TABLE OF CONTENTS

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Before the first brick of our school was laid, before our city came into being, there was the land since time immemorial, and all of the life on the land – the water, the earth, the trees, the animals and every living being.

Our school has called these lands home for just over 110 years, a fleeting minute in the history of this place. University of Toronto Schools is situated on the traditional territory of many First Nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Today the city surrounding our school is home to the enduring presence of many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples from across Turtle Island.

As a school community, we come together to honour the sacred spirit of this land by learning, sharing our knowledge and caring for each other. Our mission is to make a difference

in the world. We seek to bring more honest representations of Indigenous experiences, knowledge and histories into our curriculum, and to understand our country’s true present and past. Many privileges have brought us to this school, and we pledge to leverage them to make our society a more affirming, equitable place for Indigenous peoples with meaningful action to further Reconciliation, in our work and in our lives.

We also acknowledge that we must care for the land, which is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and also by The Dish With One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabek and the Haudenosaunee.

In The Dish With One Spoon treaty, the dish represents the land. The dish must never become empty, as the people safeguard the land, the earth, the water and all the life within for the next seven generations to come, and beyond.

A Year of Magical Learning

Every day at UTS is a wonder.

My inaugural year as UTS principal has been full of inspiration and awe. The energy, enthusiasm and excellence our students bring to their education at UTS, and the way our staff meet them at every turn, supporting their innovations, igniting their minds and expanding their possibilities – UTS truly is a principal’s dream, highly exhilarating and deeply satisfying.

The 2023-24 school year has been a whirlwind of activity, celebration and commitment. From the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to diverse cultural occasions such as Lunar New Year, international competitions to athletics and UTS-led events like the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly, our highly engaged students make a difference in the lives of others around them.

This year, we reimagined the UTS Strategic Plan, anchoring it with our new mission: we ignite the brightest minds to make a difference in the world. At the heart of the Plan are strategies to further the longstanding UTS tradition of academic excellence and our commitment to inclusion. We envision a future where equity and inclusion transcend ideals to become living principles – integral to our

curriculum, essential to our culture and evident in every human connection.

Our endeavors are enhanced by our school’s affiliation with the University of Toronto, which connects our school with some of the greatest minds in our city and our world. UTS alumni also play an integral role, having a profound impact on the world at-large and with their enduring commitment to our school, even decades after Graduation.

UTS is a school unlike any other, brimming with ideas and possibilities. Our tradition of academic achievement and influence has thrived for more than 110 years, and with our new Strategic Plan, we will further the excellence of this revered institution. I feel immense gratitude to have joined the UTS community. Every day unfolds like a new adventure in education, as our students transcend the boundaries of their possibilities together, developing the resilience, knowledge and skills to build a more just, equitable world, and carry our school forward into the future.

Dr. Leanne Foster UTS Principal

Bursaries Break Down Barriers

UTS students converge at our school from across the Greater Toronto Area, with a wide range of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, sharing one common element: their incredible love of learning.

At UTS, they unleash their curiosity and hone their academic agility among like-minded peers. For many students, the school feels like a revelation, a place where their most intellectual, esoteric and ambitious inclinations are not only accepted but encouraged.

The benefits of the UTS experience resonate throughout their lives, opening the door to possibilities and relationships they never even imagined.

There’s no other school like UTS. In order to maintain our traditions of academic excellence, and to graduate alumni who truly make a difference in the world, it is so important that we build the financial resources to ensure that the brightest and most motivated students who should be at UTS can attend.

Finances should never stand in the way of a UTS education. In spring 2024, we made UTS bursary history, with $2.6 million in funds allocated to students for the 2024-25 school year, the largest amount ever provided. UTS also funded

the largest number of students ever, with 99 students receiving some form of bursary support, including 32 students who were fully funded by bursary to attend our school.

The support doesn’t end when the students walk through our doors. We also strive to ensure that students can participate fully in the vibrant school life of UTS while they are here, without financial barriers.

While we are awarding more bursaries to more students than ever before in our school's history, there is much more work to do. In typical UTS fashion, we aim high: we want to be able to provide bursaries to every student who needs one, to ensure that the best and brightest students are able to attend. The socioeconomic diversity created by the UTS Bursary Program is far-reaching, fostering a richer educational environment for all of our students, empowering them to reach their full potential as global citizens, collaborative leaders and most importantly, as human beings.

Peter Buzzi ’77 UTS Board Chair

A New Strategy Leading for the Future

In the heart of our new home at 371 Bloor Street West, a renaissance is unfolding. As transcendent music fills Withrow Auditorium and the echoes of cheers reverberate through McIntyre Gymnasium, our school pulses with renewed energy and purpose. The 2023-24 academic year marks a significant milestone – over 18 months since we returned to our newly renovated school building, breathing fresh life and new ideas into our beloved campus.

With our new home came new leadership. Dr. Leanne Foster became the school’s 15th principal in September 2023, joining UTS Board Chair Peter Buzzi ’77, who took the helm in January 2023.

We have our leadership, we have our home and we have our calling.

UTS is home to an illustrious tradition of excellence and influence. For more than 110 years, our alumni have touched the lives of our country and our world in extraordinary ways. They have

become leaders and diplomats, worldbuilders and changemakers, business executives and humanitarians, with a profound impact on greater society. The challenge that lies before us is to carry forward this tradition into an unknowable future, amid an increasingly complex and competitive global landscape with innovation, adaptability and unwavering commitment to our core values.

We are preparing students for a future that doesn’t exist yet in the face of rapid-fire technological change, the onset of artificial intelligence, the realities of climate change and geopolitical uncertainties. We can’t know all of the challenges our students will face in their lifetimes, but we can prepare them to be ready, with the skills, mindset and capacity to build solutions to these challenges.

To fulfill our mission, we must be strategic and forward-thinking. We need a plan that will continue our school’s legacy of profound impact by graduating students who are ready

A NEW YORK MOMENT

The strength of the UTS community converges in surprising and exciting ways. This spring, on the annual Arts trip to New York City, students and staff immersed themselves in the luminous experience of the Summit One Vanderbilt, on the 91st to 93rd floors of the skyscraper above Grand Central Station. They marvelled at Air , the Kenzo Digital art installation that aims to reset and expand the senses, just one of many ways our students experienced the City’s arts scene. The trip was planned to align with our annual New York City Branch Event for our many alumni living and working in the city, giving both students and alumni the opportunity to attend an exciting new musical together, with a UTS connection. The Outsiders was choreographed by UTS alumni Rick Kuperman '07 and Jeff Kuperman '08, the Kuperman Brothers, in their Broadway debut. After the event, the brothers hosted a special post-performance conversation for students and alumni about their journey from UTS to Broadway. Since then, they were nominated for a Tony Award for best choreography, and The Outsiders won the Tony for Best New Musical, Best Direction, Best Sound Design and Best Lighting Design.

THE UTS STRATEGIC PLAN A mission to carry us forward

OUR BOLD MISSION

We ignite the brightest minds to make a difference in the world.

A VISION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

To advance our longstanding tradition of academic excellence as a global leader in education, including through our affiliation with the University of Toronto and our partnership with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

VALUES OF COMMUNITY

We commit to be:

▷ respectful of each others' rights, differences and ideas.

▷ accountable for our actions, behaviours and words.

▷ honest and have integrity in our interactions individually and as a community.

ANTI-RACISM, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We envision a future where equity and inclusion transcend ideals to become living principles – integral to our curriculum, essential to our culture and evident in every human connection. We foster culture, curriculum, relationships and policies that support an anti-racist, equity-driven, diverse and inclusive school.

FIVE PILLARS FOR THE FUTURE

As we go forward, our work will be guided by five pillars, propelled to greater heights by our affiliation with the University of Toronto and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).

CALCULUS, VECTORS AND ROLLER COASTERS

In May, Senior students explored the connections between calculus and vectors, and their applications to the roller coasters at Canada's Wonderland. They discovered how segments of roller coasters can be modelled using polynomial and rational functions, and how key features of the graph of these functions can translate to roller coaster design and functionality. Naturally, it was necessary to ride the roller coasters as part of this educational process.

LEADING IN LEARNING

Learning is about courage. We encourage students to ask the hard questions, challenge the status quo and lead with conviction.

Leveraging our affiliation with the University of Toronto, we challenge and change our existing practices to ensure diverse perspectives and pedagogies are embedded in the curriculum and inform our work in anti-racism, equity, diversity and

inclusion. We provide an education grounded with real-world applications and rapidly evolving technologies that prepares students to think critically in our age of digital disruption.

Benchmarking and key performance indicators, both internally and externally, will help measure our success.

INCLUSION BY DESIGN

We are more committed than ever to intentionally create a school culture where every identity is valued and every student feels at home.

Diversity is fundamental to who we are as a school. We are actively reaching out to historically underrepresented communities to increase awareness of UTS as the destination of choice for high-achieving students, and addressing barriers to admissions. Admissions is about ability, mindset and potential, determined through a wide range of evaluations for students. Once students are here, we will ensure students can participate fully, without financial barriers, through an enhanced UTS Bursary Program. The goal is for our school to be free of discrimination, harassment and exclusion, and for students to see themselves reflected in our community and know they belong.

BELONGING AND WELLNESS

Success is a process – not the final result. True achievement is built on a foundation of well-being.

We are deeply committed to a positive school culture where students can flourish both academically and personally. We work to meet the diverse needs of our students, enhance

their well-being and help every student thrive at UTS, and beyond.

IMPACT WITH INTEGRITY

At UTS, we believe that true leadership is defined by empathy, integrity and a drive to effect positive change. The achievements of our alumni stand as living proof. Driven by courage and committed to justice, our graduates shape a more fair and equitable world.

We prepare our students to further this legacy with leadership skills for a complex future: critical thought, effective collaboration, skilled communication and kindness. Respectful engagement is core to the UTS experience. Regardless of our different ideas and beliefs, we teach students to listen and engage with others. Our goal is to graduate global citizens who seek to be of service and contribute to the sustainability and health of the planet. Part of this includes upholding our school’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and Right Relations.

BETTER TOGETHER

We develop positive relationships, partnerships and research that amplify learning and strengthen community. We work to expand and deepen partnerships with the University of Toronto as part of our Affiliation Agreement, as well as supporting education research by OISE and through the Eureka! Research Institute at UTS. We deepen our connections through community partnerships and by working with UTS parents and alumni to maintain a vibrant school community, strengthening the bonds of our school.

INCREASED EMPHASIS ON DATA COLLECTION AND BENCHMARKING

With the new Strategic Plan came an increasing emphasis on data to assess

RENDEZVOUS AT HARVARD

UTS students visiting Boston for the Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament in fall 2023 dined with several young alumni in the Boston area: Seb Bowley ’23 and Eric Shen ’21, who are attending Harvard; Kat Dou ’23, Rachel Ma ’19 and Jennifer Wang ’21 at MIT; Daniel Weintraub ’18, who is working in Boston as a software engineer, and Daniel Yang ’22 at Princeton, who was helping to facilitate the tournament. “We saw how UTS continues after high school, how you can still meet with people, be friends and stay connected with your fellow students after you've graduated. They’re awesome people and it was great to talk to them and see how their university life is going,” said S6 (grade 12) Jeffrey, one of 12 students representing UTS at the tournament.

our academic achievement and progress in our work on anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion. Our ongoing aim is to gather as much information

OUT OF COVID ISOLATION CAME GENIUS

When faced with social isolation during the summer of 2020, UTS M3 (grade 9) student Siddhesh got busy – taking a deep dive to read everything he could about immunology. He began to see the potential of how certain subtypes of memory T cells could be used to prevent cancer, asking himself, “How come no one’s done this as a review paper before?” So he did it. As an S6 (grade 12) student, he became one of the youngest authors ever published in TheJournalofImmunology , and works at research labs at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the Salk Institute near San Diego. His advice: “Don’t do things to look good – do something because you are genuinely interested.”

as possible about the experience of the entire UTS community. For the last two years, we have surveyed our students to gauge the sense of belonging they feel at UTS and to find out where there is a need for improvements. This year, we also began an annual survey of UTS families and regular surveying of staff. With year-over-year results, we have

the capacity to identify issues that matter to our school community and develop effective strategies to address them.

Numerous other benchmarks are used to assess our success including annual standardized testing such as the International Schools’ Assessment (ISA) for F1 (grade 7) and M3 (grade 9) tests, PSATs and AP exams. We also track our performance in national and international competitions.

CAIS ACCREDITATION

This year, UTS embarked on a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to excellence – the accreditation process to become a member of Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS). CAIS Accreditation provides our school an invaluable opportunity to reflect on our educational practices, acknowledge our successes and identify areas where we can continue to grow. As part of the process, we began an extensive SelfStudy, evaluating all aspects of our school from academic programs and student life to governance and financial stewardship, against the comprehensive framework of 12 rigorous national CAIS standards. In fall 2024, we were visited by a CAIS Peer Review Team to receive valuable external perspectives and feedback on our strength and opportunities for growth.

Accreditation will ensure UTS remains accountable to the highest standards of independent education, and allow our school to be part of a vital network of Canada’s leading independent schools, continually learning and sharing best practices to enhance the education we provide to our students.

Together we thrive

THE POWER

OF PARTNERSHIPS

IN RESEARCH AND LEARNING

We commit to the transformative power of partnerships to build upon each other’s knowledge, amplify our learning and strengthen our community.

UTS is officially affiliated with one of the foremost universities in the world, the University of Toronto. Through our work as an educational institution, we support the University’s mission and goals and like the University, we seek to lead in learning.

Our school location on U of T’s St. George Campus and our ongoing engagement with the University allow for a mutual flow of learning between our students and staff with the worldclass educational leaders and innovative minds at U of T. Through our U of T affiliation, we endeavour to give our students and teachers opportunities to learn from leading experts. With our long-standing partnership with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), we serve as a resource and facility through practicebased learning and research for the master of teaching program at OISE. We also further research in the field of learning and education through our

in-house research institute, the Eureka! Research Institute at UTS, involving our staff and students in the process.

Our U of T partnerships come to life in many ways, from research collaborations, guest speakers, co-designed curriculum for UTS and U of T students, collaborative conversations and the creation of exciting co-designed summer programs offered at UTS.

BRINGING EDUCATION RESEARCH TO LIFE AT UTS

How can we build a developmentally responsive curriculum for highperforming middle school students? How does anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion impact the student experience? Can the use of therapy dogs as an icebreaker help students become more comfortable in accessing social work services? These are a few of several ongoing research projects funded through the Eureka! Research Institute at UTS, which as one of only a few school-based research institutes in Canada, aims to further real-world insights into the practices of teaching and learning. Eureka! facilitates and leads research with a focus on co-designed studies between external academic researchers and UTS staff, and research led by UTS staff, as well as supporting external researchers to conduct studies at UTS.

“One of the key things that really helps with Eureka! having its own funding in terms of partnerships with external researchers is that we can supplement their external funding, which makes it really attractive for researchers to come here and can enable them to expand their research as well,” says Dr. Kim MacKinnon, director of the Eureka! Research Institute at UTS, and assistant professor at OISE, where she oversees the cohort of OISE master of teaching candidates at UTS.

The work at Eureka! is overseen in partnership as well, with an advisory board that includes UTS alum Sarah Dryden-Peterson ’93, Harvard professor of education. From U of T, we have Dr. Rie Kijima P ’27, an assistant professor at the Munk School

of Global Affairs and Public Policy; Elizabeth Smyth, professor emeritus, former vice-dean, programs at the U of T School of Graduate Studies; Faye Mishna, professor at the FactorInwentash Faculty of Social Work and Carol Rolheiser, professor emeritus and former director of the Centre for Teaching Support and Innovation. The rest of the board is comprised of other OISE and UTS educational leaders.

CROSSING THE BRIDGE

Week after week and in some cases year after year, our students have been volunteering to tutor immigrant and refugee children online, through the UTS Bridge Project partnership with the Afghan Women’s Organization. Across distance and time, and through the power of learning, they often grow to know each other deeply, as they help Greater Toronto Area students in grades 2 to 10 with homework, English language lessons and more. But these students had never met in person until one December Saturday, when UTS volunteers and their students, along with their families, came together at UTS for a day of fun activities such as face painting, crafts, sports and games to deepen to get to know each other, and further their connections in real life.

New for this school year was an internship partnership between the U of T master of science and applied computing program and the UTS Information Technology department, lending our school the invaluable expertise of up-and-coming computer scientists to help our school leverage artificial intelligence to manage our data. Jingyu Liu, the intern for the 2023-24 school year, helped develop a tool to flag inappropriate comments in online student conversation. Karen Liu, who came on board the following year, is developing AI that supports teachers to compile information for assessing student work. This work was funded through Eureka!, as well as receiving funding from Mitacs, a notfor-profit organization that supports innovative, collaborative research partnerships between Canadian university researchers and industry.

GIVING NEW TEACHERS INSIGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM

Hosting master of teaching candidates is a longstanding tradition at UTS, a decades-old University of Toronto partnership that began before OISE was OISE, and hails back to our origins in 1910 when the school was conceived as a training ground for teachers. Many great teachers have fond memories of UTS as the place where they first stood at the front of a classroom, such as former principal Rosemary Evans. UTS typically hosts 30 master of teaching candidates, who spend one day a week at UTS for a period in the fall and early winter, observing teachers at UTS and taking part in co-curriculars and workshops. Some candidates will return later in the school year to complete a five-week practicum at the school.

Also funded through the Eureka! Research Institute was an opportunity for the master of teaching candidates to complete research assistantships in support of various projects underway at UTS.

THE OISE CONNECTION

OISE master of teaching candidates prepare to embark on an interactive activity in the Lang Innovation Lab, pictured with Dr. Kim MacKinnon (front centre left) and Lang Innovation Lab staff.

“With UTS moving in the direction of viewing research not as something external, but rather integrated into the daily life of the school it keeps the OISE graduate teacher education program feeling current beyond just theory, and provides a wonderful, rich experience for the candidates.”

Dr. Kim MacKinnon, director of the Eureka! Research Institute at UTS, and assistant professor at OISE, where she oversees the cohort of OISE master of teaching candidates at UTS

THE FALL OF ARTICA

A fictional dystopian world became English Teacher Julie Stoyka’s F1 (grade 7) classroom, with students stepping into roles of world leaders in a game called the Fall of Artica that aims to hone their analytic and diplomatic skills. Each group of students represented a different region of that universe, faced with a different problem to tackle. Unbeknownst to them, they would soon need to band together to face the ultimate ordeal –their world is out of water.

The game is a co-designed project, created by Ontario Institute for Studies in Education doctoral student Kathy Zhou with support from our students. UTS Teacher Charlie Pullen’s S5 (grade 11) Visual Arts classes designed the beautiful game assets and our English classes helped shape the storylines with storytelling prompts. Kathy and her team brought the characters to life using artificial intelligence, allowing students to

converse with characters they made using OpenAI GPT3. A paper on this aspect of the research by Kathy, with Charlie as one of the co-authors, won Best Technology Paper at the International Society of the Learning Sciences conference. Kathy’s doctoral supervisor is OISE Professor Dr. Jim Slotta, the Professor and President’s Chair in Education and Knowledge Technologies at OISE, who has fostered ongoing research relationships with UTS teachers for nearly 20 years, publishing more than 100 research papers in conjunction with his doctoral students from projects carried out at UTS, often with UTS teachers as co-authors. Kathy’s research is a project of the Critical Action Learning Exchange (CALE), that supports research and teaching in which students are empowered to take action on pressing social and environmental problems. With her research at UTS, Kathy is exploring how an interactive game can be used to further students’ critical thinking and collaboration skills.

IMPACT WITH INTEGRITY: LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

Beyond U of T, UTS forges partnerships at both the local and international levels to enhance our students’ understanding of the broader world and prepare them to contribute to a more equitable, interconnected society.

Locally, partnerships range from collaborations with organizations such as Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Maximum City, the Firefly Foundation, SickKids’ CALIPER Project, the Afghan Women’s Organization, Best Buddies, One Health Partners and others.

Internationally, our partnerships provide opportunities for our students to make global connections through international exchange programs, and for our community to expand and nurture strong networks for engaging in research and sharing research-informed practices in K-12, higher education and teacher professional learning.

We hold international partnerships in:

▷ Copenhagen, Denmark – Rysensteen Gymnasium, a high school dedicated to global citizenship

▷ Shanghai, China – Number Two High School Affiliated with East China Normal University

▷ Germany – Carl-Schurz-Schule, a high school in Frankfurt

▷ The U.S. – Tabor Academy in Massachusetts, as a member of the United Global Education Network

▷ Japan – secondary school educator research partnership through OISE and the Eureka! Institute @ UTS with Consortium for Renovating Education of the Future at the Nahomi Institute for Learning Sciences

▷ Mexico – The American School Foundation of Guadalajara, A.C.

A MEETING OF CULTURES

In March 2024, UTS hosted 26 students and three teachers from Japan’s Hachioji Higashi School as part of their Toronto tour, in partnership with Professors Dr. Rie Kijima P ’27 and Phillip Lipsky from the Centre for the Study of Global Japan at U of T’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. In the spirit of true cultural exchange, 12 UTS students and seven U of T students came out to welcome our visitors and share conversation with discussion questions such as “What’s your favourite part of Toronto?” and “Where do you see yourself in five years?” After getting to know each other, UTS students led our guests on a tour of our school. Also visiting was Consul Masahiro Matsui from the Consulate General of Japan in Toronto. Dr. Kim MacKinnon, director of the Eureka! Institute at UTS organized this visit, with support from the Eureka! Institute. Visits like these help our school foster global citizenship as well as vital intercultural understanding and empathy that can help our students make a difference in the world.

EQUITY AND OUTREACH

Where academic excellence meets personal excellence

Every student feels valued. All voices are heard. Each identity is celebrated. These are the ideals we are working towards through our actions, large and small, every day of the school year. Our community can only thrive when every member feels they belong and are valued for what makes them unique.

Anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion are our foundation and our mindset, central to the culture, curriculum, relationships and policies at UTS. This is who we are as a school.

We come to this work ready for brave conversations, committed to civil discourse and prepared for a constant reckoning. We recognize that the change we seek requires us to challenge ourselves and others. Status quo is not an option. For more than two years, we’ve embarked on a concerted effort to foster a greater culture of inclusion at UTS, building upon the recommendations provided by external consultant and renowned education leader, Dr. Avis Glaze OOnt in her January 2022 report, Anti-Racism, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: Our Shared Responsibility. This is our collective

responsibility, a commitment etched into the very core of our organizational DNA.

Our school's narrative is one that listens and learns, transforming that learning into positive change. The needs, aspirations and interests of our students lie at the centre of our work as a school.

DRIVEN BY STRATEGY, INFORMED BY DATA

Data is core to guiding this work, gauged through annual surveys of our students focusing on their experience and sense of belonging at our school as well as departmental surveys. In January 2024, all departments revisited and refined their equity goals, documenting their progress, any support or additional learning needed to carry out these goals and detailing how they would measure the effectiveness of their work, as well as looking ahead to the next steps. For teaching staff, equity work is integrated into their annual Professional Growth and Development Model, a plan to further their teaching practice.

In departments such as Canadian and World Studies and Science, educators are enriching the curriculum by integrating a more comprehensive representation of

Black and Indigenous experiences and contributions. This approach aims to present a fuller, more nuanced picture of histories, cultures and scientific achievements, often missed in current curriculum. By showcasing the range of everyday experiences and contributions of diverse individuals and communities throughout history and in contemporary society, we're creating a more inclusive learning environment across disciplines.

Throughout the year, staff at UTS continue to engage in learning about issues related to anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion, as well as practices to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace and school community, with guest lectures on equity and human rights from leaders such as Giselle Basanta, assistant deputy minister in the Education Equity Secretariat and Njeri Damali Sojourner-Campbell, lawyer and human rights expert at Hicks Morley.

BEING THERE FOR OUR STUDENTS, WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST

The 2023-24 school year marked increasingly proactive approaches to supporting the well-being and inclusion of our students, led by our Equity and Social Work teams. Stepping forward when someone is facing discrimination takes a great deal of courage. With our goal to create a school community free of discrimination, harassment and exclusion, we worked to make it easier for students to come forward and/or seek help when faced with or observing incidences of racism, discrimination, sexual harassment or bullying. The Stepping Forward tool allows students to get help confidentially online when an issue has occurred and has given us greater insight into the experiences of students at UTS and the issues that impact their lives.

We have also begun focusing on the interpersonal connections of each student across the school community through a

relationship mapping initiative led by the Social Work team.

The idea is to develop an understanding of our students’ relationships within the school community and proactively work to address gaps by providing welcoming and affirming support to students in need of stronger connections.

THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON

The school came together to hail the Year of the Dragon with a spectacular Lunar New Year Gala, created by students from the UTS Advancing Equity for Asians Committee, Chinese Culture Club, Traditional Chinese Music Ensemble and other student groups and classes. The gala featured Cantonese singing, Dai Ethnic Dance, K-pop to poetry and much more. Earlier in the day, over the noon hour, all students had the opportunity to take part in Chinese calligraphy, the traditional sport jianzi (shuttlecock), papercutting and other traditional activities.

“We are bringing together people of all different cultures and backgrounds and then showing them Asian cultures,” says M4 (grade 10) Phoebe. “I think it is important for everyone to understand each other.”

Truth and Reconciliation

We aim to ground our students in the issues of Truth and Reconciliation in the hopes that in their future, they will be able to help further Reconciliation in our country. Our Indigenous education and learning is guided by UTS Indigenous Liaison Andrew McConnell. A member of Nipissing First Nation and a course director at York University’s Faculty of Education, on secondment from the York Region District School Board, Andrew helps our school foster meaningful relationships with members of nearby Indigenous communities.

Upholding our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and Right Relations is a goal in the UTS Strategic Plan. Our work to honour the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, particularly Actions 62 to 65 that relate to education, is a vital part of our identity as a school and part of the Impact with Integrity pillar laid out in our Strategic Plan.

NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

What if within two generations Indigenous languages and cultures could be restored to all Indigenous peoples in Canada? On September 30, 2023, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, UTS students were inspired by the many ideas shared by Jesse Wente, Ojibwe broadcaster, Indigenous advocate and chair of the Canada Council for the Arts, when he spoke at our school. Our entire school community spent the day learning about Indigenous cultures and the tragedy of Canada’s Residential

Schools. With land defender Vanessa Gray of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation, we learned about Canada’s Chemical Valley, an area near Sarnia where a large part of Canada’s chemical industry is clustered, and the issues faced by her people who live there. We learned about the plant medicines and birds of Anishinaabe Aki from Joseph Pitawanakwat, an Ojibwe from Wikwemikong First Nation and owner of Creator’s Garden, how to say hello in the Kanyen'keha (Mohawk) language from Kristi Talbot, and much more.

LOST AND FOUND

The profound and visceral notes of a world premiere filled the UTS Withrow Auditorium this spring at our junior and senior music nights, played by Junior and Senior Strings. The piece was called Lost and Found, created for UTS by Composerin-Residence Cris Derksen, an Indigenous composer and cellist from the North Tallcree Reserve in northern Alberta, in collaboration with students in Senior Strings. The composition is designed to suit a range of UTS players at different levels of skill and experience.

An internationally respected Indigenous cellist and composer, Cris melds the traditional and contemporary, weaving her classical background and Indigenous ancestry together with new school electronics to create genre-defying music. Regularly commissioned by major Canadian orchestras and new music ensembles, she had her Carnegie Hall debut this March with another

As part of her residency at UTS, she led workshops with our music students, discussing her Indigenous background and sharing her perspectives on a career in music.

SHADOW PUPPETRY GIVES RISE TO A SPIRIT OF INQUIRY

Out of the shadows, a story takes shape. F1 (grade 7) drama students used shadow puppetry to explore picture books by Indigenous authors and artists, in a workshop led by guest Indigenous artist and actor Brefny Caribou, who is of Cree/Irish-settler descent. The spirit of inquiry came to life as we asked big questions: What is more important, telling a story or listening to it? How do we communicate culture? What if that culture is not our own? This was Brefny’s second visit to our Drama classes this school year. In the fall, she led a workshop for UTS drama students and exchange students from our partner school, Rysensteen Gymnasium in Copenhagen, Denmark, where our students worked together with the Danish students to prepare and perform a series of staged readings from Tomson Highway’s play, The Rez Sisters. Not only did students learn about the Canadian Indigenous experience, but they bonded across cultures through the power of drama.

BRINGING IN INDIGENOUS WAYS OF LEARNING

How can Indigenous approaches to literature, learning and collaborative thinking make learning spaces more inclusive? UTS sought to create a space where teachers and librarians could learn more deeply about this topic, inviting Nancy Cooper P ’26 , children’s book author and Indigenous educator, to lead a workshop on Curating Indigenous Resources. From the Chippewas of Mnjikaning First Nation in southern Ontario, Nancy has worked in Native literacy for 17 years. Over 25 educators, librarians and teacher-librarians from independent schools and University of Toronto came to the event (also open to public school educators), sitting in a circle in the UTS Library as Nancy shared her wisdom and expertise. After the event, they had the opportunity to browse First Nations, Métis and Inuit books from GoodMinds.com, a First Nations family-owned bookseller that held a book fair at UTS for the day.

THE EVOLUTION OF OUR ADMISSIONS PROCESS

Our admissions process continues to evolve, taking a more holistic view of potential students to assess their ability, mindset and potential through

PLAYWRIGHT AND TELEVISION WRITER TREY ANTHONY VISITS UTS

Your voice and talent are important. Get up there. Take risks. Be vulnerable and truthful in your work. Have a level of audacity in all that you do.

Powerful messages from award-winning playwright and creator Trey Anthony resonated with UTS Drama and English classes as she led workshops on monologue writing and drama performance in the Jackman Theatre. Trey began writing because she wanted to see stories representing who she is and what she knows. It turned out she was not alone. Many people felt the same, and her 2001 hit play, ‘daKinkinMyHair , grossed millions internationally and she adapted the play for television, before going on to write for the Oprah Winfrey Network, Lionsgate, Will Packer Media, The Comedy Network and CTV. She is also the author of the memoir, BlackGirlInLove(WithHerself), and the play, HowBlackMothersSayILoveYou. She told students who are interested in the entertainment industry to get out there performing and producing their own work, and believe in themselves and what they have to offer – great advice no matter which career they choose to pursue.

a broad range of evaluations. One change was removing the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) from the Admissions process. With long-standing concerns about bias and data showing our UTS in-house admissions test better predicted success, the SSAT potentially limited access for deserving students. Applications increased 37 percent for the 2024-25 school year when the test was no longer part of the process, widening the pool of potential candidates and increasing the diversity of our applicants. Another change was introducing a group task as part of the Stage 2 Interview process, to assess attributes like collaboration, teamwork and kindness.

OUTREACH TO CONNECT OUR COMMUNITY

Our school is as strong as the connections we forge. The UTS Admissions and Outreach team is dedicated to actively building relationships and giving back to communities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We recognize that studying at UTS is both a tremendous privilege and a responsibility – we encourage our students and staff to leverage their skills and knowledge and share them with the greater community to help empower others. Impact with |Integrity is a pillar of the new UTS Strategic Plan, and one tenet of that is to provide opportunities to learn from and be of service to our local and international community.

Through our outreach programs, we also seek to increase awareness that UTS is a welcoming community for high-achieving, historically underrepresented students, including those coming from Indigenous, Black and Korean backgrounds.

Crossing the threshold of our school is the first step, and during the 2023-24 school year, a few exciting learning programs welcomed new Black students and their families into UTS.

CAMPS FOR ACADEMICALLY PROMISING BLACK STUDENTS

In summer 2023, UTS held three weeklong camps – STEM, drama and world issues – which were attended by 60 academically promising Black students in grades 5 to 7 from across the GTA. UTS partnered with community organizations that included the Nubian Book Club, Parents of Black Children, African Canadian Christian Network and the Lifelong Learning Institute to invite students for the camps.

“The thoughtfulness and inclusivity behind offering the camp to students who self-identify as Black demonstrates your commitment to fostering diversity and providing equal opportunities for all,” wrote mothers Pauline Patterson and Pauletta Frater. “This gesture not only empowered our daughters but also instilled a sense of pride in their heritage.”

1834 YOUTH DEBATE PROGRAM

In February 2024, for the second year in a row, UTS hosted the 1834 Youth Debates in partnership with Operation Black Vote Canada, an organization that aims to increase Black representation in government and leadership. For six weeks, Black students from across the province worked online with UTS Debate coaches, alumni Sarah Harrison ’13 and Levi Tepner ’17, to learn about Canadian Parliamentary Debate, before converging at UTS one February Saturday for an inspiring day of friendly competition.

Grade 8 student Kayana, from St. Benedict’s Catholic Secondary School in Cambridge, says, “You don't realize how many people are looking out for you, and how many people want the best for you. This is an opportunity to network and then see what's out there and what you can do. It's really important for everyone to see how much work goes into this and how much these people really care about

BRILLIANCY AND RESILIENCY

UTS F2 student (grade 8) Yeab kicked off the 2nd Annual Brilliancy and Resiliency Black Student Conference this spring at St. Michael’s College School by sharing a powerful speech about what Black brilliance and resilience means to him, coming from his experiences as a student at UTS. “The crowd was blown away by his eloquence, humanity and wisdom,” says UTS Deputy Principal Dr. Kimberley Tavares, who accompanied the students along with Event Coordinator Paula Jack and English Teacher Nkechinyem Oduh. Yeab was one of 11 UTS students who attended, taking part in an inspiring morning of workshops about how to navigate challenges and find strength in identity as Black students.

their community and about inspiring future generations of Black students.”

Respected guest speakers from the Black community came out to encourage the debaters, including Karen Brown, the president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario; Ajax MPP Patrice Barnes; and diplomat and politician Dr. Alvin Curling.

LIFELONG LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PARTNERSHIP

Also this school year, the UTS partnership with the Lifelong Leadership Institute deepened as the organization held one of their weekly meetings of their Leadership by Design program for

academically promising Black youth at UTS, where UTS Director of Admissions

Charline Wan delivered a presentation on our school to over 200 Black families.

CULTURAL LEARNING IN HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

This year, students experienced culturally diverse ways of exercise that enhanced their exposure to different cultures with guest instructors. They moved and grooved with Capoeira Camará Toronto, which introduced students to this Afro-Brazilian sport that blends martial art, dance, music and acrobatics into a full-body workout. Eight-time world champion Simon Marcus showed M3 (grade 9) Health and Physical Education students the ropes with Muay Thai moves and combinations that condition their heart and muscles, strengthen their core and challenge their mind while improving balance and mobility. In these ways, students gain a deeper cultural understanding.

SOUTHERN ONTARIO MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY OUTREACH CAMP

During March Break, the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA), an organization run by UTS students, hosted a two-day outreach camp for 20 Black students, aimed as a bridging program for older students without Model United Nations Experience, to bring

them up to speed in order to take part in SOMA.

INDIGENOUS OUTREACH

We are working to forge connections within the Indigenous community by working with UTS Indigenous Liaison Andrew McConnell, which is covered on page 22 in the Truth and Reconciliation section.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

For three years now, UTS has offered the Community Connections program, creating a safe space for Indigenous and Black students and their families to gather and candidly discuss their experiences, successes and challenges at UTS. Offered as a hybrid meeting so families can attend in person or online, the program fosters a sense of unity among families. Some sessions on topical issues affecting students are led by UTS staff. About 20 UTS families regularly attend the meetings, giving them a place to compare experiences and collaborate together.

The culture of the conversation and the community being built is shifting as engagement and partnership with the school increases.

MORE BURSARIES FOR MORE STUDENTS: ENHANCING THE UTS BURSARY PROGRAM

Our goal is to ensure every student who should be at UTS can attend and participate fully, without financial barriers, through an enhanced bursary program.

In spring 2024, we made UTS bursary history with plans to award $2.6 million in funds to students for the 2024-25 school year, the largest amount our school has ever dispersed. We also funded the largest number of students ever, with 99 students receiving some form of bursary, including 32 students receiving full bursary support.

A robust bursary program promotes socio-economic diversity in our student

REDESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY

F1 (grade 7) Visual Arts students visited the Royal Ontario Museum in December 2023, taking in two exhibits ‘Being and Belonging: Contemporary Women Artists from the Islamic World and Beyond’ and ‘Noelle Hamlyn: Lifers’. While the shows touched on many themes, our students focused on how the artists redesigned wearable items to examine issues such as sustainability, tradition and innovation.

population, aligning with the UTS strategic pillar to have impact with integrity. Socioeconomic diversity within our school expands students’ understanding of our world as they respectfully engage with others from varied economic backgrounds. This better prepares students to graduate as global citizens, and furthers the UTS strategic goal of contributing to a more equitable society.

SUPPORT BEYOND BURSARY

Once students are admitted to UTS, we strive to ensure students can participate fully. Increasing our awareness of barriers to access inside and outside the classroom is an ongoing journey. To become more attuned to the experience of different

groups in the school, Student Life is planning to collect data about financial barriers faced by students in co-curricular activities.

The UTS Equity Council is made up of student leaders committed to creating an inclusive school community, and are working with the Harmony Movement, a not-for-profit organization committed to building equitable and inclusive schools. Through this work, students are developing their knowledge, skills and capacity, which they in turn pass forward by leading workshops for their peers. This commitment to building student agency and listening to student voices is foundational to the school’s philosophy.

fifty years of Co-education. Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly. The Cuspidor. Experiential Education.

We’ve marked some incredible halfcentury milestones this year. The advent of co-education was one of the greatest changes in our history that made UTS the school it is today.

UTS also has many traditions that have touched the lives of generations of students. The Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly, the Cuspidor and Experiential Education have endured for more than 50 years!

GREAT STRIDES FORWARD IN EQUITY WITH CO-EDUCATION

The launch of co-education at UTS half a century ago transformed our school, making it more welcoming than ever. At the time, the change felt radical. Since its inception in 1910, UTS had thrived as an all boys’ school.

There was some resistance to change, but with women’s rights rising to the forefront, Principal Don Gutteridge was adamant that the time had come for our school to evolve. The first co-educational class entered the doors of 371 Bloor Street West, along with the school’s first female faculty, in 1973, and the first class of girls graduated in 1978 and went on to break glass ceilings in government, law, medicine, business and more. In 2023, we celebrated this great stride forward in gender equity, while continuing to further progress on equity for all of our students.

“When I arrived in 1973, I felt I had been granted full licence to pursue my intellectual curiosity. UTS is a place where excitement about learning is endorsed and encouraged. That was really freeing for me and for the other girls.”

Justice Monica Biringer ’78 , a judge at the Federal Court of Appeal

SOUTHERN ONTARIO MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY

In 2023, UTS celebrated the 50th anniversary of a longstanding UTS tradition, the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA), an annual event that typically attracts 500 young delegates from across greater Ontario and beyond to hone their diplomatic skills while grappling with some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

In a full circle moment, David Morley C.M. ’73, president and CEO of UNICEF Canada (now retired) returned to UTS as the keynote speaker 50 years after he’d

been involved as a UTS student in the predecessor of SOMA, the Toronto Model Plenary. He spoke about his organization’s humanitarian efforts for our world’s most vulnerable children. David is one of hundreds of UTS alumni who made their mark on the world at large in diplomacy, international relations, law, politics and business, after taking part in SOMA.

THE CUSPIDOR

The first editors, Steve Tatrallyay ’75 and Ross Bartlett ’75, christened the nascent UTS newspaper the Cuspidor in 1974, and it would go on to inform, entertain and enlighten UTS students and staff for a half-century and beyond. In Spring 2024, the 50th Anniversary Edition upheld time-honoured Cuspidor traditions: the editors’ message in the format of a playful skit, irreverent polls of UTS students, the Miss Advised and Dr. Swagger advice column and more. Many former Cuspidor editors and writers have gone on to make their mark as writers, journalists, thought leaders and more.

Cuspidor editors showcase past issues of the publication, as well as the Cuspidor cup.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION: BUILDING CONNECTIONS

More than 50 years have passed since the first experiential education program at UTS took place in 1971. The Grade 7 and Grade 13 weekend took place at the family farm of grade 12 student, Ian Rhind ’71 (also the home of Ian’s brother Sandy Rhind ’69 and father Jack Rhind ’38). Students enjoyed flag football, frisbee, Latin singsong and more. Since then,

Experiential Education has grown into a beloved tradition for students where great experiences are shared and great bonds are formed.

Today, the theme is building connections – to each other and to the land. All grades participate in fall and/or winter camps at Couchiching, Cedar Ridge, Wanakita, and/or Kintail, with S5 and S6 students honing their leadership skills as counsellors for the F1s and F2s.

UTS PARENTS' ASSOCIATION

Reimagining our possibilities connecting our community

This school year we opened the doors to greater connection, strategically reimagining how the UTS Parents' Association (UTSPA) can fulfill its mission: "to engage, strengthen and support our UTS community for the benefit of all students."

We focused on building trust and relationships with the parent and guardian community, working collaboratively with the UTS administration and newly appointed UTS Principal Dr. Leanne Foster. UTSPA brought our community together, from creating plans for Welcome Back BBQ in September 2024 to a wellness session for parents and guardians about the impact of video games to parent socials. We also strengthened our governance by developing a succession planning strategy to ensure smooth leadership transition and re-aligned roles to serve the future needs of UTSPA. For the 2024-25 school year, the UTSPA Nominations Committee sought out leadership candidates with extensive experience in community building and

systems thinking, who are committed to the strategic priorities of the school.

Like the school, we continued on our journey to strengthen anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion within our community. During the school year, UTSPA provided parents the opportunity for critical dialogue on human rights with Ruth Goba, the former Ontario Human Rights Commissioner, and a session with Deputy Principal Dr. Kimberley Tavares, about how to have courageous and difficult conversations about equity and inclusion with children and teens.

UTSPA will continue to partner with and support the leadership of our school to build a strong community together, one where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

UTS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The Alumni presence: INgrained into the UTS experience

Our alumni presence was a strong force in the life of our school during the 2023-24 school year, with the support of the UTS Alumni Association (UTSAA).

There’s something about UTS that inspires alumni to return and give back to our school and a like-mindedness that can create a nearly instant connection, even among alumni and students who have never met before.

This year’s engagement included an online Branching Out program session in February, where alumni volunteers provided mentorship about university, careers and life. An overarching message was one our students can never hear enough – encouraging students to pursue their own vision for their lives beyond what others expect from them. Alumni shared the perspective that the singleminded pursuit of a career may seem important now, but there may come a time when work-life balance might matter more. Success takes many forms and flexibility is key – being open to

opportunities that create a spark in them, even if those aren’t necessarily the path they thought they would follow.

Alumni also showed up with enthusiasm for Stage Two admissions interviews in January, which felt like an impromptu reunion with nearly 80 alumni volunteers ranging from the Class of 1965 to 2023. Alumni were also present in the classroom, sharing their experiences in arts, music and more with our students.

In addition to rallying alumni to support the school, UTSAA carried on its mission of fostering connections between alumni themselves. Highlights included the record number of alumni – 40 – who came out for the New York Branch Event; chasing the puck and glory at the annual UTSAA Hockey Match; braving rain and thunder at the UTSAA Golf Tournament; and the Annual Dinner. Alumni travelled from far and wide to attend the event: the dinner attracted classmates from across Canada, 40 alumni from the U.S. and overseas visitors from Hong Kong,

Norway and the Netherlands. This was a special dinner as it marked the 50-year anniversary of co-education at UTS, with a call-out to the Class of 1973 , which was a double cohort with the elimination of grade 13 at UTS. The event was also a tribute to the Class of 1978 – the first coeducational year to graduate from UTS.

These are all moments we shared that brought us closer together and reminded us that UTS is more than just a school; it is a community of inspiring and interested people who transform each other’s lives at school and beyond.

UTSAA President 2023-24

INITIATIVES MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE SUPPORT OF UTSAA

▷ French Club

▷ Girls in Tech Conference

▷ Robotics Society

▷ UTS Blues Hacks

UTS is forever a part of you.

The knowledge, the friendships, the experiences and the fortitude you have developed over the years here is now an essential part of your journey – it is part of who you are and what you are destined to do.

THE UTS FOUNDATION

The UTS Foundation was created in 2006 to take over stewardship of funds donated to UTS over the years that were previously managed by University of Toronto. The Foundation’s mandate is to develop, maintain and preserve the school’s long-term invested funds, which include:

▷ Bursary and award funds

▷ Building funds intended for capital investment

▷ Discretionary funds for various other purposes

The Board of Directors of the Foundation are Caroline Cathcart ’87, Tony Lundy ’79 and Vanessa Grant ’80. We anticipate that two additional directors will be elected in fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2024 was a year in which the UTS Foundation continued its focus on protecting and growing the real value of the endowments, as UTS continues to repay the original $29 million principal amount debenture originally extended to UTS to fund some of the construction costs for the new building, with $10 million repaid to date.

The value of the Foundation’s assets at June 30, 2024 was $52,775,356, up from $49,970,930 at June 30, 2023. Approximately 36 per cent of the

Foundation’s assets were in the form of the debenture extended to UTS with the remainder primarily invested by its investment manager in Canadian, U.S. and global equities and are subject to the risks inherent in equities investments.

During the year:

▷ $4,325,289 in donations and bequests were collected and $3,772,574 was earned in investment and interest income.

▷ The Foundation granted $3,098,365 to UTS to fund construction costs for the new building, up from $2,343,855 in 2023.

▷ The Foundation granted $2,027,038 (an increase of approximately 27 per cent from the prior year’s total of $1,589,759) for bursaries, scholarships and awards.

The minimum annual disbursement from charitable foundations was increased from four per cent to five per cent of a rolling average of Foundation assets. The Foundation’s policy is to disburse in accordance with the five per cent required by law, with the goal of preserving the value of endowments for the long term.

The UTS Foundation is proud to support UTS, and in particular, to support the construction of the new building and bursaries, scholarships and awards for students.

As part of its investment policy, the Foundation has adopted the following principles in connection with its commitment to environmental, social and (corporate) governance (ESG).

Principle 1

The Foundation will incorporate ESG issues into its investment analysis and decision-making processes.

Principle 2

The Foundation will incorporate ESG issues into its investment policies and practices. While the Foundation is not an active investor, the Foundation will ensure that its investment manager(s) incorporate(s) ESG issues and practices into their investment selection processes.

Principle 3

The Foundation will ask its investment manager(s) to seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues from the entities in which the investment manager(s) invest on behalf of the Foundation.

Principle 4

To the extent possible, the Foundation will promote acceptance and implementation of the principles within the investment industry.

Principle 5

The Foundation will work with its investment manager(s), UTS and the UTS community to enhance the Foundation’s effectiveness in implementing the principles.

Principle 6

The Foundation will, and will require its investment manager(s) to report on their activities and progress towards implementing the principles.

The Foundation’s investment manager is a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment. In addition, the manager has advised that it is a member of, and is actively involved with, the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance and is a supporter of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.

The Foundation has worked carefully over the last several years to manage the portfolio to meet the cash funding needs of the new building, while also positioning the Foundation to maintain and grow the funding available for bursaries, scholarships and awards. With a prudent investment approach and the incredible support from the UTS community, we believe that the Foundation is well-positioned for the future.

OUR THANKS TO DONORS

UTS is an extraordinary school and my first year as principal was full of wonder, in awe of our students, their sheer enthusiasm and love of learning. At UTS, our new mission is to ignite the brightest minds to make a difference in the world. Your generosity is vital in bringing this mission to life. Thank you to the 963 alumni, parents, staff, students and friends who collectively donated over $4.5 million dollars last year to support UTS students. Of that, $1.1 million went to support the UTS Bursary Fund, making a UTS education possible for many students who otherwise might not have been able to attend. I also wish to thank the UTS Arbor Society members for their foresight and commitment in planning your legacy gifts to the school. You are living proof that our community is truly our greatest strength. With your support, we will strive to foster a greater culture of inclusion, while upholding the long-standing tradition of academic excellence that makes such a difference in the lives of our students at UTS and beyond.

CELEBRATING OUR GRADUATING CLASS!

Since 2007, parents of graduating students have celebrated their children’s graduation from UTS by making a gift to the Grad Class Bursary Fund in honour of their children. The Grad Class Bursary is endowed with over $240,000 providing financial aid to current UTS students. This year, many of the gifts in honour of graduating students were directed to our Top Up Bursary Fund and other school priorities. We thank our families for giving the gift of a UTS education through donations totaling nearly $30,000!
