Pros

Great stepping stone for psychology/ counselling degree fresh grad and teacher interns. Okay if you planned to work for 1 to 2 years. Lots of professional and hands-on training is held at the premises. Has lots of subjects teaching and behavioural support resources. Same levels colleagues are mostly nice to one another and hard-working. Probably has one of the highest pay grades for fresh grads teachers as compared to other SPED schools. This school has lots of sponsors and good reputation. This school is expanding and another new campus is coming up in Tampines, thus heavily recruiting people.

Cons

Hierarchical management structure. Leaders tend to favor individuals who excel at networking and political maneuvering. Seeking advancement may result in encountering various explanations from immediate supervisors, leading to unclear career growth prospects. Staff members often experience burnout due to inadequate workforce levels. Certain tasks and meetings appear redundant. Educators are required to allocate their remaining energy towards teaching subjects and handling student behavior, in addition to managing department responsibilities. Pay discrepancies exist among experienced teachers.
