中大敬文學生會宣佈停運：重視自主性、拒獨立註冊憂承擔風險
The Students’ Union of C.W. Chu College at The Chinese University of Hong Kong issued an open letter recently, saying that since September 2023, the university administration had regarded student unions in their existing form as illegal organisations and required the student unions of each college to register with the Police as legal societies. C.W. Chu College had proposed that college student unions that did not register independently or merge into the governance structure could only suspend operations or go unrecognised. The C.W. Chu College Students’ Union said independent registration with the Police could require it to bear and face unprecedented risks and responsibilities. It ultimately rejected independent registration and announced that it would cease operations. The United College Students’ Union criticised the college administration for placing excessive emphasis on independent registration, saying this had caused actual harm to joint governance by staff and students.
香港中文大學敬文書院學生會日前發公開信，表示中大校方自2023年9月起，指現況下的學生會為非法組織，要求各書院學生會向警務處註冊為合法社團；敬文書院則提出方案，書院學生會若不獨立註冊或合併至管治架構，只能停運或不被承認。敬文學生會指，向警務處獨立註冊可能須承擔及面對前所未見的風險及責任，最終拒絕獨立註冊並宣佈停止運作。聯合書院學生會批評，院方過分執著於獨立註冊，已對員生共治造成實際傷害。

玫瑰崗停辦 ｜師生家長第三度發公開信 高中轉余二無原本選科 「學生感被遺棄」
Rosehill Secondary School in Wan Chai informed parents last Wednesday (the 17th) that all students would transfer to Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No. 2 (Yu II) this September. The school is implementing its closure two years earlier than planned, meaning senior secondary students who had been promised they could graduate at Rosehill in the 2025/26 school year must transfer. Several parents and staff spoke to the media in recent days and issued a third open letter seeking help. One parent said her senior secondary daughter was facing public examinations, but neither Rosehill’s elective subjects nor Yu II offered the courses she had chosen, raising doubts about how the curriculum would be aligned. A review of the information found that Yu II did not offer Business, Accounting and Financial Studies, Western History, Geography or Spanish, which were offered at Rosehill; it is understood that more than 40 students may be affected.
Another parent tearfully accused the school of “acting unilaterally”, saying her son, who is in Secondary 3, had helped film a video addressed to Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu. After the video was published and taken down, he came under considerable pressure. She said, “No one is paying attention to them; not even the Education Bureau or the Chief Executive has genuinely listened to their views.” Some students had been seriously affected emotionally, and the school had to hire additional social workers for support. The Collective asked the school how many senior secondary elective subjects were not offered at Yu II, how many students were involved, and how many students had sought help from social workers over the matter. The school replied that it “would not respond to matters relating to this issue”. The Education Bureau said the school would explain the details to parents at a later parents’ day, and that it had instructed the sponsoring body to provide assistance to teachers, students and parents, including making proper arrangements for elective subjects and monitoring students’ emotional wellbeing.
灣仔玫瑰崗中學上周三（17日）通知家長，指決定全體學生於今年 9 月轉校至余振強第二紀念中學（下稱余二），學校落實提早兩年停辦，原本獲承諾能於 25/26 年原校畢業的高中生須轉校。多名家長和教職員日前見傳媒，第三度發公開信求助。有家長指就讀高中的女兒面臨公開試，但其在玫瑰崗選修的課程、余二均未有開辦，對課程如何銜接存疑；翻查資料，余二並未開設玫瑰崗設有的「企會財」、西史、地理、西班牙文等選修科，據了解涉 40 多名學生或因而受影響。
另有家長哽咽控訴學校「一意孤行」，指就讀中三的兒子有份拍攝「致特首李家超」短片，片段發布和下架後承受很大壓力，「冇人關注佢哋，連教育局、特首都冇真真正正聽過佢哋意見」，有學生情緒大受影響、校方更須額外聘用社工支援。《集誌社》向校方查詢有多少高中選修科是余二未有開設、涉及多少名學生？多少學生因事件向社工求助等？校方回覆指「不會回應有關事宜」。教育局回覆指學校將在稍後的家長日向家長解釋細節，又指已責成辦學團體為師生家長提供協助，包括為選修科目作妥善安排、留意學生情緒等。

A concern group held a consultation session shortly before the Academic Senate meeting, but the university cancelled the venue booking on security grounds.

玫瑰崗中學意向調查降門檻「通過」全校轉余二 有家長批「搬龍門」
Rosaryhill School announced in September that it would cease operations after the 2025/26 academic year. Early last month, it proposed that all Secondary One to Secondary Five students transfer to Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No. 2 (Yu II) in the following school year, and subsequently conducted two rounds of opinion polling among students’ parents. In the second poll, it lowered the threshold for “passing” from more than half in support to a simple majority. The school’s transition committee announced on Thursday (the 21st) that the latest poll found the largest number of parents supported the proposal to transfer to Yu II. This means that all students will transfer to Yu II next year and the school will cease operations two years earlier than originally planned; senior secondary students who could originally have remained at the school until graduation will also have to transfer.
玫瑰崗中學9月宣布將於2025/26學年後停辦，上月初建議所有中一至中五學生下學年轉往余振強紀念第二中學（下稱余二）就讀，並先後兩次收集學生家長意向，其中在第二次調查時將「通過」門檻由過半支持降至簡單多數。該校過渡委員會周四（21日）公布，最新一次調查結果中，最多家長支持轉往余二方案，意味全體學生明年轉往余二就讀，學校將較原定提早兩年停辦，原本可留校讀至畢業的高中生亦須轉校。
