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

Can we get the $400000 back after the kid finishes studies in RC?

Well I think this measure is as expected (as seen in DC) and who would not want a share from the assertive parents given the keen competiton for admission to International Schools? The Government should have subsidized RC and other international schools as they provide education to children of the middle class families (and above of course) and it is this middle class that can't get any benefit from the society (medical care, education for kids etc). Declaration of Interest: I am not RC parent.

It's a news for those who can afford.

教育商品化，不就是香港教育的失敗。只擔心未來收生的質素。富有的人有優先，不再是按小朋友的能力是否合適在RC！可憂。

呢間學校係咪痴咗缐呀

私營學校要用收debenture etc. 無可厚非，若每一位新生也要收debentures，又可能未必每個家庭可負擔，這樣 ...

My understanding is that these Nomination Right payments are non-refundable.  So they are different from the usual school debentures.  Basically what these Nomination Rights do is to "buy" the students a priority over the others who couldn't afford the payment.  If there are really worries that not every parent could afford to pay for a debenture, what the school could do instead is to give the parents a choice of either buying the debenture or paying an annual levy.  There are schools in HK doing just that.

對我來說絕對係壞消息！
似乎就連面試機會都好渺茫…4O萬…唉！仲以為難得揾到一間適合又學費合理嘅IS，原來我一路都係發緊夢！

贊同！苦了中產。小女有幸今年獲取錄，如果遲一年恐怕連面試機會都未必有。

學校無傻，只是市場舊肥豬肉太大。
身處這校，又愛又恨。今年阿仔遇上一位熱誠無限的班主任，好好！

Come to think about it.  This is actually a very biased policy.  If you can't pay for the so-called nomination right, you would probably not even be able to get an interview (as all the interview spots will be taken up by those who are able to afford such a huge sum of money).  So even assuming one's kids are very smart, there will be very little hope of getting into this school.  This policy is very different from most international schools which only require you to pay debenture (or something similar) upon admission, as opposed to, prior to the interview.  So, for RC, the initial screening test would be wealth, rather than your previous school reports, your CV, or even your date of application...  And wealth, as we all know, is the most detestable form of discerning children's ability.  
I therefore have very strong reservations about the values this school is teaching; and the type and quality of children that it's going to get once this policy is implemented...

I can understand the requirement to buy debentures or pay extra levy once accepted, but not to pay a large sum of $ to get an interview chance.

It says ".... Limited to maximum 60 students in Year 1 for 2013-14 academic year. Within this category, nominees are ranked in order of receipt of their Nomination Rights Application Form."  

How many Year 1 students do they normally take in?  I can envisge people queueing up outside the school waiting to hand in the Form.

It's not just a chance of doing the assessment/interview.  The Admission Policy says "...Applicants who pass the assessment/interview will be offered a place..."    So RC is not choosing the ones with the highes marks or who perform best in the interview.  So long as you pass the assessment/interview, you are in until all the places have been filled up.  The only hope for students who are at the back of the queue is to have those in front fail the assessment/interview.   Otherwise they wouldn't stand a chance.

或者我對佢哋今次o既計劃有偏見, 但我總覺得佢要求得咁大數額提名權, 佢唔會咁"輕易"放棄俾得起o既學生(家庭)同埋嗰四十萬

bobbycheung

ILBC,

There are 3 categories of applicants having priority over these Nomination Right applicants ie. children of RC/ESF/DC teachers/staff and siblings of current RC students.  Then it comes the 60 Nomination Right applicants.  I am interested to know how many places will be left in Year 1 after taking in all these applicants.   (By the way, these Nomination Right applicants may have siblings who would in future have the priority.)   The 5th category is for children currently attending ESF kindergartens.  If you don't fall into these 5 categories, the chance of admssion is probably nil.
