"Quite nice actually, made new friends ;) My teachers are nice as well, like my form teachers are funny and my classmates are HILARIOUS. I made like more than 10 friends this year, I hope to have more friends in semester 2 ^.^"

"SND4810X Mercedes I am deeply disappointed with the behavior of some teachers at this school. Instead of leading by example and adhering to basic safety practices, I have observed teachers jaywalking across the carpark rather than using the zebra crossing and the designated walking route especially in the morning rush hours. This is particularly troubling because the school teaches students the importance of road safety and following rules. Such behavior sends a contradictory message to the students, undermining the very lessons of responsibility and discipline that the school strives to instill. As role models, teachers should practice what they preach, demonstrating respect for safety guidelines at all times. The Principal's failure to be proactively addressing this issue not only reflects poorly on the school's commitment to a safe and discipline environment in the school but it also risks eroding the credibility of the school’s teachings. I urge the school Principle to address this issue promptly and ensure that all staff adhere to the same standards they expect of their students."

"There is this teacher named Mrs Hee and she likes to scold my son for no reason at all. Construction in school has to be faster as my son would want to go to the school field and play some Uplay. This is unacceptable as recess is the only time for the students to play and rest. I would like you to improve this matter and learn what is the right thing to do. Thank you."

"To be honest, this school is AMAZING. The teachers, people and events there are entertaining, although the activities/events are boring there are many memories created during those days which i will always remember! tbf, I didn’t really enjoy the activities for the p6’s but after time, when we have to work as a group i made uncountable memories with my friends which i will never forget. Its very easy to make friends, they all made me feel like its my 2nd home there and also the teachers, they were really caring, strict but yet funny :) they can be strict but honestly they are the sweetest (especially mdm chua). During primary 6 graduation concert, i had A LOT of fun, laughing, dancing , doing cajohn (or whatever you call it) and even crying after graduation i still enjoyed every bit of it i will always remember the teachers there because, they we’re the ones that were there for me on my lowest (+my friends). I really dont understand the negative reviews, the teachers maybe strict but, they actually just care about you and want you to be a better person and improve your subjects. Overall, i just want to say that, enjoy your school years here once you finish it, trust me it’ll be heartbreaking because the amount of memories you made there will always be there forever :). Thank you so much to all the teachers that supported me in every way possible! Thank you tpps !!! I LOVE THIS SCHOOL SO MUCHHH💕💕"

"I love Tampines Primary School and I am grateful to my form teachers, Mdm Chua and Mrs Chong. They taught me core values, and honestly, I wish I could turn back time and relieve those memories. I think the canteen food is priced reasonably, a bowl of fishball noodles only costing ~$2. Great school, no bullying, and the school would recognize your achievements and efforts with “Caught Doing Right” badges and assembly celebrations. I will apply what the school has taught me in my secondary school life. Integrity, Resilience, Excellence, Adaptability, and Passion (IREAP) "
