Rise and Shine Breakfast Press Conference Kicks Off Great Event to Raise Money
for City Kidz |
Upcoming Events |
On Wednesday, January 21, 2009, the College hosted a press conference to promote the upcoming Rise & Shine for City Kidz Leadership Breakfast, hosted by HSC and presented by title sponsor Tim Hortons.
The event, to be held on March 6, aims to raise $25,000 in order to allow City Kidz to purchase two more buses to expand its Saturday activity program. The buses will provide free transportation for as many as 200 more children so they can attend the Sherman Playhouse Theatre in Hamilton’s inner city.
City Kidz is a local charitable organization providing children from 6 to 12 with games and songs in a safe, fun and interactive environment, teaching them about good life decisions. It tries to lay the foundation and attitude in young kids to enable them to reach their potential.
It has 800 children at a time attending programs each Saturday. It also provides weekly home visits to 1,500 children to get to know each child in the Saturday program on a personal level and build friendships and to show them someone cares. Read More!

Dr. Matthews Heads West – Vancouver Reunion 2009
When he discovered that he was going to be in Vancouver participating in a Board meeting for the Canadian Association of Independent Schools, Dr. Matthews took the opportunity to invite HSC alumni living on the West Coast to attend a reunion at Vancouver's Granville Island Hotel. The event, which took place on Saturday, January 24, was a great success. It brought together a group of alumni representing six decades in the history of the College, and everyone seemed to enjoy reconnecting with HSC and with one another. Thanks go out to all the alumni who attended, including Tricia Edmonds ’81, Michael Ziff ’83, John Morrison ’47, Joyce Hill ’69, Nancy Ann Frosst ’81, Dr. Thomas Gibson ’55, Peter Van Hee ’66, Pat Coldren ’46, Laura Bennetto ’79, Mary Angus ’37, Gretchen van Nostrand and Dee (Allan) Turner ’81.

Bravo! Bravissimo! A Crescendo of Applause!
On a cold January evening, the Artsplex was overflowing with over 400 people who attended the second concert of the’08-’09 Crescendo Series featuring The Tokyo String Quartet.
As the world-renowned Tokyo String Quartet embark on their 40th anniversary of the group’s founding, they gave the audience the gift of a brilliantly performed program of Beethoven, Bartok and Mendelssohn.
It was a privilege to welcome back HSC Alumni and first violinist, Martin Beaver. Martin was a student at HSC from 1977-1981. It was a family event with Martin’s parents and former HSC teachers, John and Jean Beaver in attendance.
The quartet performed on beautiful 17th and 18th century Stradivarius instruments called the “Paganini Quartet”. The Tokyo treated the audience to a very informative history of their individual instruments.
In the spirit of mentorship, Wesley Khurana, HSC’s current Arts Scholarship recipient, had the unique opportunity to have a master violin class with Martin Beaver.
A special thank you to our evening partner, Paul Jaggard of Vincero Capital Management. Crescendo Concerts appreciates the continued support of all of our generous sponsors, advertisers and the HSC community.
The Crescendo Concert Series helps fund HSC’s unique Arts Scholarship which is designed to attract outstanding high school age students.
The magic will continue at Crescendo’s final concert of the season featuring Jamie Sommerville & Friends on Friday May 8, 2009. For tickets go to or call
