Get Involved—Volunteer with the HCC! The Havergal Community Committee (HCC) is looking for volunteers to assist with ongoing positions and special events. Becoming an HCC volunteer is a great way to connect with other parents, gain a better understanding of the school, be a role model for your daughter and make lifelong friendships. Share in your daughter’s success and give what you can in time and talent as a parent volunteer. You can sign up online at www.havergal.on.ca/volunteer for a single event or throughout the year— there are positions that work with every schedule. For more information, contact the HCC at volunteer@havergal.on.ca.
