NSW州教育部关于Hurstville Public School部分迁址计划遭到了广大家长们的强烈反对,昨天这一事件终于以教育部的妥协而告终,这是广大华人家长团结一致维护自己权益的成果。

愤怒的家长们已经迫使州政府收回其让Hurstville Public School的5和6年级学生迁址到邻近的男子高中上学的决定。
这个迁址计划将停止,价值1400万刀的15个新教室的建造计划原本将在本周一开始。现在州教育部不得不找其他替代方案来使用这些新教室或者干脆就让它们空关着。
Kogarah的议员Cherie Burton昨天早上面对着满礼堂愤怒的家长们,他们“不,不,不”的抗议声不绝于耳。这位议员要求家长们先平静下来,然后她向家长们的要求屈服了。
州政府原本计划把Hurstville PS的小学生们迁址到邻近中学的初中部上学,以缓解这个小学日益增加的学生就学压力。
然而,Burton女士说,她最终接受家长们的诉求不要把他们的孩子转到那个中学校园里上课。她说州政府将得找到额外的500万刀在Hurstville PS校园里建造新的教室大楼。
在最近的联邦大选中,Hurstville这个区域工党的得票率下降了16%,让在Kogarah工党的州席位岌岌可危。
州教育部的区域总长Phil Lambert通过中文翻译告诉家长们,州教育部预计Hurstville Public School的就学人数的增长最终可能收紧其OC班的入学条件,也就是严格地限制Hurstville区域之外的学生入读OC班。
Hurstville Public School的OC班,Year 5和Year 6一共有4个班120个名额,是NSW最受欢迎的OC班小学,同时也是大部分住在Hurstville区之外家长们填报志愿的第一选择。
南区的家长们让孩子考试入学OC班,并把这个小学的OC班作为最终考入精英中学的跳板。
Lambert先生告诉家长们,重新发展Georges River College Hurstville Boys Campus将给Hurstville Public School提供更多的教学空间以容纳这个地区未来大幅增长的就学人数。

Parents win $19m backdown on primary school
Anna Patty EDUCATION EDITOR
September 9, 2010 - 3:00AM
ANGRY parents have forced the state government into a costly backdown on its decision to transfer year 5 and 6 pupils from Hurstville Public School to a nearby boys' high school.
The move will not go ahead, yet construction of 15 new classrooms worth $14 million - which were meant to accommodate the pupils - will begin on Monday as planned. The Education Department will have to find alternative uses or leave them empty.
The state MP for Kogarah, Cherie Burton, faced a school hall full of angry parents yesterday morning who shouted ''no, no, no'' and punched the air in protest. She asked for calm before she gave in to their demands.
The state government had planned to transfer the primary school pupils to the boys' junior high school to accommodate a predicted growth in enrolments at the primary school.
However, Ms Burton said she had finally accepted that parents did not want to move their children to the high school. She said the government would have to find an additional $5 million to build new classrooms at the primary school.
''Hurstville primary will not have to go to the high school,'' she said.
''We will find another way to fill those 15 classrooms.
''I will secure additional funding for new classrooms at Hurstville primary school.
''This has been a very passionate and emotional issue. Now is a time for healing.''
The ALP vote fell by 16 per cent in some areas of the federal seat of Hurstville last month, putting the state seat of Kogarah (held by 17.7 per cent) at risk.
Speaking with the aid of a Chinese translator, Phil Lambert, the Sydney regional director of the Education Department, told parents that predicted enrolment growth would eventually restrict out-of-area enrolments in the primary school's opportunity classes.
The classes, offered to 120 students across years 5 and 6, are the most popular in the state and are mostly filled by students who live outside the Hurstville area.
They are awarded on the basis of an annual selection test and are viewed as a competitive stepping stone to selective high schools.
Mr Lambert told parents that redevelopment of the Georges River College Hurstville Boys Campus would have provided the primary school with the space it needed to accommodate future enrolments in the area.

除了Hurstville地区本身人口增长引起HPS的就学压力以外,这个小学的4个OC班设置也绝对是个原因 - 对家长有巨大的吸引力,吸引大量华人家长搬来Hurstville学区就读。
所以,州教育部除了在HPS校园建造新的教室大楼之外,也应该考虑在Hurstville附近地区寻找新的小学开设OC班,大概也是能够缓解HPS的压力的。

原来是这样

但是这个胜利依旧没有解决人满为患的问题。

南区好市围小学,大概99%都是华人小孩吧。
评论
州教育部如果从已经给HPS的300万之外再额外给500万刀,那么HPS就可以推倒那些临时民工棚教室,造新的有15+间教室的教学大楼,那么大概问题就解决了。

华人平时可能是一盘散沙,但在涉及到自己孩子的教育问题的时候,绝对不会含糊。

造几个高楼就都解决了,姬拉蒂应该为这个纽省最大的小学多拨点款,别瞎花钱。

大部分都是临建的板房!!

同意, 人数太多对一家学校来说不是好事(hps已经nsw 最大的小学了?), 把附近的学校搞好分担一些hps的压力才是根本的解决方法
评论
Hurstville Public School 是NSW 最大的小学, 它的邻居Carlton Public School 是第二。

澳洲公立小学的基础建设问题基本上我们可以算在霍华德头上。
联盟党执政10多年来的政策就是在公立学校的基建上“不作为”,所以国库里有这么多钱。
评论
四个人分四个角,当中一人,总指挥站左中旁,一切行动听指挥,整个过程安排有条有理,图片中是当中一个。当时我们有四套方案这是第二套。
