[edit] Westminster School

Hi there. I edited some of your changes today as they were not written from a neutral point of view. Indeed, using the word "our" in one of the paras was a clear give away that the comments were coming directly from the school (as was the comment on one of your edits that it was directed by the principal!). I'd encourage you to read through the Five pillars of Wikipedia. In particular, as well as being from a neutral point of view, Wikipedia content should be encyclopaedic, so it should contain material that is notable and not pertaining to most other schools. Thus general statements that would be found in advertising material for most schools shouldn't be included. Hope this helps! Murtoa 01:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Nathan, I'd be interested in your source for stating "God Be in my Head" is the school prayer, and not the school hymn. In my time at Westminster (61-72)I'd always thought of it as 'the school hymn'. I certainly never remember reciting the hymn as a prayer, it was only ever sung (usually badly, no surprises there ). In fact, Duncan McKie, who preceeeded DJ as music master actually re wrote the music to try and beef it up. This didn't work either, but I can still remember his tune.Phawkins 10:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
