A Message From The Head of the Junior School – Friday, February 27, 2026

On By havergaljuniorschoolLeave a comment

Dear Junior School Families,

This week brought about many exciting events in the Junior School. On Monday, we honoured the Lunar New Year in prayers. Students shared stories, a short play, poems, dances and songs all in celebration of the Year of the Horse. In addition, students learned about the meaning of Pink Shirt Day, a national anti-bullying initiative, aimed at bringing awareness to the issue. Ms. Watt and students shared personal experiences when they had been on the receiving end of both kind and unkind behaviours, the courage that it takes to be an “upstander,” and how in a world where we can choose to be anything, to be kind.

A final thank you to students in Grade 5 for planning fun and engaging activities at recess for Thrive Day. It was an opportunity to slow down, come together, and focus on our individual and collective wellbeing.

Warmly,

Kate

Report Cards Available for Viewing on Wednesday, March 4 at 4:00 pm 

March report cards 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 how to access the report cards will be emailed next week. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lam Nguyen, Dean of Academics.

Dear Junior School Families,

Next week is full of exciting opportunities! From celebrating the Lunar New Year in Prayers on Monday, to learning more about the origins of Pink Shirt Day, and having students participate in “Thrive Week,” it is sure to be a fulsome week. Be sure to take a few moments over the weekend to review all that we have in store in the weeks, and months ahead.

Warmly,

Kate

Student-Led Conferences Sign-Up (Grades 1 – 6)

As previously communicated, Student-Led Conferences have been scheduled for Friday, April 17, 2025 from 8:30 am – 12:00 pm. 

Please note:

  • Families will receive an email from me on Monday, to sign-up for our upcoming Student-Led Conferences.

As a Reminder:

  • Our goal, with Student-Led Conferences, is to empower students to take ownership of their learning, while fostering a meaningful dialogue between students and parents. This is part of our ongoing commitment to incorporate student voice and reflection into our parent-teacher conferences and formal reporting, a key initiative in our strategic plan.  
  • Student-Led Conferences offer an opportunity for students to highlight what they are currently learning in the classroom and to provide them with the chance to present their progress to you formally. 
  • Our hope is that these conferences will allow for rich, reflective conversations that highlight not only what your child has accomplished, but also the ways in which they are thinking about and growing in their learning. 

A Note From Our Librarian – Ms. Rodd

Over the past few months, we have noticed an increase in damage to our library books. This winter, many brand new books have been returned with significant water damage, food spills, and rips. Unfortunately this means that the books must be discarded and the library budget used to replace these copies.

We ask that you help support your child in maintaining the good condition of library books that they borrow. Please help your child remember to place water bottles and snack containers in separate compartments of their backpacks.

As well, if you or your child does notice a water or food spill, please alert Ms. Rodd, rather than returning the book in the return bin. This will help make sure that additional damage is not done to other books.

A refresher on library book care will also be delivered to students over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your support. If you have any questions please reach out to Erica Rodd 

Lunar New Year Celebrations – Rev. Ruch

The students have been working hard over the last three weeks to be able to share elements of their culture for our Lunar New Year Prayers on Monday. The students have been given their scripts, where applicable, for practice over the weekend. For those signed up in Grades 1-3, the link for the dance for them to practice if they wish is: YouTube link.

Students celebrating the New Year are welcome to come to school in their traditional clothing and are welcome to wear it throughout the day.  For those involved in Prayers, if they are not wearing traditional clothing, please come in your uniform. 

For all those participants (we have about over 65), can you please come to school for 7:45am where possible. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Rev. Jillian Ruch.

A Message From The Head of the Junior School – Thursday, February 12, 2026

On By havergaljuniorschoolLeave a comment

Dear Junior School Families,

As parents, educators, and fellow Canadians, our hearts are with the families and community of Tumbler Ridge as they face an unimaginable loss. We hold them in our thoughts and prayers during this immensely difficult time.

We also recognize that news like this can affect our own students in many ways. Yesterday, Upper School students were reminded that support is available at the school, including our Guidance Counsellors, Social Worker, Health Centre, and Chaplain, as well as the option to speak with any trusted adult of their choice. Our Junior School team is also prepared to support students who may have questions and want to talk about what they have seen or heard about this tragedy.

As we conclude Spirit Week at Havergal, we’re reminded that this week is a time intentionally set aside to build connection, belonging, and community. In moments like this, leaning into community and connection matters. By caring for one another and staying connected, we strengthen the kind of community our children need.

We wish you time with loved ones this Family Day long weekend.

Take care,

Dr. Katrina Samson

Principal

Ramadan Mubarak

As we approach the beginning of Ramadan, from February 17 to March 19, 2026, we would like to acknowledge this important and sacred time for many of our families. Ramadan is a month centred on reflection, spiritual growth, service, and community. Our school is committed to supporting students throughout the month, particularly those who may be fasting or participating in additional prayers. We encourage families to reach out to their daughter’s teachers and coaches so we can provide appropriate understanding and support. During Ramadan, we will ensure that there is a space for prayer, rest, or quiet reflection, during recess and lunch, should any of our students wish to use it.

We look forward to celebrating Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr together at US Prayers on Thursday, March 26, and JS Prayers on Wednesday, March 25. Please keep an eye out for an invitation to the Parent reception following Prayers—we’d love for you to join us!

Wishing all who are observing a reflective and meaningful Ramadan.
