Talk:Trinity Christian School, Canberra

Fixing stuff
Ok so this page is a little sketchy and doesn't really meet wiki standards. It might need to be written in a more authoritative passive voice and include essential facts like the name of the principal and a list of past principal. An address and details of schools features might be good too.

The school does not have 'colonial-style' buildings
This is a kind of a weird claim and should be removed. Try googling 'colonial-style' buildings.

Contraversy
The controversy section is actually a little off the mark. The real controversy about Trinity, when it first started up, was that it was operating in leased space out of a Government school. There was a lot of anger in the community about such a conservative religious part of the community being allowed to used government owned property to educate their children. It was seen as a conflict of the separation of church and state - i.e. government can't directly sponsor religion. The school was given the land it is presently occupying as a comprises, allowing the school to continue with its religious educational agenda whilst being at arms length from government. (There should be plenty of references in the Canberra Times to this)

Further controversy arose around 1992/3 when the school principal at the time made the executive decision that all books mentioning or supporting evolution should be pulled from the school's library. This action resulted in outcry from many parents and a large number of families promising to leave the school. Following sustained pressure a new principal [Neumann I think?] was installed and the school's policy on evolution education moderated somewhat. (I'm pretty sure this is in the Canberra times too, but it might take a while to find the relevant article)

Controversy
definitely seems like this article should mention controversies the school has been in the news for e.g. conversion therapy practice and principle sending out emails telling parents to vote against banning conversion therapy and the gay marriage referendum. 194.193.38.73 (talk) 12:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
