Category talk:People educated at Manly Selective Campus/Comment

"Category:People educated at Manly High School" is distinct from "Category:People educated at Manly Selective Campus".

Manly High School existed as a distinct entity for 20 years from when co-education was introduced in 1983 (previously the campus was Manly Boys High School) until it was renamed in 2003 to reflect the selective status that began in 1990 with the first intake of students (many of whom graduated with the first selective HSC class in 1995).

Some people (including myself) are former students of Manly High School but not of Manly Selective Campus.

During my high school years there was no opportunity for state selective schooling on the northern beaches of Sydney (I was unofficially advised to move into the North Sydney Boys High School recruitment area by one teacher) & whilst I believe that myself & quite a number others of my graduating class (including our Dux Nicholas Saravanos) would have been accepted to a selective school, I also believe that allowing the majority of the students at Manly High School during my time there to be classed as "People educated at Manly Selective Campus" cannot go unchallenged.
