Talk:North Sydney Girls High School

message: I emailed the school and received this explanation today:
No there is no apostrophe in our name - our Deputy Principal [name] has given me a brief explanation for you.
Some years ago (at least early 90's) it was determined that the word "girls" was an adjective in the name of the school - that is a high school for girls in a similar way to a high school for technology or languages.  Thus "girls" is used in a similar way to technology in "technology high school", that is as an adjective.  Thus it is a high school dealing with girls rather than one owned by girls, which would involve the possessive case and require an apostrophe.
Hope this answers you question.

replies: text: I emailed again asking if it was OK to put this in the article. I received a reply saying that the source of the information "does not want this in the article." So, I've removed it. We're probably not bound by their request but as a courtesy I think we should honor it. The details don't seem terribly important, other than confirming that the official spelling has no apostrophe.

message: I've changed it to Crows Nest because NSGHS is actually situated in Crows Nest now.  A couple of years ago it was in North Sydney.  silverwolf_athame 06:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm considering removing the descriptions about facilities. Every high school has them, what makes North Sydney Girls so significant in having darkrooms? I'm sitting in the gym now and it's nowhere near large. Also, I'd like to point out that the Co-curriculum section does not need such a lengthy list. Most of it seems irrelevant or present in all other high schools anyway/ Farslayer (talk) 02:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
