Andrean Annual Report - Fall 2015

ST. ANDREW’S COLLEGE

ANNUAL REPORT 2015 J.P. Martin, grade 10

Headmaster’s 2015 Prize Day Speech The following is an edited version of the speech given by Headmaster Kevin McHenry at SAC’s Prize Day ceremony in June.

I

t is a privilege for me to welcome everyone to this, the 116th Graduates’ Class Prize Day ceremony in our brand new Wirth Theatre at St. Andrew’s College. I would like to thank the members of the graduating class for voting overwhelmingly in favour of holding this ceremony in this beautiful space.

The 2014-2015 academic year has been extremely positive and successful. There is no doubt that the main reason we have enjoyed such a fantastic year is because of the 124 young men sitting on this stage. I want to sincerely thank each and every member of this graduating class for setting such a positive tone throughout the year.

This is also a very patient group of young men. It has been somewhat of a grind for all of us as we have added $42 million in facilities over the past four years. I’m happy that we were able to keep our promise to ensure the grads would be able to enjoy the facilities for a period of time. I’m hoping that you will continue to enjoy all that St. Andrew’s has to offer through frequent visits back to your school as Old Boys.

Before I share more information about this class, I would like to thank everyone in this auditorium who took the time to complete the surveys this spring. There were a total of five groups surveyed in March—parents, students, faculty, staff, and Old Boys.

I’m pleased to report that the feedback we received from the surveys was extremely positive. From preliminary results, the 2015 survey indicated that 91% of parents have a very strong overall level of satisfaction with St. Andrew’s. [See fall 2015 Andrean, page 14 for an article on the survey.]

One statistic that I found quite interesting … a whopping 99% of parents said their son enjoys going to school. This is great news, but that figure is even hard for me to believe! I would love to take the credit for this but I know that, without a 2 FALL 2015

doubt, it’s primarily because of the people sitting behind me.

I’d like to thank this group of incredibly talented educators: classroom teachers, advisors, coaches and, of course, Housemasters. They are the ones who have brought out the best in your sons and have taught them, not only course lessons, but life lessons. There is absolutely nothing more important in a school than the quality of the teaching faculty. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and gifted group of educators at St. Andrew’s.

Two of the greatest indicators that help to measure a healthy school culture are low staff attrition and high student retention.

St. Andrew’s consistently measures at the top of the charts for both of these important indicators. On that note, I would like to recognize three additions to our 25-year club. Please join me in congratulating faculty members Rob Giel and Fraser Cowell, as well as Edna Collins, Associate Director of Advancement,

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

for their outstanding service to St. Andrew’s over the past quarter century.

Turning our focus back to our graduates, it is apparent to me that this group of exceptional young men love their school. As I have already mentioned, they have set a wonderful tone all year, and I couldn’t be more proud of their collective commitment and excellence.

It has been an honour to watch them lead our school this year. Whether it was during an emotional Carol Service, while eating haggis during our St. Andrew’s meals, or during Paintball a couple of weeks ago, the brotherhood is alive and well for the Class of 2015.

Academically, they have 552 university offers and have been awarded $1.6 million in scholarships. The average number of university offers per student is 4.5. Sixty-five percent of the class will attend university in Ontario with the University of Toronto leading the way with 25 students heading to the big city in the fall. Queen’s, Western, and Laurier are also popular choices for the boys.

Thirteen percent of the student body will attend an out-ofprovince university with a total of 10 boys heading to British Columbia to study in September. Almost 10% of the class will continue with their post-secondary education in the United States with acceptances to a number of American schools including Brown University, University of Southern California, University of Minnesota, New York University, and Harvard.

Four percent will study overseas in the United Kingdom.

With all these offers, it’s been a very successful year academically. Outside the classroom, this group of young men certainly stayed true to the mission of the School.

The diversity of individual talent is incredible for this class.

It’s not possible to mention each of your accomplishments this past year; I’m sure that everyone agrees this is truly an exceptional group of young men. Some examples: • David “Buster” Brown (90%): From 1st Soccer CISAA champion goaltender to eccentric preacher in God and Hockey

Jordan Brown (91%): From piper to expert curler to robotics champion • Brandon Coverdale (91%): Ms. Chasson’s “right arm” in the Music Department to expert curler to star student taking multiple AP courses • Andre Chan (85%): From providing SLG academic support to his peers in the residence to badminton phenom.

He captained our Badminton team to five gold medals in five divisions; a clean sweep, never done before • Jake Mahfood (87%): From 1st Soccer MVP to 1st Squash MVP – undefeated for the first time ever • Duncan Robertson (88%): From fantastic athlete to the best Regimental Sgt. Major that Mr. McCue has worked with to the best Head of House we have ever had in Mac House (according to Mr. Galadja) • Brian Wang: (84%): Best captain of 1st Swimming – broke three school records and was part of the 4x50 relay team that won OFSAA in addition to being Cadet Platoon Commander for Memorial I wish I could go on, but I get the sense that the boys want to be given their diplomas before midnight!

In closing, I would once again like to sincerely thank each and every member of the Class of 2015. Whatever your affiliation to the School, you are always welcome here. I hope to see each of you at Homecoming on October 3 and at Carol Service [now An Andrean Christmas at Roy Thomson Hall] on December 11.

Grads, I am sure you look forward to what is ahead of you while feeling a little anxious of what is to come. I say with confidence, you are well-prepared and very capable. Congratulations and best of luck in the future!

Message from Scott Hayter Executive Director of Advancement

A “ We are so fortunate to have received the level of support asked of our Andrean community to be able to construct a facility like this.”

—Scott Hayter

4 FALL 2015

number of Andreans have commented on the success of our capital projects, essentially saying, “So, it’s all done, and you can rest a bit now!” Of course, we appreciate their thoughts, but the reality is that we never sit still at SAC, and there will always be capital initiatives on the go.

Certainly, none may ever again approach the size and scope of our new Centre for Leadership, Innovation & Performance, which opened to great fanfare on May 2, 2015. It is undoubtedly an amazing teaching and learning facility. I have to pinch myself that it isn’t a dream as I walk through it, often on my way to the newly-renovated Cole Dining Hall for lunch—the route from Dunlap Hall to the dining area is now enclosed through the new building. In fact, you can walk along the Dunlap Link and then, depending on the floor, walk by either the wonderful new Business & Entrepreneurship Centre or the extraordinary Bob & Jilla Williams Band Room, to get to the new Merkel Family Lobby to line up for food served in the Macpherson Family Servery. And, if you haven’t seen it yet, please come and check out the Wirth Theatre.

We are so fortunate to have received the level of support asked of our Andrean community to be able to construct a facility like this. There is not a school in North America with drama facilities to compare to ours. Recently, Terry Prezens, who teaches engineering and robotics in our Dunin Family

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Engineering Centre, showed me a functional prosthetic hand created in his lab with our 3D printer. He has registered St. Andrew's College as a school that will provide child amputees in our area with finger prosthetics. The plastic has been donated free to us for a year. How awesome is that?!

We are almost finished with the renovation of the old West Annex building, which has been renamed the Petrachek McGillivray Pipes & Drums Centre. Yes, finally our Pipes & Drums have a facility designed specifically for the teaching and learning of their wonderful music. We appreciate the support of the Petrachek family for their leadership gift for this project, and we ask our Andrean community to help us continue to raise funds for this facility.

The next capital project is a new tennis centre with six courts and additional parking. This will be developed east of the La Brier Family Arena. More information about this exciting initiative will be coming soon.

Our financial statements for the fiscal year end show a healthy endowment fund of $29,965,842. Of the $7,579,498 transferred to the School, $1,059,973 came from endowed funds, and the remainder came from pledge payments and annual gifts. These funds contributed to the over $2 million in scholarships and bursaries awarded by the School to 27% of the student body.

As a community we have done well and are proud of our

accomplishments. Our endowment provides over a million dollars annually to the School. We are extremely grateful; however, that is not enough to help us maintain our facilities and also provide for the needs of deserving students who otherwise could not afford to experience all St. Andrew’s has to offer. You will hear us talking more about growing our endowment and how you can support your school in that way.

So, if you happen to see me in the hallway or at an event, be sure to ask me what our future plans are. We have exciting times ahead, and I want to share them with you.

How is SAC Funded?

The audit for St. Andrew’s College was conducted in August 2015 by Smith Sykes Leeper and Tunstall for the year ending June 30, 2015.

Statement of Operations The breakdown of expenses and revenues is shown in graphical format on the right.

For internal purposes and for the purpose of setting tuition fees, the Board does not budget for depreciation; however, we did allocate $1.5 million toward major expenses on plant repairs and maintenance in 2014-2015.

Tuition & Mandatory Fees

SAC Revenues 2014–2015 Tuition revenues and mandatory fees are the primary revenue source. Ancillary revenue is comprised of interest income, housing rentals, summer program revenue, Campus Shop revenue, and rental of facilities. Donations toward operating costs were $1.64 million in 2015, with just over $1 million coming from the SAC endowment fund.

SAC Expenses 2014–2015 The expense chart depicts expenses based on a functional division. Salaries and wages represent approximately 56% of our total budget but are included within the functional areas.

The percentage of expenses in each category is very stable year over year.

Academic and co-curricular expenses refer to all student program activities including athletics, Cadets, library, and resident support services. Buildings, grounds, and maintenance expenses include utilities, insurance, repairs, and replacement of small capital items.

Financial Aid represents just over $2 million in bursaries and scholarships.

PLANNING Making your money go further and tax savings are two BIG reasons to consider planned giving

or some donors, there’s no time like the present: cash gifts can lead to immediate benefits for the School, which are always warmly appreciated. But a reliable and proven program of planned giving is often preferable, for several reasons.

The term “planned giving” is most commonly linked to bequests, in that many donors generously choose to leave a certain portion of their estate to St. Andrew’s College.

“A gift from your accumulated assets can allow you to make a much larger donation than would be possible in your lifetime,” says Edna Collins, SAC’s Associate Director of Advancement.

But St. Andrew’s has also developed a number of other unique charitable plans. Over the years, these can enable donors to see their legacy in action. Small gifts over time often produce large results. Further, planned giving offers multiple avenues of tax relief, in the form of charitable, capital gains, and estate deductions.

Every donor automatically becomes a member of the Andrean Legacy Society, which allows the School to recognize contributions through publications and special events.

Here are the stories of two Andrean families, who worked closely with SAC to select planned giving programs tailored to their exact needs and capabilities.

AHEAD

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

“ There are a lot of kids who would make great St. Andrew’s students, but who could never dream of coming. If we can help to give some of them the chance to do that, it would be wonderful.”

Current parents Bianca and Jonathan Harris

A

s the president of a successful manufacturing business, Jonathan Harris ’82 has always respected innovative thinking. So when he and wife Bianca learned about St. Andrew’s unique life insurance program, it struck them as a creative way of giving back to the School that has played a significant role in their family for many years.

The Harrises have three sons. Joshua ’09 and Alex ’11 are now university graduates, while Oliver ’17 is in grade 11. Young Oliver might seem an unlikely candidate for a life insurance policy; however, his youth and health are actually real advantages, in that they radically lower the cost of premiums. These payments are matched by the School, which owns the policy and is named as the beneficiary.

It’s a charitable giving situation that has translated to immediate tax benefits for the Harrises, while they continue to build equity in the policy. “It allows you, with donations that are not very significant in themselves, to one day really provide a lasting legacy to the School,” says Bianca.

The family has directed the proceeds from this policy to the Bursary and Scholarship program, which will ultimately enrich SAC’s endowment. “There are a lot of kids who would make great St. Andrew’s students,” says Jonathan, “but who could never dream of coming. If we can help to give some of them the chance to do that, it would be wonderful.”

The Harris family set up their plan with Oliver’s full participation. “He sat in on the meetings, asked questions, and learned how life insurance works. He felt proud to know that one day he would leave a lasting legacy to St. Andrew’s College,” says Bianca.

Absorbing life skills is, of course, essential to a St. Andrew’s education, alongside academics and a vast array of co-curricular activities. This breadth, more than anything, explains why families such as the Harrises are so interested in giving back.

“The School really supports our boys to become well-rounded citizens,” says Jonathan. “It’s the complete package.”

He cites St. Andrew’s global reach as one of its strongest aspects: “Here, you’ve got opportunities to travel and see the world—whether it’s through historical trips or meeting classmates from 31 countries.” Jonathan now travels extensively for work; he has encountered Andreans in places as far afield as Hong Kong and Athens, Georgia, where his company has apparel-manufacturing plants. “Even when you’re a long way from home,” he says, “you’ve got that instant connection.”

In fact, the Harris ties to St. Andrew’s are so extensive that the School might almost be considered a family member itself.

Jonathan’s father Peter was SAC Board Chairman from 1979 to 1996, while Bianca’s brother Oliver Herbst ’88 is also an Old Boy. Fittingly, the couple (who met while students at the University of Toronto) were married in St. Andrew’s Memorial Chapel. Bianca chaired the Red & White Gala last year, and currently serves as Vice-President of the Parents Guild.

It’s an illustrious story that promises to continue for many years to come. Life insurance is a long-term investment, where benefits accrue toward a large payout in the future. Which, when you think of it, is a perfect metaphor for the Harris family’s happy Andrean experience.

“Establishing a trust fund was an opportunity for us to repay some of that generosity, and put something in place that will help the next generation …”

F

or Tony and Rosemary Nichols, paying it forward is what counts.

The Aurora-based couple have never forgotten that independent school education for their own three children (including son James ’93) was made possible, in part, by the generosity of donors in the School community. Now, they want others to enjoy the same extraordinary benefits.

There was never any question that St. Andrew’s College was the right choice for James: “We hadn’t realized how bored he was in the public system,” says Tony. Switching to an independent school—first at Ottawa’s Ashbury College, then at St. Andrew’s—changed all that. “His whole perspective changed; he started to smile again and was really very happy. He got an awful lot out of it.”

Tony counts teacher dedication, sports, and access to facilities that are “beyond compare” as being especially significant to James’ experience at St. Andrew’s. A standout football player in high school, he went on to play on the varsity team at McGill.

“The camaraderie associated with St. Andrew’s athletic programs was such that James continues to have strong associations with the School,” continues Tony. “But the arts programs are a great stimulus too, for those who aren’t athletically inclined. Overall, I think the extra-curricular programs are as valuable as the teaching.” To this day such advantages remain equally powerful for Tony’s grandson and James’ nephew, A.J. Nichols ’21, who is in grade 7 this year.

Growing up, both Tony and Rosemary benefited from private school education themselves: Rosemary at Genazzano College in Melbourne, Australia, and Tony at Tonbridge School in his native England. “So we always had a preference for it for our children, if we could ever afford it,” says the retired chemical engineer and business executive.

However, funding 18 years of first-class education for James and his siblings proved understandably difficult. “We couldn’t possibly have done it without financial assistance—which meant assistance from parents and the schools themselves.

10 FALL 2015

That made it all possible. Establishing a trust fund was an opportunity for us to repay some of that generosity, and put something in place that will help the (l-r) A.J., James, Rosemary, and Tony Nichols. next generation of students going through St. Andrew’s.”

So it was that eight years ago, Tony and Rosemary established the Nichols Family Trust Fund. Each year they contribute securities rather than cash, resulting in what Tony calls a “double benefit” from a tax perspective: in addition to receiving initial relief for their donation to the School, the family’s donations are also exempt from capital gains tax that could be applicable to the securities.

The positive effects of this form of giving are certainly wide-ranging. In addition to ongoing tax advantages and the satisfaction of repaying the kindness previously shown them, the Nichols family know that they are sustaining a tradition of financial aid that, with rising costs, is becoming ever more important.

This is the first year that money will be disbursed from the trust; the Nichols family will consequently be allowed to know who is benefiting from their donation (and student recipients, in turn, to know who has helped them). Financial support of such boys, says Tony, is “increasingly desirable: both to broaden the selection of students and to increase opportunities for them to get an independent school education. St. Andrew’s has long had an excellent Foundation, which provides backing too. But there is always room to do more. And that will only happen if more people are prepared to give.”

Parents Guild

Enriching student life and Andrean community spirit

The Parents Guild was recognized for its significant contributions to the School in June with the naming of the foyer outside Ketchum Auditorium in its honour. The Parents Guild has over 200 active volunteers who dedicate their time to countless initiatives to benefit the School and its students. As well, the PG Executive has contributed and pledged $1 million to the Not An Ordinary Place Campaign.

Angela Wood-Macgregor, 2014-2015 Parents Guild President, member of the SAC Board of Governors, and mother of Chase ’16 and Cole ’15 Macgregor. Prior to relinquishing her role to 2015-2016 PG President Lenore Collis, Angela said she felt it was fitting to change the tag line “St. Andrew’s is not an ordinary place” to “St. Andrew’s is an extraordinary place.”

At Prize Day, Angela presented Kevin Chong ’15 the Donald B. Spence Award for Creative Writing.

Dhruv Krishnan ’15 Valedictory Remarks

A

ndré Gide, a famous French writer, once said “Ah! Jeunesse – l’homme ne la possède qu’un temps et le reste du temps la rappelle.” Youth!

People possess it for a certain time and spend the rest of their life recalling it.

How true! I think the same can be said for our SAC careers, a major part of our youth. I am positive we are all going to reminisce about fond memories of times spent here. It has been a journey of two years for some, seven for others, and four for me. We will all be heading in different directions, but I know we are still in the early stages of what are sure to be lifelong relationships with each other and the School.

A key part of the student life here is working your way up the hierarchy, or the food chain. New boys usually start off as the grass and menial shrubs, followed by grade 9s as bottom feeders, eventually working up to grade 12s, who have a trump card known as “Grad Privileges.”

I was shy and apprehensive when I first walked into my room at Mac House. I longed for the day when I could turn around and call others “new boys” or when I had grad privileges in the lunch line. But soon, the School became my home away from home.

It’s a place where we often spend 12–14 hours a day, working, practicing, or just spending quality time with friends.

I have been fortunate to be able to take advantage of the resources and facilities offered here. The new infrastructure including the sports facilities and, the Centre for Leadership, Innovation & Performance, as well as the cutting-edge technology used to impart knowledge are a testament to the School’s endless efforts to embrace excellence.

Our experiences here will definitely hold us in good stead

as we embark on the next phase of our career. The School has also given us hundreds of “brothers,” whom we can depend on to lend a hand whenever needed.

Faculty have been mentors, parent-like figures, and even friends. They held our hands and carried us over the hump and celebrated with us during our successes. Another group of people who absolutely have to be thanked today are the parents. I can’t thank my parents enough for everything they have done for me. They’ve gone to all sorts of lengths to help me succeed and enjoy my time in high school. I also have to thank my Andrean “brothers” for the support they have given me over the last four years.

The time spent here is like the feeling you get when reading a gripping novel. There is excitement every time you turn the page and you never want it to end. But in this beautiful game, we have to move on and make way for new players.

As we get ready to face new challenges, we will certainly come up against tough situations and testing times in both our personal and professional paths. Use your better judgment and always recall these fond memories, and your Andrean brothers will always be there to help at difficult times. I am sure the Old Boy tie, that we will wear proudly, will give us the strength to overcome such situations.

This is a condensed version of the speech delivered by Dhruv Krishan at the Graduates’ Prize Day Ceremony on June 12, 2015. Dhruv is in his first year at Queen’s University, in the Queen’s Accelerated Route to Medical School (QuARMS) program.
