message: I'd dispute classifying the school as a "Selective School" in the information panel on the right and in the introductory paragraph. Mention of the selective stream in the "History" section is enough; the fact remains that the school is still a normal secondary school and the majority of students are mainstream.
Chatswood High school as a partially selective high school. If anything It should be classified as that. 202.7.166.173 12:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Demountables are not considered permanent. The DET policy [] makes it clear that they can be moved at any time. In the light of this, and while it's a matter of semantics, saying that they are permanent is technically incorrect. -danjel (talk to me) 11:04, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the article, what's left unclear is whether the demountables are still in use. I agree that permanent isn't the right word for the job; perhaps a sentence should be added like "As of 2011, the demountables are still in use as classrooms"? —C.Fred (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I'll work something around in a moment. -danjel (talk to me) 01:17, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Perhaps you should take the time over the next day or so to find a reliable source that says Chatswood handled more Vietnamese refugees than other North Shore schools. If the claim isn't sourced, it's subject to removal. —C.Fred (talk) 17:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I know for a fact that the demountables are dodgy. The Teachers' Federation has complained about it endlessly. Could be a good place to look. -danjel (talk to me) 19:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demountables 

message: I attended this school from '74 till '79. There were no demountables then. The area which they are now in was the staff car park and out of bounds to students. Also there was a cadet unit at the school when I started but it may have been gone by the time I finished, There was a "donga", a portable corrugated iron shed in the staff car park area which belonged to the cadets. It was not what you would have called a multi-cultural school when I was there, I'm of mixed eurasian background and I was an oddity at the time. Most of the students at the time were born in Australia, even if their parents weren't. 
During my time at the school renovations were carried out to the library, enclosing a part of the open mezzanine area with timber panelling and double glazing in order to make a classroom. Also in '78 there was remedial work carried out to the brick retaining walls between the admin building and what was then the wing which held the music rooms downstairs and the art rooms upstairs. During my time at the school classrooms also got ceiling fans (luxury!) and they all already had a gas heater in the front of the classroom.
In my first year we had a record intake (up till then, at least) with 8 first form classes of around 30 students each. After 2nd form the terminology changed and we were year 9 etc. Originally we had 8 periods a day but this was later changed ('78?) to a two week timetable of 6 periods a day. The tuckshop was run by the P&C, or at least it was manned by volunteer mums. 203.45.150.174 (talk) 14:24, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
