H.R.T.V

Heritage Regional High School is the owner of its own television studio and Media Studies program.

iCan

The iCan program is a program for students with avid interests in computers. The program consists of a condensed schedule like Sports Excellence; but, instead of doing sports, every student has 2 hours of time to work on various projects on the computer. Some examples of projects that a student could be doing in Secondary 1 are Scratch, making an agenda cover page, and learning html. In Secondary 2, a student will do some of the same things but with some more advanced projects such as learning Ruby, Photoshop and more. In Secondary 3, some projects a student may complete include learning Photoshop, html, Python, Sql, Java, and 3D image rendering.

IBO Plays 2006

The Secondary 4 IBO students performed several plays on stage. The theme was media, which included movies and television shows. A variety of different plays were also performed.

In 2008, the plays were presented again during the IBO open fair to give parents, students and others who had missed the original performances to see them.

Clubs

Environment Club

The HRHS Environmental Club belongs to Roots and Shoots, a program offered by the Jane Goodall Institute. The club has been active for many years, although not only at HRHS. The club was started by Mrs. Coleen Carter when she was working at RVR High School. When she came to teach at the new Heritage Regional High School (it had been renamed from MacDonald Cartier Memorial High School), the Environmental Club followed along.

In the last few years, they have raised several hundred dollars for various charities, adopted a whale, owl and chimpanzee and a polar bear, collected over 2000 old prescription eyeglasses and over 200 pounds of plastic and aluminum tabs for recycling.

Recently, Heritage has been awarded with the Earth School status by the Green Schools Program and was the first school to receive it in the province of Quebec.
