Havergal College
O
n April 1, 2014, Helen-Kay
Davy assumed her new role
as Havergal’s 11
th
Principal.
Following the announcement of
her appointment in March 2013,
Helen-Kay visited Havergal three
times. On these occasions, she met
with Board members, staff, faculty
and students to begin to forge
important relationships within the
community in anticipation of her
transition to Havergal.
Born in the UK, Helen-Kay is a
graduate of Oxford University and
has spent her distinguished career in
education in a series of prominent
British schools, culminating in her
last position as Headmistress of
Haberdashers’ Monmouth School
for Girls in Wales.
At Havergal, the period from April
to June is traditionally a busy one,
with many events and activities
taking place, which this year has
provided Helen-Kay with some
wonderful opportunities to become
quickly engaged in the life of the
school. Having been fully briefed on
the school’s Master Plan as well as
developments around the school’s
next Strategic Plan prior to her arrival,
Helen-Kay will lead Havergal into the
future and into the next chapter in
its growth as a leading girls’ school in
Canada. “I look forward to working
with our Board and committee volunteers to see the current,
innovative strategy
A Culture of Capability
evolve into a new
vision for Havergal,” she says. “I believe this is an extremely
exciting time in Havergal’s history and I feel both privileged and
pleased to be a part of it.”
Havergal is indebted to Lois Rowe for her leadership, serving as
Acting Principal since August 2013. Resuming her important role
as Vice Principal, Lois will continue to support Helen-Kay
to effect a smooth transition in her role as Principal.
The Board is delighted to have Helen-Kay with us and we
hope that every member of the Havergal community has the
opportunity to offer her a warm Havergal welcome!
A Warm Havergal Welcome
for 11
