Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

Yes, Canossa Convent is affiliated to St Anthony’s Cannossian for Secondary and Catholic JC.


We are worried with transiting her into the new school. That it may affect her negatively and dislike school. Currently, she is excited to go to school everyday.

oh in that case, stay put lorr if she likes the school so much.
what is yr preference then ?? is st margaret nearer to yr hse ??

St Margaret is a little further then Canossa but both distance are comfortable.


We had a preference for St Margaret and thus register but failed in the balloting. However, we are influence by Canossa cos we now know more about the school. Thinking aloud, it is not a fair comparison in a way cos we are not exposed to the St Margaret’s culture yet.

ya, sometimes after getting use to the school, one may not like to make changes.

btw, hearsay canossa convent may merge with SACPS, isit true ??

[frust parent]

:? nope, had not heard of the merger. hmm much much further away ... one more reason to transfer ??

Why do you like St Margaret’s over Canossa Convent? If the pull factor for St Margaret’s is that significant, then make a move. If not, just stay at Canossa Convent.

For the sake of your grandchildren, choose St Margaret’s now. That small adjustment won’t hurt her. Do it.
