A Primary school, so without inherent notability; meets no other notability criteria. Shirt58 (talk) 12:40, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of schools in Tasmania#Catholic schools where it is mentioned. The article is confused, but this confirms it is a primary school and Launceston is too big for a geographic merge. TerriersFan (talk) 17:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that this is also a "high school". --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's currently a primary school, but previously was a secondary school, on the same campus but under different names. A quandary: keep as a former secondary school? redirect to the school that - through a somewhat convoluted path - has inherited its secondary school functions? --Shirt58 (talk) 10:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would vote to keep the article, because of the historical interest. (See this ref: [1]. It is one of only two dozen or so educational establishments to make it into this database compiled by Centre for Tasmanian Historical Studies, University of Tasmania, and with an apparently rigourous inclusion process. See [2]). Hallucegenia (talk) 17:09, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the reference and external link to the article. Hallucegenia (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: as nominator, I could withdraw the nomination, but I am sure that the preferable outcome is an outcome decided by consensus. To that end I would ask that !voters continue building the case for a keep in the article itself as well as in this AfD. --Shirt58 (talk) 12:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - primary school but changed to keep because of the history found, above. TerriersFan (talk) 00:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
