维州拟建两所新的公立精英中学
据2008年4月2日《Herald Sun》报道，维州政府将在东西部远郊Berwick和Wyndham Vale各建一所男女生混校政府精英中学，预计将于2010年开始招收九年级高中新生入学就读。东部的Berwick精英中学将设在Monash大学 Berwick分校内；西部的Wyndham Vale精英中学则建在Manor Lakes Blvd，距离Werribee火车站7公里左右。
目前维州仅有两所政府精英中学，分别是MacRobertson女校和Melbourne High男校，其学生在每年的维州VCE高考中成绩位居最前列。此外，还有36所公立学校设有精英班。政府已经计划设立更多的专长精英学校，比如 Monash大学Clayton分校内的John Monash数学与科学精英学校以及西区的Maribyrnong体育学校。
目前就读七年级的学生都有资格参加明年举行的这些精英中学入学选拔考试。
此外，维州政府也计划改变公立学校学生就读精英中学的比率，目前这一比率是3%，未来可能会提高至5%。
More smart schools for Victoria

VICTORIA'S first co-ed selective state schools for gifted children will open in outer growth suburbs Berwick and Wyndham Vale in 2010.
Premier John Brumby and Education Minister Bronwyn Pike yesterday announced the location of the two year 9-12 schools, which will give bright students from boom areas the opportunity for an advanced education.
The 1200-pupil Berwick school, in Melbourne's outer east, will be located at a Monash University campus.
The 800-student Wyndham Vale school, in Melbourne's outer west, will be built in Manor Lakes Blvd. It will have a partnership with Melbourne University.
The schools, which will be named next year, will ease demand on the state's existing select-entry schools, MacRobertson Girls High and boys school Melbourne High, which were Victoria's top VCE performers last year.
The new academically selective schools will open at the beginning of 2010, with 200 year 9 students each.
Current year 7 students will be eligible to sit entrance tests next year.
Mr Brumby said the university links would ensure students received the highest standard of education.
"These partnerships will allow highly able students to work on joint research projects, attend special classes and lectures, and share facilities with a tertiary institution," he said.
"There will also be exciting opportunities for staff from the universities and schools to work together."
The Berwick school will be built next to a train station, but the Wyndham Vale site is more than 7km from the nearest station.
It is believed the school will run buses to and from Werribee station.
The Government originally earmarked one of the schools for North Melbourne. Alternative plans are being considered for that site.
The proportion of students from other public or private schools will be capped at 5 per cent, to ensure they don't lose all their brightest students.
Beaconsfield mum Victoria Poulos said the Berwick school was great for the area.
Ms Poulos has two children, Isabelle, 9, and Brigitta, 7, who are home-schooled.
"I had to pull them out of school because it couldn't meet their needs, but this school will certainly give parents more options.
"I know families who have sold their homes and left for the city so their kids could go to a good school." |
