[edit] Stabbing incident

I think it's fair to say that the 3rd paragraph of the "stabbing incident" section is extremely biased [not to mention largely untrue]. Please investigate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.153.71.95 (talk) 20:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Yes it was obviously written by a govenor or teacher at the school.

I doubt it was written by a teacher, but I know a lot of the students are extremely defensive over how their school has been treated in the press. Perhaps biased, but certainly not largely untrue.

Well it is true that stabbings, or anything that violent, is very rare at the school. I used to go there and the last time anything like this happened was 2 years before I started, this happened 3 years after I left, making it 10 years between incidents. On the other hand its also true that the school denies that theres a bullying problem, even to kids who claim their getting bullied.

Rare? In comparison to other schools in the area and indeed the country, this type of occurance at Collingwood is NOT rare.

[edit] Misc edit

An admin needs to remove the reference to the first headmaster being dumbledore who came from hogwarts. Patently silly and obviously the reason the page is protected in the firstplace. Please see the Harry Potter phenomenon for where that came from. 86.0.245.133 23:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
