"I'm currently a P6 student, Wellington is truely my second home, Wellington always offers help and can make things easier to understand, the teachers are mostly nice and is also very kind and understanding, the teachers are also funny (sometimes) but also when you bring your child into Wellington primary school please ask them go flushed the toilet after they did their business, and I meant the primary 1 please! And Also many teachers will keep the gifts that their past students gave them which I'm actually surprised lol but either way, Wellington primary is truely a good school, I remember when I was primary 1 I was crying because I was scared and my form teacher comfort me if that was my mom she would probably tell me to shut up lol but I'm grateful for Wellington primary school, it's truely a second home. By the way I look through the reviews and one caught my eye, no, Wellington primary school IS a diverse school if the staff is rude to you that means you think that Their rude in simple terms, you're spoiled and in kind terms, the staff IS nice it's just that you don't know what's Singaporean nice ok? And Also if you leave a bad review, it's either you complain too much and thinks the school too hard on your child or you haven't seen the actual nice teachers because teachers give what you deserve, you give them respect they give you respect, you give them none they give you none so all the bad reviews, go back to Facebook and complain thank you"

"Mr Khaarthik and Mrs Arul are actually the best form teachers one can have, the school itself is okay. Teachers are pretty chill, especially mdm Noor and Mdm Paramesh. Mr ho is.. yeah. The toilets are pretty dirty ngl but it was an okay school."

"I am a student in Wellington . The teachers were not only kind but cares about us too, Mr hakim, my form teacher was so funny, he was always telling us jokes but sometimes he is strict, But only two things I would like to say, toilet is dirty so I had to wipe the toilet seat, cleaners must do a better job instead of listening to music ."

"AMAZING general office staff. Personally, I felt that one of your staff helped me throughout the primary six school year mentally. Thank you ms Josephine for the support🙏 She works hard… you guys should double her pay."

"It has been a positive experience serving as a parent volunteer at Wellington Primary School for the past year. The school is highly systematized and well organized under the guidance provided by the school's principal (who previously served as Principal of Admiralty Primary School). After school hours, teachers stay back to tutor and guide their students, especially those from low-income families, it's a caring school (爱心学校) in my opinion. This nurturing environment helps students feel valued and supported, fostering their academic and personal growth. As a result, students are more likely to thrive and succeed both inside and outside the classroom. As part of the school's efforts to prepare P5 and P6 students for the PSLE exam, the school collaborates with Raffles Institute students on revision workshops and techniques for addressing PSLE questions. This helps to ensure that students will be able to tackle the PSLE exam with confidence and succeed. Lastly, the Parent Support Group (PSG) at Wellington Primary School is supportive and proactive, volunteering to help with school-related events and activities. The PSG contributions greatly enhance the school community by creating a sense of camaraderie and collaboration among parents, teachers, and students. In addition to helping organize events, PSG involvement enables students to receive additional support and resources that could positively influence their educational experience."
