From the moment I started my employment at Havergal, I have felt nothing but support from colleagues, students and administration. The school offers a perfect balance of guidance and independence, which allows me to grow as a professional. I go to work surrounded by like-minded, talented educators who share the same passion for education and believe that what we do every day contributes to the growth of our students. I am proud to wear the Havergal green and gold!

Jeff MacLean Music Teacher

Teaching at Havergal is an honour and a life-changing professional opportunity. It is a privilege to work in the Junior School alongside dedicated and collaborative colleagues that motivate and inspire me daily. We share knowledge and experience, laughs and tears. The opportunities to learn and grow are plentiful and the College supports and encourages me in my professional development through in-house and external coursework and workshops.

Carrie Steele Middle School Guidance & Learning Support Specialist

Teaching at Havergal has afforded me the opportunity to learn and grow, seek out new approaches and understandings, implement innovative programming, set high expectations for myself and my students and be mentored by colleagues. Havergal demonstrates a clear vision for learning support, thoughtful and meaningful responses to problem-solving and planning and an openness to listen and respond. It is a joy and privilege to be part of this collective of like-minded educators.

Kelly Elder Mathematics Teacher

My career at Havergal started 34 years ago as a new teacher right out of university. I have been given many opportunities for growth, PD and leadership positions. I feel supported by the administration to try new methods of teaching and have been provided the latest technology to enhance my classroom. I am able to keep in touch with my previous students through reunions and have even started to teach some of their daughters. The Havergal community truly feels like my home!

Carol Tsang Graphic Designer

Working in a service department at Havergal gives me opportunities to work on projects that support students, faculty and staff. From working on Admissions-related pieces used to recruit students to creating the Graduation Program that students keep as they leave the school, my work feels exciting and meaningful. The school offers staff many ways to be involved. I enjoy attending Prayers to hear new perspectives that expand my mind.
