孩子要上中学了,想了解下父母都些选择:
1、好公立学校校区里的房子,实在买不起。
2、私立学校的学费 。不知这里考奖学金的可能大不大?
3、教会学校的学费还合理,但很多要求家长信教。竟然还有校长对家长面试。
想请教下来的早的父母,还有其他选择吗?

原来墨尔本没有公立的精英学校?完全是按区上学?
评论
墨尔本公立的精英学校一共就两所:
Melbourne high (在south yarra)
MacRobinsons (拼写估计有误,在city)
其他基本上就是私立和学区的公校可以选择。

了解, 那在墨尔本能够入读精英学校的孩子都是精英中的精英喔
评论
LZ可以参考一下。
黄色是私立学校
红色是知名的学区公校
绿色是教会学校
其实结果很明显,私校还是遥遥领先的。

是的。我认识的能够进入这两所学校的孩子,都是不是一般的素质。特别是那个Melbourne high,那个学校就跟“哈里波特”的城堡一样,每次坐火车路过South yarra去city上班,都是那么的一眼就认出来的。那个女校一直都是蝉联VCE的第一名。
其他条件好的家庭,可以送去私立学校,我那个Attachment可以看出,好的私校出来的结果跟这两所精英也差不多,遥遥领先知名公校。
另外就是好的教会学校,教学质量也超好,基本仅次于精英学校,可是就是要面试,不是面试孩子,是面试家长,不是基督徒,根本无法混入,那些对于非信徒有名额的教会学校,招生说明不火爆。
公校好的,就得住在zone里面,不过现在rental很多,学校人数越来越多,比如Glen waverley high和Balwyne high一年都有500人以上考VCE,比我当年在上海读高中那届高考人还多。
最后最后,就是不少家长会让孩子先读普通学校,不过平时送很多补习,然后考私校奖学金,不过现在私校奖学金越来越少,曾经有75%奖学金的,比如PLC,MLC,KOROWA,Scotch,现在最多也就给50%. 那么一年下来,也得12-15k(含很多课外活动费用)。
希望对LZ有帮助!

谢谢,非常有用!

是的, 我一直很惊讶墨尔本居然只有两所精英中学, 这样比较来, 悉尼的家长们还是很幸福的, 起码有那么多可以考, 选一所离家近点的可能性也要大得多!

维州拟建两所新的公立精英中学
据2008年4月2日《Herald Sun》报道,维州政府将在东西部远郊Berwick和Wyndham Vale各建一所男女生混校政府精英中学,预计将于2010年开始招收九年级高中新生入学就读。东部的Berwick精英中学将设在Monash大学 Berwick分校内;西部的Wyndham Vale精英中学则建在Manor Lakes Blvd,距离Werribee火车站7公里左右。
目前维州仅有两所政府精英中学,分别是MacRobertson女校和Melbourne High男校,其学生在每年的维州VCE高考中成绩位居最前列。此外,还有36所公立学校设有精英班。政府已经计划设立更多的专长精英学校,比如 Monash大学Clayton分校内的John Monash数学与科学精英学校以及西区的Maribyrnong体育学校。
目前就读七年级的学生都有资格参加明年举行的这些精英中学入学选拔考试。
此外,维州政府也计划改变公立学校学生就读精英中学的比率,目前这一比率是3%,未来可能会提高至5%。
More smart schools for Victoria
April 02, 2008 12:00am Article from: Herald Sun
VICTORIA'S first co-ed selective state schools for gifted children will open in outer growth suburbs Berwick and Wyndham Vale in 2010.
Premier John Brumby and Education Minister Bronwyn Pike yesterday announced the location of the two year 9-12 schools, which will give bright students from boom areas the opportunity for an advanced education.
The 1200-pupil Berwick school, in Melbourne's outer east, will be located at a Monash University campus.
The 800-student Wyndham Vale school, in Melbourne's outer west, will be built in Manor Lakes Blvd. It will have a partnership with Melbourne University.
The schools, which will be named next year, will ease demand on the state's existing select-entry schools, MacRobertson Girls High and boys school Melbourne High, which were Victoria's top VCE performers last year.
The new academically selective schools will open at the beginning of 2010, with 200 year 9 students each.
Current year 7 students will be eligible to sit entrance tests next year.
Mr Brumby said the university links would ensure students received the highest standard of education.
"These partnerships will allow highly able students to work on joint research projects, attend special classes and lectures, and share facilities with a tertiary institution," he said.
"There will also be exciting opportunities for staff from the universities and schools to work together."
The Berwick school will be built next to a train station, but the Wyndham Vale site is more than 7km from the nearest station.
It is believed the school will run buses to and from Werribee station.
The Government originally earmarked one of the schools for North Melbourne. Alternative plans are being considered for that site.
The proportion of students from other public or private schools will be capped at 5 per cent, to ensure they don't lose all their brightest students.
Beaconsfield mum Victoria Poulos said the Berwick school was great for the area.
Ms Poulos has two children, Isabelle, 9, and Brigitta, 7, who are home-schooled.
"I had to pull them out of school because it couldn't meet their needs, but this school will certainly give parents more options.
"I know families who have sold their homes and left for the city so their kids could go to a good school."

补充一点,很多好的公校,如Univeristy High School,都有精英班,招生不受居住区域限制。这些学校的精英班都有各自的入学考试(通常是在7月份左右),考试合格后还有面试。有兴趣的家长可以去这些学校了解一下情况。以University High School为例,去年招收50人,参考者有300多。

这两所学校都是从九年级开始的.
