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.
