Senior Music Concerts

Music Concert: Full Bloom
On May 29, our senior students put on an outstanding show for our annual year-end music concert. The concert featured Grade 7, Grade 8, and Senior Band, as well as the Grade 7 Choir, Chorista (Senior Choir), and Ragazza (Senior Vocal Jazz Ensemble).

The choirs and bands did an outstanding job! The auditorium was filled to capacity and our community enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with incredible musical and choral performances.

This evening was particularly special and meaningful for our Grade 12s as this was their final concert in their high school careers. They have come in for classes many early mornings over the last five years and have spent countless hours practising.

All our Yorkies radiated with joy as they performed and their families were extremely proud of their accomplishments. What a great evening it was! Watch the performances in the playlist below.

Music from the Underground
On April 23, The York House Music Department held an intimate evening of music featuring our jazz band, and Ragazza, our senior vocal jazz group. Watch the performances below.

Two incredible evenings of music! Congratulations to our Music Heads and thank you to Dawn Haylett, Benila Ninan, and Ellie Froese for their incredible dedication, hard work, and passion for our music program. Well done everyone!

Junior School Sports Day: Fill Your Bucket

On June 11, the 2019 Junior School Sports Day brought soaring temperatures and oodles of energy to the YHS campus. This year’s edition, “Fill Your Bucket”, was yet again a fun-filled afternoon. Sports Day is a relay-based event, with 40 teams rotating around 10 different stations. The language of bucket filling has become synonymous with being kind and thoughtful. All of the relay stations were built around the bucket filling theme.

As part of Sports Day, each student was asked to bring two items: 1) a $1 or $2 coin, and 2) a can of hearty stew or chilli to be donated during one of the ten Sports Day stations. The funds and food are for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank as summertime is actually the most challenging season for families in need of food support. Kids are out of school and families can no longer rely on the breakfast and lunch programs in school for the summer. Through the “Fill Your Bucket” Sports Day we donated 260 pounds of food and $448 to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
