It is said in this article that Dart and WIGAN used to be one house. This is true, But they fail to bring up the fact that they were separate houses before amalgamation. This was due to boarding numbers declining in the mid to late 90's.
[edit] Rewrite needed?
As it stands, the article is heavy on notes about house rivalry and sporting achievements. Isn't there somebody familiar with the school who can rewrite it so that it gives a more complete picture? (I'm not sure that details of how often Butler-Krome won the swimming belong here.)
[edit] Notable alumni
I've added some of these, but I'm aware that they are all Old Boys, sorry. Can someone now add some women from Queen's and beyond? Lyn50 10:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Culture
It is Well known fact that Ballarat Grammar pupils (namely those of the pretentious female persuasion) try to emulate the status of the more well known APS Schools Such as Geelong Grammar or Schotch College and to a lesser Extent Melbourne Grammar (know as the big 3 APS schools). This act of self-aggrandisement comes about because some of the girls happen to know boys from ballarat that went to these schools, and thus fell a state of self deprevation that they were not as honoured as us who attended such institutions. So to compensate for their perceived short commings they pretnd to be like the sort of girls that attend MGGS or the like. When reality they are just base little girls with no focus on life and no prospects but to marry one of these boys and live a life of intolerable emptiness that will ultimatly be fuled by a mix of recreational drugs, antidepressants, booze and promiscuous sex.
