International Women’s Day is coming up this Sunday, March 8! As a school dedicated to the advancement of girls and women, we know that investing in women, through time, resources and mentorship, creates a more equitable world where everyone benefits! 💜

This year’s theme is #GivetoGain, so we wanted to showcase some of the ways we are investing in girls at Branksome Hall.

We were so impressed by the hard work and creativity of our young entrepreneurs as they showcased their businesses at the Noodle Jr. Showcase this week! 💡 From businesses that keep student athletes on top of their academics, to businesses upcycling trash into fashionable solutions to reduce waste, guests were amazed to see the efforts of our youngest Noodle participants. And when iCAST opens this fall as our new Noodle Jr. headquarters, the program will have space and resources to reach new heights!

Congratulations to all of our remarkable entrepreneurs!

This year’s World Affairs Conference brought more than 1,300 delegates together for bold conversations about the world’s biggest challenges.

While students enjoyed keynotes from Colonel Chris Hadfield and Martin Kon, and discussions with remarkable industry leaders inspired the crowd, student leaders from Branksome and UCC were behind the scenes putting it all together.

In our latest news story, Co-Chairs Ruhani and Alyssa share how powerful it was to see young people engage so deeply, and how months of planning alongside 50+ student volunteers from Branksome Hall turned big ideas into real impact. 🌎💡

What a week, Branksome! 🐸 Grade 2 classes welcomed Ms. Thornton from @storyvalues for an interactive workshop on storytelling 🎭 and both sides of campus recognized Pink Shirt Day with many students wearing pink with their uniforms to show their support in the fight against bullying. 👚

In the Junior School, we cheered on the JKs as they performed in their first Spotlight Assembly 💚, celebrated 100 days of school 💯 and Grade 1 students took a delicious and nutritious trip to St. Lawrence Market. 🍓

Finally, huge congratulations to ALL of our Highlanders who have been competing in CISAA semifinals and finals! We look forward to wrapping up the winter season next week. 🏅

Meet the students behind Branksome`s Spirit Week 2026! 🌈

From January 19–23, Branksome Hall was filled with music, colour and contagious energy as students in Grades 7 to 12 took part in the school’s annual Spirit Week competition. But behind every high-energy performance and charitable donation were weeks of lunchtime meetings, late-night choreography sessions, inboxes full of logistics and student leaders rallying their grades.

안녕하세요! 🇰🇷 Our Grade 9 students and chaperones` first week in South Korea has been full of fun and exploration!

The group visited teddy bear and Hello Kitty-themed museums before heading to @branksome_hall_asia to begin the collaborative interdisciplinary project. But building mini wind turbines isn`t the only thing they`ve done at BHA—they have also enjoyed an incredible talent show, gone ice skating and forged new friendships with their BHA buddies. 💚💜
