This doesn't really belong in my area of focus, but I came across this article in the New Zealand Herald (yes, I do read the NZH on a regular basis), and I thought that it would be interesting to share.
The following article provides an overview of the top school in New Zealand. This school just happens to be run in the Catholic Lasallian style; and just happens to develop a brotherhood among their students by dividing them into 'Houses' (yes, like at Hogwarts), and having house chants (perhaps a unique language?) and competitions; and just happens to have educated TWO of New Zealand's All Blacks (the elite, international rugby team) John Kirwan and Isaia Toeava; and just happens to have a dean that has "always been there for us - always pushing us even when we don't want to do it" and is described as "a tough teacher and a good guy" (kind and sapient Head); and just happens to be rated as the best school in New Zealand.
Sound very much like a Stalky school to me (except for the top school part). Perhaps Alex of Clockwork Orange would have liked this school too.
Here's the link to the article:
