The Horizon (School Newsletter)

Read the latest issue of The Horizon to keep up with YCKSS students' experiences, events, and reflections each semester.

Last updated on 1 October 2026

The Horizon is published twice a year, one for each semester. It features events big and small that students participate in. Students’ reflections of their learning and challenges are also documented. The photographs capture students in action and their joy in learning both in and out of school. Sometimes, the students are the guest writers of the articles. Don't miss out our issues each semester to be kept informed on what YCKSS students experience in school.
