Talk:New Town High School (Tasmania)

---

Unfair Reflection?

I wonder if it is absolutely necessary to mention that Martin Bryant was a student of New Town High School? It seems that this statement makes an unfair and generalised reflection upon the quality of the school. Consideration might be made that people such as composer Constantine Koukias, and the Commissioner of Tasmanian Police Mr Richard McCreadie were also students of New Town High School.

Perhaps the fact of his enrollment can be mentioned on the Martin Bryant page only out of respect to the many distinguished alumni (including some Rhodes scholars like Sergio Giudici) who are not mentioned on the page.

Are you kidding me? Seriously, I added Bryant back, and it was deleted instantly. Clearly, it is established that he is alumni... Clearly, considering he has the largest and most comprehensive Wikipedia article of all alumni. Wikipedia, and this entry's job isn't to glorify the school; it isn't to be respectful to Giudici (although we all undoubtedly are). Instead, the article's responsibility is to be factual and informative. It is valuable information, and I would appreciate if it wasn't taken down instantly, next time I add it.

Someone went ahead and deleted the whole alumni section. Damn it people, this stuff is important. If you want to come debate it, do so here. Methulah 00:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Will keep an eye out for alumni Methulah. Please stop deleting things guys!!Wellingtoncat 07:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

People need to stop delete Martin Bryant's name! No one has successfully contested the assertion that he is more notable than at least some of the other listed notable alumni. Until someone can do so, his name should remain! 14.2.175.92 (talk) 10:35, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Nth.gif

Image:Nth.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Establishment Date

Hello, I am a student at New Town and I seem to have some trouble with this articles supposed information on the year New Town was established, the articke even contradicts itself! The article is saying that Robert Hudspeth was head master, when the school supposidly did not even exist. The date of establishment of New Town High School was officailly 1962 - When Hobart Technical High School became a district high school and changed it's name to New Town High School, however the date of establishment of the school site was 1951as Hobart Technical High School. My presumtion is that the correct date of establishment for New Town High was 1919, the start of the Hobart Junior Technical Colledge, which then became the Hobart Technical High School, which then became New Town High School. I believe that 1919 is the correct date due to the fact that the only differences between the 3 schools were the name changes, changes of grades catered for and changes of building. I have put this message on the talk page for my reason for changing the article. If you have any concerns please put them here. However I firmly believe the datw of establishemnt was 1919. --Pete'sport (talk) 12:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Hobart City High School

In 2022, New Town High and Ogilvie High merged, becoming Hobart City High School. It'd be worth writing a new article and editing both articles (NTHS and OHS) to mention the merger. TmtoSouper (talk) 06:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
