On Thursday, April 23rd, our school community gathered at St. Paul’s Bloor St. for a Founder’s Day that felt particularly momentous. This year holds profound significance as we celebrate the centenary of the laying of our original cornerstone at Lawrence and Avenue Road—a hundred-year legacy of community and excellence.

Founder’s Day is the one time each year when our entire school comes together to celebrate as one. The energy this year was elevated by fantastic choirs from Junior, Middle and Senior schools and by Dr. Samson’s reflection on the Artemis II Space Mission. As we watched individuals literally “shoot for the moon,” we were reminded of the world’s need for bold vision and the courage to explore the unknown.

The reflections then shifted from the cosmic to the deeply personal. Liz Watt (Assistant Head of Junior School) challenged us to consider: “What if today was not just another day, but a day that someone remembers because of you?” Grade 12 student Anaya J shared a moving retrospective on their journey since Grade 8. Crediting their growth to both our expansive programs and the simple joy found in everyday moments with peers, Anaya left us with a vital takeaway: true success comes when you embrace your authentic self. She tasked us all to be ‘unapologetically’ ourselves.

There is perhaps no better charge for our community than that. As we head into the weekend, we hope you find joy in the small moments and the confidence to be “unapologetically you.”

Have a lovely weekend,

Cissy, Deirdre and Krista

Your feedback will help us gauge whether there is sufficient collective interest and long-term commitment to make this program a reality.  You can access the survey here.

Spring finally feels as though it is arriving, and while the countdown to the end of the year has begun, the energy across our campus suggests we are far from slowing down. These final weeks are always a mix of “hellos” and “goodbyes” as we host exchange students, dances, and art shows while simultaneously preparing for the bittersweet departures that June brings.

This week, the spirit of service was front and center. We began with speeches from our five exceptional School Captain candidates, each offering thoughtful reflections on leadership, community, and the meaning of serving others. The sheer number of students stepping forward willing to serve this community is a powerful testament to their engagement and commitment to Havergal. 

From the high-energy House Shout theme reveal to our Chinese Language Day celebrations, where we welcomed the Chinese Consul General, our days have been incredibly full. It’s a privilege to watch our students work so hard to make this school a better place for everyone.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This week, the halls of Havergal were particularly vibrant as we celebrated our annual “Arts Week.” We opened the festivities with a beautiful Prayers featuring music, dance, and visual art, where our students shared movingly about how the arts contribute to their purpose, sense of self, and wellbeing. Our annual Art Salon was another highlight, showcasing the diverse talents of both students and staff and bringing our community together in a shared experience of beauty.

On Thursday, we were honored to welcome back alumna Nicole Leung ’15. Now a professional opera singer, Nicole moved us not only with her extraordinary gift of song but also with a hopeful message on how pursuing our unique talents—even in the face of obstacles—leads to true fulfillment.

We are profoundly grateful for the creativity that breathes life into our school every day, and for the students, faculty, and staff who make it all come alive.

I hope you have a lovely weekend,

Krista

Over the past two weeks, our Grade 9 students stepped outside the traditional classroom for TC-9, an interdisciplinary journey designed to help them see themselves as changemakers. Grounded in Havergal’s mission, the program challenged students to examine global issues and ask, “How can I make a difference?”

Students chose a focus area connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They explored complex issues through various lenses, including:

• Sustainability: Climate Action, circular design, and urban farming.
• Community & Wellbeing: Social justice through art, urban planning, and the importance of play.

The program wasn’t just theoretical. Students met with local leaders and took full-day excursions across the city to see how big ideas translate into local action. To help them process these experiences, we introduced several problem-solving frameworks:

• Systems & Futures Thinking: Learning to see the big picture and imagining the long-term impact of today’s choices.
• Design Thinking: A hands-on approach to creating solutions that actually work for people.

By the end of the program, students weren’t just thinking about problems; they were shaping personal action plans. We saw a wonderful shift in the girls as they developed greater agency and optimism. They are walking away not just with new knowledge, but with the confidence that they have the tools to contribute to a better world.

We truly appreciated the opportunity to work with your smart, curious, and talented daughters!Jeff Adams, Allison Campbell-Rogers and Adam Caplan, The HC-X Team
