玫瑰崗中學家長不滿當局不作為 教育局：已順利解決、按部就班推展
Rosehill School was originally due to close after the 2025/26 school year after its sponsoring body, the Dominican Order, gave up operating the school. It was subsequently decided that all students would transfer to Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No. 2 this September, meaning that senior secondary students who had originally been allowed to remain at the school until graduation would also have to transfer. A Legislative Council member and parents held a grievance meeting yesterday (28th). The elder brother of a Secondary 5 student criticised the school’s chaotic arrangements, saying they had seriously affected his sister’s mood as she prepared for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination. Some parents also criticised the Education Bureau for inaction and for never contacting them, saying, “They really don’t care about the students!” Tik Chi-yuen of Third Side criticised the school’s unprofessional handling of the matter and urged the Education Bureau and the school to discuss allowing senior secondary students to remain at their original school for two more years. He also said he would complain to The Ombudsman about the Education Bureau’s mishandling of the matter and ask the bureau to explain why it had failed to safeguard the interests of students and parents. The Education Bureau said it had maintained communication with all parties and provided assistance, adding: “Through the efforts of various parties, the relevant arrangements for the school’s closure have been gradually and smoothly resolved, and are proceeding in an orderly manner.”
玫瑰崗中學因辦學團體道明會放棄辦學，原定2025/26學年後停辦，惟其後改為所有學生須於今年9月轉往余振強紀念第二中學就讀，原本可留校讀至畢業的高中生亦須轉校。有立法會議員與家長昨（28日）召申訴大會，有中五生兄長批校方安排混亂，嚴重影響妹妹備戰文憑試心情；亦有家長不滿教育局不作為、沒有接觸過家長，批「佢哋真係唔在乎學生！」新思維狄志遠批評校方處理不專業，促請教育局與校方商量，讓高中生能於原校就讀多兩年；他亦表示會向申訴專員公署投訴教育局處理失當，要求局方解釋為何在事件上沒有維護學生及家長利益。教育局則表示，一直與各方保持溝通及提供協助，「經過多方的努力，相關的停辦事宜已逐步順利解決，並按部就班推展。」

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。

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。
