Current school, or not edit

@Kerry Raymond: Hi there. I'm doing some work to sort out the categorisation of schools across Australia. e.g. Catholic by each capital city, Catholic by state, Catholic by high/primary, Catholic by religious order, Private by each capital city, state, high/primary, Anglican, Christian non-denomination - and then turn my hand to the government schools, etc. Regarding The Range, it's not clear to me whether this is still a current school. It would appear from this link that in 1990 the Sisters of Mercy’s "Range College" for girls and St Joseph’s Christian Brothers’ College merged to form The Cathedral College, Rockhampton. I'm wondering if you have any local knowledge that could confirm this is the case. If so, I will make necessary adjustments to the lede and categories. Many thanks in advance.

@Rangasyd: I guess it depends on what you mean by "school". The last para in this article's history section indicates and the current website for the school confirms, they are still using the girls school at The Range for the girls boarding house of the amalgamated school. So it is still part of a school, albeit not a teaching part. So I'd say it still was a current school but I attended a boarding school so I might think about it differently to those who didn't. I added some wikilinks to both articles to make the connection between them explicit. Kerry (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
