Pajama parties, treats, Christmas movies, dancing and lots of caroling marked the end of Term 2, and the start of the Winter Break. The last day is always a fun one!

At the Junior School assembly, the teachers planned a dance routine to “Deck the Rooftop” from the Glee Christmas album, and jumped up in the aisles to perform it “flash mob” style. The girls loved it! For the finale, the teachers came up on stage and taught the girls the dance moves so they could join in. The girls also performed their own routine to a French Christmas song. Watch the video clips:

The Senior School began their assembly with the lighting of four candles, a poem reading, as well as a Christmas reading by Mr. Scott Robertson, followed by the grad song and caroling.

See you January 9, 2012!

On Tuesday, December 13, the York House community came together at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, for the annual Celebration of Community.

The program featured performances from both our junior and senior students, including the “Yule Faerie Tale” presented by Gr. 1-6. Ms. Ruddy, Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Kealey participated in the performance.

The afternoon was interspersed with poems, as well as carols sung by the entire community, including Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, and Silent Night… putting everyone in the Christmas spirit.

The program concluded with the senior part of the program: the flute choirs, Ragazza, Una Voce and the Senior Concert Band.
