Nomination Rights Scheme

Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong (the "School") is a private primary school that receives no regular funding or grants from the Government of Hong Kong. In order to meet the capital expenditure for the long-term maintenance and continued improvement of the School, WA Education Group Limited (the "Issuer") may from time to time issue Nomination Rights upon such Term & Conditions as determined by the Issuer.

 

Hong Kong private school costs can vary depending on the type and level of education, as well as the availability of nomination rights. Nominations rights are a form of capital contribution that grant priority admission to the school. Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong offers two types of nominations rights: 

Corporate Nomination Right (CNR)

  • A CNR is issued to a company incorporated in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance (Cap.622) or such other jurisdiction as may be acceptable to the Issuer.
  • No CNR may be transferred prior to the completion of one year after the date of issuance of the CNR.
  • The Registered holder of a CNR may nominate a child of its director or employee to the School at any one time to any year of the School, but such nomination does not guarantee the admission of the nominated child to the School.

Individual Nomination Right (INR)

  • An INR is issued to an individual.
  • No INR may be transferred prior to the completion of one year after the date of issuance of the INR.
  • A registered holder of an INR may nominate a child to the School at any one time to any year of the School, but such nomination does not guarantee the admission of the nominated child to School.
The Issuer is now issuing a total of 40 Nomination Rights (include both CNRs and INRs). The Issuer may at any time, without prior notice, issue further Nomination Rights, notes, or other instruments of similar or other nature with such rights as may be determined by the Issuer and upon such Terms & Conditions as the Issuer may, at its absolute discretion, think fit.

 

A child does not need to be nominated under a Nomination Right in order to apply for admission to the School. However, a child nominated under a Nomination Right will receive priority in accordance with the School's admission policy which may be changed. 

The following is the current priority order for the admission of applicants to the School.

Please note that all applicants are required to satisfy the School's admission criteria. The Nomination Rights (whether corporate or individual) do not guarantee the admission of applicants.
Priority Type of Applicants
1 Nominated children under Corporate Nomination Rights
2 Nominated children under Individual Nomination Rights
3 Siblings of current students who are nominated under either Corporate or Individual Rights
4 Siblings of current students already enrolled at the school who are not nominated under Individual Rights
5 Other applicants
A Nomination Right may only be transferred with the prior approval of the Issuer and in accordance with the terms set out in the Nomination Right Terms & Conditions, subject to the payment of a transfer fee and administrative fee.

School Fees and Capital Levy

The child nominated under Nomination Right will be required to pay all normal school fees and charges payable in respect of any student attending the School, save that the child nominated under Nomination Right is exempted from paying the Capital Levy.
