Congratulations to Amanda Kennedy, Deputy Principal, who is leaving Branksome Hall after 14 years of warm-hearted, impactful leadership to join Holy Trinity School, an independent, co-educational, university preparatory institution located in Richmond Hill, as their new Head of School. Amanda’s last day at Branksome will be June 30.
Branksome Hall is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Yasmin Razack as the school’s new Head, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), following a comprehensive search process.
For episode four of the PrincipalED podcast, Principal Grace McCallum is joined by the inspirational Lori-Ann Muenzer, a two-time Olympian, Canada’s first Olympic gold medalist in cycling and a proud inductee into three Halls of Fame.
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.
