聖若望英文書院... HOW SAD!!!!

ScarlettChan

BIG and very upsetting news for SJC on Friday!!!!

The campus on Flint Road will be closed soon!! Miss Cxxxg, the long time (more than 30 years!!!!!) Principal, Supervisor and Director, was strongly against closing the campus since she would like to continue the will and also legacy in terms of education of the late and respectful Dr. Liang.

Sadly, the sons, daughters and daughters-in-law of Dr. Liang, came to the school today and demanded Miss Cxxxg to leave right away. Also, Miss Chxn (the Vice Principal who has devoted herself to the school for over 20 years!!!!); Miss Chxxxg (Prefect of Studies who has worked for almost 20 years!!!!!); Miss Wxn, Deputy Prefect of Studies; admin staff in primary and kindergarten sections and some of the teachers were ALL being terminated today with immediate effect becoz they don’t want to shut down the campus on Flint Road.
I really feel ashamed of whomever decided to terminate the loyal staff mentioned below. The decision maker obviously didn't put the students and parents into consideration.

Hi, 2 teachers were replaced in my kid's class after Miss Chung left.  This week, one of new teachers resigned and have another new one.  School hasn't informed us.  Just my kid told me a little bit and then I called school to clarify.  My kid is not happy again because she built trust with this teacher in the past month.  

Honestly, I don't think school can hire the teacher with good quailty and experience in the middle of year term.  The part of new teachers also treat it as a interim job, has no commitment, no passion, no experience.  

As parents, we always need to check school's situation via other parents information, kids limited feedback and babykom.  School don't have enough communication to parents.  I have been very tired about it.

Hi, can I get a Personal Message too??  Are you guys getting together for a meeting??   My son in K1 and both his teachers were replaced.  Ever since then, he seems not as happy before, and he does not want to talk about school at home.   Before the change, after he came home, he would talk to me about the school.  Still very painfully struggling whether to change school for him.   Would appreciate if anyone can share more of your thoughts with me.  Thank you.

May I join your meeting, my son also in K1 now, he's unhappy in school life, I'm so worry about the change in this school, what wrong with Ms Chung? She's so good, my son love her so much!!

I would like to share w/you about my thoughts after meeting. What the principal told us:
- the mission would not be changed (strength on English and Maths)
- Full days of K2 and K3 would be kept

After meeting and shared with other parents, understand more what the class happened in last 3 weeks - a terrible mess in my kid's class.  After the teachers left, they have 2 new teachers - one is okay, one has no any teaching experience.  She doesn't know how to handle, take care of kids, so kids don't listen to them and the class became messing...  Now's better than beginning. At least, my kid said he likes the new teachers (In the past weeks, he doesn't like them).
  
I am still hesitating about the teachers ability and principal's promise.  But, I also consider that (1) no K1 vacancy in other kindergartens now, (at least for better kindergarten) (2) if change to other schools now for K1 which may not be my preferred school. I may consider to change again in K2 if vacancy available in better school later. (3) Now, Kid is adapting the new teachers.  If change now, they need to adapt the new school/teacher/classmates.  And they may adapt again if change in K2.  Too many changes for K1 kids.  I don't want to change for sake of change. Unless I can find the good school now.

So, I would stay for a while and I would closely monitor my kids' feelings and teachers' performance, push school to hire experienced teachers.  

Seems school is open to listen our comments. As a parents and customers, we have right to give comment to school and I will keep communication with them in the coming months.  Let's see if they are on good track.

Current parents,
I was planning to let my girl study in SJC in Sept, but I change my mind after reading the news that you put up.
Please let the school knows, if they cannot clarify what's happening, they will lose a lot of K1 students next year.  
Thank you for posting up news .  Please keep us up date, because I don't think they will let us know anything.

Very disappointed !

又係門面官腔 !

Need to be changed !!
Change must be  best !
Please give me the time to improve!

唉!  滿口英文， 我真係極度反感！！ Mrs. Luk 係純正中國人, 土生土長，唔好成日標榜自己講美式英語，其實你懂聽、懂講廣東話；為何竟然要家長遷就她說英語，會否有點過份 ！真係荒謬至極 !! Mrs Luk 若真想回流、融入香港，並經常發表遠大而崇高抱負延續父親梁廷生之宏願(希望真係言行合一)發展教育事業，請你首先學好廣東話，唔好俾人覺得只係 "竹星妹" 一名，甚麼中國文化未攪清楚『如尊敬別人 』 !!

Open Day 之用意係要澄清"師變風暴" 學校未來政策方向，會否Cut 班 ? 而唔係成日自圓其說講自己會Do the best !! Very Boring !!!!!

請問昨天的開放日情況如何?是否有具体的方向?校長態度如何?好心急?

我突然想請問有無人知道去世的校董太太係邊? 校董仔女咁僧miss chung, 會唔會係.........?

可能係我先入為主,我總覺現在的校長太霸道,跟本沒有考慮到我們家長及小朋友.
我的朋友常說,要認識一所學校,見一見校長,看一看她的衣着談吐便能知道學校內涵,我上周與我先生到校查詢,早上可能大家都忙碌吧,一團混亂,校長話我囡囡都未嚟讀,遲D先,遲D會有家長會.想問多句都冇.後來站大門的一位老師話不如你放學再嚟啦,放學冇咁忙.
我同先生放學又再去學校,可能早咗少少,校車仲接緊小朋友,不過又係得個「亂」,校車姨姨好似搶小朋友咁,頻頻說「呢個我嘅,個果唔係」最可怕係連D老師都好似唔知「边個學生係边個」，後來,有人close咗個校門,冇得睇.但有個姨姨又開番門,攬住個書包追叫校車「miss話俾錯咗書包喎,要換番」真攪笑!!!
試想想,即時解僱校長咁嚴重,原來只係為咗話改革學校,但自己連校長註冊資格都未符合,學校連上課老師都在招聘中,真係「害人子弟」.校長越講越唔到題,淨係話遲D家長會會再講清楚,我老公嬲嬲哋就『拜拜』囉.

Through today's news, I think I have a better understanding to what has been happening.

Anyway, our kids interest and the school's future are parents' concern.  The people who's taken up the school should have a mind for the betterment of our children.  They have to face the parents' worries, and show how they will do in detail.  No hollow words and mere promise please.

They have to know that we are truly supporting to a school which are really concerned about our kids' future......

Well,  the news keeps getting worse and worse.  Saw this on the other discussion forum - "我們是否陸校長的白老鼠??".   The police had to come while Ms. Chung was trying to collect her things from the school.

I did not receive a notice about the meeting.  But like the other people, I will come to the school on Jan-27 trying to get some answers.  As a parent, I am becoming more and more despaired.  My kid now cries every morning not wanting to go to school.  Can someone offers me some advice, please!
