Governance Find joy. Explore potential. Live with purpose. INNOVATION THRIVES AT HSC. While our students are busy learning
with joy and living with purpose, they are also cultivating a sense of creativity and innovativeness. As early as 18 months of age in the Junior and Montessori Schools, HSC students begin to learn about inquiry, imagination and leadership. In Middle School, their curiosity is ignited, and they begin to discover their interests and passions in a supportive, connected environment. As they transition to the Senior School, they learn to take ownership of those interests and become inspired to cultivate the skills needed to live and lead with purpose. 2 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE

Progress, Passion and Authenticity THE 2018–19 SCHOOL YEAR AT HSC WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE BY ALL ACCOUNTS, as you will see in this Annual Report. We
had a strong year from an enrolment perspective, as we welcomed our largest student population: 1,213 students. We were also able to significantly increase the amount of dollars raised to support students and programs at HSC—of which the most impactful was the successful completion of the initial year of our first-ever Morgan Family Scholarship recipient. We continued to make excellent progress in year five of the implementation of our strategic plan, Towards 20/20, and I encourage you to visit hsc.on.ca/strategy for regular updates. Our goal is to make the learning of each student at HSC more authentic, so that we can ensure the student experience is one of joyful engagement. We want our students to feel ownership of their learning and empowered to follow their passions. One of the most unique ways that we foster this excitement and innovative practice is through the generosity of the David Tutty Joy and Innovation Fund. Now entering its fourth year, the fund has supported dozens of student and staff ideas in such areas as studentrun companies, environmental initiatives, playground enhancements, outdoor learning spaces and much, much more. The fund continues to be the driver behind the ideation process of seeing an idea through to fruition. As you read this report, I hope that you will get a great sense of how the support of our community creates this unique experience for all of our students. We would like to thank all of our many donors and volunteers for all that they do to keep HSC on the very leading edge of independent schools in Canada. 4 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE

An Innovative Learning Environment THE 2018–19 SCHOOL YEAR WAS ONE OF VIBRANCY, creativity and innovation across all areas of the College. The major area of focus for the Board of Governors was the advancement and monitoring of the implementation of year four of the College’s strategic plan, Towards 20/20. Across all eight directions, the plan continues to highlight the incredible work that is being done within the walls of HSC, and the connections between the directions are greater than anticipated. Over the next few years, HSC will continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence, keeping us on the leading edge of independent schools in Canada. During the 2018–19 school year, the College continued to create an authentic learning environment. Further exploring project-based learning, the Grade 3 students in the Junior School went Ballistic for Bears (you can read all about it on page 20), and our Middle School students learned about the real-life applications of science through the Space Expo (see page 16). Our Montessori School demonstrated innovation through their 21st century learning applications (page 22), and the Senior School students let their creativity flow with the Designwerx and Panwerx programs (page 14).
Andy Kain
Chair, Board of Governors
As you walk through the halls, and around the campus, there are so many examples of the strategic plan coming to life at HSC. The Board has committed to a very public and frequent communication of our progress, and I can say with confidence that this plan and its thoughtful execution are positioning HSC at the forefront of independent education in Canada. In closing, I would be remiss if I didn’t express my sincere gratitude to our many donors and volunteers. Our donors and volunteer supporters are essential to the HSC community, and without their dedication, hard work and generosity, HSC wouldn’t be what it is today: a leader in innovation and an environment where students learn with joy and live with purpose. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to this extraordinary effort. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 5

EVERY STUDENT WHO WALKS THROUGH THE HALLS of HSC and attends the
College for at least one full year is considered an alumnus and becomes part of the HSC Alumni Association. This long-standing network is a great way to stay connected to the HSC community through events and mentorship opportunities.
Alumni Association
Mentor Connect
8 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE
Creating a lifelong community, the ever-growing Mentor Connect program gives alumni the opportunity to create connections between themselves, and even with current students. In 2018–19, Alumni Reunion events took a different approach to keeping the community connected and shifted focus to creating networking events. These events were designed to build a stronger network, allowing our alumni to feel engaged and connected to this vibrant community. Mentor Connect also gives current students the chance to learn from their predecessors through classroom activities in which alumni are brought back to campus to provide guidance.
Staff, Alumni and Parent Musical HSC’S STAFF, ALUMNI AND PARENTS ARE quite the talented bunch! This year,
50 or so volunteers took to the stage (and behind the stage!) to bring Nice Work If You Can Get It to life. This Gershwin musical, set in the 1920s Prohibition era, tells the tale of a charming and wealthy playboy who meets a rough-and-tough female bootlegger, who, along with her cohorts, causes quite the kerfuffle. With faculty member Bob McGall stepping up as the production’s new director, this show was a fan favourite. From on-stage acting, to set production, to costume design, the Staff, Alumni and Parent Musical is a great example of HSC’s community coming together.
Golf DURING THE 23RD ANNUAL HSC GOLF CLASSIC ON JUNE 18, 2019, 144 golfers stepped up to the tee in support of HSC scholarships. Presented by the HSC Alumni Association, the sold-out event offered golfers an expansive selection of fun tournament experiences, including the longest marshmallow drive, closest to the pin, beat the pro, and putting green challenge. The 24th annual HSC Golf Classic will take place on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 at the Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club. Don’t putter around, as registration fills up quickly—2020 isn’t fore away!

Homecoming SATURDAY, MAY 11 BROUGHT FORTH sunny
skies and a celebration for all members of the HSC community. In past years, Homecoming was spread out across our campus, but given the closeness of HSC’s community, this year the festivities were moved to one central location. This new twist on an old favourite meant that friends were always nearby. Creative inspirations were seen at the Showcase of the Arts, while rugby fans were able to cheer on the purple and green at
the athletic games. The complimentary breakfast and lunch barbecue, Hektor’s Home Run, Pine/Yre Student Council Charity Car Wash and Vendor’s Village were just a few of the ways we celebrated HSC. In the evening, the celebrations continued with the Alumni Reunion Dinner, honouring the classes of 1944 and 1989. At the Athletic Hall of Fame Awards, Michelle Harle ’03 (Hunter), Adam Ruickbie ’03, Anthony Hughes, and Kenneth Cooper ’65, along with the 1984–85 U13 Boys’ Soccer Team and the 2003–04 U15 Girls’ Soccer Team, were inducted for 2018. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 9

WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE COLLEGE, the Parents’ Guild strives to create
a more connected community at HSC. Every HSC parent automatically becomes part of the Parents’ Guild and has the option to choose his or her level of involvement. Through their involvement with all four schools, the Parents’ Guild hosts fundraising events, such as Winterfest and Monster Mash, and oversees the Student-to-Student Uniform Program (including the sales throughout the year). Entirely volunteer-run, the Parents’ Guild takes the funds raised through these events and allocates them to the Parents’ Guild Bursary, the Area of Greatest Need (formerly known as the Head of College Fund), and the David Tutty Joy and Innovation Fund.
Staff Appreciation Breakfast

EACH YEAR THE PARENTS’ GUILD GIVES thanks to the amazing faculty and staff
10 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE
at HSC by hosting a Staff Appreciation Breakfast. This year, 186 faculty and staff were treated to a bountiful breakfast, and the Parents’ Guild, in collaboration with our Operations Department, worked to make sure that the event was as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. Stemming from the College’s waste management and sustainability initiatives, the Parents’ Guild has worked to reduce the environmental impact of all of their events. The Staff Appreciation Breakfast became a pilot project for incorporating a better waste management system with compost and recycling options. In addition to featuring distinctly marked waste bins, the event involved compostable plates, yogurt containers and napkins, and all tablecloths were reusable. Volunteers were eager to point out the new system, and event signage assisted in clarifying what items should be sorted into what bins. Many small steps can create big change when it comes to maintaining a sustainable campus.
Monster Mash A GHOULISH GOOD TIME WAS HAD AT THIS YEAR’S MONSTER MASH EVENT. The always popular Halloween community event features a variety of spooky games, activities and some pretty impressive décor. Planned and executed by the Parents’ Guild, this fan favourite included some new and exciting features this year. Families were treated to a sit-down dinner, cotton candy, themed activities and a “spook-tacular” haunted hallway. The addition of three escape rooms this year was exceedingly popular, with lineups at all three stations throughout the evening. This fundraising event saw more than 1,000 attendees and a spectacular array of costumes. The event’s centralized location—it was held in the triple gyms this year—added to the close-knit community feel of the evening, and word on the street was that, after all the dancing and festivities, there were some pretty tired students at the end of the night.

Hektor’s Home Run THIS YEAR THE PARENTS’ GUILD JUMPED WITH
both feet into the planning of Homecoming, taking on the fan favourite, Hektor’s Home Run. This family-friendly 1k and 3k race around the campus took on a new direction under the guidance of the Parents’ Guild. Collaborating with the Athletics Department to reinforce the concept of physical literacy, they provided a new twist this year. In both the 1k and 3k runs, physical literacy and recovery stations were added to the run routes. These stations focused on lower
body activities to help keep participants engaged, but also offered a quick rest for those who needed it. The stations included hay bales that could be hurdled, jumped or negotiated in a serpentine motion. Also included were a plyometric station with staggered hula-hoops for hopping, which promoted coordination, and a balancing station, featuring mats and benches. In addition to giving the run activities a makeover, the Parents’ Guild spiced up the décor of the run, adding balloons and loud, fun music, and each participant received a chocolate medal donated by Walker’s Chocolates. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 11

Innovation at HSC
I IF YOU THINK THAT A STUDENT-RUN GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDIO OR LEARNING ABOUT CULINARY ARTS SOUNDS LIKE FUN, then you would be
in good company in the Senior School. The innovative creations being developed in Designwerx and Panwerx are giving students new skill sets, a passion for the creative, and life skills that can be applied in real-world situations. Both credited courses in the Senior School, Designwerx and Panwerx, allow students to learn and harness their skills in a professional platform. In the Designwerx studio, students work with internal and external clients on a variety of projects, from websites to client branding and printed materials. They are given the opportunity to create designs, while often receiving mentorship and feedback from the clients who are interested in seeing their success. Each year the students graphically recreate a book as part of their legacy project. The 2018–19 class retold the story of Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends, and a copy will be distributed to each of the Learning Commons at HSC.
In the Panwerx program, students in Grades 11 and 12 are given the opportunity to learn inventive cooking skills, client management and event planning. They are even given some insights into balancing large budgets. The course operates in a style that reflects project-based learning and gives students an invaluable look at the culinary and hospitality industries. Serving a number of internal clients, the students put their skills to work at creating delectable dishes. Adding a new layer of innovation and excitement to the course in 2018–19, students showed off their cooking chops in a Chopped Challenge. Similar to the popular Food Network show Chopped, students were given ingredients and had to create dishes that were judged on taste, presentation and creativity. Faculty and staff formed a panel and had to pick who would be on the “chopping block”. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 15

G GRADE 6 STUDENTS TOOK THEIR LEARNING OUT OF THIS WORLD WITH their space unit this
year. Although the unit was previously run predominantly online, the Middle School decided to utilize project-based learning to teach students about space in a way that was less teacher-driven and more focused on allowing students to drive their own learning by exploring their passions. Throughout the unit, students went into deep space to learn about celestial bodies, relay satellites, space junk, stellar life cycles, and other profoundly extraordinary objects. Starting with the big question of “How might we better understand space using models?” students set out to research topics of interest before coming up with a plan as to how they could create a model that would make sense to them but would also be understood by someone who they might have to explain it to. The unit finished with a Space Expo, in which the students presented their findings to fellow students, parents, faculty, staff, and members of the McMaster University Physics and Astronomy Department, as well as members of the Hamilton Amateur
Astronomers club. Having a real audience with a range of knowledge bases to present to added a fun layer to the expo. The students had to not only make sure that they knew their projects, but they also had to relay the information and carry on knowledgeable conversations with people who had a background in their topic of interest, as well as those who had no level of exposure to the concepts. In true HSC fashion, the community rallied around the students to help bring their ideas to life, supporting them in a way that helped them to realize their dreams for what their models could be. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 17

O OUR PAST SCHOOL YEAR SAW THE LAUNCH OF HSC’S FIRST STRUCTURED VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.
With hundreds of volunteers within our community—ranging from our Parents’ Guild, our alumni, and our faculty and staff to the parents of our alumni—we are thankful to everyone who has given of their time. Actively involved in College events, the Parents’ Guild works with the four schools to staff events, fundraise, help out at College-wide Open Houses, and foster a sense of community. Their involvement in events, such as Monster Mash, Winterfest, the Staff Appreciation Breakfast, the New Student Buddy Dinner and Homecoming, is a great asset. Our volunteer network also extends to a dedicated group of parents of alumni who have stayed deeply connected to the College despite their children having graduated. This talented group can be seen behind the scenes of our theatre productions and helping out at Homecoming, and they are well known for their Parents of Alumni Café at some of our signature events.
With the expansion of the volunteer program came the development of our Archives program, which is rich with an ever-growing collection of memorabilia, records and images from HSC’s long history. Three dedicated alumni, Tricia Harrison ’67, Marjorie Denton ’68 and Trudi Down (nee Noel) ’68, have been diligent in logging, organizing and cataloguing our historical mementos. Located in the upper level of the Strathallan Building, the Archives is home to everything from staff portraits throughout the years, old hand-written progress reports, class photos and uniforms to the variations of the College crest. If you have a piece of HSC history that you would like to donate to our Archives program, please contact advancement@hsc.on.ca. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 19

Ballistic for Bears
20 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE
Innovation at HSC
T THE JUNIOR SCHOOL’S GRADE 3 STUDENTS went “ballistic for bears” as part of their projectbased learning initiatives. What started with simple conversations about our beautiful province transformed into the students interviewing faculty and staff about the places in Ontario that are special to them. Each student then received a small teddy bear with big dreams to travel to three locations in the province. Faculty members Cathy Lazier and Sue Giordano helped these inquisitive students put on their thinking caps as they researched destinations across Ontario. Students researched natural sites, centres of entertainment and education, as well as locations of cultural or political significance. Mark Mitchell, Middle School Geography teacher and world traveller, also helped introduce them to the idea of itineraries and taught them how to use a travel app to help in the planning. As their research progressed, the students created clothing and belongings for their bears that were well suited to the places they would be visiting. They
learned map reading, created detailed itineraries, and even explored modes of transportation. As part of their learning, the students also met with Jim Hill, Senior Manager of Heritage from the Niagara Parks Authority, who brought his own bear, Misty, along to talk about the Niagara area. Finally, the day of departure came and, together with their appropriate luggage, the bears set off in a school bus to begin their adventures. Each bear sent back a personalized letter to tell the students about the adventures they were having, and days later the bears returned, bringing small mementos and letters from their “trips”. This was a beautiful journey of discovery for the children, who bonded with the little characters they created and were earnestly committed to creating the best trip ever for them! 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 21

Innovation at HSC
Approach T THE MONTESSORI SCHOOL SHOWCASES INNOVATION EVERY DAY through its directed learning
approach to educating students. The Montessori method of educating has been around for more than 100 years, but is more relevant and innovative than ever given today’s educational climate. Based on Maria Montessori’s observation of the child, HSC’s Montessori program engages students in topics of interest and allows them to work on their own developmental level. This method of educating puts much of the decision making and planning in the children’s hands. While there have been changes within society, through trends, culture and advancement, the development of the child has not changed. By incorporating societal changes into a Montessori education, students’ social, emotional
and academic needs are met in a way that places an emphasis on problem solving and innovation. Technology, for example, has changed drastically over the past few years, but the skills needed to understand it have not. In the Montessori program at HSC, students aged 18 months to five years begin to gather the skills needed to navigate through technology— problem solving, sequencing and patterning. At a young age they begin to experience this concrete learning, which is both age and stage appropriate for them. As they get older, they can start to use those skills and applications. At the age of six, they begin to learn about preprogramming and programming, as well as how to use technology to research and publish. Whether learning about technology, mathematics, history, or physical literacy, the ability to make connections, to self-correct, and to develop an entrepreneurial and self-motivated spirit are at the heart of this innovative educational experience. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 23

Working under the idea that being happy at work will lead to increased productivity, Plasticity has been helping us to understand the current state of people and culture through a number of employee feedback/culture surveys. These surveys are run every three months and help to identify key areas of needed improvement across the College. The company has been brought in to deliver training to our faculty and staff to develop empathy and gratitude—skills needed to help build a thriving work environment. Through working with Plasticity, we have a good understanding of where our strengths and weaknesses lie as an organization and are working towards creating solutions for our areas of concern. 24 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE

Shifting the focus of assessment and reporting: Why and how the landscape of assessment at HSC is changing to better serve our learners
The Shifting from Knowledge Acquisition to Skill Development
CULTIVATING COMMUNITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS IS an important part of HSC’s
AS THE TRADITIONAL ROLES THAT STUDENTS ONCE ASPIRED TO FILL IN OUR COMMUNITIES CHANGE,
educators and institutions are reexamining what skills are valued and necessary in today’s workplace. In demand are skills such as problem solving, effective communication and collaboration, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of digital literacy. How do we ensure that our students are developing these essential characteristics? One thing is clear: continuing to deliver the knowledge-heavy curricula of the past will not ensure that our students develop these necessary skills and mindsets. Classroom practice has been changing to reflect this need. While the pedagogy of instruction has dramatically shifted to reflect best-teaching practices, adapting traditional and outmoded assessment practices has been slow to follow. If we are to facilitate student learning in a more dynamic manner, we must ensure that our assessment and reporting are more reflective and authentic, making student learning visible.

community, and curating relationships with local indigenous organizations is part of that. In 2018–19, HSC worked with Mohawk College to offer a micro-course in Indigenous Studies. With 44 faculty and staff registered for this course, our employees have been able to explore the culture, histories, experiences and worldviews of the first peoples of Canada. In expanding our own understanding, it is possible to recognize gaps in our knowledge, allowing us to continue to grow and learn.
Experts Program OUR FACULTY AND STAFF HAVE SUCH AN IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF our students each and every day.
IN THE PAST, schools traditionally relied on summative evaluations to measure student success and learning. Unfortunately, these types of evaluations are designed to place a value or grade solely on the final product produced. In a modern school environment where our guiding principles demand that assessment, evaluation and reporting’s overarching purpose is to improve student learning (Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting in Ontario Schools, 2010), we must now embrace the true meaning of assessment: to develop and support the learning path itself as a key component of learning.

Metacognition and Ongoing Feedback THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION POSED AND being actively addressed by our faculty is How might we make assessment at HSC more transparent, more reflective and more consistent for our students and their families? In our Middle School classrooms, we value and prioritize the way we engage students in their own understanding of their Learning and Academic Skills.
Over the past decade, we have shifted from a more teacher-directed, content-oriented environment to one strongly influenced by student inquiry, creativity and innovation. As this shift has occurred, the role of our faculty continues to evolve, requiring a greater level of facilitation, coaching and mentoring. The Experts Program is a three-year program for our innovative leaders who would like to become more knowledgeable in certain areas. In the first year of the program, faculty are highly engaged in research, studying and professional development for enhanced personal and professional growth. In years two and three, they implement strategies to support enhanced collaboration and teamwork within the schools and across the College (and sometimes externally) to educate and inform in their area of expertise. At HSC we have experts in a variety of subject areas, including digital technologies, learning landscapes, project-based learning, online learning, assessment and evaluation, executive functioning, and personalized learning. 2018–19 ANNUAL REPORT | 25

Financial Highlights
A AS WE LOOK BACK ON OUR PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR, HSC is most fortunate to reflect
that we achieved our highest-ever student enrolment; we celebrated the inaugural year of the Morgan Family Scholarship; and we continued our trajectory of strong financial performance and sustainability. Through the generous efforts and contributions of our community, HSC is pleased to announce that we were able to fully extinguish the long-term debt in relation to the construction of the Michael G. DeGroote Centre for Excellence by June 30, 2019. It’s a testament to the level of generosity received that we have been able to achieve this almost unimaginable goal within five years of completion of the initial construction. Our faculty and staff always strive to provide an outstanding educational experience for our students from both an academic and co-curricular perspective. At the core of our decision-making process is ensuring that HSC provides an exceptional experience to our students, thereby supporting our mission, vision and guiding principles, “to live with joy and learn with purpose”. We underpin our ability to deliver on these principles through strong fiscal management by setting policies and making decisions that are in direct alignment with our mission and our strategic plan. 34 | HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE
Some of our key financial highlights pertaining to the 2018–19 school year are as follows: • As mentioned, we have fully extinguished our long-term debt as of June 30, 2019. We were able to achieve this through the very generous donations received from the entire HSC community and through the strength of our expansion fund. The total amount of funds utilized to extinguish the debt was $3.5M. • Our expansion fund recognized an excess of revenues for the year in the amount of $1.255M. A significant portion of this excess was utilized to fund the extinguishment of the debt at the end of the year. The remaining amount was earmarked for the installation of a naturalized play space to be shared by both our Montessori and Junior Schools. • The operating fund recognized an excess of revenues in the amount of $1.478M. • Through our operating fund, we were able to fund scholarships and bursaries totalling $450,000. • Our operations funded the acquisition of $655,000 in capital assets during the year. • Of our total investment in capital assets, we did the following: • Completed rejuvenation of the flooring and decals of the Page Gym; • Purchased new catering equipment to ensure that we fully leverage the capabilities of our renovated and revamped dining hall; • Installed a Mac lab in our Senior School; • Purchased iPads for use by our Junior School students; and, • Installed a new roof on the DeGroote Gym. • Our Endowment Fund earned a return on investment in the amount of $122,000. We ensure our Endowment Fund is invested in such a manner that attempts to preserve the capital and that provides a continued ability to fund scholarships and bursaries at the College. This is achieved through managing our endowed funds in accordance with restrictions placed by donors and our College Endowment Investment and Spending Policy.

Respect. Integrity. Community. Individuality. Determination. Our core mission is to develop joyful and engaged students who live life with purpose. The best learning happens when students are happy to come to school, have opportunities to follow their passions, and participate in deep learning experiences that challenge them. Joyful, engaged students develop strong relationships with their peers and with the caring adults who spark and support their learning both inside the classroom and beyond. Their journey at HSC prepares students to live with purpose—to understand their world, inspire, lead, act, and make a difference in their own unique ways.
