TMS Wellness Committee

TMS has an amazing group of 185 staff and faculty! We seek to be an employer of choice and consistently have numerous applications to our positions. We love the fact that when people come to TMS, they stay. Our average tenure is 12 years although we have teachers who have been here for over 25 years!

At TMS we understand that supporting employee and community wellbeing is an essential component of fostering a rewarding and sustainable work environment. This includes designing and implementing policies, processes and programs that enrich all aspects of health - physical, mental, emotional and occupational. In the past few months, we have created a TMS Wellbeing Committee with a mandate to support positive mental health and wellbeing through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The committee is comprised of volunteer staff and faculty, across both campuses, with diverse personal backgrounds, roles, and functions within the school. The committee is undertaking an extensive review of the school’s wellbeing initiatives in Education; Strategy, Sustainability, and Assessment; Program Development; and Social and Physical Environments. The group will be exploring ways to enhance mental health for employees through fun activities to build a culture of wellbeing and by providing access to information about how to take care of personal mental health and wellness.

Finally…Together Again! Highlights from the 2023 Titan Gala

After four long years, over 420 guests made their way to the Titan Gala at the Universal Event Space in Vaughan. Current and new families, TMS alumni, community partners, faculty and staff were treated to a night of fun activities, delicious food and unparalleled entertainment, celebrating the joy of being together in-person once again.

First-ever Titan Gala After Party! As guests enjoyed their meals, the lobby was transformed into our own indoor Carnival – where guests could play games and win raffle tickets for one of four great prizes – the top prize being an Omega watch.

From signed jerseys, to premium sport event tickets to unique pieces of art, donors from all levels of the school supported the Titan Gala by donating hundreds of items for the silent auction and our main live auction. Lower School classroom photo trays and the Top 10 photos from the Upper School Photography contest were especially hot items on the digital auction site.

Prior to the event, a Virtual Titan Talk was held with fashion expert and TV personality Mana Mansour on what to wear at the gala.

The event would not be possible without our amazing sponsors and donors, all of whom contributed to the success of the event. Thank you!

Also, a big thank you to Gala Chairs Debbie Fung and Jenn Gilroy, as well as a very engaged and enthusiastic Gala committee, for their time and commitment on crafting a fun, memorable event, one that engaged the entire community.

After a couple of challenging years, the TMS Community told us they wanted to be Together Again and the Titan Gala delivered on all fronts.

Immersing Parents New to TMS with the Community

It is exciting when a new family joins the TMS community. To celebrate, TMS hosted New to TMS Parent Events at both the Lower and Upper School to provide parents an opportunity to hear from various members of our school community, receive preparatory information to support their child’s introduction to the school, and to get insight on what they could expect from the school in the coming months. It was incredible to have parents visit both campuses and engage with both faculty and staff. They felt comfortable to ask the many burning questions that they had, and really create a connection with the school and its greater family. These events also served as an opportunity to meet other parents of children in the same grade level, and help create new connections before the school year begins. We are excited to welcome all the new students and parents to the TMS community!
