Private pupils sent to cheaper or state schools

SOME expensive private schools are losing students to state secondary colleges as the economic crisis starts to bite.

Cash-strapped parents are pulling their children out of the private system or transferring them to cheaper independent schools.

As revealed in the Herald Sun six weeks ago, private school fees will rise by up to 15 per cent next year, some charging more than $20,000 a year for a year 12 student.

Elida Brereton, principal of top state school Camberwell High, confirmed yesterday that the economic crisis was affecting families.

"In the past few weeks we've had three families approach us that have never been in the state system," she said.

"They can't afford to keep their children going in the private system."

It is believed that Mt Waverley Secondary College has also been inundated with applications from parents of students who would normally go to private schools.

One of the leading private boys' schools, Trinity Grammar, has no waiting list for prep students in 2009, the first time this has happened for years.

Deputy principal Rohan Brown said that higher fees, mainly due to rising teacher salaries, had caused some parents to review how long their children could stay in the private system.

"Instead of six years, some families may choose four, and instead of 13 years they may go for nine," he said.

"We don't know whether this is a one-year glitch or whether it's a pattern.

"But it has been very hard to get into the school over the past five years at all levels."

Kilvington Girls' Grammar principal Jon Charlton said he had received inquiries from parents looking to swap private schools.

"Parents were finding it difficult to pay the extra thousands at a neighbouring school and were quite interested in enrolling their daughters here because the fees were seen as more reasonable," he said.

Generally, private schools are reporting strong enrolments, although they believe the situation could change over the next year.

Jo Wilson, from elite girls' school Strathcona, said enrolments were holding up.

"I think people put their children's education as a high priority on their list, so they will probably go without other things to continue their education," she said.

Scotch College director of admissions Chris Commons said the school was fully booked for next year and had solid waiting lists.

"We're certainly sensitive to the issue that some families are suffering . . . but from the school's point of view there's been no impact that I'm conscious of," he said.

是，我LD的公司有个同事的女儿在PLC读书，Year 5，她告诉我们一年的实际大概是22000刀左右。

除了朱爸列出的学费外，一年全加上还另外需要多少啊？有私校的家长给说个大概数，这样俺也有个概念。

meibu

朱爸已经答了，YEAR 5就要22000

澳洲桉树

最新的统计数据推翻了太阳先驱报去年底的报道，维州入读私校的学生数量大幅上升了4000余名，反而公立学校入学人数在过去的12个月中减少了1300名。

总体人数上，公立学校拥有536,800名学生，教会学校吸纳了188,500名，独立私校招来120,000名。

维州家长协会对这样的趋势表示担忧，希望等联邦政府兑现早前承诺的在教育系统中投资150亿时，维州的公立学校能够赚会一些声誉。


State enrolments fall

PRIVATE school enrolments in Victoria are on the rise despite the economic downturn, the latest data shows.

But state school student numbers fell by more than 1300 over the last year.

Parents Victoria spokeswoman Elaine Crowle said yesterday the drift from government schools was a worry, but the $14.7 billion education investment promised by the Federal Government could turn the situation around.

"Once that money gets into schools there will be a lot of new facilities," she said.

The new enrolment figures were revealed as Australian education ministers yesterday confirmed that parents would soon be able to compare school performances online.

A website detailing school results, staff data, financial resources and rolls will be available later this year.

The number of private school students in Victoria jumped by more than 4000 in the year to February, according to preliminary Education Department data.

Catholic school enrolments reached 188,500, and independent school student numbers grew by 2 per cent to 120,000.

State school numbers fell by 1300 to 536,800.

The trend is defying predictions that the economic crisis is forcing many parents to take their children out of the private system.

Association of Independent Schools of Victoria chief executive Michelle Green said the figures confirmed that parents still valued the education provided by its schools.

"Independent schools in Victoria have continued to attract students despite, on average, only receiving a fraction of the funding available to government schools," she said.

But Ms Crowle, whose organisation represents government school parents, said people should not assume that public education was inferior: "People need to make decisions based on what's on offer and not make presumptions."

Government school parents potentially had more time to spend with their children, as they weren't taking second jobs and working long hours to pay school fees, she said.

Cameron Scott, spokesman for state Education Minister Bronwyn Pike, said the State Government was rebuilding confidence in the education system by delivering the biggest school building program in Victoria's history.

Federal Education Minister Julia Gillard said the Government would lift teaching standards and enable parents to compare school performances through the new website.
"They'll be able to look at schools in their local area and be able to easily compare," she said.

惊奇地发现悉尼的PLC叫Pymble Ladies' College；墨尔本的PLC叫Presbyterian Ladies' College.

共同点是两所学校都是名校，都是女校，都是超级贵的学校。

jialiren

悉尼的PLC和 墨尔本的PLC 是否也是连锁的姐妹学校？
墨尔本的PLC 也是收费最贵的一女校。

从一炷香版的最新新闻中来看，
1.  看来孩子的教育费，就算是金融危机，有的父母还是舍不得削减。
2.  或许是金融危机还没有真正的影响到澳洲人。
3.  澳洲有钱人还是多啊。

PLC 去年的VCE 排名是女子私校第一

这个看名字来说，悉尼是地理位置取名的；墨尔本是教会学校起源，相比之下MLC就逊色多了。生女儿真好啊，有这么多好学校令人向往。我认识一家3姐妹都在墨尔本PLC读书，一年不吃不喝，花在学费和活动上的钱就$80k。

澳洲好像是女校多过男校， 不知道为啥？ 难道澳洲是男女比例不对称？  女孩多于男孩？

上海的国际学校，生源流失也很严重。某校编制22人的Y1班，中午午休时我数了3个班，都只有13人左右。BTW, 学费比澳洲最贵的私校还贵一倍
