Beyond the Ivy Walls

Our Havergal Junior School students pursue a vast array of activities beyond our walls. Their dedication and accomplishments are impressive, and we want to give students the opportunity to share their efforts with our community. Highlighting and celebrating our girls’ learning beyond our ivy walls not only allows us to get to know each other in different ways, but it may also serve as inspiration for others.

Accomplishments in any field are welcome: athletics, arts, academics, philanthropy, hobbies and more. Endeavours that represent the Havergal values of integrity, inquiry, compassion and/or courage are also encouraged.

How to submit:

If your daughter has an accomplishment from beyond the ivy walls that she would like to share, either you or your daughter may submit the accomplishment by email to Ms. Szolopiak sszolopiak@havergal.on.ca. Please use the subject line: Beyond The Ivy Walls, include 3 – 4 sentences describing the accomplishment,  as well as a good quality photo.

When to submit:

Submissions can be made at any time. Pictures and descriptions will be posted on the “Beyond The Ivy Walls” bulletin board outside of the Junior School gymnasium. Once a month, students will be recognized in Prayers so our community can celebrate their acts of excellence and perhaps be inspired to try something new or do something great beyond the ivy walls of Havergal College Junior School.

Wacky Festive Sweater Day on Monday (Can-Struction Fundraiser)!

Thank you so much for all of your donations to the Christmas food drive and to the Gr. 5 Can-struction Project.

On Monday, students who contributed to these fundraising events are invited to wear a wacky Christmas sweater or festive coloured sweater over their uniform. They are also invited to the gym at lunchtime to enjoy creating a tasty reindeer snack while they eat their lunch and watch a holiday movie.

Thank you and happy wacky Christmas sweater Monday!
