School AnthemI to the hills will lift mine eyes, from whence doth come mine aid. My safety cometh from the Lord, who heav'n and earth hath made. Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will he slumber that thee keeps. Behold, he that keeps Israel, he slumbers not, nor sleeps. The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade on thy right hand doth stay: The moon by night thee shall not smite, nor yet the sun by day. The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall preserve thee from all ill. Henceforth thy going out and in God keep for ever will. I to the Hills, tune or Tune. Sung here I to the hills. School songStrong as the eagles that master the sky Firm as our mountains, never to die Oh Hillview High we salute your name Proudly then we will sing about your fame Then to the hills, We'll lift our eyes Steadfast and striving for the prize We are committed to finish this race Winning's our aim losing's no disgrace Using our potential is what its all about So from the stands you will hear us shout: Go Hillview Go! You're going to win! Come on Hillview you're nearly in!
