[edit] Pics

Is it OK for Wikipedia to show images of children without their consent? I know parents probably signed a release for these images to be placed on the school's website, but that release probably doesn't cover Wikipedia. New laws were recently introduced by the Victorian Bracks government to ban this sort of stuff involving Victorian kids, but Wikipedia is subject to different laws I think.

I do some of the productions and i normally take pictures i would be happy for any of my pictures to be used on wikipedia MGH Pics Hughesie89 11:05, May 15, 2007 (UTC)

The Victorian Government especially does not have control over Wikipedia nor the internet, nor the images Carey decides to use for promotional material and/or imagery on their website. I also do do not understand how showing pictures of students in the performing arts and sport could be seen as 'gimmicky' or to be seen as being not a NPOV - even the shot of the interior of the Millikan Building is hard to beleive as not being a NPOV. And also your well done Caulfield Grammar article shows face pics of students. I personally think this article should at least receive the benefit of the doubt of which it deserves. I apologise for not doing the picture labelling stuff correctly. I appreciate the contribution and your advice as well. However with the pics being labbelled as gimmicky and not being a NPOV by you, I am not entirely too sure it is correct. I hope this isn't silly APS envy because as we both know our schools directly compete as they have similar attributes and I know you are proud of Caulfield. However I truely hope that rediculousness doesn't come into the scene. Noiretblanc29 10:57, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

This has been extensively discussed at the administrator's noticeboard. The consensus was that the images were unencyclopedic and weeren't needed. I would be happy to see articles of the school stay (especially ones not from the school website), but promo pics aren't needed. Harro5 21:32, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Air-Photo

I think that the Air-Photo is fairly old - the Millikan building isn't included. Is there anything better we can use? Lochok 09:37, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] House System

You really think the House System shouldn't be mentioned Harro5? As a current student, I know that it is greatly more important then many schools (at least from whom I know in Victoria) have. It is for this reason particularly notable - and it still is NPOV. It is also a major part of the history of the school, with reference to the older days of bording and uni-sexism. Just my 2 centrs...

Lochok 02:16, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • The section you added was basically a list of house names and colours - adds nothing to the article - and what they do, compete. Every school I know in Melbourne has this. The other stuff you mention here that makes it notable was not included at all in the article. House systems at schools are inherently not notable, and unless something at Carey is especially different, this section - as I noted - is not interesting or relevant to an otherwise good piece. Harro5 06:35, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah - understood. My apologies Lochok 07:34, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

The House information is a great thing to have on a wiki page it gives more information into the school

[edit] History

I removed the out of date statistic "In 2005 the student population of girls will reach 44%." - if anyone can replace it, coolio. • Leon 04:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

The list of Notable Alumni seems to be getting fairly long. It is arguable how a lawyer could be notable alumini. Do we need to start culling of just let it grow or put a limit on it? Lochok 22:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hear the voice

i have altered this article because its popularity doesnt impact upon the need to now about it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Warrandyte4eva (talk • contribs) 05:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Removed Sections

I have removed certain parts that I felt didn’t add to the overall article. Namely the caddie program & hear the voice sections. They were very poorly written and contained advertising (hear the voice email/website address). If anyone feels these should be re-added, feel free to rewrite them in a way that is comprehendible and post it here for review. 124.190.91.136 12:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


202.134.33.92 04:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)Agreed, It adds nothing to the overall article, it also has little impact on school itself, so therefore I consider it irrelevant, 20/08/07

I also second that. Bad grammar, lots of 'we' and definatately not neutral. Genericguy 11:48, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Best of all would be to leave editing of the entry to the person authorised to do so. It is damaging for an educational organisation to have published in its name material that is grammatically incorrect and full of typos. Christina Mowle 04:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alumni Section

I have slightly changed the alumni section, removing one of the 'titles' attached to Steve Vizard's name. The title in question (inside trader) is inappropriate as all the other titles that everyother alumni has - are jobs/careers, correct me if I'm wrong, but inside trader isn't typically a career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.112.200 (talk) 07:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
The result was merge into Carey Baptist Grammar School. -- Loopla (talk) 12:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I have proposed a merger of Carey Sports Complex into this article. The Carey Sports Complex, in my opinion, is not notable enough to warrant its own article, and as the Carey Baptist Grammar School article has only limited coverage of the school's campuses/facilities, it would best included here. Loopla (talk) 20:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Support Merge This sports complex is completely non-notable, and does not deserve an article in its own right. A similar AfD exists here, which related to a school oval, which had hosted first-class cricket games, the sports complex in question only hosted training for Rugby. Five Years 08:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Complete support. I would just copy this material into its own heading for this article and delete the other. No one will search for an article about the sports complex. Harro5 08:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
