聖士提反女子中小學擬轉直資- 家長,學生,舊生,市民齊反對

你每個月都供養父母, 可以扣稅。MPF一樣可以扣稅, 仲有捐款呢.. (就算當無做過慈善, 因為唔係你開支到見到), 咁都應該可以扣到最多$38K x 4 (兩公婆各有爸爸媽媽) + $12K x 2 = $176K * 17% tax rate = ~ $30k, 每月省回到 $2500。如果同父母同住, 仲可以免多D, 不過, assume 呢個年代好少同住...

We understand that increase of school fees will increase our burden....  Anyway, it's better for us to discuss matters about the school instead of personal income and expenses.....

But these few years we always have 75% tax refund.

Discussion on the 直資 seems useless cos most people feel that 已成定局。We can discuss the future changes and exchange information on the policy of the school.

一年3.6-4.2萬學費確實頗進取, 協恩和maybe跑馬地聖保祿(暫時)是中學才收學費, 都叫交少6年小學學費. 銅鑼灣聖保祿爭穿頭,  其學費多年來都是二千多元, 是普通中產較能接受的水平. 現在ssg 一開頭便近4萬, 如2015後入小一便要交足12年. 我第一眼見到報導, 感覺學校首年學費便如此高, 可見其目標亦高, 不只是擺脫政府政策這原因咁簡單, 看似要大番作為, 不知將來會否如其他聖公會直資般加完又加學費.  即使6/7萬月入的中產, 都未必/勉強應付到. 是否值,,要看埋有什麼師資,,課程優化, 課外活動,,語境, 和學費減免詳情.

有關個人開支只是想好清楚講明中產經濟壓力大,要交學費好大壓 ...

能負擔12年近4萬學費, 月入估計要6.5萬以上, 不知香港有幾多%家庭有這收入, 有20%嗎? 不過要睇埋學費減免那部份, 據聞協恩頗generous but亦有家長為此學得幫人交學費,,但大家可參考下再同學校反映. 這幾年聖公會某些直資加得頗多學費,,會否問下學校能否保證某幾年內不加 &/or 加幅不高於inflation 等. 無諗住入ssg, 但路過比下意見.

聖公會某些直資 schools 加得頗多學費 every year which is a very heavy burden to mid-level parents..... For primary, the school fee is better be below/around $3000 per month.

YWPS is also a DSS, and school fees is only $1500 per month.
SSG is expecting $4000 per month which is more or less the same as DBS. They think they can be at same level as DBS?

Thank you for sharing.  I shared your view that the financial burden is not low even for middle class.
Regarding your last paragraph, the school only mentioned that there are 104 primary school places while there are only 60 kindergarten places, giving the parents an impression that the admission rate will be higher.  However, kindergarten principal mentioned that kg students has to go through interview for P1 admission and the selection criteria include academic performance in kg, SPECIAL TALENTS, xxxx and the last item on the slide is 'connection with the school'.  So, I just wonder if ssgc kg students can only get more marks in the LAST item 'connection with the school'. The principal does not mention that the items on her slide are listed in the order from most important to least important but usually the first few items are more important, right?

A parent in kindergarten session explicitly asked about the chance of promotion of the 2014 K1 students (just received offer a few weeks ago) to primary if the elder sister (also in ssgc kg now) are admitted to ssgc primary next week,  Under existing system, the younger daughter will be surely admitted in the discretionary stage if her elder sister is studying in ssgc primary.  However, the council told her that they are now looking after 60 students, not just one or two students (means minority with sibling in primary).  So, I can feel that there is no sibling priority.  

If other kg parents have different interpretation, please correct me.

校方用 affordable 去形容4萬元一年的學費，實在不太了解民間疾苦。

但係 DBS 只要是成績合格就可以原校直升，不需任何interview。One school, one family? 有人會去 interview 自己的家人去決定未來嗎?


成個咨詢會我只可以用虛偽去形容，老老實實，"要錢要人"的目的非常明顯。校方跟家長講金不講心，以後留得住精英學生的能力反而更差。現在津校無論中學小學的成績還不錯，轉直資不一定打得成如意算盤提升成績。

咁即係今年9月讀小一的是否來緊六年都不用交學費?定15/16年起要交學費?

熊貓BB

Yes, no need to pay for 2013/14 P1 for their entire primary school life but has to pay when reach form 1.

Fee required for 2015/2016 P1 and F1 onwards.

針無兩頭利。唔須要 list out personal expense details, 大家都知 $3.6-4.2萬一年係好重負擔。呢個價, 似讀私校多D。懷疑學校是否未扣除政府資助的金額? 是否應該降回至一般直資的收費至 $18-$22k/年就差不多 (包括通帳因素)

如果保留津貼類別, 免學費而限制了學校進行課程的改革, 其實我也不知道是否好事? 二者取其輕, 到底放棄課程改革? 或放棄全免學費?

我個人都覺得要付費去享受優質教育是可悲的事, 但政府既然已經迫使學校要二選一, 到底又可以如果面面俱圓?

Yeah, the newly suggested primary school fee is similar or even higher than those private primary schools.  For example, SC is $3160 for this term.

直資收費, 海鮮價得好緊要.. (info from http://www.chsc.hk/psp2012/psp_s ... &frmMode=search)

St Paul Co-ED $6xK, 林文燦/陸慶濤/真道/陳守仁/漢華/英華.. $1xK, 其他如 St Paul College, 優才, 王錦輝要$3xK, 當然也有$2xK 如港同, 培橋... 完全係無標準, 真係要多謝政府放寬直資收費水平~ @_@
