On September 27, 2024, the Branksome community came together through a heartfelt community-wide Walk for Wenjack to honour the memory of Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old Anishinaabe boy who died after running away from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ontario in 1966. Participants included parents, students from JK to Grade 12, and employees from every department and division, all united in a powerful show of solidarity and commitment to learning and reconciliation.
On September 19, 2024, the air buzzed with anticipation as the Branksome Hall community gathered for one of the school’s most cherished traditions—the Senior & Middle School Installation Ceremony. This year’s event carried special significance, as it was not only the school’s 96th Installation, but it also marked the installation of Branksome’s 8th Principal, Grace McCallum.
The Branksome Hall campus was alive with colour, music and excitement as students, parents, employees and alums gathered for a spectacular Brazilian Carnival-themed Welcome Back event on September 13, 2024. The festivities not only marked the beginning of the 2024–25 school year, but also gave everyone a chance to warmly welcome Principal Grace McCallum and her family to the Branksome community.
Each day, more than 900 students benefit from your generosity. Quite simply, you touch the life of every student, providing endless possibilities to explore, take risks and feel valued for their unique talents, igniting a lifelong love of learning.
At Branksome Hall, we’re not just enriching students’ minds – we’re giving them minds of their own. So they can challenge the status quo, set new standards, and carve their own path to success.
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.
