PERSPECTIVE 2003-2004 ----

This Yearbook is really just a Memmy Bank. . . something you can return to, re-read and conjure up wonderful memories of your years at The York School. This year, each class, from The Early Years to Grade Eight has had some marvelous events such as the Lip Sync contest, the Junior Plays, the Guild Fun Fair, Mansfield, the Quebec trip, Oochathon, Halloween, Shakespeare Day, Science Fair and the PYP Exhibition etc. etc. This edition is crammed full of memories. Many thanks to the yearbook staff headed up by Mme. Almeida and suppmted by Ms. Hickman, Mrs. Bell, Ms. Bauld and Mr. Snow. Enjoy!! Barbara Goodwin-Zeibots Head 2

As always, York's students and staff eagerly await the arrival of the latest "Perspective" and we are never disappointed. None of us can ever begin to remember a year's worth of activities anywhere, let alone at a school as busy and as creative as York. Take a morning or an afternoon, pull all of the "Perspectives" off the bookshelf and enjoy the memories. Many, many thanks to Katherine Almeida and to Gill Hickman for preserving the year so superbly! Marilyn Andrews Admissions

Glebe At Play

The Lower School Grades 1 to 6 As part of their math programme the grade one students informed us that on February 16th we will reach our lOQth school day and they plan to celebrate that day! As always, life

at The York School continues to be busy and eventful and we have much to celebrate. One year has passed since we became authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Primaty Years Programme and, as I said at the time, this is not an end, but an incentive to keep moving forward in our teaching and learning. In September we began a collaborative five year programme with Dr. Barrie Bennett from OISE/ UT exploring the concept of Instructional Intelligence strategies in order to enhance and increase teaching skills in the classroom. This involves planning instruction to include multiple intelligences and taking into account different learning styles in order to teach more effectively. Evidence of this can be seen in the classrooms as teachers work with graphic organizers, concept attainment and collaborative learning. Also in September, the grade one teachers, aided by Pat ]erred our curriculum director who had done the initial research, statted piloting a new math programme Everyday Math, which focusses on understanding and exploration of concepts through concrete materials, and on problem solving and critical thinking. It has been so successful with the grade one classes that we plan to extend it through to grade six next year, holding a training session for teachers in August. In February we had Andrea Rossinger an IBPYP trainer from Frankfutt International School, Germany give a workshop to Lower School Faculty on Assessment and Pottfolios. This was vety he! pful and you will see the results in some of the changes we make for the Student Led Conferences in April. Two teachers are attending n IBPYP workshop in Halifax in March and some teachers will also attend IPBYP workshops in June. Right now the grade one to four students under the expert guidance of Mrs. Yorke are excitedly preparing for the drama production to be help on February 24th. It promises to be a great event. The grade six students are statting to think ahead to the PYP Exhibition to be held June 4th on the theme Global migration affects us all. Last years exhibition was informative, vibrant and exciting. This year we will incorporate suggestions and improvements into the planning of the exhibition as we continue to learn more about the process of inquity and collaboration and help our students to become life-long learners. The grade fives are busy getting to know their intergenerational pen-pals and planning their "not to be missed" concett in May. So, our learning progresses and the openness and involvement of the faculty in these various projects continues to make York the dynamic and creative place it is for both teachers and students.

The Middle School As you glance through the pages of the yearbook, you will see numerous pictures of the Middle School students involved in their classes, patticipating in extra curricular activities and enjoying school events that took place in the 2003/ 2004 school year. It was a busy and exciting fall term starting with the three day leadership and team building experience at Camp Kandalore for the grade sevens, the introduction of the IB Middle Years Programme, and United Way Week. Once again, a vety successful music afternoon was held in early December. January was the girls' basketball tournament in Montreal and Februaty meant the annual Middle School downhill ski day at Horseshoe Valley as well as the boys' basketball tournament in Vancouver. Just before March break, the Middle School students and teachers were all invited to share in the celebration of the third annual grade eight Shakespeare Day. April brought with it The York School's first Poetly Day, our annual Oochathon, studentled conferences and Earth Day celebrations. This year the grade eights travelled to Quebec City in the second week of May. They were able to experience a little French Canadian culture while using their French speaking skills that they had been practising all year! The grade eight students also had a chance to demonstrate the skills they acquired in the Middle School science programme with their patticipation in the Science Fair at the end of May. The spring term was filled with many a1tistic and athletic activities including the Alt and Music Night, York School's participation in the Independent Schools' Music Festival, the grade seven Cannes Film Festival, the Athletic Banquet, outing day, and sp01ts day. The grade eight House Captains, Sally Engelhart, Becky Organ, Scott Fletcher, Ava Tzankova, Andrew Cooper, Al路ielle Kaplan, Sammy Boggs and Zac Watson, were vety enthusiastic and extremely responsible in fulfilling their duties this year and have raised the spirit level at York by organizing special events, having House assemblies, cheer-offs, and House Challenges. The House points' board located in the south link just outside the gym offices enabled all students to keep a close eye on how their House was faring and created excitement for the students as the Houses vied for first place and the House Cup. This year the four members of the Spotts and Social Council, Devon Howard, Tara Lengyel, Pradeep Sukumar, and Hannah Tolkin, organized a lunch time intramural House league in the gym as well as dances and other social events for the Middle School sn1dents. Over the course of the school year, the Middle School teachers were actively involved in implementing a research in action project with Barrie Bennett and OISE. The focus was on instructional intelligences and strategies to enhance the sn1dents' learning environment. As an MYP candidate school, the Middle School teachers and students were actively engaged in their learning using the areas of interaction as a way to focus and integrate their experiences in the various subject disciplines. I want to thank the Middle School faculty and students for a wonderful 2003/ 2004 school year. Sincerely, Susan Charron

year at The York School ha~ been very enlightening. I have learned new things and applied new ~kills . My new ~kills will help me along the path of life and I think that I will keep them forever. York i~ a great place to make friends and I hope that I will have them for the rest of my life.

I've only Ma rted York last year and already I've accomplibhed so much. I've been to Kandalore for 3 days (I sprained my ankle because I'm clumsy and fancied jumping on a sntmp) and I tried snowboarding at Mount St. Louis (I think I broke my tailbone). This year I attempted skiing and I've found it a lot easier (I don't fall as much). I've had countless laugh attacks both year~ with my friends.

I came to York in grade 7. Over the past two years at York, there have been good times and bad. York has been much more challenging academically compared to my earlier years of school. However, I think after going to York I have become much more knowledgeable about the world around me.

I have only spent half the year at York, but I have had a really great year and am looking forward to another. I've learned a lot and met a lot of new people. Hope to see you all next year.

I have been at York for seven years. Over these years I have made many friends and had many great times in and out of school. I feel like I live here and know every inch of the school. I have enjoyed playing sports, which are extremely fun to play on and help us learn new skills. Thank you to all teacher~ for being very nice and insightful.

6 years at York and now I am off to explore new horizons, to see the real world, to learn and srudy, to boldly go where I have not gone before. I am off to high school to learn, to be ~chooled and to become a better person. I won't look back. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Cameron Woodard Umm .. . Hello? This is a grad comment but really this graduation is no different from a graduation between grades 2 & 3. Anyway, my name is Cam. I like to eat poutine and ski. I've had a pretty good year so far, I guess. And thank to my friends for, like, being friends, and to teachers for, like, the teaching and sruff. And remember, always line-up alphabetically by height. Bye
