[edit] Format change

As part of an effort to prevent the deletion of this article at AfD, I have changed the format froma simple lsit to a template table used in similar schools pages (see for example Schools in Tamworth, New South Wales). It occurs to me that while I have explained this at the AfD entry I havent explained it here or sought consensus for it.

The changed format includes additional data about the schools, including their website and approximate enrolment. This is particularly useful for the primary schools, most of which don't have their own articles and therefore don't add much to this one. The article also features a short history section but it seems a bit general for a specific Geelong-based page and looks out of place. I would like to expand it to cover the history of Geelong schools specifically but this will depend on the available resources.

All this represents my views for this page only, of course. If anyone agrees, disagrees, agrees in part, whatever, I'd be interested in their opinions about what should be done as well or instead. Euryalus 10:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
