Talk:Tauranga Boys' College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It should be mentioned that the 3rd in line to the Ngati Awa chieftainship attended here, with emphasis on the fact that he was recognised for being the first native and youngest to take office of council (for which he attained national recognition, especially amoungst his tribal area) , thereby breaking the schools culture of racially descriminant tendancies. so ill make the addidion.

The first paragraph seems like its an opinion, its not worded very well RandomGuy7 10:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

To me it looks like an advertisement. A lot of these are the kind of cliché images all schools want to be associated with. They don't really tell anything about Tauranga Boys' College, so I'll remove them. Shinobu 21:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

And someone needs to check whether it's really run on a traditionalistic basis and fix my crappy wording if it is. Shinobu 21:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

It is fairly traditional, but certainly not unique amongst single sex schools and even some of the older (now co-ed) privates. I'va amended it accordingly Ham21 22:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

There is no aspect of the education provided there that is traditional. Just a generic school. A little bit of Christian propaganda thrown in, coupled with a touching of Maori culture. --TheEmulatorGuy 03:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names of prefects, etc.

This list is the majority of the page, so I'll comment here. I don;t think anyone will disagree with me removing this info. Deleted names can be seen in History, unless someone higher up the chain deletes the history as well. Mr Bluefin 06:38, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You need to cite a source for this. I can find no mention of it in a Google search. If this makes the school nationally renowned, then it must have appeared in a reputable publication. Please don't readd it without a citation.-gadfium 07:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
