Draft:Mackillop Catholic College Warnervale

• Comment: Firstly, please see WP:COI.
  Secondly, the submission is very difficult to review, as none of the statements have inline citations bar links to unhelpful notes which don't help verify statements at all, such as "None noted have a wikipedia page" or "Only in yearbooks, never mentioned by Lazarbeam himself", and there's just a long list of WP:External links at the bottom.
  Buried deep in this long list there may be enough to establish notability, or to verify the large number of incredibly detailed, but as of yet, uncited, statements, but it's asking reviewers to do a huge amount of work due to the absence inline citations when the likelihood of a high school being notable is low (see WP:NSCHOOL).

History and Starting Years

When the school opened in 2003, the school opened as The Blessed Mary Mackillop Catholic College, with multiple staff members such as Janine Silver, Stephen Aitken, Father John Hodgson, Debra Ferguson and Michael Rickards. The school was named a college even though when the school opened, it was only a high school. It's because Stephen Aitken had a plan to open a primary section of the school. The school picked up an enrollment of about 40 children, all classes were held in demountables surrounded by a patch of grass where children would play games. In early 2004, they started expanding this little area to what we now know as the Creative Arts area, along with a driveway. Somewhere around late 2004, the school opened the Oval, which is the largest area in the school spanning 75m x 140m, somewhere around mid 2005, the Aitken Hall named after the family of Stephen Aitken, Library, Theatre and English Block was constructed. Over time, the school expanded to a primary area where the school had reached about 250 students across primary and high school. Somewhere in 2007-2008, The full TAS area opened, holding 4 different sections, History Block, T Block (English), Lab Block, and S Block (Math) along with some other areas like The Office, Digital Technology Block and Canteen. Somewhere in 2009, the Church opened, where masses were held and later became open after school hours for families. Somewhere in 2012, the school reached 500 students. In 2010, the founder Stephen Aitken passed away, due to complications with Prostate Cancer at Berkeley Vale Private Hospital. Somewhere in 2012, the first student passes away due to health complications. A garden was constructed in remembrance of the student. In 2017, the newest area in the school is built, which was a demountable outside of the Primary Basketball Court. From 2017-2023, most principals except the Secondary Assistant Principal announce their resignation. The first principal to resign was the Assistant Primary Principal, who resigned in 2018, followed by the Primary Principal in 2019, late 2022, the Secondary Principal announced her resignation, but was held back due to the short lived resignation of the last College Principal, following the resignation and retirement of the former College Principal in 2021, The short lived College Principal resigned due to a promotion at the schools school board, due to this uninformed resignation, the Secondary Principal had to hold back another year. She will be retiring on the 14th of December, 2023 if no interruptions happen.
