YHS Talks: Students Share Their Personal Stories

On Friday, November 30, in our first YHS Talks of the year, four students shared their personal stories. Amneet, Grade 11, shared the importance of being inclusive; Layla, in Grade 8, made all of us laugh with her stories of cats and culture living in Dubai; Fiona, Grade 12, informed our community on the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes; and Justine, Grade 11, told us to “Just do it!” when determining what path you want to follow in life. We are looking forward to the next YHS Talks on Friday, March 1. 

Grades 4 & 5 Compete in Speech Competition

Our Grade 4 and 5 students participated in a speech competition at Crofton House on April 26. The girls did a fantastic job under pressure. There were so many great speeches and our girls represented YHS wonderfully! Arina got first place in Grade 4, and Raniya got first in Grade 5.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped the Grade 4 and 5s get ready for the competition!
