"As a former student from this school, I'd rate it a 2.
1) (From my experience) teachers aren't exactly that helpful when it comes to upper primary education, or at least that's what I can say about the teachers I've had. I went from scoring al5 in math and science to scoring al 2 this year and I hate to say that it is no thanks to my school teachers. However, I can say that my English teacher genuinely helped me especially in story-writing. What I have to say about my math and science teachers is that they are genuinely nice people, they just didn't do that great of a job when it came to helping me with my confusions about a certain topic. the one teacher that I would praise is Mrs Ee. she was my p3-4 teacher and the thing I loved is that she would always listen to our questions and try to teach us in a way we would understand. she also made lessons enjoyable by engaging with the students. Nice teachers that know how to actually help students are rare. The teachers are either mean and helpful or nice and unhelpful. Other than that, most teachers are biased.
2) Saying this as a prefect myself, the discipline is unfair when it comes to the prefectorial department. My classmate (a prefect) told the prefect level master about my friend(also a prefect) cussing ONE TIME. The PLM was fully aware of my friend getting bullied by said classmate and did absolutely nothing about it. He then proceeded to scold my friend more about the cussing thing even if it was ONLINE in a PRIVATE CHAT. The cussing thing didn't even affect anyone, the PLM should've talked about the bullying thing more than that. The other reviews are right when they say teachers don't care if you're bullied. Also, teachers can get biased towards prefects.
3) Students. Homophobia, sexism, racism is not uncommon especially in the upper block. If I heard someone shout any slur, I wouldn't be surprised. The fact that this has happened yet teachers didn't do anything about it, disappoints me.
4) Teachers care waaaay too much about students' hair. The "flaws" in our hair aren't even noticeable and it doesn't even affect our studies or grades. Its not like we colour our hair with bright neon colours. Usually its just our fringe sticking out. teachers will be breathing down our necks if we don't clip our fringe back. Calm down. My curtain bangs wont make me fail a subject.
5) School food. I know inflation is taking place but at this point id say the food is overpriced. most of the time its cold. Especially the western food stall. The only food I genuinely enjoy is the curry mee which is only available on Fridays.
6) Toilets from level 1-4 are absolutely disgusting. Most of the time there's no toilet paper and the toilets aren't even flushed. There's vandalism on the walls and sometimes its kind of dirty. I'm glad the toilet at level 5 are cleaner and can actually function as a toilet.
7) one more thing about the prefectorial department, the efforts of the EXCO team are barely even recognised. most of the time, the credit is given to the head prefect even if most of the contributions came from the EXCO team. i just think this is unfair to the people who actually put in their effort. again, teachers get biased towards head prefects.
Finally, I wanna talk about the teachers who scold people for the littlest things. Once, one of the students were acting stupid and my PE teacher scolded the other students for looking at the said student?? which was really unnecessary.
Once again, this is all from my personal experience and this school is not entirely bad. Of course, I will miss some teachers and friends. If any of the teachers are reading this, I just hope that the school could try to do something about my concerns to make the juniors' primary school experience journey."
