Olivier and Josh organized a fundraiser in October, challenging us all to “Think Pink!� and raise both money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. As donation levels were reached, students and staff cut their hair or shaved their head. Stay tuned in the months ahead for the total amount donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Parents, faculty, students, and staff climbed to the top of Mont Orford to kick off the 2018-19 school year.

From Moulton Hill We continue to refine our messaging and share meaningful stories, images, and anecdotes with a community that is excited to see our school thriving and our students embracing their time here on Moulton Hill.

In this issue of The BCS Bulletin, I hope you will feel the shared appreciation for the importance of communication, and our commitment to continued growth in keeping us all interconnected. From remembering iconic educators, classmates, and friends of the past, to celebrating those having their moment now—feeling their skin tingle as they step in front of chapel for the first time, walking off a field having defeated a team of red jerseyed-opponents, or connecting in any of the new and exciting ways our students and faculty are pushing us to explore—our culture of storytelling grows stronger by the day.

About this series Through The BCS Bulletin, we are drawing into focus the five initiatives of our strategic plan, Our Voices, Our Plan, Our Future.

This issue marks the third installment, where we delve into ‘Deepening Connections’—specifically, the wonderful things that can be accomplished when a community such as ours is actively engaged. From the communication and outreach efforts of our students and staff to the philanthropic responsibility assumed by our alumni and friends, we are engaging our global community and we are all benefitting. We invite you to read through these pages, return to campus, and Deepen your Connections to all things BCS. Subsequent issues of the magazine will explore: 1. Pathways to Excellence 2. Campus as Community 3. Engaged Communication (in this issue) 4. Promoting Professional Growth 5. Proudly Building the Plan

As we push to excel at communication in every facet of school operations, please return that intention by staying connected with your school. We look forward to hearing your stories, connecting with you on the road, and, of course, seeing you back here on Moulton Hill.

Finding Our Voice Prioritizing quality communication keeps the whole BCS community connected You may not realize it at first glance, but behind these pages, there’s a revolution going on. Or, if not a revolution, certainly a transformation. The school-wide investment to improve our many channels of communication has raised expectations, improved systems, and deepened the meaningful inter-personal relationships that are at the core of our community. A renewed commitment to transparency and accessibility, prioritized during our 2016 strategic plan exercise, encourages more two-way communication and ensures our stories reach an ever-increasing audience.

Guthrie Stewart, Vice Chair of the BCS Association Board. “The ability to effectively communicate to constituents and supporters is a critical strategic priority for any high-performing group. And this priority comes at an opportune time for BCS, as we have an exciting story to communicate—a story of momentum and campus growth, and of students and faculty eager to share what makes the BCS educational experience distinctive, engaging, and transformative.”

Broadening our scope has been a consistent theme and this publication, The BCS Bulletin, is a great example of where its past singular alumni focus was successfully expanded to benefit the entire BCS community. By creating compelling and relevant content, the magazine has adjustAbove: Communication and leadership games taking place in the Quad during Opening Day.

current voices while remaining connected to the giants of our past who continue to positively influence generations of BCS students.

Over the past three issues, The Bulletin has taken a deep dive into one of the five initiatives outlined in our strategic plan, Our Voices, Our Plan, Our Future. The past two issues looked at ‘Pathways to Excellence’ and ‘Campus as Community’; this edition presents ‘Engaged Communication,’ a stated intention to deepen connections among the immediate school community, parents, alumni, and the outside world.

“We’re committed to changing the way people communicate with BCS and addressing an essential trademark of an educational organization,” says Head of School, Tyler Lewis. “As a leading independent school in North America and a family-style community, we need to excel

while also making the student experience more tangible and obvious to our full community. It’s a great way to remind members of our extended BCS family who are all over the world that they’re still an important part of the community.”

In keeping with this philosophy, the Communications team has also launched a number of themed social media series.

‘Mentor Mondays’ showcases staff, houseparents, and teachers who exert an important daily impact on campus but may not always be in the spotlight. One of the most successful campaigns was ‘#BCS1836Prefects’ that ran in August and early September. The idea was to introduce the community to our incoming prefects with photos and short video interviews.

In fact, one of the videos became our most popular Facebook post of all time.

“My video was shared dozens of times around the world, with so many comments from my family and friends back home in The Bahamas, saying how proud they are of me and that they can’t wait to see what I do next. I predict that it is going to be hard to let go of a school that has done so much for me,” shared Tyrin, BCS’19.

Subsequent posts and stories have elicited many great comments from alumni, remembering how a prefect helped them when they were students. Jennifer notes that, “Sometimes a relatively small thing, just a one-minute video, creates a spark. And as those posts are shared, BCS content goes out into the world—even to people who didn’t know about us—broadening our global audience.”

not actively involved in his election, she helped by encouraging people to vote. Decades after her father’s career in politics reached its zenith, Nancy found herself again among politically engaged citizens.

She would later become the ‘unofficial’ assistant to her brother Jack during his 2008 and 2011 federal campaigns, the latter of which resulted in his election to Official Leader of the Opposition.

La Presse described her in 2015 as La Très Discrète Soeur de Jack, noting her modesty and discretion while she emphasized her non-official status. Press throughout Jack’s campaigns called her his “ange gardien,” writing that “la résidante d’Ogden évite cependant de s’accorder trop de crédit,” as Nancy characteristically deflected credit for Jack’s speedy recovery from 2011 hip surgery, citing instead his commitment to the physiotherapy program and the encouragement he received from his supporters.

Linda Rodeck, BCS’81 BCS is excited to announce that Ms. Linda Rodeck, BCS’81, has officially been elected as the 22nd Chair of the BCS Association Board. Linda attended BCS from 1977-1981, following in the footsteps of her older brothers, Bruce (Class of ‘78) and Keith (Class of ‘79). She graduated with a B.A. in History and Art History from McGill University, and subsequently pursued a successful career in the arts, while also obtaining her Master’s Degree from the University of Toronto. Considered among the country’s most respected art and auction specialists, Linda currently acts as Senior Canadian Art Specialist and Vice President of Fine Art for Waddington’s in Toronto. She has served on several boards, including Bloorview Kids Rehab and the Niagara Historical Society and Museum.

Linda joined the BCS Association Board in 2011, and was appointed Vice Chair in 2014. She has been involved in key areas of recent progress for our school, serving on the Strategic Planning Steering Committee and as Chair of the Marketing Committee. In September 2018, she was elected Chair of the Association Board, replacing outgoing Chair, Timothy E. Price, BCS’75.

“Linda has been a constant source of support for BCS, committed to championing and improving our school community,” remarked Tim. “Most recently, her experience in branding and marketing has proven invaluable as we embarked on our strategic planning exercise. Her passion for BCS and leadership will prove a great resource as she assumes the vital role of Chair.”

“BCS has embarked on an important period of innovation, creativity, and growth. I’m delighted to be a part of this, and am honoured to be chairing a board comprised of extremely dedicated and capable trustees,” says Linda. “I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Tim for the blueprint of leadership he provided.”

Theodora Brinckman, BCS’84 Theodora Brinckman could be a poster child for the values learnt and practised at BCS. Her talent to lead, ability to inspire, dedication to working hard and giving back, and commitment to staying the course have translated into a successful career in the non-profit sector. Another BCS alumna doing it her way—and her way is making a real difference…

Theo first came through School House doors as a student in 1978, but her relationship with BCS began long before. Like so many of our families, Theo comes from a long line of BCS alumni; it’s a family tradition that started with her great-grandfather Selwyn Gwillym Blaylock and her great-great uncle Harry Blaylock, both of whom attended BCS in the 1890s. Theo’s grandfather Peter Woodburn Blaylock, BCS’29, and her great uncle Selwyn ‘Spike’

As a fourth generation BCSer, Theo recalls Moulton Hill being a “natural fit” when it came time for her and her brother Adam, BCS’83, to start high school. “The whole notion of a co-ed boarding school brought a certain appeal to both my parents and to Adam and I. We didn’t even look at any other schools.” The tradition did not end

to MAB-Mackay because of its values and ethics. I felt a sense of belonging.”

Theo soon discovered that she wasn’t the first alumnus that was drawn to the foundation and its cause. “When I took the position as Executive Director I didn’t realize how much crossover there was with BCS. David Stenason, BCS’75, Kurt Johnson, BCS’84, and Neil Matheson, BCS’75, have all been chairs of our board. Amanda Jelowicki, BCS’93, and Sass Khazzam, BCS’62, were also on our board, and Tony Ross, BCS’75, currently sits on our board.

Many of our donors hail from BCS. There are just so many involved!”

“MAB-Mackay supports those living with physical disabilities so it doesn’t really have anything to do with BCS, but the values and the spirit—just the way of being— are so similar. I think that’s why there is so much interconnection between the two.”

Theo has truly found her niche at MAB-Mackay, in a role she sees as “a facilitator between clients living with physical disabilities and the people who want to support them.” It’s a role and a responsibility of which Theo is extremely

REPORT ON GIVING 2017–18

What is a gift?

To me, a gift is something you choose to share with another. It is a totally voluntary act, one that you believe will make a difference. A gift can take many different forms: the gift of time, of wisdom, of resources, or of money. You give because you care, because you recognize a role that you can play in fulfilling a need. You choose to give because you appreciate that your gift will help.

At BCS, the act of giving is a well-honoured tradition. Throughout our history, we have enjoyed an outpouring of support from our alumni, friends, and families.

Hours upon hours of dedicated volunteer work by board members, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff have contributed to the quality of the programs we offer and the soundness of the policies that guide us.

I thank all who have played a role in making BCS the success that it is today. I also invite you to consider how you want to play your part in ensuring a brighter future for BCS. Your decision to take an active role today—whether with the gift of time, resource, and/or financial contribution— is sure to make a difference. And when pooled together with the giving from the

REPORT ON GIVING 2017–18

2017–18 Sources and Uses Donations received in 2017-18 have continued to play a critical role in supporting the school’s advancement to the benefit of our students, faculty, and campus. So many alumni, parents (past and present), and friends recognize that making a contribution annually to BCS truly helps the school deliver on its mission. This past year, over $595,000 was raised in Annual Giving and $2,142,000 committed to projects such as Mitchell Family House, outdoor spaces, and general campus renewal. Proceeds from the BCS Endowment, including over 50 family scholarships and endowed programs, provide our school with the backing it needs to give our students the best education possible. We are thankful for the wisdom of past generations of donors who have helped to build our $24M endowment, and appreciate the support received this year to further enhance its growth.
