My Experience at Greendale…

Greendale has been my first choice of school and as a pioneer batch, Greendale and I grew together in my aspects. It has gained a place in my heart. I believe that school will excel even more in the future, becoming the choice school in Punggol. Claudia Chia (3E2) I like being in Greendale as the students and teachers are friendly and it is easy to talk to them if we need help. To me, Greendale is a fun school to be in. I wish that Greendale will always strive and never give up in whatever we are doing. Athira Amani Bte Abu Bakar (1A2)

As a pioneer in the school, I feel proud because we are the seniors and got a chance to decide on our school logo and have a say in the majority of things. I hope Greendale will become a better place for everyone to study in. Choo Wei Xuan (3T1) In Greendale, I’ve learnt many values that will help me in life. For example, determination is an important value, for without it, we will never succeed in life. What I really like about the school is that I can identify with the school values. The teachers here are also friendly and helpful. I believe that I will do well and be a better person after I leave Greendale. Darunnee Phutthatsameewong (2E1)
