I can't believe that choosing the best school for my son will be this hard.
Another answered prayer came in the mail today.
Yes, our application to Quakers Hill Public School was accepted. The school will accommodate us even if we are not within the local area.
The past months, since we have seriously considered it as a possible school for Liam, we have prayed that God direct us to the best decision. In our prayers, we are taking it as a sign that if Liam's application for enrollment in the said school is approved, then he is for that school. So since we got the answer to that prayer today, we should already be rejoicing, right?
Well call me nuts, but I'm just being a segurista. Sorry Lord, kulit ko ba? hehehe
So why again all the apprehension or hesitation?
The convenience and the logistics. It will be easier for me if he just goes to Barnier. I will be more at peace because his cousins go there (assuming Lance is not accepted in the OC programme).
My other questions about QHPS has been fully answered to my satisfaction the last time I was there. The school does utilize technology in their school curriculum, they have a lot of extra-curricular activties for their students. The academic programs are in place and are all time-tested. I like what they have to offer. They have Reading Eggs and Mathletics for their students. The school ranking is very good. And the thing is, they have OOSH within the school premises. Their school starts late, 9:10 am and ends late 3:15pm, so even if I continue working, it will not be as hard for me. The school is only 5 minutes away from home and not ten minutes as I initially thought (yes, I timed it!)
But I still want to make sure. Can you blame me? I'm just a parent who wants the best for her child.
I plan to still ask around and research more about the programmes in Barnier (it's not in their website). I will have to ask for the School Information Booklet so I can compare what they are to offer to their students.
So why am I still hesitating? Wala lang, stubborn? Probably. hehehe
QHPS gave us until 17 August to hand in all the other requirements. Hopefully by then, hubby and I have learned more about the programmes at Barnier, compared notes and have already arrived at the best decision.
Still praying that we will be guided every step of the way.
