Boarding Support

Boarding Advisors
The Boarding Team is a professional and caring group of adults who are experienced in the areas of residential living and the development of young people. 

 
Health Centre: Nurse & Physician Support 
All Boarding students will have an individual appointment with a School Nurse within the first two weeks of school to assess their health care needs and to review their medical records. The Nurse must be notified of all medication being taken and any major past or ongoing medical concerns so that we can best support each student. 
 
The Health Centre has partnered with the WELL Health Clinic to provide the Boarding community with access to physician assessment and care, as needed. Necessary appointments can be booked through the Health Centre and the Boarding Team.
Note: If an appointment is booked and missed, a cancellation fee will be applied to the student’s account. 
 
Social Workers
Social Workers are available in the Counselling Wing of the Senior School or the second floor of the Middle School to provide social and emotional support to individual students and their families. .
 
Guard.me Student Support Program – Online Student Support for Mental Well-Being 
Boarding students aged 15 and over have access to an innovative Student Support Program (SSP) that offers 24/7 access to mental health support online. .
 
 
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
