CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

Upper School 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 Head of Middle School, Head of Senior School or Director of Student Life. Information about events are shared with families in “The Weekly” with respect to the programs, dates and procedures of the different schools. In all cases, whenever a student is a guest at another school, they are expected to uphold the Havergal College Code of Conduct and represent Havergal College admirably. Behaviour Code for All Middle School COSSOT Events Appropriate behaviour is expected of all students at all times. The Havergal Code of Conduct applies at all COSSOT events. The following is a list of behaviours expected from all students attending a COSSOT event: ● follow instructions the first time they are given; ● if the instruction is not clear, ask for clarification. If you disagree with an instruction, follow up individually with the adult who gave the instruction from any given school or speak to your teacher/supervisor; ● always be mindful, courteous and considerate of others; ● dance moves should be respectful; and ● remember that it is of the utmost importance that students learn to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.

If there is a behaviour problem, the staff supervisor in attendance from their school will make a decision regarding consequences or any discipline required.

Dress Code for All “Non-Uniform” COSSOT Events

The standard of dress is smart casual at most events. Information regarding dress will outlined on the permission form for each event.

Middle School COSSOT Events One of the objectives at the Middle School level is to provide opportunities for students to meet and socialize with other students from a variety of schools. The number of students able to attend each event varies and, as a result, each participating school is allotted a predetermined number of spots.
