Grade 9’s Vanessa, Nikki, Carman and Annette (captain), formed the Young Superhero team “Not For Ourselves Alone” to help raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital.

Their team was the top fundraising team of the 2010 Young Superhero campaign.

Operation Superhero raises funds for the $500 million expansion project of the BC Children’s Hospital. It was established by Chinese Canadians to raise $5 million dollars over a three-year period.

The girls were recognized in the December 17th edition of the Ming Pao newspaper (pictured).

Sr. Tigers Take Las Vegas Invitational Title

The Sr. Tigers Basketball Team travelled to Las Vegas, Nevada over the winter break to take part in the Las Vegas Invitational at Mountain View Christian Secondary. The Tigers started off with an easy win over River Valley of Arizona. In game two, the Tigers defeated the host school, Mountain View Christian. In the semi-final game, the Tigers played Chadwick, a prominant private school from the Los Angeles area. In a battle that game down to the final minutes, the Tigers held on for a 3pt win.  In the final, York House took on Gig Harbour of Washington. Again, the Tigers built a small lead and held off a late Gig Harbour run to win the 16 team tournament.

The Tigers were led by Alisha who was named tournament MVP.
