Oh...thanks for sharing. I have heard of a lot of bad comments abt Cannan and I guess I won't apply it for my son for K1 2013/14.
It is really important for the kids to love the school. This is just the beginning of their life-long learning, a kindgarten supposed to inspire the student and turn learning into fun.
If the school is that terrible, just try your best to find another school. If Kowloon Tong sch is full, you must explore chance in other district such as Tokwawan, Kowloon Bay, etc.
Whether the school is famous or not is secondary, you must find a school which your kid feeling comfortable to start the new learning life first. 作者: Ackl1002 時間: 12-2-22 14:00
For PN, have you tried York or Funful at Kln Tong? Or Greenfield at Olympic Station?
Even if there is no place everywhere, keeping her at home is better than placing in the hands of the evils! 作者: vivicui 時間: 12-2-22 14:04

agree! Just call other kindergarten one by one and see which one has PN seat currently available and also K1 seat for 2012/13.
If you end up can just find a K1 placement for 2012/13 but no PN for the rest of this semester, just help your daughter to quit the school and place her at playgroup for half year. Help her to get out of the hell. I have read a book before which said that kids raised in an environment which they feel highly uncomfortable with will result in a lower IQ score comparing to those raised in a safe and secured environment - this is from a US survey done by psychologist. Therefore, Don't wait, action now.

I got the similar experience with whampoa cannon. My daughter is nov baby and when we submit the n1 application form, the reply slip said we should hear from them for interview arrangement by feb 15. When we knew Cannon has started the interview, I called them up to check for the arrangement. the teacher said we will receive the notification soon. Feb passed and I called again, the teacher said they are still arranging interview with big boys. I asked the teacher on the reply slip stated we should receive their interview notification by mid Feb, when will the interview be, etc.
The teacher said, they got a lot of application this year, you daughter is a small girl, she can arrange interview for her but "I dun think she can perform well" - I was shocked.
They knew my daughter DOB when we submit our application, they should plan for different slot of interview and inform us if their schedule is slipped. If their administration is so screwed up + being a teacher with such a bias, I am completely disappointed.
If you are living around Whampoa, why dun u consider Deborah, my daughter is now studing at site 9, the teachers and staffs are all very nice, and my daughter loves to go to school everyday. Williams also good school too.
If you need some reference, pls pm me. 作者: tseleebb 時間: 12-2-24 01:02
My son studied PN class in Whampoa Cannan last year. After the Easter holiday, he suddenly disliked the school very much. At that moment, I thought that it might be the common problem for the kid after a long holiday. However, when I discussed with other classmates' parents, they also shared the same experience:
1/. One classmate told his mother that he was punished in the class
2/. I also checked with my son and he said that he was also punished in the class and told me that his class teacher blamed him loudly
3/. 2 classmates were scared and quited finally
Anyone notice that the principal and the teachers chat at the entrance evey morning without saying hello to the parents? They are so impolite! How could they be the good models for the kids?
My boy is now 3 year old and can express himself clearly. He told us his experience about punishment "make him stand and don't move". He was luckily admitted to KV last Sept. He is very happy now and enjoys school life eveyday. One day, we passed by Cannan, my little boy was so cross and said "I don't want to go to Cannan anymore!". You can tell he really hate Cannan.
