Message from the Chair

RSGC Strategic Plan 2025 – KnightVision

his is my first yearly report as Chair of the Board. In short, the College is in great shape, as I will detail below. However, for me the most important project this year is one of looking forward. As you likely know, we have embarked on a process to plan and dream about the future of the College. We are calling this process RSGC Strategic Plan 2025 – KnightVision. This is an important exercise that will engage our community throughout the year. Please participate and help shape the future of RSGC. Fortunately, we are undertaking this strategic planning process from a position of strength. This is thanks to the attention and care of our entire community, including our many families and incredible students, our accomplished and growing body of alumni, our dedicated and expert faculty and staff,

our respected and caring Headmaster, our thoughtful and committed Board, and everyone else who contributes to our vibrant institution. I am grateful to this community. We all have a role in making RSGC the special place that it is - a place that embodies known and loved, fosters Manners Maketh Men and inspires each young man to become and aspire to be the best version of himself. The College’s financial results in 2017-18 were once again strong, and we are at full enrolment. The multiyear Junior School redevelopment is almost complete and follows the successful Great School, Great Boys campaign completed in 2016. The transformation of Ketchum Hall was the most spectacular element of this redevelopment, but there have been other important elements including the kitchen, the new foyer and the new classroom space for the Middle School, expected to be completed by next Fall. We look forward to a Gala in the Spring and other fundraising this year to support the final phase of work on the Junior School. On the governance front, we continue to maintain a busy schedule with important, regular and passionate involvement of the Board of Governors at the Board level and on committees. By design, we have term limits on the Board and have a regular focus and effort to involve qualified new people. In this regard, I am proud and delighted to welcome five great new Governors: Christine Allen, Brad

Holland, Alison Leung, Peter Mann and Clare Samworth. We said farewell to Jasmin von Teichman, Peter Furnish and Caroline Newell, all of whom served the school with great distinction in many roles over the years. To them, I say thank you yet again. Back to the future: I expect that the strategic planning process will affirm many of the values that the College has, but importantly, that it will update those values and set bold, courageous and ambitious objectives for the future. Among other priorities, the College will need to focus on becoming more inclusive and diverse in order to remain relevant. I look forward to working with the entire school community to develop, discuss, refine and launch our strategic plan over the next year. I especially look forward to working with Stephen Beatty. He is one of the leading Headmasters in Canada and is a central part of the success and reputation of the College. Ultimately, I have one simple goal for the year: to deliver the College to the next Chair in an even stronger place than I received it. I know that requires a massive team effort and I welcome, and appreciate, your involvement in moving us forward.

Message from the Treasurer

fter several years on the Audit and Finance Committee, I am pleased to assume the role of Treasurer to support the College. Another solid financial performance in 2018 has contributed positively to our overall strong financial foundation. Enrolment at the College continued to be very strong in Fiscal 2018, with 445 students, resulting in $14 million in tuition revenue. Including other revenue and donations, total revenue for the year was $15.8 million, compared to $16 million in the prior year. Approximately 70% of expenses continue to be allocated to salaries and benefits. Total expenses, including interest and depreciation, were $15.3 million compared to $15 million in the prior year, or a 2% increase year over year.

Salaries and benefits

Interest on long-term debt 0.56% Depreciation of capital assets 11.13% Fundraising expenses 0.09%

70.90%

Communications and advancement 0.98% Scholarships and bursaries 2.89% General and administration 3.36%

The College continues to invest funds in capital assets, with approximately $2 million spent during the year. While the main projects were the completion of Phase 2 and the commencement of Phase 3 of the Junior School Redevelopment Project (combined $1.7 million), amounts were also spent on ongoing renewal capital, classroom information technology, the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security system and classroom furniture. The final phase of the Junior School Redevelopment Project commenced this fiscal year and will be completed in Summer 2019. During the year, the College reduced its net debt level by $1.8 million. The College retains ample undrawn lending facilities should they be required, as we prepare for the additional capital investment ahead. Looking forward to Fiscal 2019, the College is fortunate to once again have continued strong enrolment. The new strategic plan to be developed over the course of the year, which will set the future direction of the College, will be key for the Audit and Finance Committee in overseeing the development of future financial plans and ensuring the necessary resources to meet our objectives. I would like to thank the Audit and Finance Committee for their dedication and support during my first year as Treasurer.

RSGC Annual Report 2017-18

Message from the Executive Director of Advancement Chi si volta, e chi si gira, sempre a casa va finire. This is an expression I heard my Italian mother rhyme throughout my childhood. Simply translated it means, “No matter where you turn, you will always end up at home.” Earlier this year, my colleagues and I found ourselves philosophizing about the College being like a second home, not only due to the many days we spend on campus, but also because of the other similarities these two places share — close relationships with those we see every day, modeling behaviour for our boys and the occasional heated debates. Next to our families, those with whom we spend the most time have a lasting and profound impact on our well-being. I am fortunate that those lifelong echoes in my head of the importance of family find me here at RSGC, a place that has always felt like home to me. This feeling of family exists amongst our parent community, alumni, teachers, volunteers and friends, and has translated into a successful year of support for the advancement of the College. Here are some highlights from the 2017/2018 school year: • 100% participation in giving from our Board of Directors, Foundation Board of Trustees and the RSGC Alumni Association Executive Board

• Annual Giving is at an all-time high of $993,998 • Completion of Phase 3 of the Great School, Great Boys campaign, with $4,000,000 previously raised and $125,000 in new pledges this year • Stevenson Family $100,000 Matching Gift Challenge to the Class of 2018 families collectively raised $232,000 for the Georgian Opportunity Fund • Annual Old Boys’ Dinner hosted 200 alumni, the highest attendance in recent years • Launch of the Alumni Job Resource Board where alumni can post jobs and recruit RSGC old boys Many thanks to the Advancement Committee of the Board, our Georgian Parents’ Guild, our Alumni Association Executive and our committed faculty and staff, all of whom we work with in partnership to help deliver our programs and in turn strengthen the RSGC community. We thank you for your continued generosity and support of our great school — our second home. Gratefully,

Maria Jordan, CFRE Executive Director of Advancement

Donor Profile

The Stevenson Family Matching Gift Challenge

om Stevenson and his wife Susan were inspired by a generous multiplier program at Lakefield College, Tom’s alma mater, and decided to propose something similar for RSGC, which their son Henry ’18 attended for six years. In the spring of 2018, Tom approached Headmaster Stephen Beatty ’86 with the idea of the Stevenson Family Matching Gift Challenge. Whatever the Class of 2018 families donated up to $100,000, the Stevenson’s would match. The result was an impressive $232,000 for the Georgian Opportunity Fund. The Fund provides up to 100 per cent tuition support to deserving boys who otherwise would not have access to a Georgian Education, and includes the uniform, books, school trips, extracurricular expenses, a laptop, TTC fare and daily lunch. There are currently four boys at the College benefitting from this fund. “We know there’s a real need for bursaries and endowments at RSGC. I thought this would be a great way to help others extend the potential of what this great school does for so many boys,” said Tom, who has a family bursary at Lakefield College. “I’ve talked to Henry about this and I think that most of the students at RSGC realize their good fortune. It’s a real privilege to go to the school, but it doesn’t come without considerable cost.” Tom believed that the “challenge” component would really entice other families to give, and knew that it would help differentiate this request from others. The plan came together quickly in May 2018, as the Stevenson’s knew that the window to grab the attention of fellow Class of 2018 parents was small. Once they became alumni parents, it would be too late. But the plan worked and the Stevenson’s exceeded their goal. Tom is thrilled. “I think it’s fabulous. Our hope is that another family from the Class of 2019 makes a similar challenge to their graduating parents to build on this momentum,” he said. “I see no reason why they couldn’t. I’m a big believer in bursaries and using education as a leveling of the playing field. There are so many kids

without it – so many kids who could bring different perspectives to the school. It’s very different when the boys don’t all come from affluent backgrounds.” Henry, who was very active in community service at RSGC and received a Steward Tie for his efforts in Grade 12, is proud of his family. “I was really surprised by the response and was really happy that we succeeded our goal. It sent out a great message,” said Henry. “Being able to give kids the opportunity to go to RSGC and have that experience myself – it’s just incredible.” Susan, who can’t speak highly enough about Henry’s experience at the College, says the family really values a good education. “We saw how Henry prospered at RSGC,” she said. “We know how important it is for all kids to be able to have that experience even if they can’t afford to go,” she said. “If we can give as a family, we’d rather it go towards a child’s education.” Both Tom and Susan appreciate what RSGC did for Henry. They also appreciate how hard they’ve had to work to send him to the College without the need for any financial aid. “It’s a privilege to be able to send your son to the school on your own – we all make sacrifices,” said Tom. “Hopefully Henry, if he’s successful in his career, will give back to his alma mater like I have to Lakefield. He realizes his good fortune in being sent to RSGC while avoiding the entitlement. It’s a very special place to learn and grow.”

A Message from the President of the Georgian Parents’ Guild

The Georgian Parents’ Guild is a volunteer association dedicated to supporting the academic, social, physical and spiritual environment of the students in the school, in partnership with the Headmaster and the school community.

eing Guild President is like being the conductor of a steam train. We set off in September and roared down the track with assorted passengers getting on and off at stations along the way. Although I rode up front, the train would still be stranded in the station if it were not for the team that takes the tickets and keeps the firebox full, the axles greased, the paint shiny and the food and drinks flowing. When we finally reach the end of the line, everyone gets to hop off at the station called Summer Vacation. My profound thanks to the entire crew for a busy, productive and happy year. To the Guild Executive, my deepest appreciation for your time, support and constant contact. Our school community continues to astonish me, especially our collective love and caring for the boys. We had a very successful year fundraising for the school. We made our third of six pledged annual commitments of $50,000 to the Capital Campaign, and $15,000 to Bursaries. Thanks to record-breaking cheese sales, an outstanding Mistletoe Market and overflowing orders for used uniforms and textbooks, we were able to make a further $20,000 donation to kick off the 2019 Gala campaign. But the Georgian Parents’ Guild, of which all parents are members, is about so much more than fundraising. It is about supporting RSGC and our boys in countless, unsung ways. It is about collegiality, friendship, outreach and simply being Georgian. I feel I learned so much more than I gave this past year, and it has been my honour to lead such a dedicated group of volunteers. I look forward to welcoming the many new faces on campus and at Guild events over the next year. Clare Samworth Guild President 2017-18 Andrew (Class of 2023)
