Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

Hong Kong or Ho-Ho-Kus New Jersey, a high school is a high school. Why is this in an encyclopedia?--Wetman 08:30, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

So by that token articles on Columbine, the United World Colleges, UK public schools (eg Eton) etc would also be removed, no?

[edit] Re: Raffle Tickets

I didn't know it turned out to be a scandal. I fell foul of the school for not selling any back in early 1990. As a old student, I still remember being summoned to the principal's office over it. When did it become discontinued?

[edit] House mascots

Are there house mascots? if there are i don't know of them... I think they are unofficial so I won't put them on the page.Typhoonchaser 12:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

ERm there ARE house mascots but i'm not sure if those are rite..

Typhoonchaser who are you? What year? I assure you the information I uploaded was true. I've been working in this school for 6 years. Stop vandalising the updates. The principal may have tried to cover up these events, but I want them heard out.

Sorry, 210.87.251.111. I never knew you worked at SC. I'm a Yr 9 student, who are you?

Typhoonchaser, there are house mascots, but they change sometimes, so, generally speaking, they're unofficial. Last time i heard, they were: Armstrong: Spongebob Squarepants; Drake: Stitch (from "Lilo and Stitch"); Hillary: [erm, i'm not that sure...]; Kingsley: [don't know either]; Scott: [argh, god, pass...]; Tasman: Tigger (from "Winnie-the-Pooh")...

Mainly, they're not really refered to, but we are encouraged to bring any toys of the mascots for Swimming Gala and Sports Day to wave them around and stuff... By the way, I'm in 8T...you? 220.246.151.251 13:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Chipmunk

By the way, what on earth are the house mascots you're talking about? Insanephantom 13:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing house mascots aren't too popular over our Year 10 group... typhoonchaser 15:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Gah, just forget about the unofficial mascots. They're honestly not worth putting on a public encyclopedia, right? - Arbiter the Grunt Fanatic —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbiterthegruntfanatic (talk • contribs) 10:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

True. --typhoonchaser 10:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Theft

Should this section be in the article? I feel that User:Slf67 definitely had reason to revert and remove the section, but there is theft going on in Sha Tin College as Mr Cottam stated, just not as serious as the anonymous user said. Any thoughts? typhoonchaser 09:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree that the section should be in the article, even though it may be useful, since it may give a bad impression to the school. I think that's why it was deleted. Insanephantom 09:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Bad impression? I think that's what we're trying to avoid saying, giving bad impressions... If there is theft going on, then why not say out the truth? It was deleted because it was seen as vandalism, inserting false information, I think. More input welcome. typhoonchaser 09:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In that case, since it is not something minor involving the police, you could, but maybe not in the way the other person wrote it. Insanephantom 14:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JUNE 2007

i look at this site and i look at KGV's site and it's so disappointing.

how bout redoing the site altogheter?

organise it into a real page, cut that house crapinto one section. State the Aims of Sha Tin COllege, talk more about the location and the demographics of students etc, talk about school culture like Houses, house cup, swimming gala, CAS week, destinations for studetns after leaving year 13 etc.

Hello 124.187.169.128, how do you suggest we could improve the article? Give some specific suggestions and even be bold and add it on yourself! It's really not hard. But I appreciate that you wanted to achieve community consensus first, it's a good thing...

I agree though, I can't believe we missed out CAS Week altogether! -- typhoonchaser 05:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

I was uh, fiddling around with Photoshop and I cropped the logo and turned it into a PNG. It would be nice if someone could refine it a little more (the bottom looks a bit weird) or crop the newer logo on the school website! --typhoonchaser 10:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Foreign" and "Local"

"Sha Tin College accepts students from an academic perspective, mainly students already fluent in English. Though the school accepts foreign students over local ones, the student population and demographics are predominantly Asian – notably middle class Hong Kongers carrying dual citizenship – when compared with other international schools."

This statement does not correctly reflect the school's admissions policies, because the terms "foreign" and "local" are not sufficiently clear: does "foreign" denote foreign passport holders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.176.166 (talk) 02:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps we could remove that bit for now, pending further clarification/research? I'm guessing "foreign" would mean "westerners" in Hong Kong speech, but I'm Chinese and I hold a foreign passport, so I'm not so sure... --typhoonchaser 02:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drugs!

anyone heard about the drug scandal thats been happening... its not the first time apparantly :O SCANDALEEE!
