2025 Student Leadership
It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again! The year 5 students are buzzing with excitement as they prepare for the formal student leadership positions for 2025. Year 5 students this week met with Miss Kirk for a leadership orientation session, and will be nominating for formal leadership positions over the coming weeks. For more information on the student leadership nomination processes, please see the student handbook. Click below for the Student Handbook (PDF).
2025 Senior Shirt Designs
Year 5 students have also started their senior shirt design for 2025. Students have begun collaborating on symbols and text that represent what is important to us here at YSS. Students will be busy designing their shirts over the next 2 weeks, and then will design a fair voting system to determine the final design for next year. We’re excited to see the creative designs!
