Huge congrats to the cast and crew of Clue—what a spectacular run! Also, our gratitude to the staff and students who participated in the Lunar New Year Prayers this week. It was great to have so many families join us to celebrate. It’s been a high-energy week, and the momentum isn’t slowing down. Between the upcoming Spring Music Night at Koerner Hall and our athletes fighting for CISAA titles, our calendar is officially packed.
We want to wish our Grade 8 and 10 students who left on exchange, safe travels and many happy adventures. We also want to wish our rowers safe travels as they head off to Tennessee for rowing camp! It’s a true testament to how engaged and multi-talented our students are. Let’s bring that same energy into this final stretch before a well-deserved March break!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Krista, Cissy and Deirdre

March Report Cards
March report cards will be available on Wednesday, March 4, at 4 pm.
They represent a snapshot of a student’s achievements, progress, and areas for growth at this point in the academic year. The objective of a report card is to communicate what a student has learned and how she is developing as a learner across each discipline. Partnership between Havergal and parents is key to student success. We encourage you to take time to review the report card, discuss it with your child, and identify any key themes or questions you might have. If you have any questions about specific courses, please reach out directly to the teacher; they are eager to partner with you.
Further information on accessing the report cards will be emailed next week. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lam Nguyen, Dean of Academics.
Locker Clean Out
Students may leave only books, shoes, and their shelving in their lockers over the break.
Please encourage your daughter to bring home all uniform items and food containers. It’s a great opportunity to return to a fresh, clean space for the spring term.
Middle School
Form Programming Next Week
Grade 7 students will continue with Parts 2 and 3 of their EDIB Identity unit. In this interactive activity, students will create identity flowers, with each petal representing a different part of who they are. From there, the students will create a Form bouquet which represents each member of their community.
Grade 8 students will participate in a Win@Social lesson exploring why adolescents may engage in risky behaviour. During the teen years, being with peers or experiencing strong emotions can heighten sensitivity to rewards, particularly social approval, thereby influencing decision-making. This session will help students better understand these influences and make thoughtful, informed choices.
