Church schools in Gozo

Helle there,

I have a daughter who is about to start kindergarten school in October. I'm very in doubt about which school to chose for her because I heard bad things about Church Schools like St. Francis School in Victoria for example. Someone told me that nuns have preferences on children whose parents give higher offers to the school... is that true? if it's so it would be very miserable and that would show again the hypocrisy of the Church....I hope to be contradicted. Thanks.

From my experience with any schools the more you help the school the more they favor your kids it's unfair but its true and it could be any kind of help .Its a good school and you are lucky if you got accepted in but if not if you are in the Victoria public school address its one of the best as well .

if you feel like that about the church, why would you want to place your child in their school ?

Thanks for your answer. Yes it's very unfair even because if a family can't give a lot it's not because it doesn't want to help the Church. I heard bad and good things about Victoria public school as well.

Because in the meantime I heard that church schools are the best ones for the level of teaching they have. I only hope that rumors are not true.

There  is more good than bad in each school  and she will get a good education wherever she goes remember therei is no perfect place  but most importaant to me is that my child is happy cause when they are happy they will learn .

I'm going to supervise my child's mood and then I can always change school whenever I want. This is the only thing I can do.  Thanks for your advices :)
