Nora McRae Public Speaking Tournament UPDATE
We’re so proud of our Grade 6 public speakers! On April 26 they competed in the Nora McRae Public Speaking Tournament and were the first overall junior team with the highest scores. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that this is a tournament for Grade 8 to 10 students. In terms of individual achievement, each student finished with competitive scores, with Max G. winning third overall in the Interpretive Reading category, and Claire B. winning second overall in both the Interpretive Reading and After-Dinner Speech categories. The students are grateful for the help of the Grade 11 debate captains Zach, Elizabeth, Izzy and Charlotte, as well as other senior debate team members who took time out of their lunch hours to help them prepare for the tournament.
Athletics
Challenge Week is approaching next week and TYS continues to meet and rise above all challenges in the Arena of Sport! Our Junior, Middle and Senior School Athletes were all competing this week, while our Ultimate Frisbee teams took the field at both De La Salle and Toronto French!
As we approach the end of the TYS Athletic Year, many of you may have set goals or may set new goals in sport, school, and life!
Below is an interesting TED talk given by former NFL player Emmanuel Acho who gives an interesting perspective on goal-setting:
Have an amazing weekend!
