We talk about how hard work and persistence paid off even though she had to take her coursework online during the pandemic. Dayanara went from workin...
From the first sketch we saw coming from Han, we knew she was talented. Over the five years she's been at Delview, she's participated in many Fine Arts Nights, and has produced posters, logos, book covers, social media art, and plenty of whiteboard masterpieces that were painful to erase. She has been practicing for a long time and hopes to continue creating and sharing her art in some form or another into the future. In th...

We also discuss the concerns we all have as we ex...
Diane has always been an amazingly positive and kind person, but when cancer struck her just a few days into the start of the school year in 2021, she showed everyone what “making the best of it” truly means. In this episode, Diane takes us into the world of Pokémon and anime, travelling, and the tribulations and ultimate triumph over Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Around these parts, we call her “Cancer Killer” and we hope her story of posit...
In this episode we chat with Delview student, Akari Ishige, who is from Tokyo Japan. She’s one of our International Students and someone we’ve come to know very well here at Delview with her involvement in everything our school has to offer from her Live At Lunch performances as a singer and pianist to Drama productions including "Urinetown The Musical" which showing now in our Patti Hillman Theatre!
I taught Akari web design and p...
Nancy's retiring! Our Assistant Superintendent and educator of 42 years, Nancy Gordon, came in to talk to us not once, but twice. Unfortunately, for the first time ever on the podcast, the audio file corrupted and Nancy graciously offered to come back for a redo, this time with multiple backups. Mark Turpin and I ask her about her career, legacy, and also what it was like being the parent of a student who graduated from Delview. Na...
Mr. Sahli and I speak to the very talented Kaydee Deane about Radiohead, violin, guitar, and her Live At Lunch performances at our school. We talk a lot about music we like and how to deal with nerves before performing for an audience. Music has taken Kaydee on a path that she loves and we will be hearing more from her in the near future!
Who doesn't love Mr. Sahli? You'll love him even more after you listen to him talk about his interests in music, sports, and how he got into teaching. Besides being a really nice person and a talented teacher, Mr. Sahli loves collecting records and playing the drums. After many episodes of him as a co-host, it was about time we had a chat just about him!
Alexa tells us more than the latest weather or sports scores (she's never heard that one). She talks about how a knee injury changed her life, growing up in North Delta, and what it's like to be graduating high school. We get into sports, Formula 1 racing, driving, and much more. Ms. Hanson joins us for this chat with the ever positive Alexa Liptak. Episode somewhat sponsored by Forte Physiotherapy please.
Delview teacher Dave Yuill tells us some stories about growing up as an army brat, his own time in the military, his business experience, the pharmaceutical industry, and how all of that lead to him finally becoming a teacher with a ton of life experience to share with others. The man has so many stories that he could have his own podcast! Mr. Turpin joins us for this episode.
After a long pandemic hiatus, we are back! We talk to Marten and Nele, two of our International Students from Germany. They discuss their experiences growing up in Germany and about what surprised them when they arrived in Canada for the first time. Both Marten from Hamburg and Nele from a town near Frankfurt have been wonderful additions to our school and throughout the interview I was impressed by how well-adjusted they were for ...
Grad 2008 and Embedded Engineer Edwin Chand talks about the challenges and rewards of his career at Apple, how he got there after going through SFU Engineering and Blackberry, and the most important ingredients for success in any endeavour. Edwin also talks about how his family immigrated from Fiji and the challenges of becoming Canadians. This episode was recorded on Zoom and the video version has been published on the Delview You...
Aleysha Johnson, Grad 2018, model, actor, and activist joins us after famously trolling the President of the United States by posting a video on Tik Tok showing how easy it was for her to reserve free tickets to the Tulsa Oklahoma rally and not show up (she was busy organizing lint from her carpet). We got in touch when I spotted her on a Late Show with Stephen Colbert segment about the Oklahoma rally. We also discuss how she has d...
