Talk:Koonung Secondary College

Reckless editing?

Looking at recent edits to this article, it seems that much relevant information has been removed, questionable information left, and slightly irrelevant information added. Whilst detail in some areas was probably not necessary, surely it would've been better to remove that detail or split the article up with more headings or something, rather than remove large blocks of interesting and relevant information. Summary information was also removed, by the looks of it.

Additionally, what appeared to be a NPOV complaint was noted at the bottom of the page, and not in the correct format. There was no discussion started, but I applied a correct template anyway so that should someone actually decide to open discussion on the subject, they may. :)

I have to ask that any future major changes - and a possible overall improvement to the article - be discussed here.

Two new paragraphs, to replace removed info

Here are my suggestions to replace some removed information. They're more concise.

• In the introduction: The school aims to achieve excellence in all aspects, and to keep a respectable pulic image.
• In the uniform section: A "three strikes" system applies for uniform enforcement. This has proven somewhat effective in improving compliance.

Additionally, I believe the following sections should be restored with minor editing for brievity:

• Buildings
• The college is situated on a single campus.... (perhaps to be combined with the buildings section, into the existing facilities section).

If there're no arguments to that in the next week or so, I'll go ahead and add those.

POV debate

Is there still a POV debate going on? Why is the tag still there when noone commented on this page for more than a year now? Ubardak (talk) 02:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Updates

I updated some of the dates and fixed a few grammatical errors. I also updated the most recent musical from "Urinetown" to "Fame".
