学校上报了，希望从2015入学年开始。
Class by Local Selection Over the last few weeks I have received 13 emails of support for the proposal from staff, with no negative assessments. There was a concern about how this action would affect local comprehensive school enrolments. My argument is that The P & C discussed and ratified the ‘Class by Local Selection’ proposal with 15 votes for and 4 abstentions. By email I had 5 messages of support. I received one letter from a student, Nelson Tang, opposing the proposal on the grounds of equity. He represented the views of around fifty Facebook friends. His main argument was that everyone, wherever they are in Sydney, should have an opportunity to access one of our 180 places in Year 7 by means of an open and fair competition in the SSET test. The counter argument is that politicians have opened up a large number of extra places in NSW schools over the last 5 or 6 years that were not there before. The availability of selective school places has become a political rather than an equity issue. He was also opposed to positive discrimination on the basis of where you reside, meaning people with the means to live near High were advantaged over those who could not afford to live in the area. This view is opposed by the notion that local communities need access to local schools. The population around High is growing rapidly but public education opportunities are static. Given that 30 possible places for local area students won’t do much to fix the problem, at least it is a first step. Another high school in the area is the long term solution for a growing population of inner city dwellers.These issues were canvassed at the School Council Meeting, also held this week. The School Council unanimously supported the Proposal. The main benefits to High of having greater than the existing c10% of its students living ‘locally’ are that more students (and their parents) may have more time to engage in the activities of the school. High has now developed an impressive infrastructure of facilities, resources, personnel and programs to
accommodate 1,000 boys doing many activities. We produce all-rounders and we want to attract more all-rounders, or those who want to develop as all-rounders, to the school.
As a consequence of this level of support I have written to the Director of Business Services requesting implementation of the proposal for the Year 7 intake of 2015.
