"nah bruh this school gave me the worst trauma of my life i got graduate in 2022 3 year later still trauma leh - teacher all very nice: shoutout to mdm anita (p1 and p2. she is so honest about everything. if youre not good at something, she doesnt hesitate to tell you. she very nice also) , ms sandra lee (p3 and p4 if im not wrong. her lesson so fun, we learn how to say good morning in other languages with like doremifasoh in english class), mdm ang (p3. she probably dont like me very much or even remember someone like me bcs i dont pay attention in class then get everything wrong but i like her math class, same for mr quek my pe teacher in p3 lol), mr tee (p5 and p6. so funny and niceee), ms foong (p5 and p6. she so nice and patient when teaching. and funny). these are my favourite teachers 👍👍👍 - my classmates so bad, no friend for 6 year so sad - cca not very versatile, like they dont got drama, taekwando and other stuff but now i think got - i regret my cca. should have chose something more good :( - i do so bad for psle - last but not least AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - mostly its cuz i failure but then, yeah school good hen hao 👍👍👍 if i happy then i could have 5 star but then only 3 star. sorry ah yishun primary"

"Walking distance to Xishan Primary School Yishun Secondary School Masjid Darul Makmur Syed Indian Muslim Restaurant Chong Pang Combined Temple in Teochew Memorial Park Lian Hua Ge Restaurant Holy Cow Creamery icecream Shop and the scenic breezy greenery of Yishun Neighborhood Park away from busy cityscapes.

Admire the Adoptive Design Thinking. Caring professional skillful learning environment for bringing up future leaders. Friendly cosy comfy green welcoming ambience for students teachers workers and families."
