ALUM SPOTLIGHT

Why do alums give back to Branksome?

"On a personal note, Branksome gave me an experience that will last a lifetime."

This is just one of the reasons that Karen CORDES Woods'99 shared when asked about her support for Financial Assistance at Branksome Hall in the just launched Donor & Giving Report. Watch for your print issue in the mail soon.

BRANKSOME HALL DEBATE NEEDS YOU!

On November 15th, Branksome Hall is hosting the Fulford Debate Tournament.

The Fulford debate league was founded in 1948 and is likely the oldest student debate league in Ontario. Branksome Hall was both the first girls' school to join the league, and to win the championship.

We are in need of nearly 60 judges—including alums like you!

No debate experience or expertise is needed. Lunch will be provided.

KEEP UP WITH BRANKSOME

Friday Night Lights

In September, Branksome and Havergal faced off in the first ever all girls Friday Night Lights game.

Students started the night with a Pep Rally on campus, including face painting, sign making and meeting the new Highlanders mascot, before heading to Havergal to face off against the Gators.

ICYMI - Hayley AvRUSKIN'87 was on the PrincipalED Podcast

After graduating as Head Girl of the Class of ’87, earning a Master’s of Education in the UK and returning to Branksome as an educator, Hayley has spent the past 30 years shaping lives across generations.

As she prepared for retirement, Hayley reflected on the experiences that influenced her path, the evolving needs of students over time and the importance of creating spaces where every individual can thrive.
