Message from Head of Junior School - June 8, 2018

Dear Junior School Parents,

Thank you to all of those that were able to make it our Final Prayers Service in the Brenda Robson Hall today.  It was magical to have all of our students there, and see the sun shining through and lighting up their faces.  We are looking forward to next week, as we continue to honour the end of the school year with Grade 6 Leaving Celebration on Monday, and our Closing Ceremony on Tuesday.  All the details for both events are noted below.

The Summer Reading Challenge is back! Reading over the summer is crucial for your daughter to maintain the progress she has worked so hard to achieve this year. We've created a challenge to help keep her motivated and reading during the long summer days.

Ms. Rodd is always looking for books to recommend, which means she is also always reading! We are challenging the girls to take on Ms. Rodd and see if they can read more than her. Updates regarding Ms. Rodd's progress will be posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and you are encouraged to send in pictures of your daughter working to read more than Ms. Rodd!

AN UPDATE ON THE NEW BUILD
We have received additional building permits from the City of Toronto and are looking forward to continuing construction work at the Junior School and the Upper School.

Once the school year ends, we are planning to begin demolition at both sites in order to make space for our exciting new facilities. From now until year end, the Buttcon construction team will be undertaking quiet work in preparation for the next phase of the build. At the Junior School, Buttcon will be working on the former Kindergarten and music spaces, located inside the construction zone. During the summer months, we anticipate the bulk of demolition and foundation work to take place. 

We ask that you continue to keep safety in mind when visiting Havergal, by obeying signage and avoiding entering construction zones. We will share another update with you before the start of the new 2018-2019 school year!

Message from Head of Junior School - May 25, 2018

Dear Junior School Parents,

With only 12 more school days until the end of the school year, we are still going strong!  

Yesterday, we were inspired Grade 4s led a special Prayers about Girl Power. They spoke about the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and the portrayal of women in the media. They showed us pictures of t-shirts that are printed for girl, with slogans such as "I'm too pretty to do math" and "Things I am good at: Shopping, Dancing, Listening to Music...Things I am not good at: Math...Hey, you can't be good at everything!" Recognizing the need for active change, our girls then presented t-shirts that they designed with messages about Girl Power. CLICK HERE for pictures from this very special prayers.

Sincerely,

Kate White

Congratulation to our U12, U11, and U10 Track and Field team who competed in the championships. Results are to come.
