Jr. Swim Team Season Ends with a Splash

Screen Shot 2015-02-27 at 12.05.52 PMOur Junior School Swim team season has ended with a splash! Each Monday and Wednesday morning, our team met early in the morning to brave the cold water in St. George’s pool.

Throughout the season, our team competed in the St. George’s invitational meet (early December), the Southpointe Meet at Watermania (early February) and the ISEA championship at UBC (late February). To end our season, the girls participated in a Swim-a-Thon fundraiser (for Cystic Fibrosis) hosted by Christine (Gr. 11), one of our incredible student coaches. The other student coaches were: Melinda, Gr. 10; Alicia, Gr. 11; and Elizabeth, Gr. 11. The team’s teacher coaches were Nathan Moens, Danielle Neer and Carly Trinder.

Thanks to our dedicated swimmers and congratulations for a spectacular season! Your efforts in the Swim-a-Thon modelled our school motto Not for Ourselves Alone.

Tiger Party: Thank You

Thank you everyone for helping and participating at this year’s Tiger Party — you made a difference. We raised more than $100,000 this year that will go directly towards the Tiger Scholarship Fund.

Over 300 parents and children attended this very remarkable evening. Thank you to all of the volunteers, and our entertainers for the evening — performers from our very own talented Yorkie community. This event would not happen without you. A big thank you to the emcees Jacquie, Jing & Chao.
