为了缓解现有的两所经营学校的压力，维省决定新建两所经营学校，并针对这两所经营学校的筛选、管理等征求家长的意见。讨论不包括是否建立精英学校以及在那里建立。不知道这种意见有多大多用，不过，看看，填写一份问卷或许就真的影响到了以后孩子读书的现实。

The Government has committed to the establishment of two new selective entry schools – one in North Melbourne and one in the outer eastern growth corridor of Melbourne. These two new schools will be co-educational schools that will cater for students in Years 9-12.
会在哪呢？ringwood?
评论
North Melbourne的那所地址已经定下来了，东区的还没有最后定案，到明年才会公布，不过有可能在Ringwood哦。
这两所精英混合中学将对所在区周边的私立学校、教会学校以及公立中学产生深远影响，势必也将影响一些地区的房价。今天本来也想在“居者有屋”版发个类似的帖子，还没来得及，回头再好好讨论讨论。

请问所谓的精英学校，是不是就是不管你住哪里，成绩好的都可能被录取？没有所谓SCHOOL ZONE的概念．
评论
是的,MELB HIGH好像每个学校选3个，不管学校的好坏~~
评论
Glen waverley的可能性基本上没有
评论
谢谢．
BTW，你家孩子是不是即可以选择BRENTWOOD SC又可以选择GW SC的啊？
评论
对
评论
为什么？
估计不管在哪儿都是找块地新建学校，不然当地学生怎么办啊
评论
Glen waverley算不上outer eastern 。今天打听了一下，传言应该在我们这一线。不过在哪，怎么建（新建还是改造）等，都没定。。。甚至最后是否建，什么时候建，都很难说。
评论
对周边的学校还是有相当大的影响的，因为最优秀的尖子生将流失到精英学校。
事实上，私立学校特别是一些教会学校已经很担心精英中学建在本区，同区的公立中学也同样面临这个问题。
Expecting the worst: Mater Christi College principal Mary Fitz-Gerald is dreading the possible creation of a select-entry school in Ringwood.
评论
关键看招生办法，如果象MELB HIGH平均招生的话，应该影响不大，尤其对好的学校
同样招3个，不好的学校流失的尖子生的比例要高的多~
总的来说2个学校的招生能力毕竟有限，师资力量也需要数据来检验，一个品牌的建立需要时间~
同样的尖子生，能拿到全奖的话还是会考虑私校或者教会学校（我不知道拿到全奖有多难，只能拿半奖的话就要看经济实力了），除非将来这2所学校的声誉有很大的提高

那如果学校设立在Ringwood, Ringwood的房价就更要涨了，不是吗？

我也有一位朋友的女儿，原先在Blackburn High读的，后来考到Mac.Rob，每天起早做公车倒火车倒电车去上学，后来考上墨大牙科~
Top again: students from MacRobertson Girls High School celebrate.
根据今年维州高中会考各中学的表现，政府精英女校MacRobertson Girls High School成绩依然出类拔萃，非常突出，连续五年夺得第一，并在今年创出十年来的最佳成绩。
VCE高考成绩按分数评定，最高是50分，30分属于中等，超过40分即代表成绩优异。
MacRobertson Girls High今年总共有240名12年级女生参加考试，积分中位数达到39分，高于40分的尖子生比例高达43％，五分之四的学生VCE成绩比例在90以上，五分之一则在99以上！
如果我女儿将来能考上这所精英学校，我是一定毫不犹豫让她去上的。4
下面这篇文章提到新的精英学校给教会学校造成的威胁：
Catholic schools fear talent drain
July 14, 2007 The Age
CATHOLIC education authorities have attacked a State Government plan to build more "select-entry" schools for high achievers, warning that their sector could be undermined by losing top students to the public education system.
The Melbourne Catholic Education Office's attack on a proposal for two academically selective schools in the northern and eastern suburbs is likely to spark tension between public and private schools.
The plan was revealed by Premier Steve Bracks before last year's election.
The co-ed schools, expected to open by 2010, are designed to ease demand at the state's only existing select-entry government schools: MacRobertson Girls High School and Melbourne High School.
In a briefing to Catholic school principals, Catholic education director Stephen Elder writes: "The Government proposal … will see the Government itself as a high-end competitor to the more elite schools. Other government and Catholic schools that share parishes as part of the catchments of the new schools could face difficulties that arise when students of high academic merit leave their existing schools, having obtained a place in these schools in years 8 or 9."
Select-entry schools use tests to enrol academically talented students, with the aim of helping them to do even better. Each year, students from MacRobertson Girls High School and Melbourne High top the state in the VCE.
The Catholic briefing paper identifies four Catholic schools most likely to lose their best students when a select-entry school opens in North Melbourne: the Academy of Mary Immaculate in Fitzroy, Simonds Catholic College in West Melbourne, St Joseph's College in Melbourne and St Aloysius College in North Melbourne.
While the Government is yet to confirm the eastern site, the paper says "schools such as St Joseph's College, Ferntree Gully, and Mater Christi College, Belgrave, may be the most susceptible" once it is built.
Licardo Prince, a spokesman for Education Minister John Lenders said that having more selective schools would give parents greater choice about where they wanted gifted children to study.
But Melbourne University education expert Stephen Lamb — whose recent research raised concerns about schools in poorer areas losing top students to wealthier government schools — said the Catholic sector had good reason to be concerned.
"When you look at MacRobertson and Melbourne (High) — about 50 per cent of their intake is from private schools — so it will be the poorer end of the market, such as Catholic schools that are most affected because their parents will be drawn to the fact that there are no fees," Professor Lamb said.
The concern from Catholic authorities comes two weeks after the Government announced it would review the way students apply for select-entry schools. At present, students trying to get into MacRobertson and Melbourne High must do a three-hour exam, in which only a few hundred are chosen from thousands.
The Government review will examine whether selective tests could be done collectively rather than separately, and whether the three-hour entrance exam should be scrapped or replaced with a written application and interview.
The current 3 per cent cap for selective schools — designed to limit the number of students who are taken from other schools — is also under examination.
Liberal education spokesman Phil Davis, whose party went to the election with a pledge for four more select-entry schools — said they catered for only a small number of students. "What we need to do is raise standards across the board," he said.

很难说，几年后就可能市场会有反应
从购房者的角度，为什么要多花几万块钱买精英学校附近的房子？如果有合适的理由，这个房价就会涨
评论
Blackburn High和 Mac.Rob之间，自然会选择后者。
后面那句~~不过新的学校未必有这个高的声誉

不是每个学校选3个，而是每个学校year 8的人数的３％
评论
是吗？别人告诉我的~~也许你是对的
评论
就近上学，节省孩子的时间精力，周边的房子就会贵起来，这是毫无疑问的。

精英中学还就近上学？那也得有本事考得进去才行。呵呵～～
