Added Point of View Check due to comments over merits of one High School over another. Don't know enough about the schools merits, but the comments seem not to comply with Neutral POV. Tom Webb 04:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the comments on the schools entirely, and cleaned up other POV statements a bit. It could do with more work, but I think the POV tag is no longer needed. Please re-add it if you disagree.-gadfium 05:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd have thought that it is the other way round, with Hilary College being better than Tangaroa College (which is my local school). Although I'd have to look up their ratings to be sure about that. Do at least agree it was written in a very non-NPOV. Mathmo 00:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Zealand European V Pākehā

I have changed the description of "white people" (I couldn't think of a better term)from Pākehā to New Zealand European, but have included Pākehā as an alternate term. I think to people outside New Zealand the term Pākehā is not very descriptive where as New Zealand European is pretty self explanatory (although still not completely accurate). I see in the history there has some been debate a couple of reverts about this, but I hope this can be a compromise in the absence of a totally accepted term for pale skinned New Zealand citizens.
