I am a Secondary Three student who is studying at this school next year. I entered this school as part of the Secondary One batch of 2016.
As there is a new principal now, a lot of new changes were made. For example, Secondary One students last year and this year have to start wearing black shoes and black socks. Previously, we were able to wear black, blue, white and grey coloured shoes.
The facilities that Riverside offers is kept in good condition. For example, students and canteen vendors help to clean the canteen after recess and school respectively. The classrooms are cleaned by the school cleaners every morning before school starts. Some of our facilities are an air-conditioned hall, an indoor sports hall, a synthetic field and a 'Virtual Reality' room.
Riverside's curriculum is also such that we have two programmes. Our Applied Learning Programme is 'Global Citizenship Education through Critical Social Inquiry' while our Lifelong Learning Programme is 'Arts for Life'. Basically, in the ALP programme, we had two periods every week where we discussed current topics. As part of our LLP, some students were allowed to paint on some spots in our school.
There are also many appointments in which you can serve as a Student Leader. After all, one of our niches is in Student Leadership. We have the Student Council, which I am part of, which regularly holds events inside and outside school. Also, we have the Character and Citizenship Education Champs, Sports Leader Committee, Class Committee and CCA Committee. All of these reasons are probably why we're regarded as the "best school in Woodlands".
However, I beg to differ for some areas. For example, the rule for new Secondary Ones to wear black shoes and black socks and changes in Healthy Lifestyle periods from running outside school to aerobic classes inside school are some rules that students have frowned upon as they claim that student leaders did not ask for feedback. (which as far as I know, is true) Another move to increase school dismissal time from 1.30pm to 2.15pm was also frowned upon.
Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy review and I hope my review makes an impact on your choice to enter Riverside.

Every school has its strengths. Embrace the differences and be respectful towards one another.
