Havergal College & The Havergal College Foundation Impact Report 2021-22

Messages

There was a distinct sense of renewal as we welcomed our community back to campus for the new school year. The tight restrictions that were necessary to maintain our health and safety over the past two years have been lifted, and a return to normal school life has filled the halls with optimism and excitement. It was wonderful to welcome our community back for time-honoured events such as Celebration Saturday and Reunion Weekend; our community thrives when we can fully engage in the life of the school. It is my pleasure to share with you the 2021–2022 Impact Report , which reflects on the past fiscal year. We are delighted to share that the success of the Limitless Campaign has had an impact on the daily lives of each of our students as they settle into the new and revitalized spaces. Leadership, legacy, annual and alumni Class Fund donations continue to provide opportunities for enhanced innovation, collaboration, creativity and learning, and have expanded our ability to offer financial assistance to exceptional girls. I also wish to recognize the ongoing commitment and dedication of our many volunteers who serve our school and support our students on their individual Havergal journeys. Once again, thank you for all that you do to support the power of girls' education. Warmest regards, What a difference a year makes! The spring, summer and early fall of 2022 have truly shown the school spirit and strong connections that are reflective of the Havergal College community. With the return of on-campus events, athletics, arts, experiential education trips, Celebration Saturday and Reunion Weekend, it’s been a joyful and rewarding start to the new school year. Over the past 14 months, I’ve watched the evolution of how students and teachers engage with and interact in our great facilities, to see how space is used and the remarkable impact that recent additions to the Junior and Upper School have had on student and academic life. Our facilities and innovative programs are made possible by the generosity and support of those who have contributed to Havergal’s fundraising and philanthropic efforts over the past several years. I am deeply appreciative of the generous support of our donors—people like you who are championing girls’ learning and their success now and into the future. Our ongoing vision is to inspire young women to make a difference by creating opportunities for them to develop new skills and cultivate worldviews that empower them to become global change makers. By investing in our community and leveraging the talent and passion of our people, we are shaping future-ready leaders and generations of courageous, compassionate and influential women. Our donors and their philanthropic support all help to make the realization of our mission possible. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on philanthropy and we aim to inspire that commitment to giving back, modelling that virtue for our students as they transition out into the world as confident, globally minded citizens. As we welcome families back to campus this fall and over the course of this year, I look forward to connecting with members of the Havergal community. Thank you for backing your belief in our mission with your ongoing support. With gratitude, Debbie Simpson Chair, Havergal College Board of Governors
