Talk:Knox Grammar School

message: My mate was on clean-up duty that day and he caught them with the apple pie. Paterson did his best to make sure no-one talked (kind of fitting, given the current revelation about cover-ups), but of course being teenagers they immediately told their friends, hence the entire North Shore finding out within a couple of days.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.90.11 (talk) 02:29, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, sorry. I originally kicked it off with a question asking for verification as the story was well known around Sydney and seemed relevant. As there is no way of independently verifying this, no way it can be included in the article. Apologies for starting off the controversy. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 13:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apple Chapel Rumour 

message: There has been considerable discussion of this and no verifiable source has been found to substantiate it, only personal testimony which is not acceptable. It should therefore not be mentioned in the article. Persistent attempts to do so in violation of wiki policy are likely to be regarded as disruptive behaviour. Should a suitable verification be provided (e.g. a newspaper mention), then it can be used. It is particularly sensitive as any possible identification of individuals could be defamatory.

thread_title: Caution

message: There may be two sides to the question of whether KGS is in Warrawee or Wahroonga. The PO box is at Wahroonga, because Warrawee doesn't have a post office. The students use Warrawee station, which is just at the back gate, but Wahroonga is a short walk from the side gate. The school is surrounded on three sides by Wahroonga, and on the fourth by Warrawee. But I think it's actually in Warrawee, which consists of only a very few blocks, surrounded by Wahroonga and Turramurra.
The warcry goes in part - Warrawee! Warrawee! Black and Blue!
or for the 1st fifteen only - Warrawee! Warrawee! Ruck it, white! - as they use unique white jerseys.
The Prepschool and Gillespie field are both certainly in Wahroonga. Andrewa 17:08, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Ref  №1 works. Unfortunately ref № 2 is now a deadlink! I tried to find it again, or an on-line alternative but not successful! № 3 is 'dead' too.  You may be interested in what has been added to this page recently re the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. 220 of Borg 08:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Media coverage

message: I think there's too much detail in the cadet section, to the point where it seems a bit WP:SCHOOLCRUFTy. That one section is longer than any other section, and several other sections combined. Thoughts? ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 09:52, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cadet Unit 

message: As of 23 February 2015 the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has been looking into this schools handling, (or mishandling) of allegations of sexual abuse at the school. I have a vague feeling that in the past here have been attempts to whitewash this page over prion sexual abuse at Knox for which 4 teachers were convicted, though I may be thinking of another case. Anyway, this needs to be looked out for. I tweaked the relevant section here and I am adding much of  it to the Royal Commission page too, as other involved/examined organisations are all mentioned.

replies: text: I've added some material on this. Extra eyes on it would be most appreciated - I've tried to be really careful of the wording (as there is obviously scope for massive WP:BLP violations), but the more people reviewing what's added and ensuring it's accurate and fair the better.
