Gator Day 

In the Junior School, Gator Day takes place at the end of the year and is a time for Houses to  participate in activities and games. Gator Day in the Upper School is scheduled in early September  as a kick off to House spirit. 

Grade 6 Celebration 

At the end of the school year, families and their daughters in Grade 6 attend a special celebration  honouring the time the students have spent in the Junior School. 

Graduation (Upper School) 

Following June examinations, Havergal celebrates the academic achievements of its Senior Year  students at Graduation. Senior Year family members are invited to attend and share in this special  occasion as the graduates conclude their years at the school. 

Grandpals’ Day 

Students are encouraged to invite grandparents or special adult friends to visit their school on  Grandpals’ Day. In the Upper School, this special day is held in conjunction with Remembrance Day  Services. It is a special spring event on the Junior School calendar. 

Harvest Festival (Junior School) 

This service is held each year on the last school day before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  Parents are invited to attend this event, held in Brenda Robson Hall in the Upper School. Each girl is  asked to bring an offering of non‑perishable food, which are collected and sent to the North York  Harvest food bank. Tea and coffee are served for guests immediately following the service. 

Havergal Networking Events 

These events provide an excellent opportunity for Old Girls working in specific fields, or those  exploring new opportunities, to meet others in the same profession and to make new connections.  Past networking events have included the disciplines of law, the arts and medicine.
