I added the POV tag because this article sounds as if it was written by the school's administration to try and encourage potential students to go there. For example, the article states, "This is a genuine alternative to a selective high school for your child" which is POV. "The school's motto: "honor super omnia" (honour above all) reflects the school's commitment to high standards of learning and teaching, strong values and quality education." sounds a little POV too, in my opinion. Also, "We believe that:

• All students can learn and be successful
• establishing high expectations is essential
• we need to set explicit and attainable targets for our students
• learning needs to be supported by a friendly, safe and caring environment
• classroom practice is student centred and engages all students in learning" ought to be rewritten into a NPOV paragraph. Sue H. Ping 21:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] section headings

Hi, I renamed the section headings in accordance with WP:MSH. Please keep the list as "Notable alumni", Notable is well defined by WP:N but "famous" can mean anything.Garrie 22:49, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
