Principal Branksome has always been a lively, productively busy place but the year 1982-83 has been an unusually active one. In addition to plays, concerts, fashion show, debates, dances and sports, we have ventured forth in several new directions. Much of our energy last fall was dedicated to producing Branksome ' s first student bazaar which raised over four thousand dollars for the Canadian Cancer Society. We were pleased to donate this money in memory of Pippa Harris, a graduate of 1978. The demanding Duke of Edinburgh Award programme was begun this year and sixty girls have been working for their bronze award, the first level of achievement. We are proud of the Junior School Madrigal Choir which entered the Kiwanis Festival and placed second. An Amnesty International Chapter was formed last fall, the first one in a Toronto school. Consequently our students were asked to start a newsletter to circulate among the few high school chapters across Canada and they were invited to appear on a C. B.C. television show about Amnesty. The filming was done at Branksome. Also for the first time, we took part in a three month student exchange between Ontario and Quebec students. And 14 I must not forget that this was the year the necktie for fathers and the computer course for parents first appeared. Our board of Governors and staff have been much involved with planning the new science wing, relocating our infirmary and day care, launching our long overdue Annual Giving programme, publishing the improved and expanded newsletter and with preparing an instrumental music course to begin in our Junior School next September. The present review of the Ontario education system will certainly have its effect upon Branksome very soon. Naturally the administration of the school has spent long hours preparing for changes which must come almost immediately. I cannot remember a year when we have at- tempted and successfully completed so many projects, old and new, or when time has seemed so short. We could not have accomplished so much if it were not for the high quality of student leadership which we have enjoyed and the co- operation and obliging spirit of the present Branksome girls. My thanks to all of them. Allison Roach.
