COSSOT Events  The Coalition of Single Sex Schools of Toronto (COSSOT) is made up of independent schools in the  Greater Toronto area. Interschool co‑curricular activities organized by staff and student leaders are  communicated through the Heads or Assistant Heads at each school in order to respect the  programs, dates and procedures of the different schools. In all cases, when a guest at another  school, Havergal students are expected to uphold the Havergal College Code of Conduct and  represent Havergal College admirably.
