Basketball Season in Full Swing

Gr. 8 Basketball Team — The Gr. 8 Basketball team takes a break from the Capilano U Tournament in North Vancouver.

This past week was a busy one. Basketball season got back into full swing and the Tigers are off to a good start.

The Seniors started with a split – handily beating Burnaby Mountain, but coming up a little short against AAA MEI. Congrats to Emma, who received a Telus Classic Scholarship this weekend at the Telus Classic Tournament.

The Juniors are 1-0 on the season, taking their first points from CHS this past week, and the Grade 8s charged forward to a 4-1 start. The 8s placed 3rd in the top gold division at the Capilano U tournament, beating Handsworth and Earl Marriott. The only loss they had was to the tournament champions, a club team from tri-cities.

Japanese Students Visit YHS

On Tuesday, December 3rd, our Globe Leaders Group hosted 24 high school students from Morioka University High School, Morioka, Japan.

The students enjoyed a tour of the school, and had a chance to connect with Yorkies over the lunch hour. Tables were set up in the foyer with activities and games arranged by the Japanese students, which proved to be an excellent ice breaker. See our Yorkies trying to master chopsticks, origami, and more, in these photos.
