2025 ROBOCUP COMPETITION UPDATE
Yesterday, the York Senior Robotics team went to St. Andrews College in Aurora, ON for the GTA Robocup Tournament. There were dozens of teams from 10 different schools. There were contests in three categories, Rescue Line Following, Rescue Maze and Robo Soccer. RoboGladiators #1 (Yamini Q., Anh N. and Rocky P.) placed third in the Rescue Line Following Category!
DECA tournament UPDATE
During the month of March, Grade 11 students Beckett Y. and Charlotte B. took part in the UC Berkeley Ascend Stock Pitch Competition. Students were provided with an investment goal and required to analyze and choose a stock to meet that goal. Charlotte and Beckett's pitch was judged to be the top Canadian entry in the competition. Congratulations to them both!
STUDENT LIFE AND BELONGING
ECO WEEK - APRIL 14 - 17
Please join our Eco Team student leaders in making sustainable choices throughout Eco Week!
Every day, we are encouraging students and staff to remember the ABC’s and arrive at school in Anything But a Car! Walk, TTC, Bike, Scooter, Skate…let’s reduce our carbon footprint for the week.
Every day, students and staff are also reminded to bring a reusable water bottle or mug and to contribute a house-coloured dot to the Collective Action Wall in the Learning Commons when they make a choice to reduce their waste and impact on the environment.
Students who want to participate in Thursday’s Community Clean Up should sign up with Ms G or Ms Johannsen using the google form that was emailed to them.
We are looking forward to keeping York green next week!
