House Sweet Home Last spring, our community came together in an unprecedented show of love and support for Bishop’s College School, our current students, and future families.

With a target of attracting 500 donors and raising $1,000,000 in just nine weeks, we launched House Sweet Home, a major campaign to renovate all our houses and create inspiring outdoor spaces for students.

Gillard Gillard House, built in 1972, is named after Dr. Adelaide E. Gillard.

The school grew under her leadership from less than Clockwise, from top left: The newly renovated Gillard bathrooms are a game changer for self-care nights and getting ready with friends; Head to the revamped Gillard common room for a round of ping pong or a movie night; Our Gillard girls are already cooking up a storm in their brand new kitchen.

50 students in the depression years, to 159 girls in her final year. She received D.C.L. (Honoris Causa) from Bishop’s University in 1961 for her outstanding leadership in the scholastic world and for her contributions as the headmistress of KHC. She was a scholar, a teacher, and an administrator, gaining both the affection and respect of those who knew her, and influencing hundreds of girls from every continent until her retirement in 1968.

To this day, she is often affectionately referred to by KHC alumnae as ‘Gilly.’ Gilly’s legacy lives on in the young women who call Gillard House their home.

Grier House, built in 1960 (and divided into Grier North and Grier South in 1976), is named after Colonel Crawford Grier, the 19th Headmaster of BCS from 1931 to 1950. A veteran of the First World War, Col. Grier was appointed Headmaster in 1931, shortly after returning to civilian life from being an active member of the Canadian Field Artillery. From 1931 to 1942, he was an involved and proactive Head.

In February of 1942, he was appointed to the army staff at Washington with the

That same year, he returned to BCS to perform the duties of inspecting officer at the BCS Annual Cadet Review.

Col. Grier was reinstated as Head in September 1944, remaining in this position until January 3, 1950. It was under his leadership that the BCS No. 2 Cadet Corps was

At the outbreak of World War I, he organized the 4th Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, and went overseas with the First Canadian Contingent. McGill awarded him an honorary LL.D. in 1921 in recognition of his distinguished services during the war. In 1936, he performed the inspection of the BCS No. 2 Cadet Corps for the school’s centennial celebrations.

Ross House was named to honour one of the most influential individuals in BCS history, Commander John Kenneth Leveson Ross.

Ross was a BCS student from 1886-1891 and a prefect in his final year. A long-time benefactor of BCS, Ross returned in a different leadership role in 1914, as Chairman of the Board. During his eight-year chairmanship, he was instrumental in separating BCS from Bishop’s University, paying off the school’s deficit and securing ownership on four hundred acres of farmlands and dwellings on the right bank of the St. Francis River—where BCS is situated to this day.

Under his supervision and leadership, School House, the dining hall (now known as ‘Ross Hall’ in honour of his contributions to BCS), and Prep House (now known as Glass House) were all built on the new Moulton Hill campus. These new buildings were officially opened on June 27, 1918,

The comfy couches and chairs in the Ross lounge are the perfect hangout spot for our day students. The space previously housed Ross students’ lockers, which are now in the new allstudent locker space beneath Ross Dining Hall (see page 11). An outdoor Ross House space is also in the works!

BCS Strategic Plan 2021-24

Dear Friends, Over the last decade, BCS has undergone tremendous growth. Our student body has expanded in both numbers and diversity. We have introduced new curricula and athletic programs, and we have enhanced student life programming. Our built infrastructure, and the beautiful campus that embraces it, have been upgraded, sending a strong message to current students and prospective BCS families alike that BCS is both listening and responding to the challenge of preparing young people for the(ir) future. Our parents are more actively engaged and connected than ever, as is our global community of alumni. As we all know, the BCS experience does not end with graduation but extends throughout the lives of our community members.

So, it is with enthusiasm and pride that we share with you Bishop’s College School’s 2021-24 Strategic Plan. Succinct and powerful, this plan has one over-arching goal: whole school improvement which will position BCS among global leaders in independent education.

Successfully reaching this goal requires ambitious thinking, underpinned by solid planning and preparedness. Therefore, the 2021-24 plan was designed as a tool for school leadership to identify, analyze, and improve all divisions of the school, bringing increased harmony, productivity and coordination between Academics, Student Life, Admissions, Advancement, Communications, and Operations. This will be critical to subsequent strategic initiatives, which are already being eagerly anticipated.

Last year, we welcomed Michel Lafrance, our 32nd Head of School. We also returned to in-person learning during an ongoing global pandemic, after a short hiatus of online learning. Given the challenges our school faced, it would have surprised no one if the decision was taken to be content with holding steady the wheel until the storm had passed. But anyone who has driven through an Eastern Townships blizzard knows that a good driver steers INTO the skid, not away from it. Boldly, Mr. Lafrance, his senior leadership team, and the Association Board began moving forward and a Strategic Planning Committee was struck.

The 35-member committee included directors from both the Association and Foundation Boards, equal faculty and staff representation, and the senior leadership team, guided by an outside facilitator. After collecting feedback via surveys from our full community (students, employees, parents, and alumni) in the spring, the group came together for two virtual retreats and several rounds of survey result analysis, brainstorming, feedback, and iterations, as goals were identified and the plan itself took shape.

“The goal of this dynamic three-year plan is to enhance all areas of the school through innovation and forward thinking and ultimately improve the student experience at BCS. Our community thrives on the pursuit of excellence and the support of all members of the BCS family, and this is reflected in our newly crafted mission, vision, and values that represent the BCS of today and tomorrow. We will strive to communicate and engage all our constituents at a higher level, we promise to do better with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, and we will aim for high standards of environmental sustainability. Most importantly, we will continue to place the students at the heart of our decision-making and improve every facet of the school, to ensure that our graduates become successful contributors to society.”

– Michel Lafrance, Head of School We invite you to discover the plan in the following pages. We welcome your feedback and support. With this new plan, BCS re-commits to delivering an exemplary educational experience to young people, to honouring the trust caregivers of our students have placed in us, to making BCS a wonderful place to live and work for our employees, to respecting the expectations of our donors, and to being a touchstone for our alumni and friends.

The following school-wide priorities will guide and influence our strategies, tactics, and decision-making throughout the execution of our strategic plan.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Improve engagement and foster relationships with all stakeholders through strategic and personalized communication.

On the heels of the last strategic plan, we have increased our communication to all constituents, across multiple platforms. We will continue to build and strengthen new and existing relationships, so that all members of our community are well-informed and connected to the school.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Develop a comprehensive environmental sustainability program.

One of the differentiators for BCS is the natural environment in which the campus is located, and its preservation has always been top of mind for our community. As responsible stewards of both the school and the planet, we will develop an environmental sustainability program, policies, and infrastructure that will minimize the school6s current and future environmental footprint. At the heart of this program will be our students, who will learn, experience, and steward environmental responsibility.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & JUSTICE Design for effective D I within our community.

Building on the - school theme of Diversity, quity, and Inclusion,6 we are committed to further valuing our global community of students from over countries. We want to ensure that all members of our community7inclusive of gender, ability, religion, identity, and culture7know they belong and that there is honest and authentic diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice at BCS.

STRATEGIC GOALS The following goals encompass the direction that each department will undertake to lead to whole-school improvement and the enhancement of the BCS experience.

ACADEMICS As we commit to improving students' awareness of how they learn and study best, we will also further develop our academic guidance and support, and ongoing communication for our Middle School and Senior School students and parents. Finally, we will enhance our co-curricular offerings in all areas and promote inter-disciplinary learning inside and outside the classroom.

STUDENT LIFE As society continues to change, so too will our Student ife and Board ife curriculums, evolving and innovating to prepare students for an ever-changing world. We will enhance our philosophy, programs, and activities with future-forward thinking, embracing global mindedness and prioritizing overall wellness, resilience, respect, and empathy.

ADMISSIONS BCS offers a truly Canadian experience while cultivating an awareness and appreciation of global cultures and diversity. We will continue to explore new global markets, making the BCS experience accessible to an even wider audience and consequently enriching the student experience. We are committed to developing strong relationships with families and educational partners while leveraging our virtual tools and platforms.

ADVANCEMENT People are at the heart of our community; we continue to cultivate relationships with our global alumni across all generations and foster their connection to the BCS of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Furthering the culture of philanthropy will ensure the necessary gifts to continually enhance the campus, programs, and financial accessibility for families.

COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING We will position BCS as a world-class school. Amplifying the voices of our entire community, we will share the defining journey that is BCS, and the life-long influence and friendships that result. We will leverage these stories to lead new and returning audiences to our school website, increasing both interest and our community6s sense of belonging, loyalty, and pride.

FINANCE & OPERATIONS Our over-arching goal is to achieve financial prosperity and long-term sustainability. We will also work with our community to develop and implement the BCS campus of the future. Finally, we are committed to offering continuous learning for all BCS employees, encouraging and facilitating professional growth and expertise. *Document visuals are a work in progress in collaboration with Form VII student, Johanna.

Of course, we would not be able to celebrate our students’ excellence without the dedicated, passionate work of our teachers.

They teach, motivate, and inspire our students to reach their full potential and pursue their dreams.

We said a fond farewell to two such BCS mentors this past year, as they stepped down to enjoy their well-earned retirement after leaving their own indelible marks on Moulton Hill.

Lynn Harding Lynn Harding was a math teacher, coach, mentor, colleague, friend, and champion of BCS for 36 years. As a long-time swimming and gymnastics coach, Lynn also coached curling, track & field, horseback riding, fitness, soccer, and intramurals. She spent her career assisting the Glass House staff and impacting the girls in a positive manner. Ms. Harding will be remembered as a beloved Math teacher who believed in every student’s potential and worked tirelessly for them to succeed.

Régine Mesnil Régine Mesnil has been the heart and soul of the French Department for 35 years. She believed in promoting the French language, culture, traditions, and values. As an English school in Quebec, BCS benefitted from her efforts and devotion to place bilingualism at the forefront of a quality BCS education and experience. Régine was a mentor to some, an inspiration to many, and a trusted colleague to all. Every student in Mme Mesnil’s classroom was guaranteed to fall in love with the French language and leave BCS forever changed.

Please join us in thanking both Lynn and Régine for their years of service and wishing them happy and healthy retirements—hopefully with the occasional visit back to Centre Stairs.

Our 60 golfers braved the showers to enjoy good company on the green. Thank you to everyone who participated and a special thank you to our host, David Stenason, BCS’75.

The following people made it possible for many young alumni to play in this tournament: Neil Cunningham, BCS’77, Rick Howson, BCS’67, Linda Rodeck, BCS’81, Michael Zinay, BCS’72, Danny Lalonde, BCS’72, Peter Provencher, BCS’77, Fraser Baillie, BCS’58, Matt Kenny, BCS’79, Craig Moffat, BCS’85, Kip Cobbett, BCS’66, and the BCS Foundation. Thank you for your contributions and for supporting young alumni programs at BCS.

“Thank you for organizing such a wonderful event yesterday. I was flattered to be the sponsoring member from Mount Bruno that hosts this event and am hopeful that we can keep this tradition going for many years into the future. It is particularly encouraging to see the younger alumni participating. I meant what I said last night—it’s very impressive how the school and its staff have managed things through a very difficult situation in the past two years. Bravo! Our old school is indeed in good hands. I look forward to our 200th anniversary golf tournament at Mount Bruno in 2036! ” David Stenason, BCS’75

REPORT ON GIVING 2020-21

House Sweet Home Nothing inspires lifelong friendships and bonds people together quite like sharing a house. It was with this long and rich history of BCS houses in mind that we launched our major spring campaign to renovate within all our houses, and create inspiring outdoor spaces for all students to enjoy.

Our target was $1,000,000 and 500 donors in just nine short weeks. The projects selected were a mix of urgent needs and interesting upgrades that would benefit all students—both current and future. The campaign featured weekly challenges, with fun prizes for the winning houses.

The real goal of House Sweet Home was community building and that was a resounding success.

You made it possible Thanks to YOU, we surpassed our $1M target. With a total of $1.327M raised, our community made sure that all projects within all the houses were funded. We had a total of 445 donors, including 76 who gave again for the first time in many years. The response from our young alumni (2010-2020) ensured that we planted 51 trees throughout our campus.

The result of this spring campaign was very positive. We witnessed 140 of our alumni and friends of BCS make their first gift to the school, which is an excellent sign for the future.

Your generosity, participation, and willingness to help BCS continue to improve truly demonstrates a deep sentiment of care and love for this school.

Top to bottom: We planted a total of 64 trees across campus this fall—51 of which are thanks to donations from young alumni; New stone pathways were laid throughout the Quad, a project from our Thanks(for)giving 2020 appeal; A new lounge area in the sports complex was made possible, also due to support during Thanks(for)giving.

REPORT ON GIVING 2020-21

A giving strategy with big impact One of the greatest myths about impact and giving is that one needs to have a lot to make a big difference. Two examples:

Shirley Law, BCS’93 Tyler Lewis & Renee Lewis Luoqing Li & Min Dong Patrick Lizotte & Danie Simard Françoise Lyon Sheila Lyster

Years ago, an alumnus set up a life insurance policy with BCS as sole beneficiary. For 20 years, monthly tax receiptable installment payments of $159 were made. The policy is now fully funded, and the benefit to BCS is currently valued at $76,000 and continues to grow annually.

A number of BCS alumni have made arrangements in their estate planning to remember BCS. For illustrative purposes, if 300 BCS alumni (5% of the alumni family) chose to name BCS as a beneficiary of, say, $30,000/each in their estate planning, the school would in time be $9 million better supported in terms of its programs. That’s a lot of generosity that can have tremendous impact. What is more, because BCS is a non-profit organization, the tax benefit of legacy giving can in fact be a benefit to family by lessening the tax burden for your remaining loved ones.
