DECADE EIGHT: The Nineties
__________________________

Facts & Figures...
Although traditions are maintained, Port Credit changes with the times. Students approach the Year 2000 with renewed political and social awareness. Spirit Week and Niner Night are still autumn highlights; the Athletic Council hosts the Sadie Hawkins Dance; music fills the auditorium for concerts in winter and spring, and every day the hallway rush between classes is inevitable. But new classes such as World Issues, Science and Technology, Peer Tutoring, Parenting and the Pacific Rim provide students with new insights into their world.
Before long, the 1200 students at P.C.S.S. begin to act on their beliefs. Chapters of Students
against Drunk Driving and Amnesty International open. The Multicultural Club, and later "United Colours" bring together students from over 25 countries and help new members of the community
overcome language barriers. Learning more about each other, club members prove that friendship
is a universal language. Under the umbrella of "Project Earth" young environmental activists point
out ways to be better stewards of the planet. Black History Month, culminating in an hour-long
assembly, gives students a fresh perspective on a history which has often been overlooked.
The school paper gets a face-Iift and a new name. Changes, however, are not merely cosmetic.
From its first issue, The Rumour features editorials questioning municipal politics, censorship in
the media, political correctness and school board policies alongside articles highlighting P.C.S.S.
events.
Student reporters can't compete with professional coverage, however, as the school makes the front pages of the Globe, Star and Sun, and the 6:00 news on CBC, CTV, Global and CITY-TV on January 31,1994. Prime Minister Jean Chretien comes to visit- his first official trip to any high school in the country- and P.C.S.S. basks in a national spotlight!
