Havergal College Grad Profile 2018

Meet Some of Our Graduates from the Class of 2018

Danya Assaf

Queen’s University  COMMERCE

Danya enjoyed being Admissions Prefect in her Grad year because it gave her the opportunity to share her love of Havergal with others. She vividly remembers her tour of the school in Grade 3 and how it inspired her to join the community. During her eight years at Havergal, she was involved in the Community Council as well as the Soccer and Rowing teams. An experience that she will never forget is learning the art of cooking at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris, France, through Havergal’s Global Experience Program. With a passion for math and business, Danya’s favourite high school courses were Grade 12 Accounting and Grade 12 Economics as well as AP Calculus and Vectors. She is currently pursuing a degree in Commerce at Queen’s University and hopes to be an entrepreneur one day. Outside of school, she was involved in Voices of Toronto, a local organization that uses art to voice the opinions of real citizens of Toronto. This experience has inspired her to be an ambassador for others as well. “I have been fortunate to receive an incredible education from Havergal and I feel it is my obligation as a Canadian Muslim woman to advocate for others whose voices may not be heard.”

At Havergal College, we offer our students the opportunity to excel in academics, arts, athletics and leadership. When you look at the 125 students in the 2018 graduating class, it is clear that these future leaders have the tools they need to succeed, whatever their passions. They have earned scholarships, created dynamic visionary projects, led their teams to victory and transformed the Havergal experience into unique versions of excellence.
