* July 09, 2007
A MELBOURNE father says his five-year-old son was barred from enrolling in a local Catholic school because of his surname – Hell.
Alex Hell, 45, of Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne's west, says despite the school now saying his son Max is welcome, he will move the family to Geelong.
"We're quite devastated by the whole thing," Mr Hell, a Catholic father of three, said.

Mr Hell, of Austrian heritage, says the name means light or bright in German.
"It's 2007, not 1407, it's not the Dark Ages," he said.
