啟新書院推出全新提名權計劃

... 為配合學校的長遠發展，啟新書院現推出全新的提名權計劃 (Nomination Rights Scheme)，購買提名權並符合入學要求的學生將能優先獲得分
配學位。
提名權定價為每名學生港幣40萬元。申請購買提名權的家長，其子
女的面試次序將排在有兄弟姊妹在啟新書院就讀的學生之後。家長需
於申請入學時繳交港幣5萬元按金，餘額則於子女面試成功並獲得學
位後付清。倘若學生面試不成功，5萬元按金將獲全數退還。如家長
決定接受學位並已繳付提名權的餘額，即使最後放棄學位，所付的金
額亦不獲退還。
位於馬鞍山的啟新書院是一所由英基教育服務有限公司(ESL)營
運的私營獨立學校。啟新於2006年創校，發展一直非常理想，至
2011-12學年結束時，學生人數已接近 2,000，就讀於一至十三年級。
ESL董事局主席杜茵妮表示：「啟新書院有別於其他英基學校，由
於沒有政府資助， 要 依靠學費來維持學校的營運 。自創校以來啟新已建立起良好的聲譽，在提供優質教育方面亦非常
成功。成功教育的關鍵在於長遠的規劃及建全的財務， 一旦達到這個目標，便能專注於發展課程和提升設備。」
在2012-13學年，啟新書院每年學費為港幣80,700元（
1至6年級）、港幣107,900元（7至11年級）及港幣10
9,100元（12至13年級）。此外，每位於2012年8月入
學的 一年級新生，需繳付港幣23,500元的建校費（不可退還）。於
2013年8月入學的一年級新生 ，則需繳付港幣50,000元的建校費。新生入讀二至十二年級，
則需按比例繳付。
啟新書院校長Dr Harry Brown （白翰林），經由繳付建校費，家長更直接地參予了學校未來的發展
計劃。他指家長在教育方面的期望有增無減，學校需要不斷提升教學
質素及校內設施。
有意申請提名權於2013年8月入讀一年級的家長，可於2012
年9月1日（星期六）至9月30日（星期日）期間遞交申請表。如
欲申請入讀其他級別，亦可於2012年9月1日（星期六）起提出
申請。家長可致電3556 3556查詢詳情。

其實係架！對於沒比40萬，沒有弟兄係到讀，不是Cat 1,不是英基幼稚園既小朋友係會有好大影響！

Non-refundable.

We should launch a complaint system back up by mass media and all IS parents.

HK係咁, UK 又係咁.  小學係咁, 大學都係咁.

I doubt if people will choose to pay this for a priority...I believe many people will choose to apply other IS then.

The fee is huge compare with other IS, since it's NOT debenture and it's non-refundable! knowing RC/DC have to repay the loan to ESF, hope the scheme wouldn't be so taught after all loan been settled few years later.

I guess any school doing it would be the same, wouldn't it?

最重要的一點 並不是她們收多少提名費, 建校費或種種型式學費以外的收費, 而是她們拿到這筆錢, 她們會把多少錢投放回本校教育裡, 還是拿這筆錢作別的用途.

Kids come and go every year, but they are the minority.  Year 1 kids remain the "core".  Admitting more than 1/3 of the Year 1 students on the basis of their ability and willingness to pay $400,000 is a bit like 自毀長城 to me.

Seems like pure demand and supply. As a private institution, I don't see why RC shouldn't be allowed to do it.

上年DC已開始提名權！但上年在EK的回應好似無咁激烈？？

宜家就有提名權，又有建校費，遲d會唔會又有其他不同項目要父母俾錢？

I just checked DC's website and found DC's nomination rights- also HK$400,000, with same terms (or at least similar, as I didn't scrutinize and compare each term).

Anyone knows when DC started its nomination rights? If it's not a new thing for 2013-14 year, then it seems RC is simply following suit. Sigh!

ESF schools are not selective in admissions.  How about RC and DC?  Are they selective or non-selective?

My another view of the scheme is that, $400,000 is a large amount of money. With his huge sum of money, prospective parents actually have far more better choices than RC, e.g. CIS. Hope that this group of super rich families won't pick RC and ordinary families can still enjoy a fair game of admission.

Although I don't endorse the new policy I do have some sympathy for the school. These days schools can't get good teachers from overseas unless they are ready to pay as much as $40k (including rental allowance) for each teacher month after month.  What can the schools do if their teachers need to spend more than half of the salaries on rents?

Please note that the current parents are facing the increasing school fees already.
The raise in the teacher's salaries are covered by the incerase of the school fees.

Moreover, the campus has been let out for running ESL language and sports classes.
Some private swimming clubs also rent the school pool for training classes.

ESL has already asked the 2012 new parents to pay $23,500 for the building levy which will rise up to $50,000 in 2013.
ESL has already been doing everything she can to get money from parents.
I just wonder why ESL keeps shouting 'lack of money'.

Perhaps, ESL should let the parents have a clear view of the books before proposing any other money sucking schemes.

Could not agree more.  Stay fool and naive may not be a bad thing when striving for social justice. ESF should reconsider the whole thing. They are not running tutorial school, they should have a noble thinking behind as they are providing education. Parents are entrusting them in taking care of their most precious children. Education thou can be privately funded but it should not be twisted to just becoming a pure  business.   The school administration should be accountable for this malpractice.
