rbara -ZEI York-
As you read this yearbook, just imagine 50 years almost to this date, when York School began, establishing a legal entity on which to start a school in Toronto, the county of York! Interested parents and myself had gathered together in a home to discuss our desire to begin what was the first Montessori School within the boundaries ofToronto at that time. Each and every member of that first Board were involved, with setting up the constitution, arranging financial matters, searching for a site, welcoming admissions, ordering Montessori materials etc. Anticipation and excitement was high as we unpacked the materials in late August 1965 that came all the way from Holland! A day or two after Labour Day, 1965, we opened the doors in Grace Church on the Hill, which is within walking distance from the present York School site! There were 18 children in the morning and 18 in the afternoon session with a parent volunteer always in attendance. I believe that historical close connection between the school and parents has continued today and we still have a strong Board and Parents Association! In that first class there were two children, David Galbraith and Jamie Weaver whose parents would become very involved in the life of the school. Barbara Galbraith became Head of the Lower School and Dr Molly Weaver worked as our school Psychologist for many years. The school today is remarkably different in size from that first location. We can now boast about being the first full IB school in Canada and offering excellence in Coed education from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Many of you already know that I have become totally immersed in the Global Pathways School in South India. Teaching teachers and establishing an "IB like" curriculum has allowed me my dream of continuing on, in a field of education and service. The economically disadvantaged children at Global Pathways School are receiving the same fine education that exists today at York, ensuring a brighter future. You will be surprised to find out that 50 years later, Mrs. Galbraith and Dr Weaver are also still involved with a developing school, offering great expertise at GPS in their respective fields. Alii can say, is that I am very lucky to have experienced the opportunity to work in both settings. Volunteering my time at GPS has allowed me to "give back" which is an important thing to do in life ... even when you're retired!
Prindpal Welcome back to the year that was ... and what a year it was! While 2014-15 was marked outside our school walls by conflict - the rise of the lslamist State, the Ferguson race riots, the umbrella revolution in Hong Kong, terrorist attacks in Ottawa and Paris, to name but a few- inside our walls, peace reigned sup rem~. As it so happened, our students seemed to face their greatest threats while outside the school, barely escaping a hurricane during a Senior Boys Soccer tournament in Bermuda, and carefully navigating around the umbrella-toting protestors in Hong Kong during the International Independent School Public Speaking Competition. Which isn't to say that we didn't have our share of exciting moments within the walls. I certainly won't forget battling Gladla Tor in the wresting ring during United Way Week, laughing through the Senior School play, "7 Stories", or experiencing our first-ever Friday Night Lights basketball games. And what about Mini We Day, the dance/arts collective showcase "Preview", and Bring Your Game? All in all, from sea to sea and wall to wall, York School students were being what they set out to be: enaaaed citizens of the world. Thank you to editors Taylor Lau and Noah Powers for making the
Yearbooks are fixed mementos of what occurred in a school year, often focussing on general social and cultural events. Yearbooks cover what is of interest to the largest population and th ey paint the events of the year with a broad brush. (This one is terrific. A big thank you to Taylor Lau, Noah Powers and Ms. Aragona). Yearbooks don't pretend to catch everything, they intentionally have blank space and empty pages. You are encouraged to take your pen and personalize them. Make this yearbook a document that reflects your experience of these events. Make this yearbook your narrative, your story, by writing your thoughts in the margins. A good yearbook is annotated and can provide 'future you' with a gli mpse into 'current you'. That is the real power of a yearbook, its ability to capture the recent past for you to examine in the future- a time capsule. Think about putting a copy of your report card in the back of this book. It might be more interesting to you years down the road than it is today! I
In The Tempest, a play about how understanding the past is key to the present and the future, William Shakespeare wrote, " ...what's past is prologue; what to come in yours and mine discharge." This yearbook is the prologue; the story that sets the scene for future events. What next year holds is yet to be told.
What will you remember most about Middle School years? Th~ polar bear dip at camp Oochigeas, exploring Toronto's biodiverse parks, sampling Quebec City cuisine and hiking the muddy terrain of the Muskokas. Perhaps, it might be the social connections made during homeroom challenges, lunch clubs such as improv, chess, Minecraft or hanging out in the commons area. The cool learning activities may also make an imprint. Who will forget the flight unit in grade 6 science and technology, pinewood derby or food art in grade 7, or the STEM boat navigation project in grade 8? What will be the memories that you wish to forget about Middle School? Perhaps, the constant misplaced belongings, be it the laptop chargers, PE uniform, locks, or homework assignments. Maybe, the cold chairs on Monday mornings in the winter or missing out on the last pizza slice at lunch? Middle School life in and out of the classroom has been a journey of steps forward and steps backward- this we know is most important. Along this journey, we have cheered, competed, cried, laughed and loved at our many events. Thank you to our students for being open-minded, taking risks, caring for others and living the IB learner profile. Special thanks to the faculty for their ongoing commitment, support and expertise in nurturing our students to take on the journey. Congratulations to Taylor Lau and Noah Powers, yearbook editors, and their team for

The grade 6 challenge week explored the biodiversity of living things and looked into what adaptations help a species survive in various ecosystems. Every day was a new adventure, with field trips to the Evergreen Brickworks, Ripley's Aquarium, Kortright Conservation Centre and the Toronto Zoo. Students applied what they learned about adaptations to designing a new hybrid animal for an ecosystem of their choice.
Students explored the rich French-Canadian history that Quebec City has to offer through a variety of activities. The excursions allowed students to get hands-on experiences and opportunities to reflect and question the role that the geographical area played in the foundation of Canada as a country.
The grade eight students and teachers canoed at a brisk pace through the beaut} of Algonquin Park under blue skies. We camped on the picturesque shores of Tom Thompson and Teepee Lake where we were visited by moose, beaver and many loons. Students took ownership of the daily details from route planning to food prep to dishes to portaging at a speedy rate.

"Going to New York City with the school was amazing! It was a great group of students and teachers. Thanks to Mr. Noestheden and Ms. Balomenos for chaperoning! We had a great time while trying to see as much of New York as possible. We visited many museums that reflected various forms of art, including, The Guggenheim Museum, Museum of the Moving Image, The Met and MOMA. It was a fantastic trip that I will always remember!" - Emma Perlmutar-Mahoney

The grade 9 Challenge week trip offered the students an opportunity to see part of Ontario in a way that is reminiscent â&#x20AC;˘ of the Group of 7. Like the Group of 7, the students travelled to Killarney to draw and paint en plein air in order to capture the beauty of the Canadian landscape. During this amazing experience the students had the privilege of receiving instruction from two Group of 7 inspired landscape painters.

Explerring the Racl< Students toured through the various are in and around St. John's, Newfoundlanc They took part in light hikes outside of tl city, visited national monuments, museur and the science centre, attended some live music shows and visited students at a school. We also took a ferr to Belle Island.
Reac.hins the Summit The focus of the trip was not only to learn outside of the classroom, byt it gave us the opportunity to bond with each other. From high roP-es, kayaking and climbing the Chief, everybody was given the chance to grow and learn on a physical and mental level. Being on one of the more physically demanding trips really required people to have a positive mindset. Learning about development choices that Squamish is making and the impact of these choices on F-irst Nations became the focus of our documentary. - Emily Gelgoot
Jazz liraim Grade 10 students had the opportunity to travel to New Orleans to study the music and culture of the city. Performances took place throughout the French Quarter and students had the opportunity to be exposed to many different kinds of musicians. A visit to the International Heritage Festival and Preservation Hall were a few of the highlights for the group.
Resilience ef the City The World Issues trip to New Orleans focussed on investigating the recovery and resilience of the city from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Katrina. Students met with a variety of community members to seek answers. Students were exposed to the history and culture of New Orleans to gain a better appreciation of the resilience of the community.
Savaurrel Montreal A group of grade 10 students headed to the city of Montreal to explore the rich history and culture the area has to offer. Students engaged in Ia gastronomie du Quebec by attending a cooking school and learning the culinary art of Quebecois cuisine. Students also had the opportunity to tour Montreal on foot and on bicycle through tours and exploration.
Grace 10 Communication Technology students embarked on an adventure to Silicon Valley, California for this year's Challenge Week trip. Students toured the tleadquart'ers of numerous tech companies: Google, Cisco, Face book and Jabel to name a few. Other outings included a visit to Alcatraz, dinner in Chinatown, and nights spent walking along the wharf (holy, do those sea lions ev~r stink!). With perfect weather, mind-blowing tours, and amazing food, this adventure was one to be remembered for years to
Con(luerrirn~ Cancer About 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime, and about 1 in 4 Canadians will die of cance Wrth these staggering statistics in mind, grade 10 science students spent the week arming themselves wi knowledge about current research in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Students built on what the had learned about cancer cells from the biology unit and met with doctors, professors, graduate studen1 and other professionals involved in cutting edge research in Toronto. Stude'l!s viewed cancer cells under 1 microscope at Mount Sinai Hospital, extracted DNA at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and sa\ how surgical skills are taught at the Li Ka Shing Institute. They toured laboratories and had lunch with senior attending surgeons. They also learnec about how expensive cancer research is and where the man goes when it is donated. This led them to design their own fund raisers or awareness campaigns to educa others about cancer prevention.
The Grade 9 ICE students visited Chinatown, Little India and many other places around Toronto {and even Canada) to truly see what is meant by "experience teaches".
While half of the Grade 11 's worked hard to put on a "Science Showcase" for York'~ very own Grade 4's, the other half of the Grade 11 's travelled to the University of Guelph to compete in the science olympics. Great job, everyone!
Congratulations to Ms. N alan and aII the debaters on a wonderful and successful season. Well done!
Students travelled to Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA).

"To sum up the 2 weeks spent in India in a few sentences is incredi difficult, as this experience was truly one of a kind. Going into the t1 was expecting to have an impact on the lives of the children at GF but it was really them who had an impact on me. I was so fortuna to meet so many amazing kids, who made my time in India so memorable. One of my favourite memories is Dance Class, where was able to participate in traditional Indian dances with the studer in my class. India, thank you so much for the incredible experiencE - Hunter Soli
