MESSAGE FROM STRUAN ROBERTSON, HEAD OF SCHOOL
Athletics
Last week, our Varsity Boys Volleyball team had its best finish ever at the pre-season Marauder Cup at McMaster. This past weekend, we hosted an amazing basketball clinic with NBA skills coach David Nurse for the 10th year, and our Co-Ed X-Country team enjoyed a great day competing in the Harrier Classic at Trinity College. We are in full swing, and multiple teams start their season next week.
Our program is world-class and our students benefit from great teachers and community coaching gems. I want to take a moment to showcase the community coaches at the York School this term:
Octavian Ghidanac via North Toronto Soccer - U10 Co-Ed Soccer
Faris Burhan via Moredale Soccer - U11 Co-Ed Soccer
Ben White via TMU Varsity Basketball - Varsity and U11 Girls Basketball
Raysean Joseph via TMU Varsity Basketball - U12 Girls Basketball
Moses Aidoo via U of T Track and Field - U12/U14 Co-ed XCountry
Thalia Wright via Under Armour Flag Football - Grade 3-5 Flag Football
Coach Abe Shah via U of T Flag Football - Varsity Boys Flag Football
Matthew Perovic via Cherry Beach SC - Varsity Boys Soccer
Lastly, mindset is widely recognized as a skill that can be developed, and one of the leaders in this field is Jim Kwik. I invite you to watch this video featuring Jim Kwik and Emmanuel Acho, titled Don’t let your goals hold you back: Don't Let your Goals Hold you Back
The start of the year has been amazing! I know we will keep going!
