Talk:List of Government schools in New South Wales

I have devised a table that lists the school's name, the suburb or town where the school is located, the grades that it teaches and a link to the school's website. I feel that this is better than just listing the school's name. So far I have used it on the schools beginning with Y and Z.

As can be seen, most of the government schools are named "suburb (or town) name Public/High School", with the suburb or town name being where the school is located. So in most cases the table will read "Suburb Public School | Suburb", however not all schools names contain where they are located eg, Fort Street High School, this is where the location is valuable. The school years are important as not all government high schools are the traditional 7-12 high school. Finally, the website. As most of the schools listed here, especially the primary schools, will never become an article (at least not in the immediate future), a link to their website I feel is satisfactory.

In doing this I have removed the year the school was established. If there is a consensus that the year the school was founded should be included then I'm happy to concede. However, this information can be difficult to attain.

At the moment, this lists only the government schools. I'm compiling a list of all the non-government schools in my sandbox, using this table form. The table form is needed especially for the non-government school due to a range of different grades taught and only a very low percent contain their location within their name.

Looks great to me. Now if only we had it for Victoria. Although I do like the inclusion of the founding year - I think it is useful, if it can be found. Ambi 06:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Anyone notice how there are a few non-government schools on this list eg. St Pius X Soundabuser 01:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
