LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL AND CHAIR

Behind each exceptional student and alum—whose Branksome credentials will set them apart from the pack—is each of you. Our fierce community’s unwavering support will help launch our next generation of leaders and trailblazers.

Branksome has always been unique and exceptional. Among the voices you’ll read about, consider Wendy WILSON Lawson’52, former Branksome staff member and grandmother of fifth-generation Branksome graduate Gillian LAWSON’22. Even then, when Wendy arrived here, “Branksome was like a breath of fresh air.”

We remain continuously committed to serve and see our great school continue to thrive and make a difference in the lives of young women.

As we prepare for a smooth and stable leadership transition over the next two years, we applaud our community, which contributes to our current position of strength and readiness. Our eighth principal will, no doubt, be proud to follow in the footsteps of so many wise, fearless and dedicated women who comprise our community.

We’re so incredibly grateful to you all, from our energetic and engaged current parents and past parents, to our dedicated and loving grandparents and past grandparents, to our esteemed alum and our passionate volunteers—and, of course, our generous donors.

The 2021–22 school year was characterized by an outpouring of unprecedented generosity, with more than $6.8 million raised—an amount unsurpassed in memory. We don’t have words to express how meaningful we find this demonstration of support, especially as we moved through such challenging times.

The fierce impact of your donations, large or small, on our students’ lives is life-changing and tangible. As you’ll read, your donations touch every part of the student experience, from co-curricular opportunities, expert guest programming and elevated facilities, to financial assistance for the most promising students—a total of more than $1.6 million raised in 2021–22.

With eyes on what’s to come, our vision for iCAST continues to inspire and gain momentum, with more than $4.3 million raised last year alone. We hope to gather more community members to support this game-changing space, the first of its kind in Canada. It’s set to nurture tomorrow’s innovators and disruptors, who can deliver big solutions to real-world problems. It’s the next-level way to set the Branksome experience apart and ensure that your investment in a world-class education continues to appreciate.

We remain so grateful for how much our community takes on as we strive to sustain the hallmark of the Branksome experience for generations to come—unique, exceptional and fiercely committed to nurturing independent minds ready to tackle the future.

It’s a long journey… Fuelled by the engine of your incredibly committed support, our students are well-prepared to empower themselves and others to lead the way.

Jean Cloutier, Chair

Karen Jurjevich, Principal

The gift of historyand connection

The Lawson Family’s $1-million gift for financial assistance will unlock academic opportunity and so much more.

Wendy WILSON Lawson’52 has a legacy with Branksome Hall dating back five generations to 1903, its opening year. Alice Eastmure, a member of the school’s first graduating class, was a great-great-aunt to Gillian LAWSON’22, Wendy’s granddaughter.

Now, thanks to the Wendy WILSON Lawson’52 and Gillian LAWSON’22 Scholarship, Wendy’s own lifelong connection to a very meaningful place will last for many more lifetimes to come.

“When I first came to Branksome in Grade 11, it was like a breath of fresh air,” says Wendy, whose father moved around frequently for business. Highly involved in school life as a Prefect, she reminisces about a particularly energetic prank, where students opted to put the school up “For Sale” with a lawn sign. (Of course, Miss Read was not amused.)

Wendy redeemed herself: hired to start Branksome’s first Annual Fund program in 1982, she raised $80,000 for Branksome’s 80th anniversary in her role as the school’s first director of development, in which she stayed until 1988. Her

fun-loving spirit was an asset, bonding with then-Principal Alison Roach, whose “playful side” she enjoyed. Roles as a volunteer and mother of Dr. Margaret LAWSON’80 further embedded her many connections to the school.

Her son Brian and his wife Joannah note how important it was to Wendy that her friends from Branksome became her friends for life, a sentiment shared by so many alum, including her granddaughter, now studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design in the United States.

“Gillian has benefited so much from the closeness of her classmates’ friendships,” says Joannah. “In particular, it’s wonderful how mutually supportive they are, how they celebrate each others’ successes and lift each other up. It’s incredibly positive.”

Consistent with the family’s deep lineage at the school, the generous $1-million endowed gift to financially assist a talented student otherwise unable to attend also aligns with a desire to give back based on their own values and experiences.

“Accessibility matters to our family,” says Brian. “I have benefited from others’ generosity in the past with regard to my own education. I also see, at other institutions, the examples of what students who receive assistance bring to the school—in terms of leadership, excellence and co-curriculars. It’s a tremendous enhancement for everyone.”

Keeping the family’s deep connection going, and making even more Branksome history in the process, Wendy, along with her son Brian, were in attendance at the first Senior and Middle School Assembly of the school year, on Sept. 12.

It was a fine moment, as Principal Jurjevich honoured the Lawson family for their recent donation.

The legacy of Branksome friendship has come full circle: “Branksome was such an important part of Wendy’s life in different phases,” says Brian. “Her association makes this gift even more meaningful.”

And now, with the Lawson family’s donation earmarked for financial assistance, it’s a wonderful way to keep the gift of unique Branksome relationships and friendships going, now and for multiple generations into the future as well.

Gillian LAWSON’22 and her grandmother Wendy WILSON Lawson’52 are taking their five-generation Branksome legacy into the future.

FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT THE INNOVATION CENTRE AND STUDIO THEATRE

Castingvisionourfor iCAST

Generations of generosity have set Branksome up to embrace its next act—a singular building to prepare our students for the workplace of the future.

It’s nothing less than a transformation in innovation. The Innovation Centre and Studio Theatre (iCAST) will be a gamechanger, and not just for Branksome Hall. It’s a first-of-its-kind space for any JK–Grade 12 institution in Canada. (Only three exist in the United States.) We’re set to catapult what we like to call the “Innovation Agenda,” a facility for original thought and active, out-ofbox ideas that will give our students the edge as the entrepreneurial minds, fiercely independent leaders and trailblazers of the future.

Our parents, students, staff and faculty, and alum agree: Branksome’s blend of connection and community is unique and irreplicable. Our sense of purpose has never been stronger as we come together to make this building a reality.

As the groundswell of momentum quickens, here’s why some passionate, early adopters of this communal vision have chosen to step up. We thank them for their tremendous generosity and inspiring leadership.

TYLER AND CLAIRE M ac NAMARA

Tyler and I are so proud to be part of this moment. It’s an incredible building to have anywhere, not just at a girls’ school. It’s unprecedented. iCAST will give students the ability to access learning in different ways to suit multiple learning styles, building on what Branksome is already so good at. It’s rare to have the opportunity to learn this way: in iCAST, if they have an idea, they can actualize it. They’ll be thriving like crazy. It really will be a place to shine.”

(Isabel, Grade 4)

CHRISTIE LOVE THOMAS AND JEFF THOMAS

We’re thrilled to support Branksome’s bold leadership in building this stateof-the-art, world-class innovation centre. This building will benefit every type of learner, and be a space where ideas become reality, and that reality is transformed by collaborating with different kinds of experiences. This building and its programs will make Branksome and our girls more prepared for the careers of tomorrow, and will continue to ensure Branksome’s place as a top girls school globally.”

(Marilyn, Grade 3; Katie, Grade 5)

GLORIA AND ALEX WANG

I know the young generation is set to change the world, and iCAST will help them get there. As a family involved with global business, we have seen the plans for iCAST and are really excited to see how this new, cool space will function. With the open concept and opportunities to develop entrepreneurial and problem-solving instincts and skills, students will be exceptionally prepared for universitylevel experience. This is our investment in our students, and their future.”

(Isabella, SK; Grace, Grade 7)

Donor and Giving

VANESSA YEUNG AND JAMIE SCARLETT

iCAST is the kind of forward-looking project that keeps Branksome in the top ranks of girls schools in Canada, if not the world. The benefit of attending a top school never leaves you, and to maintain that status, we’ve got to maintain that investment for students today and alumnae tomorrow. This is one reason we’re thrilled to support the iCAST project. In addition, the arcs of our own careers have demonstrated that there are exciting careers today that did not exist when we graduated from university. iCAST will facilitate the development of a curriculum that will build an innovation mindset, to enhance traditional ways of thinking and allow students to adapt beyond their years at Branksome.”

(Mei-Lin, Grade 4)

EVA AND ALLEN LAU

Innovation is a major driver of our country’s growth, and it will continue to transform our economy and the job market. We need to prepare the next generation for jobs that don’t exist yet. That’s where Branksome Hall’s new iCAST facility comes in. The new, openconcept space will enable the two Cs: collision and collaboration. Students will be able to see what others are working on, sparking curiosity and inspiration. They’ll think, try, test and iterate in peer groups, with access to leading-edge technology. It’s crucial to offer spaces like iCAST that encourage young people —especially young women—to explore STEM and dream big.”

(Naomi’20; Peony, Grade 12)

Donor and Giving Report

Opening doors and smashingceilings

Our Annual Fund donors make a difference so our students can make their mark.

Bravo! Every year, our donors’ investments in the two priorities of Branksome Hall Annual Fund— our Principal’s Fund and Financial Assistance—are directly responsible for empowering the next generation of fiercely independent leaders. Your donations to our Annual Fund touch every age and stage of our students’ daily experience.

The impact of our community’s generosity is direct, immediate and

experienced in the halls and beyond the walls of Branksome, as we develop tomorrow’s sharpest minds and leaders from a diverse range of backgrounds and perspectives.

Here are some of the creative and inspiring ways in which our community members, including parents and grandparents—both current and past— alum, faculty and staff, stepped up in 2021–22.

EVA AND KAREEM SETHI

[As an independent school alum, Kareem] has seen first-hand the power of alum and parent donor gifts, and their direct effect, whether it’s a new building or renovation or wing, a program or a bursary fund, or an initiative that allowed us to deepen our connection to the school and our peers, and retain lifelong friends. We leave it to the leadership to determine how best to allocate the support. We get satisfaction from providing the support and knowing that our gift is helping this generation.”

(Dahlia, SK; Safiya, Grade 2)

Donor and Giving Report

YOUR IMPACT HELPS THEM HIT THEIR MARK.

JUNIOR SCHOOL iHUB

Limitless possibilities abound! Shining a keen lens on creativity and innovation, the Junior School Makerspace was transformed over the summer into the Junior School iHub and unveiled in late September. Students can create media content, engage with robotics and coding, and construct and build both with physical materials and within a digital space.

ROWING REPAIRS

Our rowing team has no competition when it comes to strength, a steely mindset and a commitment to early-morning practices on the water. After pandemic downtime gave our team a rest, funds will be directed to equipment repairs to ensure smooth sailing.

DANCE ON

With our Performing Arts Centre under construction, our upcoming annual musical and other performing-arts activities and events will be showcased at the Meridian Arts Centre. Our Annual Fund contributions will ensure the shows must “go on” and our musical ensembles have top-notch performance space as we work to improve our own.

WORLD-CLASS DEBATING OPPORTUNITIES

Branksome is renowned for its excellence in debate. Now, a new, dynamic partnership with the world-renowned Munk Debates will enable Branksome to lead an international call for debaters to record and submit a video, then be judged by a worldwide pool of judges. Prizes will include opportunities to travel to the next World Schools Debating Championships. By attracting new voices in an inclusive way, with no barrier to entry, Branksome will enhance its profile as a leader in debating on the world stage.

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: THE INAUGURAL GRADE 6 LEGACY FUND FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

This fund is a meaningful way for each Grade 6 class to celebrate its graduation from the Junior School and make an impact on students by providing resources to support social and emotional health. The hope is that, each year, new Grade 6 parents will make a contribution to the initiative and leave a wonderful legacy for their children. Each Grade 6 class will be recognized on a plaque in the Junior School, and will have the opportunity to choose a quotation that reflects the class's values. The first reads: “Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For indeed, that’s all who ever have.— Margaret Mead"

We feel so much gratitude to the Junior School for how they supported the social-emotional learning of our children, particularly through the pandemic. By focusing on the silver linings and the opportunities, they kept initiative and energy going—and did such a great job around that. This is a way to set up our Junior School students for success, and handle pressures, as they move forward. For future Grade 6 classes, who are already leaders in their school, future fundraising for this award will be another leadership opportunity.”

Jenn Brodlieb (Sydney, Grade 7); Martine Spinks (Michaela, Grade 4; Georgiana, Grade 7)

OUTDOOR LEARNING

Our Woodlot is a special place, and our new, planned outdoor classroom will provide a magical place for students of all ages to learn, explore and grow. The benefits of outdoor learning are well-researched and include increased creativity, problemsolving, independence and confidence; sustained focus; and enhanced mood. This flexible learning space has included faculty and student consultation in its design process.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

The Branksome community celebrated women in their lives who “inspire greatness” by making donations in their honour. Our “Day of Giving,” March 8, recognized International Women’s Day, one of the most important annual celebrations of women’s and girls’ achievements for well over a century.

I’m so proud of Julie’s participation in Model UN. This gift is for all the women whose contributions make life brighter.”

Xin Zhang (Julie, Grade 10)

REUNION GIVING

ENDOWED NANCY ADAMS MACDONNELL’62 FUND FOR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS

Each year, classes celebrating their Reunion year get together and choose a fundraising goal, to give back to their alma mater. In 2022, we honoured our class years ending in 2 and 7; the Class of ’62 paid tribute to Nancy ADAMS MacDonnell’62, their Head Girl, beloved classmate, Branksome employee, parent, grandmother and former Board of Governors member. Nancy established the fund with husband Phil, before her passing in 2006. The class attended the Decades Luncheon at their 60th Reunion, shared memories and presented Phil and Nancy's sister Sally ADAMS Medland’66 with framed photos of Nancy.

We’re committed to a continued investment in Branksome’s facilities; this is an essential ingredient in the experiences of our students and the value that the school provides. We have already planted trees in the woodlot and supported renovations to Junior School classrooms and the Athletics and Wellness Centre. It feels great to keep Nancy’s memory alive and to keep making our mark at the school that helped us make ours in so many wonderful ways.”

ANNUAL FUND: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITY

Comparing the work I did between Grades 9 and 12, it almost felt like another person produced the earlier work. I think this is a testament to the holistic growth I’ve experienced while at Branksome. I also believe that I walked into and out of two different Branksomes, having received support and developed the confidence to create the changes to further support Black students’ needs. This has been nothing short of a life-changing experience, and I am so excited for the next girl who will embark on her unique journey with the support of your family.”

Maria, Financial Assistance recipient

CLASS OF 2022 ENDOWED BURSARY FUND

Each year, Branksome’s graduating class raises funds with the aim of establishing a legacy for their class, while also giving back to future generations of Branksome students. The focus of the fund is decided upon by the students with a class vote. The Class of 2022 voted to establish an endowed fund in benefit of Branksome Hall’s Student Financial Assistance program to help other talented and deserving students from racialized groups receive an education at the school. In addition to the fundraising efforts of the graduating class, parents and grandparents of the Class of 2022 also made generous contributions to the fund, and together they raised more than $59,000, leaving a meaningful and lasting legacy. A very special thank you to the Co-Chairs of the GY Campaign, Jamie McDonald and Pamela Meredith, and Peter and Heather Senst.

HEAD START FOR RACIALIZED STUDENT: THE CLASS OF 2034 BURSARY

Right out of the gate, a commitment to give back put them in first place. The SK Class of 2021–22 established the Class of 2034 Bursary, to remove financial barriers and provide the opportunities of a Branksome education for extraordinary students from racialized communities, further enriching the fabric of our school.

I [Angela] am a clinical researcher and cardiac anesthesiologist, who came from very humble means, and I really couldn’t have got through medical school without financial support. I’m incredibly lucky that I was hugely supported at home by people who valued education at its core. With my personal story of having benefited from strangers’ generosity, and Jason’s ongoing commitment to philanthropy, both internationally and in the Toronto art community, we thought we could inspire other parents in our class to give back. Everyone needs someone to help move them forward in life and say, ‘You can do it.’”

GREAT DEBATERS

Grade 11 student Hao was the first Branksome student since 2016 to earn a place on the Canadian National Debate Team, after taking the stage at the prestigious Cambridge Union Schools Debating Competition, where she and her debate partner, Elizabeth, placed 22nd out of 64 teams. This is an exceptional accomplishment. At the national tryout, Hao had to compete for six rounds stretched over three days, with competitors from all over Canada, as well as go through an interview process.

TOP HONOURS FOR TEACHING

Math Instructional Leader and teacher Edith Louie was recognized with a province-wide honour: the René Descartes Medal. She has taught mathematics at Branksome Hall for 24 years, and her cheerful nature and skill at math instruction are valued by the whole community.

The Society of Descartes Medallists was founded in 1968 and meets annually to honour Ontario mathematics and computer science teachers who deserve special recognition.

It is my pleasure to give back to Branksome annually, and to leave a legacy gift to a place that is a second home to me. Philanthropy is a personal value to me and, after 25 years at Branksome, my colleagues are like family.”

Edith Louie, instructional leader, Senior and Middle School Mathematics, donor to the Principal’s Fund; member of the 10 Elm Society

ROWING FOR MEDALS

It was an amazing showing when our rowers took part in the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Association Regatta in St. Catharines, June 3 to 5. This three-day event attracted athletes from 100 schools from across North America. In the finals, silver medals were awarded to the Junior 4+ and Junior 8+, and to the 63kg 4+ and Novice 8+ crews, while the Junior 63kg 8+ won gold. It was a great effort by our first-time rowers and a great reward for the hard work of our rowing students and coaches this season.

“WELL-PLAYED RECESS” RESEARCH

What if recess was more than just a time for play? What if it was an opportunity for students to use skills they are learning in class? “A Well-Played Recess,” an action research project by Dr. Carolyn Mak, director, Well-Being & School Counselling, did just that as part of the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools Global Action Research Collaborative. With the research support of the Chandaria Research Centre, Grade 4 students learned how to give feedback to peers, and when to seek help from adults when recess conflict occurs. The study, which took a year to research and complete, examined effective ways to teach students to positively interact to mitigate conflict, foster empathy and build friendships.

SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM

VICTORIOUS AT CISAA CHAMPIONSHIP

All that practice paid off, as the Senior Girls’ Basketball Championship won the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario Athletic Association (CISAA) against De La Salle College team on November 4. Throughout the season, they played against the Bishop Strachan School, Lakefield College School, Albert College and De La Salle College and were undefeated.

EXTRAORDINARY ENTREPRENEURS

Our Noodle accelerator program brings student business ideas to life. Our second annual Noodle program culminated in the fall with the final competition seeing Happiness Battery, a well-being app, win the $10,000 prize to further their business. Grade 12 students Ore, Parker and Miranda earned a $10,000 grand prize in seed money made possible by Mary LESSLIE Hallward’74. The program continued to provide mentorship and guidance through “mini Noodle,” an experimental and shorter format,” that includes a partnership with York University, made possible by an anonymous donor.

PORTIA WHITE: A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE AND LEGACY

We gathered to celebrate Portia White’s impact and legacy in April. The first Black Canadian to become an international music star, White was also a music teacher at Branksome after she retired from the stage. Soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee performed one of White’s most famous songs, “Ride on King Jesus,” and author, poet and professor George Elliott Clarke, Portia’s great-nephew, shared his reflections. White’s niece, Sheila White, shared insight into her life and her parents’ experience as an interracial couple in the 1940s. Highlights included student-performed music, dance and poetry, and a showclosing musical contribution from Elizaveta KOZLOVA’15, a New York–based soprano.

Communitybuilders

Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for believing in the power of community to energize and enrich our collective experience at Branksome Hall. With a range of roles and responsibilities, your work is the heartbeat that sustains it all.

As long-time contributors to Branksome, we give to the Principal's Fund because we feel passionate about improving the student experience for our daughters. We have been so happy to see them enjoying the state-of-the-art Athletics & Wellness Centre as part of their daily student lives. We see, first-hand and over time, the benefit our contribution makes.”

Robynn and James McKenna (Elle, Grade 3; Cate, Grade 9; 10 years of consecutive giving)

For the last seven years, Branksome has been a second home to both Carina and Keira. When the girls walked through the Junior and Senior School [for the first time], it was the right fit for them and felt like home. We believe that Branksome has definitely prepared Carina for the next chapter in her academic career and we are confident it will do the same for Keira. It is rewarding to see how our annual contribution enhances all the extracurricular activities in the Branksome community and gives all the students the confidence to lead and succeed.”

PLANNED GIVING

We are honoured to recognize the many alums, parents, faculty and staff who have included Branksome Hall in their estate planning. Their lasting and meaningful legacy will provide students for generations to come with the opportunity to forge their own paths and become the change-makers of the future.

KEEP WELL THE BEAT

As an alum and current parent, Shelley KANITZ Letofsky’06 knows the future Kanitz Family Endowed Fund will help another musically inclined student find her own unique rhythm.

| Donor and Giving Report 2021–22

I went to Branksome for Grades 11 and 12. I felt cherished and noticed and taken care of. I felt that the faculty saw me for who I was, and for my individual value. Music teacher Nancy Olfert was a real mentor and friend to me. I was deeply involved in music during my time there, and I went on to become a competitive classical and operetta solo singer; I made it to the Ontario provincial finals. Branksome was the first school where I saw my worth, and it put me on a great path. This is our family’s way of ensuring other girls can meet their potential and shine.”
