Talk:List of Christian Brothers schools

Note
Just a note to the multitude of people who mistakenly add schools that aren't Christian Brother schools, and never have been: If you're told, for example, that your school is run by "the Brothers of the Christian Schools", that does not make them Christian Brothers. Many of these schools are in fact Lasallian, and are distinguishable by having different founders (Jean-Baptiste de la Salle for the Lasallians, and Edmund Ignatius Rice for the Christian Brothers). Check the school website first. I'm watching this page, and if I delete an entry, this is almost definitely the reason. Thanks. Rob Lindsey 09:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I deleted schools that are Lasallian schools.--Surtic 19:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Christian Brothers High School Memphis and Christian Brothers High School Sacramento do not belong in this list as they are associated with the "Brothers of the Christian Schools," a religious community of brothers founded by St. John Baptist de La Salle in France in the late 18th Century. The schools listed here are those associated with the "Congregation of Christian Brothers," a religious community of brothers founded by Blessed Edmund Rice in Ireland in 1802. These two distinct Roman Catholic orders of religious brothers are often confused in the United States because in the United States they are both commonly known as the Christian Brothers. The Memphis and Sacramento schools called "Christian Brothers High School" are correctly listed in the Wikipedia article Lasallian educational institutions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Reordering this page for Australia
The page is a bit complicated in respect of the Australian schools. Do editors think it might be preferable to list all Christian Brothers schools whether defunct or existing, and also the descendant amalgamated schools of defunct schools, making sure that the history is included in the separate wikipedia pages for each amalgamated school?

See what I have done with the New Zealand schools, in particular, Dunedin, New Zealand. In Dunedin there were two (possibly three) CB schools (but one had three different names at different times) which are now combined with two girls' schools into one school, Kavanagh College. That complex history is set out in the page for that school but all the different CB schools (and the three different names) are listed under their different names in the list but all are linked to Kavanagh College.

I have already done it in this list in respect of Christian Brothers College, Tamworth linked to the present amalgamated school McCarthy Catholic College its descendant school which is also listed. I have tried to transfer the history to the wikipedia page for that college.

I note, in passing, that there is a shortage of references in that article. I would be interested in whether editors think I should proceed on this basis.Rick570 (talk) 00:04, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
