Havergal Highlights
GET INVOLVED
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 .
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
for a single event or throughout the
year—there are positions that work with every schedule. For more
information, contact the HCPA at
