What I will be adding to the article could be for example

• more statistics
• info box
• photo

As this page is one of my current projects, I will sooner or later come back to it, so don't delete it!!! Habemus pampam 04:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I send an email to the college asking them for information they would like to offer for publishing.Habemus pampam

Unfortunately, Avondale College has refused to send up-to-date statistics of student account etc. Habemus pampam 06:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I've added a lot of information (mainly stuff from the ERO review) and rewritten some of your stuff, Habemus pampam. "Lewis became principal in 2001 after the resignation and subsequent death of Phil Raffills due to leukemia" - if anyone can phrase this more sensitively, please do so. If anyone can add more details about the 1990 fire (it's before my time!), more Notable Alumni (feel free to change that heading too!) and maybe a section on controversy caused by the school, that would also be much appreciated.

[edit] Cleanup

I've been through the whole article and done quite alot of pruning. There were some very highly POV statement that made it sound like a glowing advertisement for the school (which it shouldn't be). I've removed alot of these, rewritten and just generally cleaned up. Agree that more detail is needed on the 1990 fire. Goldfinger820 (talk) 00:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
