"not bad and some teachers are good, but has a lot of areas to improve."

"The overall environment, teachers and staff are good. However, there's a teacher who is biased and confiscated a student's item without returning to him even after his graduation. Despite several times of approach to her, she ignored and eventually blocked the student on WhatsApp. The student might have done wrong and thus the confiscation which is totally understandable. However, it does not make sense for a teacher to behave so as well. On top of that, when the student answered her questions when being asked in class, she claimed it to be wrong while another student gave the same answer afterwards, she changed her attitude and said the answer was correct immediately. Sincerely hope the school can look into this to avoid the same happen to the other students as it really affects the student's morale adversely."

"As an ex-student from this school, I really appreciate what west spring has given me. I met many new friends and great teachers who taught me a lot. The school really was 'My Second Home'."

"My girl was in P5 last year.. Maths teacher is almost absent the whole year.. Most of the times relief teacher stand in with no lesson. In fact 1 of the teacher even watched Korean drama after throwing worksheets to the students. And you also have many uninspiring teachers who took half of the lesson shouting at students. School thinks they are the best, but its all a facade!"
