European Trip
On April 21, 27 students and 4
teacher chaperones will be leaving
for Europe on the annual school
trip. Students will depart from
Gander and fly to Halifax and then
overseas to London and on to
Paris, for 10 days of educational
discovery and learning. The group
will visit Paris, Barcelona, Madrid
and London where they will
experience many of the wonderful
experience Europe has to offer.
They will visit the Louvre and see
the Mona Lisa, climb the Eifel
Tower, walk the Champ de Elyse,
visit Notre Dame Cathedral and see
great works of art in the Prado.
They will experience French and
Spanish cuisine, speak the
language and learn how to convert
their money into Euros. They’ll
learn how to navigate airport
terminals and work their way
through customs. This is a trip of a
lifetime and will open their eyes to
the world. Bon Voyage! Bonjour
Paris! Hola Spain.
EVI Grade 8’s Visit EVH
On April 4-6 the grade 8 students
from EVI will get a chance to visit
and tour EVH. The administration
will get a chance to talk to the
students about high school and the
EVH student leadership team will
act as tour guides as each group
explores the building and various
classrooms. It is hoped that an
early introduction to the school will
start students thinking about their
futures and career options.

She has worked in Goose Bay,
Glovertown, Gander Bay and

EVH Boys Hockey
This past weekend the boys EVH
Eagles Hockey Team won the Don
Cherry’s provincial high school
tournament in St. John’s. In a close
semi-final game the Eagles defeated
the Gonzaga Viking 2-1. In the
championship game on Saturady the
Eagles defeated the Clarenville
Cougars 7-3 with goals by Tyler
Marsh, Brandon Jewer, Cody Drover
and Mike Greening. Congrats to the
coaching staff and Mr. Hiscock for a
job well done.
Student Interns
Over the past few months EVH was
fortunate to have 3 student teacher
interns at our school. The three
interns; Terri-Lynn Philpott, Janice
Kennedy and Danielle Mills, were
previous students at the school. The
entire staff would like to wish them
well as they begin their careers as
high school teachers. From what we
have observed at EVH, these new
teachers will make a valuable
contribution to the field of education.
