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.

Tigers Off to a Great Start

In sports, our Tigers are off to a great start this year. The field hockey team won three of their matches 7-0, 1-0, and 2-1 against teams from the interior. They finished 7th overall in a tournament with many AAA squads present. The volleyball team finished off the week well, defeating Notre Dame for a 3rd straight time. Coach Ruse has been extremely pleased with the consistent contributions from all 14 team members. This Monday is the first home game of the season. Come out and cheer our girls on (4PM).
