This year the Grade 12 Communication Technology class created a ‘Green Wall’ outlining all the Environmental and Green Initiatives the YMCA Academy participated in. Check out some great student work at the Greening the Y Blog.
Graduation and End of Year
Our annual YMCA Academy Graduation and End of Year Celebration was a huge success! The food spread was amazing, the decorations were spectacular and the energy and excitement was fantastic. A highlight of the evening was the Academy’s first ever “dance”, a dream that was set to motion by our student Dakota, which featured the acclaimed DJ El Machetero on the turntables. Congratulations to Cato, Jamie, Tristan, Joseph, Hannah and Lexie, our Values Awards winners; Yasin, the winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Volunteering and Alex, the YMCA Academy Community Involvement Award. And of course, we would like to extend a huge congratulations to our graduates, Ahmed, Yasin, Alex, Diana and Michael. We wish you all the best in your future, and hope you come back to visit often!

June 20th, 2013 – The Breakfast Club Play
Five teenagers find themselves in the library of their high school, serving a Saturday morning detention for a variety of things they’ve done wrong. At first, they think they have nothing in common with each other, but they find out quickly that they were wrong. The grade 10 drama class presented a version of John Hughes’ classic 1980’s film “The Breakfast Club” to a large audience of family, friends and fans for their final project. Congratulations to all of the actors for putting on a fine show!

April 8th, 2013 – Black History Month Project
Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. Rosa Parks. Robert Johnson. Three African American people who have contributed to society and the world in positive ways were celebrated yesterday in the YMCA Academy’s drama class production of The Black History Month Project. Students performed a tableau and mime play that depicted pivotal events in the lives of the middleweight champion boxer, the civil rights activist and the blues musician. Our fourth floor shared space was transformed into a theatre complete with black backdrop and lighting. Our performance was a success! We might take it on the road : )
