Celebration Saturday brings together the entire school community for activities, games and opportunities to build connections with, and support for, our community partners in the city and beyond. This is a unique event as students, faculty, staff, parents, Old Girls, friends and neighbours of the school come together while developing a sense of our community spirit and an awareness of others in the greater community. Through the House system, students organize and carry out various activities. A fun part of this event that you won't want to miss out on is our silent and live auctions, which this year include:
Silent Auction
- Raptors tickets
- Toronto Maple Leaf tickets
- Sight-seeing flight around Toronto
- Schwinn mountain bike
- One night's stay in the Boarding School
- Birthday party in Brenda Robson Hall hosted by US Prefects
- And much, much more!
- Head of the Junior School for a day
- Front row reserved seating for all major JS events (see certificate for specific events)
- And much more!

Needed: New and returning members for the Havergal Welcome Committee! The Junior School Welcome Committee is a group of parents who work with the Admission Office to give tours to prospective families. Members are also involved in admission events such as Open House and our New Family Picnic. This is a great way to meet new people and share your love of Havergal with families who are going through the admission process. If you would like to be a part of the Welcome Committee, please click on this link:https://goo.gl/forms/IYPbVsVLTWxjSz8p2 and fill out the Google form or email Amy Holder at aholder@havergal.on.ca and join us at our Welcome Committee Orientation Meeting on Thursday, October 6 at 9:00 am in the JS Learning Hub. The Admission Team truly values the involvement of our Welcome Committee. It is made up of parents who are some of the best HC Ambassadors in our school. The positive feedback we receive from our prospective families continues to support the value that the Welcome Committee adds to the admission process.
