Does anyone know whether this place is connected to Haileybury and Imperial Service College? I've tried looking on the website, but there's nothing about history, and the only "contact" page is designed for parents to request information. --Phil | Talk 15:56, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Krishna Ravi went to Haileybury from years 1999-2004

I'm sure he/she did, but unless there's a remarkably good reason, it doesn't need to be reported here. --Phil | Talk 13:27, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Of course it's important you tard!

Who is Krishna Ravi?

He was a student that graduated in the class of 2004, as I did, if I'm not mistaken. Nothing much at all notable to say about him.gummAY 11:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to Haileybury in England

Haileybury is related to 'Haileybury and Imperial Service College', for the record. (http://www.haileybury.herts.sch.uk/)

They are the sister school to Scotch College

[edit] Sports captains

I think the list of sports captains is beyond the scope of an encyclopedic article, and should be left out of the article. Any opinions? Cnwb 23:20, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I think it is very appropriate and informative to include sport captains in the article. Any opinions?

Haileybury are no good at sport. Why would anyone want to know who their sports captains are? What is the point? Tier two school, too.

[edit] Senior Staff at Edrington

This information is really relevant only to those who attend Haileybury and not the wider community, and while it is somewhat useful I don't beleive that it should be included, and if it is then similar entries should be made to Newlands, Castlefield and Senior School. Any Opinions?

[edit] Sursum Corda

We can all see that this is common in the Xavier and Haileybury crests, however can someone please find a source to show haileybury "took" it from Xavier?

--- No, Sursum Corda is in common with Haileybury England's Coat of Arms. This negates the above comment.

Sorry for the ambiguous wording of my above remark. I made it after a stint of people kept readding a statement that Haileybury "stole" it from Xavier. I know well of its true origins :) --gummAY 01:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haileybury College and Haileybury Girls College

Just wanted an opinion as to whether the article should be renamed to Haileybury, Melbourne as the article incorporates both Haileybury College and Haileybury Girls College.

Sounds ok to me. --gummAY 13:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the page to Haileybury, Melbourne and while it sounds weird at first im sure the move is for the better. There are also links from Haileybury College, Melbourne and Haileybury Girls College Sendreplyfwd 09:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that the page has been moved back do Haileybury College, Melbourne. I must stress that Haileybury includes both Haileybury College and Haileybury Girls College. If the article title is Haileybury College, Melbourne then Haileybury has stressed that it must not contain information relating to the girls college. Sendreplyfwd 11:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Is there anything we can do to mitigate the amount of vandalism that this page is currently receiving ? -gummAY 02:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Senior School Leadership

I have verified the leadership positions and they are correct, there will be no changes except for the addition of girls leaders on February 2nd, I have also neatened the leadership section as it was looking more like a gossip column than an encyclopedia. 124.181.221.168 07:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Well check again... :P 203.214.105.94 15:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Meyv.

[edit] Senior Leadership Removed

I have removed the section on Senior School Leadership.

• The section was subject to constant vandalism.
• The information was unverifiable , except by original research.
• The people listed were not notable.
• The information was only of interest to a small group of people.

So there! I have attempted to be bold, and would appreciate feedback.

--gummAY 07:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, that is a vast improvement to the article. I agree with your summary, and would also add Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly to the list. Does anyone else agree that the Extra Curricular Program also needs some attention? -- zzuuzz^(talk) 11:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. Thinking about the original intention of the list, and the reason it's become so large, I suppose it was akin to saying something about how many different activities are available to students outside of the (also large) number of subjects offered. Should it be deleted outright, or replaced with a sentence or two: Haileybury offers students a wide range of sporting, musical and academic extra-curricular activities to participate, most included in tuition fees. Saturday sport is compulsory for all students ... Something else that could use attention is the third paragraph in the opening, but as it's late I'll leave that for another day. --gummAY 13:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
