Media
An article suggested some schools were 'selling' places to international students and Wellington was one of the accused. The other being Glen Waverley Secondary College. Assistant principal Geoff Ellis said the school had room to grow and had no need to turn back domestic students. He reassured the school community that 'no local student is denied a place in favour of an international student' in the weekly Wellington Diary that was given out on the 7th of December 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
