一些就读于新州精英私校的学生可能在高考中受到“特别”照顾,这一比例可能高达30%。

相比去年,今年申请考试特别许可的比例提高了10%;而新州公立学校的申请数量今年为6.57%。

对于私校学生申请考试特别许可的情况特别高,新州绿党议员John Kaye认为,这显示了一些经济条件较好的私校“钻”了新州教育体系的空档。新州教育委员会的一名发言人称每一个特别许可申请书都经过仔细审核。在随机抽查的45所学校中,一半左右的学校相比去年都减少了申请数量。

一些受到特别照顾的学校包括:Masada College in St Ives, St Catherine's School, Waverley; Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Middle Cove and Meriden School in Strathfield.




Private schools accused of rorting HSC  

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/private-schools-accused-of-rorting-hsc/2008/12/28/1230399045680.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

UP TO 30 per cent of students at some elite private schools were given "special consideration" in this year's Higher School Certificate exams, raising questions about whether they gained an unfair advantage.

The NSW Board of Studies granted dispensations such as extra time to complete exams, coloured paper, large print and Braille or assistance with handwriting. The claims ranged from students with disabilities and illnesses such as diabetes, to those with unreadable handwriting and sweaty palms.

The proportion of students claiming special exam provisions this year jumped by more than 10 percentage points compared with the previous three years at schools including Masada College in St Ives, St Catherine's School, Waverley; Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Middle Cove and Meriden School in Strathfield.

The Scots College in Bellevue Hill claimed special provisions for 24.54 per cent of its students, an 8.64 percentage point increase on its average of 15.9 per cent for 2005 to 2007.

The statewide average for NSW public schools has grown from 6.35 per cent to 6.57 per cent over the same period.

In May, the Herald reported that the eastern suburbs private school Reddam House won special consideration for 36 per cent of its HSC students in 2006 - almost six times the state average. This year, the school claimed dispensations for 21.7 per cent of its students.

Masada College claimed the highest proportion of special provisions with 29.5 per cent.

The figures were provided in response to a question by the Greens MP John Kaye, who said they raised questions about "rorting" of the Board of Studies' special assistance provisions.

This year 25 of the state's private schools had claimed special provisions at a rate that was more than twice the average claimed by public schools.

"Special exam provisions are an important mechanism to remove some of the barriers faced by HSC students with special needs," Dr Kaye said.

"However, the figures show that the number of wealthy private schools that are potentially rorting the system is growing.

"It is hard to believe that the proportion of HSC students genuinely deserving special provisions at 25 of the state's wealthiest private schools is more than twice the statewide average.

"Almost a quarter of Scots College's 160 HSC candidates received a special deal in this year's HSC, which cannot be explained as a statistical anomaly."


A spokeswoman for the Board of Studies said each application for special examination provisions was judged rigorously, and numbers fluctuated year to year. She said that from a sample of 45 schools the board analysed from this year's HSC, about half had fewer special exam provisions granted than they had last year. "Special examination provisions are designed to provide access to the exam for students with a disability so they can demonstrate what they know and can do."

The Herald tried to contact some of the heads of schools mentioned in this article, but the calls were not returned.

In May the principal of Masada College, Wendy Barel, told the Herald she was surprised by the figures for 2005-07.

"We just fulfil the requirements set out by the Board of Studies - occupational therapy, doctors' certificates and so on - and send in the applications. It's up to the board to assess them," Ms Barel said.

The principal of Reddam House, Graeme Crawford, said in May that teachers at the school worked closely with individual students and were well placed to identify any potential need for them to apply for special consideration.

"The teachers become very fine-tuned to any disability that may hinder a child's performance," he said. "We have a small cohort which drives up the percentage of special provisions."

Mr Crawford said applications covered illness, injuries and writing difficulties.

他们只是没好意思说,私立学校的成绩都scale up比公立学校厉害。至少维州这里是这样的。学校越好,加分的越厉害。加分的衡量方法就是那个general什么的test.

Minister to rethink HSC special provisions


January 1, 2009   Sydney Morning Hearld

THE NSW Minister for Education will meet high school principals and the Board of Studies in the new year to consider reviewing contentious special provisions for Higher School Certificate students.

The Herald has highlighted a disproportionate number of students from elite private schools granted "special consideration" in HSC examinations, raising questions about whether they have gained an unfair advantage.

Up to 30 per cent of students at some private schools were given special provisions in this year's HSC, compared with an average 6.6 per cent of public high school students.

Dispensations include extra hours to complete exams and scribes for students with disabilities and illnesses that can range from diabetes to chronic fatigue, stress and sweaty palms.

The Education Minister, Verity Firth, will meet the Secondary Principals' Council and Board of Studies general manager, John Bennett, soon to discuss the principals' call for a review.

"Ultimately what we care about most is ensuring access and equity for all NSW students sitting their Higher School Certificate examinations," a spokesman for Ms Firth said.

The president of the principals' group, Jim McAlpine, has asked for a fairer system of granting special provisions that are often awarded on the basis of medical certificates.

"I think it's probably timely for the board to review the whole area of special provisions to ensure it is being used fairly across the state," Mr McAlpine said.

"There needs to be more consistency in the advice given by the medical practitioners so that it doesn't depend on which doctor a student goes to see as to what the recommendation should be for that particular condition."

HSC examination supervisors who contacted the Herald have complained of students being granted up to three extra hours to complete an exam.

Despite the extra time being granted for rest breaks, at least one student used the time to continue writing.

"There is a lot of confusion about what the extra time can be used for," one supervisor said on the condition of anonymity. "I'm all for students with disabilities being given extra time to rest, but it is not fair on the other students if they are allowed to use that time to write."

Parents and students have also contacted the Herald to complain about students who do not sit exams as a result of illness being awarded top marks based on school assessment.

A spokeswoman for the Board of Studies said procedures were in place for dealing with applications for special examination provisions in compliance with the Commonwealth and NSW disability discrimination acts.

The board provides exam supervisors with instructions on the administration of special examination provisions for each student.

"There is rigorous assessment of each application by a panel of experts, including medical specialists, a school principal, educational psychologists, an expert in vision impairment and an expert in hearing impairment," the spokeswoman said.

"Senior board officers review the recommendations to ensure consistency across the state."

Board of studies从来不是什么好货色,明着暗着偏袒不是新闻了
今年James Ruse的maths ext1考试多给了15分钟,后来被投诉的电话打爆了,在网站上面贴了张骗人的告示,后来被smh揭发了,他们就把告示拿下来了,结果依然是不了了之
他们还会偏袒下去的

对,灯熄了,但几秒后就恢复了部分的电力,学生依然可以答题(这是James Ruse的学生说的)
随后board of studies出示的公告中说学生被要求停笔15分钟,最后得到了15分钟的延时,完全是瞎掰!James Ruse的学生根本没有停过笔
同一个电网的其他学校也都经受了影响,但只有一个(还是两个)学校获得了2分钟的延时,其他的学校都没有
15分钟在120分钟的考试中占了1/8,在满分84分的情况下,相当于多得了10.4分
从结果上来看,James Ruse在这场考试中得到了全省并列第一,这是好几年都没有的呀
