Why the article was deleted
You said: This comes directly from the school's website, of which I am a member of staff. I am still trying to find my way around wikipedia's (American-style legalistic stuff - a job on it's own), So don't delete this - I feel your need to keep everything above board - but this school is for real, and needs a page on Wikipedia. Thank You, Baie Dankie...

I will quickly acknowledge that Wikipedia has a lot of rules, maybe too many, but most of them exist because of a need. They can be complex, but if you just ask, we'll help guide you through the thicket of rules.

However, in this case, you are violating copyright, which is the law. We can't help you "get around" that, although we can give you useful advice, the most basic of which is, write it in your own words. That's what have been done in almost all of the 3.5 million articles.-- SPhilbrick  T  20:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
