBPS, it's my final year in this school and early 2024 was amazing. NSG has ended and so has CCA’s, I will miss going to CCA’s with my friends and going to competitions. Now, I just have to strive for my goal of passing my PSLE. (Semester 1 of 2024) In the race videos, you may not hear the sound but in real life, it was so chaotic. Everyone was cheering their lungs out. It was so much fun, I want to experience it again. Yall just graduated. Can’t believe I made it so far. Tomorrow is results day, I will miss my class 6 integrity very much. I can still remember coming to this school with my uniform so rabak. I will miss the security guards and the staffs. And so the teachers especially Mr Mike Tay, Mr Lim (Botak), Ms Chitra, Mdm Sha, Ms Tan (TNF) and Mr chong. Thanks for all the support from them I’ve made it this far. (19/11/2024)"

"I’ve had a great experience at this school and would highly recommend it to anyone. The teachers and staff are genuinely caring and go above and beyond to support students, not just academically, but also in terms of personal well-being. From my own experience, it's clear that the faculty truly cares about each student's success and overall happiness. The school environment is welcoming and positive, and the food is excellent. If you're looking for a school where both education and personal care are priorities, this is definitely the place."
