Talk:St Joseph's College, Hong Kong

message: I changed some words individually so the article would look more as if an American or Englishman had written it, and be easier to read. I didn't try to translate the article's cultural attitudes - for one thing, I don't know enough about the college for such a major rewrite. 
Striving for excellence should be admirable everywhere, even though it sounds a little funny here in America, even from a religious institution. But I distinguish striving for excellence from claims that excellence has already been achieved. The latter might be open to the criticism at this link: Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms.

message: I am now reworking on this article (I drafted the first version of this page) which aims to increase the quality from the starter level up to B or even A grade.
I have rephrased the introduction of this article, which includes the information on mission statement and sponsoring body previously stated in individual sections. 
I would like to have the main body of the article dividing into the following sections: History, Campus, Academics, Extra-curricular Activities, Heritage, Notable Alumni. Please comment on this. References are from featured school articles such as Caulfield Grammar School.
One more word. I have changed the phrase "the Schools" back to "the College" since the administration of the College and the affiliated Primary School and Kindergarten aren't really the same.Dubliner 20:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

we can move this back after we have a consensus on how to update this.
The Mission Statement of the Students' Union 2011-2012 is:
*To develop students' self-confidence, sense of responsibility, discipline and to help them discover their potentials;
*To broaden the horizons of Josephians by presenting them with a colourful and dynamic school life;
*To improve relations between Josephians and other schools, parents and members of the public through various events;
*To help students, especially junior ones, develop a sense of belonging to St. Joseph's;
*To encourage students to strike a healthy balance between studies and Extra-Cirricular Activities to develop themselves into typical all-round Josephians;
*To serve as a bridge to replect to opinions of students to school authorities and encourage students to actively do so, so as to inspire them to be aware of school and current affairs;
*To co-ordinate between school authorities and students to help ensure school policies are carried out smoothly;
*To pass the school spirit to the next generations of Josephians.

:Speaking of mission statement, should a more complete mission statement of the school be included on the page? -Samoht Nahc (talk) 16:42, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Apparently the school had added a new page in 2014 for a list of notable alumni, and a majority of them should easily meet the notability requirement.
After briefly looking at the wikipedia articles of other "prestigious" schools in the Grant School Council, I believe if this section is not added back into this article or the corresponding sections in their articles got similarly cleaned up, students will either simply copy the Chinese version here or some other edits will be done just to lengthen the article to a length comparable with schools like DBS and LSC. If clean up is the appropriate way, it would be more desirable to be done by foreigners. akoo (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
