David Kennedy
I have removed the following from the Alumni section:

"In 1910 while not actually a pupil of the College but its third Rector Very Rev. Dr. David Kennedy SM together with two Marist seminarians, Joseph Cullen and Ignatius von Gottfried, whom Kennedy had trained, photographed Halley's Comet. Their photographs are considered among the best in the world for that passage of the comet and were republished in the United States by NASA in 1986. Kennedy continued as Rector until 1917 and was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical and Royal Meteorological societies." --Roue2 01:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Spclogosmall2.jpg
Image:Spclogosmall2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

House Banners
I scanned, and uploaded the four college house banners onto Wikimedia Commons, which can be found on the page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/3atc3. Unfortunately these images are not working, and I do not know why this is. Could someone please solve the problem so these can be added to this page, and in doing so make this page much more informative. Much appreciated.

Staff list
, stop adding in the staff list. Not only is it unsourced, it's not relevant for Wikipedia. You don't list each staff member or even just list the Senior Leadership team. Only the Principal gets added in the infobox and any notable staff. To be notable on Wikipedia, means they have their own article that can be linked too. If they don't have an article, they shouldn't be added at all. Revert again and you risk getting blocked.— NZFC  (talk) (cont)  02:03, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
