Perth Amboy Catholic School

My daughter doesn't know English. After attending kindergarten in this school, she became confident and can understand English. She likes the teachers in this school very much. She said that the teachers are very patient and kind.

This is a school that had 2 different principles in less than one year for unknown reason. It is very unfortunate that this is the only catholic school in our catchment area so there is a limited alternative unless you are fortunate to be rich and put your child in a private school. The principle is extremely busy with her laptop and being a go by book person, She is never seen in the morning when kids are going to school. Honestly I have not seen her once walking around school greeting students or parents in the past year and a half, If you make any comments about any of her teachers they become difficult and so much defensive. Earlier this year the principle has a made a big shuffle in classes where she mage a Kg teacher teaches grade 2, 3 and 4 and hired teachers that she knows from other schools she worked for. The important thing to mention that teachers do not treat special needs kids very well and I personally heard one of the EAs revealing the child medical issue when another parent asked. The special need supervising teacher is so old fashion and has very little to offer. The School side door is left unmonitored and anyone can get in by knocking on the door and anyone inside opens it, I witnessed that twice. The reason I wanted to review that school is my hope that the education minister or the superintendent of the York district school board reads it and investigate what I say as I have tried to voice my concerns to my child's teacher then the principle but she was very dismissive and defensive.
