Fulford Debate Judges Sign Up
Please volunteer to judge at the spring Fulford League debate tournament that York is hosting on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Absolutely no experience is required to judge and you will be thoroughly briefed before the tournament begins. The Fulford League was founded in 1948 and includes independent schools from across the GTA. It is unique in that students debate with a partner from another school, whom they have not met before and only have 30 minutes to prepare with. (Seniors debate three impromptu motions and juniors debate both sides of one prepared motion and one impromptu motion.) The tournament includes students from Grades 7-12 and is focused on learning and fun. Please e-mail Rob Burkett at rburkett@yorkschool.com with any questions you may have. Thank you for supporting the York debate program - we couldn't do this without you!

Here is the schedule of events for next week including casual dress days.

York’s first student-directed and produced Musical Revue is fast approaching. Our cast and crew of students in Grades 6-11 have put months of dedicated work into this production and it will surely be an entertaining evening. A special thanks to co-directors/producers Daisy M (‘27), Beckett G (‘28) and Myah Z (‘28) for their leadership with this project!
