Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Much of my time is spent assessing just where Branksome is as an educational community, and where it should be going. No one can deny today that Branksome is a very successful school. Our graduates find desired places at universities and community colleges and tell me that they feel well prepared. Our physical education programme is expanding to include gymnastics, ice hockey and cross-country running and we compete now with both the public and independent schools, thus expanding opportunity for training and competition. Our debating club continues to honour, our drama clubs and choirs perform to a high standard and there are many other ac- tivities in which students may participate and learn. Most of our students take their work seriously — they do their homework, study for tests and care about their progress at school. Their behaviour makes it a pleasure to accompany them on field trips as far as Quebec City or just to the O ' Keefe Centre. In fact all the things I have been talking about make Branksome an enjoyable place to work and study. I would like all of us to concentrate now on making Branksome increasingly a place where excellence is the aim of everything we do, where we set goals beyond what we may consider our capabilities. I would like to see it a place where staff and students care enough about our continuous progress to question, to experiment, to discuss openly and have the courage to make mistakes and accept generously the mistakes of others. If we really wish to develop as individuals and as a school, we must be willing to risk.
