Community Engagement and Activities
Community Engagement
The Boarding community provides students with the opportunity to grow their citizenship skills and awareness of global issues. Some of these include partnerships with the Junior School, the 丝瓜视频 Events Team, as well as external service organizations such as Let’s Grow Learning & Living Hub and New Circles.

Evening and Weekend Activities
Boarding staff work together with other departments in the school and outside providers to develop, organize and chaperone activities both on and off of campus after school and on weekends. These include, but are not limited to: cultural and festive meals, supervised sessions in the Athletics and Wellness Centre fitness studio, gymnasium, and pool, day trips to visit local universities and attractions (such as Canada’s Wonderland and Niagara Falls), cooking lessons, arts and crafts, community service activities, professional sporting events and theatre or orchestral performances in Toronto.

The costs for all of these events are included in the annual Boarding Activities Fee ($900), which is charged to your child’s school account in the fall. All Boarding students are welcome and encouraged to participate in as many activities as possible.
Activities build community within the diverse group of students living on campus, support student well-being, foster a growth mindset and embrace international mindedness. Activities also provide opportunities for students to try new things and learn more about themselves, each other, the school community, the City of Toronto and Canadian culture.
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.
