Dear JS Parents,
Thank you for another fantastic year at the Junior School. This morning’s Closing Ceremony was absolutely filled with joy, and was the perfect ending to the year. We will update the blog on Monday, with a link to photos and videos.
We wish you all a fun-filled summer, with lots of rest and adventure on the agenda, and look forward to seeing you in September.
Sincerely,
Kate White

An Update on the New Build
While the school year has ended, our construction is progressing steadily and we have now reached the halfway mark of the build!
Walking by the Junior School, you can easily see the developments that have taken place over the past few months. The concrete floors for both storeys have been created, the wooden pillars and ceiling beams for the new dining wing have been mounted and the steel frameworks for some of the classroom walls have been installed.
Construction will continue throughout the summer and into the fall, and we anticipate the full project to be completed by next spring. You can look forward to seeing the exciting transformations when you return in September. Be sure to check out Havergal’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter during the summer to view construction photos as the build continues!
Lastly, we know there have been some growing pains during construction and we appreciate your flexibility while the project is underway. Thank you once again for your patience and cooperation throughout this time of transition.
Athletics
The Junior School Gators have much to celebrate as we look back on a fantastic year in athletics!
We not only celebrate the Soccer, U11 Volleyball, U12 Volleyball, Softball and U11 Track CISAA Champions but we also celebrate an increase of 44 more participants involved in the Athletics program this year. This drastic increase in participation and the championship wins shows the breadth and depth of the program that is being offered. There is a place for everyone in the Havergal Junior School athletics program for them to develop their self-confidence, perseverance, and co-operation. Being a team member in the JS is a special connection for all girls to experience.
We want to wish our graduating Grade 6 athletes well as they continue in their healthy, active journeys into the Middle School.
Summer Reading Challenge
In between popsicles, family fun and swimming, summer reading is a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon or a long evening sunset. Summer reading supports your daughter in maintaining and building upon her learning as well as being enjoyable and a great family activity. To help support your daughter’s reading habits over the summer, we have another Summer Reading Challenge!
Your daughter will be bringing home the materials and instructions, and they can also be found here at this link.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer full of fun and fabulous books!
