Hillview College

What Hillview College does

Hillview College is a government-assisted Presbyterian secondary school located at 1-5 College Road, El Dorado, Tunapuna, Trinidad and Tobago, serving students from Form 1 through Form 6 in a seven-year academic program. Founded on January 17, 1955 as Naparima College, Tunapuna Branch with 44 students and two teachers, the school was renamed Hillview College in 1962 by Principal Dr. Stephen Moosai-Maharaj, who also established the motto 'Humani Nihil Alienum' ('Nothing concerning humanity is alien to me') and composed the college song. The institution prepares students for CXC/O-Level examinations at 5th Form and CAPE/A-Level Examinations at 6th Form in sciences, business studies, and modern studies. Originally an all-boys school, girls were admitted to 6th Form beginning in 1992, making the upper-secondary years co-educational.

The school's technology platform consists of a Learning Management System (LMS) for content delivery, an online Student Registration Portal (integrated with Google Forms for pre-registration), a Library Media Centre providing access to EBSCOhost databases including Caribbean Search and the Caribbean e-Book Collection (1,500+ titles), a cPanel-based webmail system for staff communication, a PTA Portal, the Campus Admin Plus administrative system, and a Timetable Allocation System. Student-led extracurricular technology offerings include the Radio Club ('Radio for Students, by Students') and the Journalism Society. The institution operates as a government-assisted school under the governance of the Presbyterian Church of Trinidad and Tobago, with funding derived from government support, tuition, PTA contributions, and alumni engagement through the Hillview Old Boys Association (HOBA). Specific tuition fees and financial figures are not publicly disclosed. The school is currently led by Principal Derek Bissessar and Vice Principal Sharon Ramdeen, following the 2021 retirement of long-serving Principal Leslie Mahase.
