MESSAGES

I would like to start by extending a safe and happy return to all of our students, faculty and staff as they rejoined the campus, in person, to begin a new school year. This past September marked several milestones for Havergal, as we slowly emerged from the pandemic, welcomed our 13th Principal, Dr. Katrina Samson, and reached a remarkable fundraising goal with the completion of the Limitless Campaign . It is truly an honour to have been a part of this significant project. Since its inception in 2015, we have watched with excitement as Havergal’s new facilities took shape throughout the seasons. The project evolved over time, and it was such an accomplishment to witness our dream become a reality in fall 2020, when the new buildings opened to much fanfare from our students. For those less familiar, the Limitless Campaign is Havergal’s largest fundraising endeavour to date, with the intention of raising $21 million—a goal which was exceeded, achieving an impressive $21.8 million. This is a huge landmark for us and it would certainly not have been possible without the generous donations given by you, our Havergal community.

The Impact Report offers a reflection of the past fiscal year, which has been a time of change, growth and rejuvenation. I hope you enjoy reading the stories from some of our donors and seeing the ways in which their gifts have contributed to our community. As an institution, Havergal has weathered many challenges in its 127-year history, from the First and Second World Wars to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the generosity, strength and dedication of our community have always shone through; I am confident it will continue to do so for generations to come. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for your support of the Limitless Campaign and our journey to build facilities that inspire learning. Your contributions toward our endeavours equate to support for girls’ education and our future leaders. We could not be prouder of our young learners for the tenacity they have demonstrated during this unprecedented year. Warmest regards,

Debbie Simpson Chair, Havergal College Board of Governors

I would like to begin with a big thank you for the enthusiastic welcome I’ve been extended here at Havergal. The strong sense of community and spirit at the school has been evident since day 1 and it has been a very rewarding first semester and an encouraging start to the new school year. It has brought me joy to watch our students interact with one another, in person on campus, and it is so wonderful to see them using the bright spaces in our newly built Junior and Upper School wings. The Upper School students have grown especially fond of spending time in the Learning Commons with the Old Girls BioWall, which is a beautiful and sustainable feature with the added benefit of serving as a natural air-filtration system, in addition to providing a connection with nature. I know that our community watched with much anticipation as the incredible new spaces came to life. These state-of-the-art facilities were made possible by the generosity and support of those who have contributed to Havergal’s fundraising and philanthropic efforts over the past several years. The success of the Limitless Campaign has allowed us to create contemporary and inspiring spaces for all of our future leaders to grow and thrive.

The resounding success of the campaign along with other fundraising initiatives at the school enable us to execute on the goals in our Strategic Direction. Our ongoing vision is to inspire young learners, and create opportunities for them to develop agency and cultivate world- views that empower them to become global change-makers. By investing in our community and leveraging the talent and passion of our people, we will shape future-ready leaders. Our generous donors and their philanthropic support help to make all of this possible. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on philanthropy—a virtue that we wish to model for our students as they transition out into the world as confident, globally minded citizens. I look forward to connecting with more members of the Havergal community and wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to you for your ongoing support and belief in our mission. The future only gets brighter from here.

LIMITLESS CAMPAIGN

Since 1894, Havergal College has provided young women with an exceptional education in a setting that strongly values community. This is underscored by the ongoing importance of fundraising and the culture of philanthropy at Havergal. As the Co-Chairs of the Campaign Cabinet, we are deeply appreciative of your continued support and contributions toward advancing girls’ education and we are thrilled with the success of the Limitless Campaign , the school’s largest fundraising endeavour to date. With an initial goal of raising $21 million, we knew the project was ambitious from the onset. However, when we exceeded our goal by raising an incredible $21.8 million, it filled our hearts with pride and truly demonstrated the strength and commitment of our community. Our students are able to experience the fruits of your efforts each day, as they live and learn in beautiful new spaces that are designed to foster learning and cultivate confidence, helping to shape these future leaders. Features such as the environmentally sustainable Old Girls BioWall, light-filled Learning Commons and stunning Junior School Dining Hall would not have been possible without your generosity. Your donations, coupled with our fundraising, help to sustain the level of excellence that Havergal prides itself on and is reputed for. We would like to thank the Campaign Cabinet for their tireless work to make the Limitless Campaign a reality. These efforts serve as a great example for our students by highlighting the important role philanthropy plays at both Havergal and the world beyond our ivy walls. We are also grateful for the continued contributions of our dedicated volunteers, who help to create a vibrant atmosphere for our families. We have nothing but deep gratitude for all of your generous support throughout the campaign and the shared commitment to reaching this fundraising milestone. We hope you take as much pride in this achievement as we do. We are delighted to see what the future holds next for Havergal. Thank you for supporting our vision and championing girls’ education.

Campaign Donor Story: Rajeev & Tanuja Gupta With three daughters enrolled at Havergal, the Gupta family has been deeply involved with both the Junior and Upper Schools for more than eight years now. Maya (Grade 11), Nisha (Grade 9) and Sara (Grade 6) are all active in sports and various co-curriculars, while their parents have taken time to volunteer in many different capacities at the school. “The passion and attachment that our girls have toward the school is very striking,” says Dr. Rajeev Gupta, a pediatrician with a practice based in Brampton, Ont., who served on the Havergal Board of Governors’ Diversity, Equity & Inclusion subcommittee in 2020 – 21. “They can’t imagine their lives without Havergal and they have really thrived in the school environment.” The Guptas are proud to support Havergal as volunteers and donors. When they learned about the Limitless Campaign , they decided to generously contribute by lending their family name to the Upper School Seminar Room. The Seminar Room is a multi-purpose learning and meeting space with the flexibility to function as one large room or two individual spaces, thanks to a sliding divider system that allows the school to customize the space based on its needs. “We felt Havergal had become such an important part of our children’s lives that we wanted to leave a legacy that would

reflect their formidable experience here,” says Tanuja Gupta, who studied computer engineering when she was in school. “When we learned that girls’ schools receive only a fraction of the donations that boys’ schools do, we were moved to make a financial commitment.” Tanuja’s many hours of volunteering at the school over the years have been an invaluable contribution to the Havergal community. She has served as a Grade Rep, Secretary of the Havergal College Parent Association (HCPA) and Admissions volunteer with the Junior School Welcome Committee. Organizing events, liaising with other parents, giving tours of the school, answering families’ questions and acting as an ambassador to the wider community are just a few of the roles she has taken on. Currently, Tanuja is the Junior School Grade Rep Co-Convener and takes pride in organizing monthly meetings, which provide important information to the parent community. “I have really enjoyed giving back to the community, and the kids like seeing their parents volunteering,” Tanuja says. “Being involved with the HCPA has connected me with different aspects of the school, given us a voice with the administration and kept us in touch with everything that is happening.” The Guptas, who also have a son in Grade 4 at Upper Canada College (UCC), have watched their daughters grow and flourish, discovering new talents and exploring different interests during their time at Havergal. While Maya, Nisha and Sara are all strong in math, science and English, they have also developed well-rounded interests, especially in the arts. “The music program is astounding, and we were amazed at how the whole school came together for concerts,” says Rajeev. “Maya was in band, and the girls made it to the finals when she was in Grade 9. She is also very artistic and has gained a lot of exposure to different mediums and techniques.” “Their confidence has grown and they’re willing to take risks, try new things, speak up in class and voice their opinions,” says Tanuja. “They have forged strong bonds with their friends, and, as parents, we have also made a lot of connections with other families in various grades.” “The community is very diverse but also tight knit,” she says. “That’s the most impressive aspect for us. We’ve never considered another school for our daughters.” While the Gupta family also supports the William Osler Health System Foundation, the Scott Mission and charities devoted to veterans’ mental health, their primary contributions have been to Havergal and UCC. “We believe in supporting our childrens’ schools first and foremost, because of the love they have for their community,” says Rajeev.

As a returning Havergal student, I have access to excellent, state-of-the-art facilities to further benefit my education.

Thank You to Our Limitless Campaign Cabinet We would like to acknowledge the dedicated members of our campaign cabinet, who championed the Limitless Campaign from its inception. Serving as both proud ambassadors and donors, the campaign cabinet provided ongoing guidance, encouragement and support as we worked toward our target to raise $21 million to fund campus modernizations and build facilities that inspire learning for our students. Thank you to our cabinet members—your efforts are greatly appreciated and truly made a difference in helping to keep Havergal at the forefront of women’s education.

ANNUAL FUND

Havergal’s Annual Fund Havergal College is deeply grateful to our donors for their choice to invest in girls’ education each year. The school’s efforts to fulfill its mission—to prepare young women to make a difference—would not be possible without their generosity and dedication. This report recognizes and celebrates everyone who made a gift in our last fiscal year July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. Through annual philanthropic contributions, donors play a vital role in shaping the school’s immediate priorities and laying the groundwork for its future. When you make a gift, you are transforming lives. The successful completion of our Limitless Campaign is an example of the impact that your contributions can have on our school. Each year, based on the potential of future transformation, priority areas are identified for the Annual Fund. Donors have the opportunity to select which area best aligns with their family’s commitment to philanthropy. One such priority is our renewed commitment to providing student financial assistance and our goal to increase both the amount and number of bursaries and scholarships awarded to deserving students who otherwise would not be able to consider the exceptional educational experience that Havergal offers. Attending Havergal College is a life-changing event, and supporting a student’s Havergal journey is one of the most amazing gifts anyone can give or receive. Community members are partners in students' learning and in helping them become more empowered, independent and future-ready. We are deeply grateful to each individual who supports Havergal Philanthropy through the Annual Fund. Your support helps us to deliver excellence that is unparalleled and shapes the lives of our future leaders.

A Catalyst for Change During the 2020 – 21 school year, Havergal College and the Advancement & Community Relations Department were thrilled to announce a new award, known as the Catalyst for Change Award, that was created by recent Havergal graduate Erin Sade 2020. The award was designed to recognize a Grade 12 student who puts their heart into promoting anti-racism awareness, building relationships and making Havergal a more inclusive community. It will be presented annually at graduation going forward. Erin developed an enduring interest in activism in Grade 6, when her teacher assigned the class to participate in Project Give Back. She chose the Yad Vashem Twinning Program, in which Jewish youth learn about and dedicate their Bar/Bat Mitzvah to children who died in the Holocaust. Erin’s work on this project inspired her to engage young people in anti-bullying and anti-racism causes through Holocaust awareness. For her remarkable work, she received the Cantor Kraus Catalyst for Change Award from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which served as inspiration for the name of Havergal’s new award. Since receiving the prestigious Cantor Kraus Catalyst for Change Award, Erin continues to be recognized for her efforts.

In 2020, she was awarded The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Award, the highest accolade a young person can receive for their social action or humanitarian work. The honour is presented to those who foster, develop and inspire positive change in the lives of young people. Erin wishes to give back to Havergal as an annual donor, and now, through the award, each student recipient will be able to direct this annual donation to the area of their choosing. Erin now attends medical school at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom. Reflecting on her time at Havergal, she is optimistic about the school’s future and the positive change this new award could inspire. “It is a way to celebrate diversity and, hopefully, it will motivate students to push for change,” she says. When asked about the message she would like to pass on to new Havergal students, Erin reflected on the importance of family. “When your mom drops you off at the top of the walkway and waits until you’re inside the building, don’t be embarrassed and don’t get mad. She’s the reason you’re even here. You’ll thank her later,” says Erin. “Stay back and talk to your teachers after class because that’s where you will learn the most. Stop worrying about tomorrow, but learn from the past. In the words of Elie Wiesel, ‘Never be silent. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.’” The Havergal community thanks Erin and her family for their important contributions, not only for their role as donors, but also for their inspiration around positive social action and humanitarian work within our student body. For more information about giving or awards at Havergal College, please reach out to Executive Director of Advancement & Community Relations, Tony diCosmo, at tdicosmo@havergal.on.ca.

ENDOWMENT

Endowment Donor Story: Marcelle De Freitas (1920—2019) One of Havergal’s most beloved teachers, Marcelle De Freitas, left an indelible impression on the school community. During her impressive 40-year career at Havergal, from 1944 to 1984, she enjoyed teaching Spanish and sewing, serving as senior mistress and spreading her contagious enthusiasm across many fundraising, charitable and community endeavours. In 1995, she became the namesake of one of Havergal’s 10 Houses, affectionately known today as “MDF”. “From my first term, I realized that the school revolved around Marcelle,” says former Dean of Students Brenda Robson, who joined Havergal as a physical education teacher in 1963. Under Marcelle’s direction, the annual Bazaar (currently known as Celebration Saturday) grew more and more successful, increasing student and parent involvement and raising more money for the Houses and their choice of charity partners. By all accounts an incredible cook, Marcelle also spearheaded Christmas dinners for the homeless and cooked for the Out of the Cold meal program at the Church of Saint Stephen-in-the-Fields. She also volunteered with The Stop Community Food Centre, the Scott Mission and other non-profit organizations.

Marcelle De Freitas

Marcelle’s death in 2019 was a loss felt acutely by Old Girls and staff members alike, who remembered her as a warm, generous and compassionate cornerstone of the school community. Now her legacy will continue to be felt at Havergal, in support of the Former Staff Student Assistance Bursary. Marchelle’s bequest is the largest legacy ever to be donated to this fund. In keeping with the school’s goal of furthering socioeconomic diversity, the funds will allow deserving Havergal students to benefit from an education they would not otherwise be able to afford. “She would do anything to help anyone,” says Brenda. “In her spare time, Marcelle helped other people. That’s just who she was.” Born on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean, Marcelle was the third of 11 siblings and the eldest daughter. An outstanding student, in her final year of high school she was awarded the Island Scholarship which she used to attend McGill University in Montreal. She graduated with a bachelor of arts in 1942 and joined Havergal two years later. Marcelle’s tenure spanned a momentous era in Havergal’s history, one of shifting philosophies of education, social upheaval and the evolution of the role of women. Guided by then-principal Catherine Steele, the school began to accept a broadening of horizons with greater social freedom for the girls. Through it all, Marcelle remained a nurturing presence. “She was a motherly soul,” Brenda says. “She was the no-nonsense type, but you felt a warmth and kindness from her.” Marcelle and Catherine, who spent much of their time together after retirement, also modeled a spirit of kinship among Havergal staff. “They made a point of checking in with former staff who had left, making sure they were all right and helping them financially if they had fallen on difficult times,” says Brenda. When Marcelle found herself alone and showing signs of dementia after Catherine passed away in 2003, it was Brenda and Judy Ratcliffe, along with other former teachers, who organized her move to Lakeside Extendicare nursing home, where she received excellent care until she passed away peacefully on June 5, 2019. Marcelle is buried in Toronto’s Mount Pleasant Cemetery, in the same plot as Ellen Knox, Havergal’s first Principal. “Marcelle taught me that once you became a member of the Havergal community, you were in it for life,” Brenda remarks. “The continuation of the respect and love we have for one another is what makes the Havergal community so special.” This strong sense of community and connection is felt today through Marcelle’s thoughtful philanthropy, which provides Havergal students the opportunity to grow, thrive and shape the future, just as Marcelle did during her time at the school.
