Primary schools are not notable as a class (unlike high schools) and this small local school does not appear to be notable enough to meet Wikipedia requirements. Elen of the Roads (talk) 04:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC) (Note - article has previously been PRODded by a different editor)
 * Merge to Bentleigh, Victoria or the relevant Roman Catholic diocese. We generally do not delete articles about non-notable elementary schools, but instead merge them to the locality or school district. - Eastmain (talk) 07:01, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect to Bentleigh, Victoria per precedent. Primary schools are always merged to the closest locality / school district per WP:PRESERVE. Those who express "delete" opinions are correct that this primary school fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines, but they fail to provide a rationale for not preserving the content. I have merged the content in this article to Bentleigh, Victoria and sourced the information with the school's website, which is a sufficient source to verify this information. I have taken care to reword the content; save for the introductory sentence, much of this article was a copyright violation of the school's website. Cunard (talk) 09:06, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I will convert the existing page into a redirect. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
