"Everyday after school i take 62 and when it passes by the bus stop where all the students come up, they make a ruckus. 2nd floor of the bus jumping, running and shouting like they own the bus. Please teach them how to behave.I could not even alight from the bus and now i have to walk back alot as they were blocking.All these xs people need to learn how to behave in public space.Can the principal teach them how to behave???"

"5 Stars, this school gave me an opportunity to score well in PSLE. The teachers were very kind and knows what to do and also do not make Mr. Ng mad. I love my P6 and P5 form teachers as they were very kind towards my classmates. I miss my primary school and also miss my old principal called 'Mr. Chew.' I wish that I could meet my 2 form teachers called 'Mdm. An' and 'Ms. Chen' again during Teacher's Day :( *salute* 【 the best primary school that i could imagine : D 】"

"I really like the lessons and as a student I am very happy when I go to school I hope our Xinghuazens improve in their bus etiquette and the school should do an assembly about this"
