HAVERGAL COLLEGE
Rachelle Li
Western University, Biomedical Science
& Music
Rachelle, a gifted violinist, joined Havergal
in Grade 4. The school provided an enriched
environment for her to develop into a
well-rounded student while at the same time
supporting her musical talents. Her involvement at the school included
participating on various sports teams and community partnerships,
being a member of Student Council and the Welcome Committee and
playing in the school’s orchestras and chamber music ensembles. She
was School Captain in her graduating year, representing and leading
the student body with confidence and enthusiasm. Outside Havergal,
Rachelle was a member of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra
and The Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists.
Upon graduation, she received the J. Herbert Mason Medal, which is
Havergal’s highest honour awarded for character. Rachelle is currently
studying Biomedical Science and Music at Western University.
Emma Smith
Queen’s University, Commerce
As a member of the Welcome Committee, Emma
gave tours to families interested in Havergal,
explaining to them that attending the school
was the best choice she ever made. Having
joined Havergal in Grade 4, she was involved
in a wide variety of sports teams including soccer, track and field,
softball, volleyball, swim and tennis. She was the Margaret Taylor
House Captain in her graduating year and a key member of Student
Council. Emma appreciated her time at Havergal for the leadership
opportunities, the support and mentorship she received from her
teachers and the excellent athletics program, which allowed her to
develop her athletic skill. Emma is currently at Queen’s University in
the Commerce program and playing on the Queen’s Gaels Soccer Team.
Shivani Nathoo
University of Toronto, Engineering Science
Havergal was the perfect school for Shivani
because it allowed her to realize her full potential
by providing her with a risk-tolerant environment
in which she could try many things. For example,
she is grateful that she had the opportunity to
perform on stage in her drama classes, to discuss issues with the debate
team and to engage in compelling math and science classes. She was
Co-Head of Beatstock, a student-organized music event in support
of one of the school’s community partners, and also a member of the
Chamber and Senior Choirs and the Environment Club. Outside of
school, she dedicated her time to singing in the Upper Canada Chorus.
Shivani continues to pursue her love of music outside of school while she
studies Engineering Science at the University of Toronto and explores a
future in fuel cell technology, an interest that was enriched during her
involvement with Havergal’s Environment Club.
Jane Park
Rhode Island School of Design, Art
With a passion for the visual arts, Jane was
appreciative of Havergal’s outstanding art program
and talented Arts faculty. She enjoyed exploring the
variety of traditional and non-traditional media such
as painting, photography, printmaking, sculpting and
multimedia. As Art Club Head in her senior year, she developed leadership
skills by organizing various arts-related activities and by guiding fellow art
students. A highlight of her senior year was having one of her paintings
(which she donated) purchased at a charity art auction in support of one of
Havergal’s community partners. Jane felt great satisfaction in helping others
through her artistic expression and hopes to have other opportunities to
give back through her art. She is currently studying art at the Rhode Island
School of Design, where she plans to focus on textile design.
