ALUM DONOR WALL: CK PURKS Hoffler'80 Match

Your support for the Alum Donor Wall in iCAST is getting significantly boosted thanks to Tricia “CK” PURKS Hoffler’80, Partner and CEO of The CK Hoffler Firm in Atlanta, former Head Girl and a Branksome Board member.


For the next 85 alums who make a $500 gift or pledge to add their name to the Alum Donor Wall, CK has generously offered to add another $250. That means your $500 becomes a $750 investment in Branksome's future – and an extra $21,250 overall for our girls!


What a great time to let the collective light of the Branksome alum community shine! To reserve your place on the Alum Donor Wall, visit branksome.on.ca/alumwall.

Back-to-Back Greatness: Branksome's Helen Ziomecki Crowned Debate World Champion


On Saturday, April 5, 2025, Branksome Hall’s very own Grade 12 student Helen Ziomecki was crowned overall winner of the 2025 World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships (WIDPSC).


It was a moment of déjà vu in the best way as Branksome alum Anna GAGE’24 brought home the trophy last year.


This back-to-back win is not only a testament to the dedication and calibre of Branksome’s debate students and coaches, but it is also an historic achievement for the school. Only three other schools in the history of the competition have had consecutive Worlds champions.
