Middle School and Senior School Athletics Fees An athletic fee will be charged to help cover the escalating costs of entry fees, transportation, awards, equipment, uniforms, referees, outside coaches, facility rentals and other costs that are incurred by the department. Athletic fees range from $225 to $350 per season. Student accounts will be charged for athletics at the end of each sport season. If a student is provided with a uniform they do not return, they will be charged for the replacement cost of that uniform. Students who qualify for OFSAA championships and/or compete in CAIS tournaments will be charged accordingly. Additional fees apply for some sports and students will be charged for any required competition uniform pieces (e.g., swimsuit, hockey socks, golf hats, rowing unisuit, etc.). A Havergal team track jacket and/or sweatshirt is part of the athletics uniform. This will be provided to students when they make their first school team and the cost will be billed to student accounts. The approximate cost of the track jacket is $130 and the sweatshirt is $75. This sweatshirt or track jacket is to be worn when travelling to and from games and meets. Both the track jacket and ¼ zip may be worn during the school day, except when wearing Number One Dress.
