York House Alumnae
Thank you to our House Captains for modelling our Thank you to our House Captains for modelling our new House shirts! We hope that our new house names will foster feelings of connection, groundedness, and meaning for our York House School community for years to come. Our House colours will serve as a bridge, connecting generations past, present, and future: Maple House is red. Arbutus House is blue. Pine House is green. Cypress House is gold. We wish to thank the many members of our community whose creative ideas and suggestions contributed immensely to a rich and consultative naming process. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›โค๏ธ #myYHS #YHSAlum
Our New YHS House Names. In June, we shared that Y Our New YHS House Names. In June, we shared that York House School has selected new names for the YHS House system. We are pleased to share with you a video and the logos that capture the spirit of these House names and their significance for us as a community. Through an inclusive and consultative process, students, staff, faculty, and alumnae chose the names Pine, Arbutus, Cypress, and Maple. These are tree-named streets that connect our Little, Junior, and Senior School campuses. As a school, we are inspired to have names that root us in this place and location. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›โค๏ธ #myYHS #YHSAlum
After a thorough process involving 150 name sugges After a thorough process involving 150 name suggestions, more than 1200 survey responses, input from students, faculty, staff, and alumnae, and the guidance of the House Names Advisory Group, the new YHS House names will be: Arbutus, Cypress, Maple, and Pine. Arbutus is blue. Cypress is yellow. Maple is red. Pine is green. Read the announcement at yorkhouse.ca/housenames. In the fall, we look forward to coming together to explore the significance of these new House names, share the rationale behind their adoption and discuss ways to incorporate them into our House celebrations and activities. This should also be very meaningful and exciting as the 2021-22 school year begins! #myYHS #YHSAlum ๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š
