How to join

Watch the daily notices. There could be something coming up. Otherwise, if you are inclined, e-mail the Web Team (webteam@hvhs.ac.nz). To be flexible with members’ other commitments, there are no regular meetings; the Team meets as needed (with staff supervision), online or ‘offline’. Students from all forms are welcome.

How it works

The HVHS web site in late 1999 underwent some major developments. Every page you see on this site is now dynamically generated, so that it becomes aesthetically pleasing if you’re using Netscape or Internet Explorer. Viva la guerras del browser!

Behind this new development were Active Server Pages. You may have noticed that the pages on the site no longer have the .htm extension, but rather .asp. This is because ASP pages allow programs to be run on our server, changing the pages so they become better.

In addition to that benefit, if we want to change the design of the site, we now only have to change one template page – which is a lot easier. (For example, the May 2000 addition of the image gallery to the site layout was easily accomplished by modifying the template.)

The 1999 developments were written and programmed by the previous webmaster, Arun Stephens (stephens.arun@hvhs.ac.nz).

Oh, you mean the thing we conceived over purchases from the tuck shop and canteen? :) The image gallery (with ~110 photographs) to your screen’s left was evolved from a popular random image script, which was kicked about until it worked as hoped (after the copious mods by an unofficial member of the Team). All photographs for the gallery were taken by the webmaster, Jonathan Ah Kit (ahkit.jonathan@hvhs.ac.nz).

It all started in late April, when someone played shutterbug around the school to bring you photographs in very good taste of modern day school life as Term 2 2000 unfolded. Nearly a hundred photographs, ten floppies and several late nights with Jewel’s poetry anthology a night without armour, CD audiobook edition, playing in the background later, we now have a eclectic selection for you to view.

The first set of photographs were taken over three days at the end of April and beginning of May 2000, and the second set of 41 were taken on Tuesday, 22 August 2000. There is a small third set of first decade reunion photographs from October 2000 in rotation.

More are welcome. :)

The other stuff around here

Well, you could check out the Team’s satire pages, which presently only has the one satirised treatise on the title page instructions of the Bursary English examination…(as well as a banner ad we found).
