Clubs Day

Clubs Day is always busy at York House, and this Tuesday was no exception.

We had over 25 club booths in the foyer, from Social Enterprise Club to Ukulele and Guitar Club! Clubs Day is a day where the true diversity and colors of the students get to shine through, as most of the clubs are formed and organized by the students.

The girls get to wander through the booths and sign up for the clubs that pique their interests, and have discussions with the student leaders of the clubs. Its a great way for new and old students to reacquaint themselves with the opportunities presented to them, or maybe to try something new! It reminds us of the York House mission, not only academic excellence but pursuing your passions.

We Love our New Building

Yorkies are making themselves at home in the new Sr. Building.

Here’s some of the girls enjoying the lounge areas – for clubs, homework or eating lunch. School Reach Trivia has been using the media lounge during the lunch hour – no more sitting on the floor in the science wing!

Mr. Ruse put the Sr. Volleyball team through drills on Wednesday night. I’m sure the girls are very happy for that grand staircase. Well, at least there is no more trekking out to UBC for stairs!

And finally, here are some of our younger Yorkies checking out the names on the glass panels. The glass panels around the staircase spotlight 102 notable or inspirational women, both past and present, as well as YHS alums, honourary alumnae, the seven Founders of YHS and all our current students.
