Career & Life Connections Parent Speaker Panel

On February 4, 2019, York House School held its second Parent Speaker Series panel, developed around the theme of ‘Innovative Careers and Career Pathways’. This initiative was developed as part of our new Career & Life Connections program (CLC) at the Senior School.  

One of the goals of this year’s Career & Life Connections Parent Speaker Series is to connect our girls even more with the broad range of wonderful mentors we have within our community. Education and the world of work is changing, in part due to the rapid advancement of technology and its impact. As such, this year’s series invites students to learn about careers and career pathways they might not usually consider or even know about, under the theme of innovation.

Thank you to the following YHS parents for speaking to senior students about your innovative careers and career pathways:

  • Emily Ohler, BC Human Rights Tribunal
  • Robin Jones, Chief Marketing Officer, Payfirma
  • Danielle Wilmore, Owner/Designer, Pyrrha Jewelry
  • Rian Gauvreau, COO & Founder, Clio

Tiger Party Kudos

We would like to extend our sincere thank you to everyone that was able to come out and support the York House Tiger Party on February 8th! This important event continues to raise funds for the Tiger Scholarship that was started by an incredible group of parents nine years ago.

It was truly a magical evening filled with such positivity, generosity, and our school motto, “Not for ourselves alone.” This night would not have been possible without the tremendous support of York House parent volunteers and York House students and staff. We truly feel grateful to have been a part of the Tiger Party this year, as we made many great friends along the way that will last beyond our years at York House.

Sincerely,

Phoenix Sh & Shannon Chung (Co – Convenors 2019)
