"the students are very rowdy after school. this was dissappointing to me as i am one of the alumni from this schl. there was so much rowdiness to the point where there was an instagram post made public where it shows the students being rude to the public. even tho the video has beem taken down, its still dissapointing."

"Good school and good teaching, good principal too. Many events in the school. Food is alright but not extraordinary. Hard for P6 to climb to level 6 for classes. A lot of choices for CCA. Amazing Teacher. A lot of facilities - Member of 6A (2024)"
