Congratulations to our Tigers Ski Team! On March 2nd (in Fernie, BC), they were crowned the 2015-16 Alpine Ski Provincial Champions! Congratulations to Meg, Rosie, Olivia, Isabel, Lauren, Rebecca, and Catarina. A special thank you to coaches Mr. Ruse and to Mr. Dallman (Snowboarding), and thank you to parents Gillian and Russell Smith who traveled with the team.
From 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, February 27th, York House hosted over 150 debaters, judges, and volunteers from across the province, for the Jr. Provincial Debate Championships.
The feedback from the tournament was really positive with comments from judges and debaters alike about how smooth and timely everything was!
This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the following people: Nita, Kathy, Paul Sinclair and his team (of course!), Zosia, Karm, Mabel, Kara, Christine, Philip, Chris Cropley, and Shannon (for sharing the building with us despite musical rehearsals).
And the many Yorkies who donated their valuable downtime to moderate the debates and keep them flowing: Andrea, Ariel, Isobel, Angela, Catherine, Rosy, Nicole, Lucy, Taylor, and Fiona.
And last, but definitely not least, Rosa, who rocked her rounds and represented the school really well!
I want to extend my gratitude to all the teachers, staff, and students who volunteered their time to help make the debate tournament the huge success that it was!
