Funny ha ha

I'll remove the crap about the "famous" games players and so called musical success of Kharma 45, please correct me if anyone from the school in recent years has done anything of note... Alastairward 23:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Kharma 45 are a notable band they supported Kaiser Cheifs at Oxygen i think

Academic success

Are there teachers or members of the board of governors editing this article? I'll remove the sentence "This achievement is truly astounding and demonstrates the high level of commitment and ability from both teachers and pupils at the School" as it doesn't fit an encyclopedia style and perhaps ask for a cite for the other claims. I don't doubt them, I remember the school doing well on the Times list of top schools, but it would be nice to have something to back the claim (I tried but couldn't find a cite myself) Alastairward 10:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Notable pupils

I'd say that teachers at this school have been editing this.. Saying which notable students such as Boyd Rankin is opinated. What about others? Orion qwerty (talk) 06:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The articles on the pupils seem to make them notable, they should stay. Do you know of any other notable students? Alastairward (talk) 16:33, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Enrolement

there is incorrect. there is less than 850 pupils as there is about 60 in each year and there is 7 years so that would make 420 but i did not change is as i dont have a reference to how many they're exactly are 81.155.158.122 (talk) 19:57, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Deputy Headmaster

This is now D. Hampton as J.F. Tummon retired a few years ago —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.190.237 (talk) 16:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Retired and sadly passed away from what I've heard, despite what the recent vandal has suggested. WikiuserNI (talk) 09:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Recent edits

If the editor who changed the staff names and added some advertising material from the prospectus would like to discuss the changes they made, they may do so here. WikiuserNI (talk) 13:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Deputy Headmaster is real

First I would like to say WikiuserNI is from Belfast, around 200 miles away from Strabane Grammer, making it impossible for him/her to "hear" about any such death.

Revron77 would like to provide evidence to counter this claim made by WikiuserNI about me putting dead staff as active staff.

Link to the Schools website, list of staff: http://www.strabanegs.co.uk/ And to make sure the claim was true, I contacted the WELB about claims of death, which were proven false.

Anyone in contact with WikiuserNI should be aware of false information made by him/her to harm editors.

The school website is updated very infrequently, with the latest news update on 11/05/2009 and before that in 2006. WikiuserNI (talk) 12:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Then look at what you say "J.F. Tummon retired a few years ago" Meaning that when updates were made they were made in 2009. That doesn’t seem to be a few years, or are you messing you’re information around? Also the RateMyTeacher page is kept up to date on schools and staff. I can show you J.F.Tummon profile witch states him apart of one of the schools departments Link here

JIM TUMMON IS A ACTIVE GAA MEMBERS, IF HE WAS DEAD "YEARS AGO" HE WOULD NOT BE THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER OF Fermanagh County Committee 2010. Here is the website with GAA Staff Tummon active GAA member —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revron77 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

The school website is in a state of disrepair and has had various updates through the years (exam results seem to be stuck even earlier than 2009). And proof is not given by another J Tummon appearing on another website. WikiuserNI (talk) 15:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
