  • Newsletter Feb 2018.Pdf
    Suelyn Cheong, Principal Website www.yrdsb.ca/schools/unionville.hs April 2018 Accomplishments, Challenges and Success As Principal of Unionville High School, I’m excited to co-learn with the community, students, and staff. I am over- whelmed by our students’ desire to innovate, create, and achieve over the past semester. We have over 40 clubs cre- ated and run by our student body, and an energetic Student Council always eager to build school spirit and provide students with opportunities to have fun and get involved! Some of these activities include spirit days, fashion shows, drama and music productions, fundraising and awareness to our most pressing world issues. The Arts Unionville staff continues to grow our dynamic program with pioneering opportunities for our AU students to showcase their artistry. Exceptional student performances that parallel Broadway productions included: “Crazy for You” in January and “Alchemy” in March, which is a collaboration of all four disciplines. Our Music department participated in over a dozen local and provincial music festi- vals between February and April! This Spring UHS embarked upon Wellness Wednesdays with St. John’s Ambulance therapy dogs and by the Buddha Meditation Center offering student meditation sessions on love and kindness. Our students work hard and we are excited to offer them a chance to relax and be mindful of their mental and physical health. UHS students continue to excel in both the academics and extracurricular areas. This year, our Senior Girls Volleyball Team attended OFSSA for a second year in a row and won YRAA silver medalists. Congratulations to Nick Lu and Sabrina Lu who were voted as YRAA All Stars for volleyball.
