[edit] Motto

Isn't Dieu et Droit both Latin and French? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.235.186.101 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 24 September 2005

Hi, please use ~~~~ to sign your comments on talk pages.
No, it isn't. See also wiktionary:god and wiktionary:God (although that does not prove anything, of course). Ok, the word et is both French and Latin, that much is true. --Aleph4 15:59, 24 September 2005 (UTC)


We were told it is both, but in our school, we were taught that the motto is meant to be in latin, pronounced latin, and it wasn't meant to suggest that our LOTE prefered French over the other languages available at the school. Necie B 10:01, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
The school motto section elaborates on what languages are offered at the school. This is irrelevant. Should it be removed? Hippi ippi 11:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
The school motto is French. Trust me, I'm a Latin student. We were taught in year 7 LOTE (at StGGHS) that it was French. Not a meld of both. French. Dieu is not Latin. Droit is not Latin. If you don't believe me, check out an online Latin dictionary i.e. William Whitaker's Words. If the motto were Latin, it would be Deus et Rectus, or something to that effect. The motto is not French.

[edit] School Uniform

Isn't the school uniform and the paragraph on socks a bit irrelevent? 58.178.65.190 16:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Socks is irrelevent. I will delete it. -hippi ippi 07:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stgeorgegirls'logo.jpg

Image:Stgeorgegirls'logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] HSC Results section

This section looks like an advertisement of the school's reputation. WP:NOT#SOAP Methinks it stands for deletion. Ong elvin 09:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It also occurs to me that listing recent (and only the good) HSC results goes against WP:NPOV. If you list the full results (ie, use band distribution so that people can see the full range of results) then it wouldn't go against WP:NPOV. Also, simply being true and independently verifiable does not make it encyclopaedic. And as I stated just above, it is a form of self-promotion of SGGHS, which is also against WP:NOT#SOAP.

[edit] Mock Assembly.

I think it's irrelevant. "The grade is given full artistic license to this annual event, from the script-writing process, casting, directing, and acting." That is not one bit true. Well, it's half true. But anyway, the Mock Assembly is not even an official event. — *Hippi ippi 00:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
