教育局常任秘書長黃鴻超表示，英國哈羅公學將開辦香港首所國際寄宿學校，並提供1500個學額和560個宿位。
黃鴻超說，哈羅提供的學額數目超過了政府原先的規定，顯示其對香港成為教育樞紐的信心和承擔，能吸引世界不同地方學生來港就學，為香港多元化的學校體系增添新動力。
他表示，特區政府將繼續監察國際學校學額的供應情況，跟進相應措施滿足需求。
政府去年撥出供國際學校投標辦學的4幅用地，其中位於屯門的土地由英國哈羅公學投得。
成立於1572年的哈羅公學是英國傳統寄宿男校，曾培養兩名英國國王、一名約旦
國王，以及包括邱吉爾在內的7名英國首相等名人。該校首次來港辦學，在泰國
曼谷和北京均設有分校。

See the model of their new campus on TV today, looks very attractive. They said that they will receive application starting 2011.

A quick survey to all :
Do you think there will be a lot of applicants?
作者: Hedgies 時間: 10-4-15 11:03
I dont know about the others.. for my kids, they will surely apply to Harrow HK... though it is only Harrow's International branch, the Harrow carries a lot of weight... Winston Churchill and Nehru.. it will be a great privilege for my kids if they get admitted...
作者: crystalpui 時間: 10-4-15 11:06
could you please tell how much is the school fee as I can't open the file
thanks!
作者: Hedgies 時間: 10-4-15 11:11
they said they would not be the most expensive IS in HK... as far as I know, the most expensive school right now is ISF (~HK$150,000 p.a.).. so even Harrow would not be more expensive than ISF, I am sure it wont be much cheaper either... so I guess HK$150,000 p.a. may be a good gauge..
作者: heidikl 時間: 10-4-15 16:22
It is my dream, I hope my son can be admitted too.
But I just worry that there will be a lot of applicants and so I made this quick survey...

while there will be many applicants, there will be many spaces too as they will open most of the class (Year 1 - 10) in their first year of opening... so work harder and maybe your kids will get admitted too!!!

Let's not jump into conclusion what this new school is going to be like.
But, of course, everyone has his rights to think (or actual want or hope) what this school will be like...
I know. Any OTHER school is not as good as THAT school anyway.
Oh. I am not talking about YOU, OK?

I think it can attract kids of expats living at Gold Coast and many wealthy families along Castle Peak Road. It is a good alternative for them as now there is no IS in NT west and they have to travel for long hours everyday going to Kowloon or HK Island.
It may of course attract very rich kids from Mainland just across the border, but Harrow is quite different from ISF as it is really a UK school while ISF is a bilingual school with mandarin focus.
If the admission requirement is strict and high on English proficiency and academic standards, I believe the school can gradually intake higher quality students coming from Kowloon or NT. So it really depends.
For families living on HK Island, there are already many famous IS for them to choose, so Harrow will likely be not attractive to them.

But if you apply for primary section, you have to add on the boarding fee as well, normally it's almost the same fee as school fee.
They said boarding starts only in secondary school, and is not compulsory.

Well, edexp... oh maybe shall I call you Wisekid2007 or the "clones"??? Well, I dont mean it will matter.. and we all know it is YOU!
I think in your mind there is only one good IS .. that is the school where you r kid is studying..
Well, if I were you, I would go get a life and do something more productively... this is a forum where parents would want to share productive information.. the moment when you start to advocate for YOUR school but bad-mouthing other IS.. then we all know it is you who start your propaganda engine (or mouth) again trying to tell people your kid get admitted to YOUR school...

While boarding is not compulsory, I think putting the kids on boarding at Harrow sounds very interesting to me (if my kids have a chance as the boarding space would be assigned to foreign students first and the places are limited).. Boarding would give the kids true experience of how a traditional British boarding school environmente is all about... this would train them to be highly independently, making them well equipped for overseas college education.. also, the fratenity relationship may prove to be a life-long asset for the boarding kids...
Harrow's boarding is a very unique offering in HK while no other IS is able or planning to offer... if given a chance, i would definitely let my kids try the boarding arrangement...
作者: papa_pop 時間: 10-4-16 15:03 標題: Harrow and Churchill
I don't hold prejudice for or against Harrow. It seems good for HK to have a branch from an elitist boarding school in the UK. However, I feel uncomfortable with the way Harrow promotes the school's association with Winston Churchill.
According to Churchill (his autobio The Early Life), he didn't really enjoy his schooling there. He didn't do well at Harrow and found himself handicapped at Latin, French and Maths (there's no way he would be allowed to learn Greek). What he enjoyed most was Harrow songs and he just couldn't wait to go to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. He said he would have been happier and found it more beneficial for him to study somewhere/something else. He noted that he would not want to study at Harrow if given a choice.
作者: Hedgies 時間: 10-4-16 16:07 標題: 回覆 1# papa_pop 的文章
agreed... Winston Churchill might or might not like Harrow... but undeniably, he did graduate from Harrow and this is partly how Harrow picks up its fame...
One may like or dislike Harrow... but no one can argue that Harrow and Eaton are not the most prestigious schools in the UK...

Harrow is not the only boarding school in HK. Li Po Chun United World College is similar, even though only provide the final 2 years of secondary school. Interested people can visit their website http://www.lpcuwc.edu.hk/

Many thanks for your observations and comparsions. Thus, can you compare various internationsl schools in Hong Kong in terms of public exam performance? Do you know the breakdowns of ESF schools?

I agree with edexp this time, and WYmom.
Imagine you are going to 名店食府，you are prepared to spend that much money to try the best dishes, do you want to visit 本店， or try the 分店 ? I guess the big chef can't split himself between two restaurants.
And what kind of teachers will this Harrow HK
hire ? Would you imagine the best brithish teachers prefer to work as an expat in HK or stay home ? If they hire Asian teachers, I think this is not the Harrow in my mind.

我就冇咁得閒留意 "佢" 點解要分身, 更唔想知佢做乜要鬧人. 總之, 無論有乜野原因, 都唔可以鬧人, 連基本網上討論區應有的禮貌都冇, 抵比人 BAN .

此外，大家經常指責 wisekid2007及其各個化身在 BK態度惡劣，經常辱罵他人。但大家有沒有留意，往往都是其他人先作出無理挑釁，惡意人身攻擊，他按不住才反攻，肯定一點的是他 EQ 不夠高，一遇無理挑釁，很容易發怒及失控而去反擊及辱罵那些惡意人身攻擊的網民。
極不同意knowledger 的觀點。小人有幸(不幸?)跟wisekid2007及其各個化身辯論過，亦嘗過沒有挑釁，沒有對錯，各自表述下被辱罵stupid。(也訐在他眼中，我的觀點太低級；太垃圾...)
還有一點...對不起恕我有嚴重偏見，但我無法控制自己，已認定knowledger這個旁觀者也是另一個化身。
他太喜歡把"分析"寫成"分柝"了...

It WAS Wisekid2007 and his clones which told the forum about his appearance on newspaper... so it is Wisekid2007 and his clones who are telling the info about his family and son to everyone on this BK.. Ain't I right? If it was not Wisekid2007, no one will know who he is (or care to know who he is)..
Well maybe iamfine is also one of Wisekid2007's clones who is now panicking about any repercussion that may fall upon his son as a result of what HE DID and SAID on the forum... well, it may be too late and he should learn to be responsible for what he said / did on the Internet..

請記清楚 wisekid2007 有否在沒有挑釁，沒有對錯，各自表述下被辱罵stupid。 如果真有其事，相信他願真心向你道歉，因為這絕不是他的作風。他只會在被挑釁下或被無理人身攻擊下，或對付那些無賴(不是指你)才會辱罵對方。
也訐 ...
knowledger 兄有興趣討論，我也奉陪兩句。
當你唔係avatar:
1. 你咁了解wisekid2007的作風，咁維護佢；愛之深；責之切；叫佢自我反省下啦!周街牙齒印唔通因為人人都妒忌佢天才橫溢?定佢目中無人，肆意辱罵而不自知?不過我諗你都係慳番啖氣；佢係唔會接受問題根源係自己。
當你avatar:
同上。
有心同wisekid2007平反就開過條新thread，我都唔想阻住其他人(包括你)討論Harrow；包保有好多好多苦主入去聲討。
最後一句:
"也訐在他眼中，我的觀點太低級；太垃圾 - 至於這一點，在BK也有很多其會員何嘗不是如此, 包括 nintendo 喜歡冷言諷語、冷嘲熱諷呢!"
人地做賊你又去做賊唔代表你唔係賊。不要打混帳!

I actually am not aware that the wise one has a monopoly over the word idiot. I think his trademark words are "you are really stupid and ignorance" (not a typo here, he can't spell ignorant).
Wisekid's idiots are different from the idiots I refer to. Sometimes I get too meticulous when it comes to choice of words. Bad habit, I know. I use the word idiot not because it is one of the few words I know. In fact, when I call someone an idiot, I mean he/she is an idiot in its technical sense, not an imbecile, a feeble-minded or a moron (have a look of their meanings if you are interested: chapter 2 of "Yes, We Have No Neutrons" by Dewdney)
