Sugar Cane Fire Essay Competition : Prize Giving
Darryl Ramoutar, and Stefan Maharaj. We had won prizes at a Sugar cane fire essay competition. I would have been in form 2 and Stefan in form 3. There were different age groups and hence why Mrs. Chote and the primary school children are also there (including Saleem Khan who also later went to Hillview). I think it was held in a building on Brechin Castle and the year was 1994.

Blue and Grey vs Maroon and Gokd
A post by Stephen Kanagal from a facebook thread
Hillview's uniform of blue and grey came into being in January 1955. The maroon and gold came into being around post September 1962 when the blazer was introduced as maroon with gold trimming and the crest also with the same colours as well as the College flag and tie. These maroon and gold are used as a formal wear for graduations and formal opening and closing ceremonies of the School. The blue shirt and grey trousers were embellished with the gold and maroon crest and at times with the maroon school tie. There is no conflict since the blue and grey is well settled since 1955 and the maroon and gold used for formal occasions. Dr Moosai seems to have borrowed these Colours from King's College, Cambridge a name that he wanted to introduce at Hillview but better sense prevailed. Prior to this the formal wear was all white with a maroon tie after we moved to El Dorado in 1957. The burgundy blazer referred to by Marc above was really the maroon blazer and I still have mine as you can see in my photograph

Hillview College celebrates Carnival in style
By STEPHON NICHOLAS Saturday, March 22 2014
It
was a grand affair at Hillview College recently as the school held
their annual Carnival celebrations on February 28 at the compound. Apart
from the fun, cash prizes were also awarded to the winners of the
various competitions including Original Calypso, Humorous Calypso, Most
Promising Calypsonian, Know Your Icon and Engine Room competitions.
Also,
it is the first time in the history of Hillview that the Canboulay
Riots were reenacted. In addition, the students of Form One portrayed
traditional Carnival characters with their own band of Midnight Robbers,
Dame Lorrines, jab molassie, sailors, fancy Indians, and moko jumbies.
And to cap off the celebrations, soca artiste JoJo (Joanna Hutton) made a
guest appearance to sing her 2014 hit “Shake That.”
Estevan Ollivierra blew away his rivals in the Know Your Icon competition with a sterling rendition of Machel Montano’s “Happiest Man Alive”. Backed up by an energetic group of dancers, Estevan demonstrated his vocal skills as well as his prowess on the piano for which he received vociferous applause. Coming in second was Michael Benacia while Randy Jacob, Stefan Horrel and Shaquille Salick tied for third.
Meanwhile Johan Richards was crowned king of Original Calypso with his rendition of “The Remedy.” Rounding out the top three were Christon Joseph and Jonathan Jacobs who placed second and third respectively. Ken Holder took home two prizes for his song “Gideon,” winning the Most Humorous Calypso competition while also being named Most Promising Calypsonian.
A Carnival would be incomplete without the infectious music from a rhythm section and Hillview did not leave out this staple. Winning the Engine Room Competition was the Lower VI Form while Form IV placed second. The Upper VI unit placed third.
The Canboulay Riots reenactment was written and directed by Roshni Tewarie-Mohan and Kurtis Gross. The Musical Director was Everald Watson with Rondel Benjamin of the Bois Academy as the consultant for the production. The production was mounted by the Form Two year group as part of their Theatre Arts programme for the term. The students designed the set themselves and made the tamboo bamboo instruments.
