Torch - Spring 2016

| SPRING 2016 • TORCH 15
W ith a variety of community partnerships, clubs
and sports teams that students and faculty can
get involved in, Havergal is a busy place. There
is a lot you can do here, from joining the Debate team,
to competing on the Swim team and playing Quidditch
to learning Spanish and working on Behind the Ivy,
the student newspaper.
But while there is variety in the activities, there is
unity in the underlying values that students develop,
regardless of their passions. The dedication of the singer
who commits to a choir for several years. The discipline of
the swimmer who sets her alarm to make a regular 6:45 am
practice. The leadership of a girl who joins a club in Grade
7 and heads it by Grade 12. Moreover, there’s a strength of
character shared by the whole community when everyone
is interested in helping each other.
Highlighted on the following pages are some of Havergal’s
community members who embody the school’s core values
of integrity, inquiry, compassion and courage. From the
Junior School to our faculty team, here are some people
who make the community proud.
