Spirit Week in the Senior School

The week before Spring Break, the Senior School amps up their ‘school spirit’ with a week filled with activities organized by the House Captains. The girls did a great job this year!

Monday: Civvies Day in support of WaterCan, a Canadian charity that is dedicated to fighting global poverty by providing access to clean water and sanitation for all. The weather was also perfect for a water relay on the field. This involved teams from each house carry a large tub of water around obstacles on the field.

Tuesday: House Breakfast and Pyjama Day, and dodgeball at lunch. Yorkies and teachers got in the spirit wearing their most comfy PJs…there were lots of onesies!
