Our Grade 7s formally graduated from the Junior School on Tuesday, June 21. Following the ceremony, there was a reception with refreshments and a “photo booth”. The festivities continued in the afternoon with pizza, a dance-off with the Grade 6s, and California kickball.
Congrats, Grade 7s! You’ve been amazing leaders for the Junior School. Onwards and upwards…to Grade 8 and the Senior School!
Our first large in-person event since the start of the pandemic did not disappoint. On June 3rd, we welcomed over 600 parents, staff, students, alumnae, and special guests to our YHS Spring Carnival where we were able to say thank you and farewell to Madame Julie Rousseau, Head of School. Lauren Tse, Class of 2021 and former Head Student, gave a heartfelt speech about Mme Rousseau’s leadership of the school and her role as mentor to Lauren and so many other students during the time of her leadership. The Senior Choir, led by Music Teacher Benila Ninan, performed Billy Joe’s hit “For the Longest Time” in tribute to Mme Rousseau. Complete with jugglers, a stilt walker, two bouncy castles and other fun games, there was no better way to say goodbye to our fun-loving Mme Rousseau! She will be greatly missed.
