在早些的报道里说,家长们强烈反对这项拆散Hurstville Public的计划,由此参加学校P&C的家长人数激增了3倍之多,家长们都要在P&C里发言反对这项计划。
教育部计划把Hurstville Public小学5年级和6年级的学生移到Georges River College Hurstville Boys Campus,这个男子中学的前身是Hurstville Boys High School。
家长们说,政府应该给Hurstville Public School单独投资来进行基建扩大小学的规模,而不是把小学分隔成两个部分。
而教育部则说,要最大可能的利用现有的公共教育资源而避免牺牲学校的户外活动空间。
Hurstville Public School move angers parents

PARENTS who have questioned the Department of Education's plan to divide students at Hurstville Public School fear concerns about their children's well-being have been ignored.
The department wants to relocate year 5 and 6 students from the primary school, to Georges River College Hurstville Boys Campus (formerly Hurstville Boys High).
It hopes the move will ease the strain the overcrowded primary school faces from high enrolments.
The department has planned a $14 million upgrade of underused facilities at the high school.
From 2012, the primary school students will attend the redeveloped site, which will have its own entrance, and barriers will provide separation from the college campus.
But many parents said they feared the shift would lead to a breakdown in student relationships or bullying.
Hurstville Public's Parents & Citizens committee said its school would benefit from greater funding for more infrastructure.
"Our school has grown enormously in the past 10 years,'' P&C building sub-committee chairman Jason Yeo said.
"We have continued to campaign for new classrooms to cater for the expansion,'' Mr Yeo said.
Since parents were informed about the proposal in May this year, Mr Yeo said the school's P&C membership had tripled.
"That is an indication of the concern felt by the parent community,'' he said.
Xuemei Alexander, a parent, said the move was not a long-term solution.
Emily Goon, a parent, said the school should remain ``a single unit''.
"Our school has been increasing and that's a good thing. It means it has a good reputation,'' she said.
"There may not be a big age gap between primary and high school students but their maturity levels are different.''
A department spokesman said the redevelopment of the college campus made ``best use of existing public facilities and avoided reducing playground space at the school''.
He said the department would continue to work with parents to address operational concerns.
What do you think about the move? |
