COMMUNITY EVENTS

You Are a Havergal Ambassador As a member of the Havergal community, you are invaluable to the admission process by letting your network (your neighbours, colleagues and friends) know about Havergal College and our wonderful educational program and welcoming community. We rely on you to be ambassadors for our school here in Toronto and beyond. If you know of a family whose daughter would make a great addition to our community, please invite them to contact the Admission Office at 416.483.4726 or admissions@havergal.on.ca . Get Involved—Volunteer with the HCPA! The Havergal College Parent Association (HCPA) is looking for parent volunteers to assist with ongoing positions and special events at the school for 2016–17. Becoming a 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 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 HCPA at volunteer@havergal.on.ca .
