Category: Senior School

“There’s something just not right about a school without kids” said Ms. Ruddy and she welcomed back senior students at the first assembly of the school year. It’s only been two days and we’ve all gotten back in the swing of things – from assembly, fire drills, volleyball tryouts to Sports-a-Rama.

The first day is always exciting. Catching up with old friends (students and parents alike), and making new ones. Finding out who’s in your class and who isn’t (some sad faces), and what your new teachers are like.

Mr. Johnston left us with a great message at the end of assembly:
“Have a great year, try new things, and don’t be afraid to fail.”

Enjoy it while it lasts. We’ll be saying goodbye to another school year before you know it!

Check out the slideshow from the first day of school:

We’re gearing up for back to school!

New Senior School students were in today for orientation. They had the chance to meet their homeroom teachers, and received their locks, agendas and schedules. With their schedules in hand they toured the campus and found the location of their classes…. all which will help with first day jitters!

The Student Exec also planned a few “Welcome to YHS” activities that included a stop in at the archives for a quick look at YHS history with Archivist Susannah Smith (drop by if you haven’t already!).

We’ll see the rest of you tomorrow!

Are You Ready?

• Make sure to review the traffic ins and outs around the school. You don’t want to get caught up in a traffic jam! Read the Traffic Protocol.

• Confused about the senior school schedule for the first two days? Login to myYHS and read the Back to School Info under ‘announcements’. Don’t forget it’s Sports-o-Rama on Friday afternoon, so bring your house colours and your spirit!

• P.S. Don’t forget your blazers!
