Students of Yorkland High School gathered together for a special Christmas Breakfast on Friday, December 16th, as this was the last day before the 3-week holiday break. This also marks the last class of 2016, and as we reflect, 2016 was a year full of growth, hard work, dedication and of course FUN!

Blue Mountain Field Trip

On Tuesday October 3rd Yorkland High School had the opportunity to visit Scenic Caves in Blue Mountain, and it proved to be an unforgettable experience. We aim to promote an inclusive student environment that is also an enjoyable experience, as we believe that this maximizes learning. We are proud to share all our wonderful memories from this year’s trip with you.

     Yorkland Highschool is not only focused on our students’ academic performance, but on their mental health. In order to do this we host various activities outside of classroom to relieve stress and become more engaged in the world around them. We take the opportunity to step out of our classroom, explore our surroundings, and get involved in the wonderful natural environment which Canada has to offer!

     Whether it’s getting closer with our crew, or meeting with other classmates, friendship is the best ship! This philosophy is something we take pride in practicing on a regular basis, and has become a foundation of our school’s community culture. We’re providing plenty of opportunities to let students and staff get to know each other, as a sense of belonging is something we consider to be one of our school’s most valuable foundational principles.

Through field trip participation, we aim to foster a confident sense of independence within our students along with a strong sense of initiative. These are characteristics that we believe must be developed not only through theoretical study in the classroom, but practically through opportunities built by experiential learning. Students had the opportunity to do this during the trip by leading themselves through decision making and problem solving with our crew member’s support and encouragement.

Yorkland Highschool isn’t like other campuses, which you just come for a lecture then go home. There is so much more to visit and explore! Our campus is a place students want to hang out at and stay.
