EXCITING news about

Harbour View’s

20th anniversary!

Welcome to Harbour View High School

Submitted by Mr. M. Butler

Sixteen years ago I began teaching right here at

Harbour View – and I am thrilled to be back this

year as principal of this great school. Since leaving

HVHS nine years ago I have had a variety of oppor-

tunities which have been wonderful, but no school

feels like home to me except Harbour View.

A special welcome to our new grade nine Vikings. I

hope you are excited about being part of the HVHS

family – a school community that values the diversi-

ty each of you brings.

Returning to Harbour View means that I get to be

part of a staff who provide tremendous learning

opportunities for our students, both in classrooms

and through extra-curricular activities. Even before

school has begun, staff and students have been hard

at work on the fields and on the stage preparing for

fall sports and our upcoming musical produc-

tion. The constant opportunities for all students to

discover and use their talents is such an integral part

of the HVHS experience.

The next ten months will present countless opportunities for each of you – chances to learn in the classroom, to

participate in a huge array of activities, and to contribute to the life of a school that is always growing and

improving. Take advantage of those opportunities!

Looking back over the years since I started my career here at Harbour View, it is clear to me how much this

school allowed me to learn and grow. I hope your experience is the same – and that you are able to Invent

Yourself Here.

Parents are an important part of the HVHS community. One way to get involved is through the HVHS Parent

School Support Committee (PSSC). The PSSC provides opportunities for parents to be informed about and

engaged in the life of HVHS. Members share their thoughts and provide feedback on behalf of the parent com-

munity in support of the growth and success of HVHS. Through monthly meetings, committee members learn

of current activities and new projects at the school as well as initiatives within the educational sector that will

impact the school and students. The Committee contributes to on-going processes such as the School Improve-

ment Plan as well as school specific activities. On occasion, there are opportunities for members to represent

the HVHS PSSC at District activities and other initiatives.

If you may be interested in becoming an active member of the HVHS community by participating in the

PSSC, watch for information on how to join, or email w.jane.fullerton@gmail.com.

Hey Vikings, welcome back!

I hope everyone had a great summer, but you’re going to have an even better school year here at HVHS!

This year we have a bunch of great new ideas as a Student Council, but we’ll still ensure that we plan our awesome annual events

such as dances and theme weeks!

For all our new grade nines out there, I would like to welcome you, on behalf of the Student Council, to our school and the Viking

family. Try not to worry too much about being in high school; you have four amazing years ahead of you to invent yourself as a true

Viking! Get involved and have fun. These are your glory years. Make the best of them!

I hope that you’re all as excited to start this year off as I am.

Hey Vikings! Welcome back to HV! My name is Rachel Fullerton-

Quin. In the past, I’ve written monthly articles about books column

and fashion; however, this year I’m delighted to be able to be the

editor of Harbour Views.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m someone who is always

ready for a laugh and I am never afraid of meeting new people. The

yearly productions of SCENES, and the musical have been, by far,

my favourite part of being a Viking these past four years. I’m look-

ing forward to adding Harbour Views to my list of memories.

I hope everyone made the most of the summer months. I spent most

of it working, as I’m sure many of you did, but I also had some un-

forgettable experiences. Although far too short, my summer was fan-

tastic and I’m beyond excited to be starting my senior year. I’m real-

ly looking forward to things like prom and grad events (woo!!)

To the grade 12’s: this is your year. Try out for a sport you’ve al-

ways wanted to try, challenge yourself to direct your own scene, join

clubs that you may have missed in the past; it’s not too late. To the

10’s and 11’s: don’t sit around waiting for senior year, high school

goes by quickly; any 12th grader will tell you that. Take in every mo-

ment you can. Grade 9’s: high school is wild. You’ll make friends

you wouldn’t trade for the world, and learn new things about your-

self continuously. Become whoever you want here.

Vikings, this year is bound to be awesome: don’t miss a thing!

Harbour View’s fall musical takes us under the sea

TAYLOR BRENEOL as

URSULA

“In a way, Ursula isn’t a villain,

she’s just misunderstood which

has lead her to do some not nice

things. Ultimately, she’s just

trying to regain the power she

so rightfully deserves.”

EMILY ALSTON as

ARIEL

“Ariel embodies the rebellious

teen of today. She’s spunky

and she doesn’t give up.”

IAN MCGILL as

SCUTTLE

“The greatest thing about play-

ing Scuttle, the bird, is that I

don’t have to worry about how

crazy my hair looks.”

ALLY HEBERT as

FLOUNDER

“It feels weird that this is my

last musical performance at

HVHS. You always think, I

hope we can try this or that next

year—but then I realize I’m not

coming back.”

CALEB HUNTER as

SEBASTIAN

“My character is a very strict

crab who likes to play by the

rules, but he does like help-

ing people any way he can.”

ANNA CHISHOLM as

ARISTA

“My character is one of Ariel’s

sisters. She’s really sassy and a

little jealous of her sister be-

cause King Triton likes Ariel

the best.”

ALEX TAYLOR as

KING TRITON

“King Triton is a loving fa-

ther who just wants the best

for his daughters. I like play-

ing him because I’m in com-

mand and that’s pretty cool.”

BENNETT YOUNG as

ERIC

“Eric doesn’t want to be a

prince. He wants to be a sail-

or so he’s very adventurous,

carefree and alive. I’m not as

smooth as he is; he’s got

some moves.”
