Message from the Chair

R

SGC is a special place. I am constantly reminded of this when I speak to fellow parents and staff. And I am reminded of this when I see our boys on and off campus. Our boys have an excellent reputation in the independent school community.

They are smart, resilient, thoughtful, polite, kind and generous. They live by the motto Manners Maketh Men and are the best ambassadors we have. All of them are “known and loved” within the College, a characteristic brought to life by all of our staff and faculty, whose incredible commitment and hard work, led by Headmaster Stephen Beatty ’86, have been an inspiration to me during my years on the Board.

RSGC remains in a strong financial position and at full enrolment capacity. The Great School, Great Boys campaign, completed successfully in 2016, enabled the school to proceed with the transformation of Ketchum Hall, which was Phase 1 of our Junior School Redevelopment Plan. This

year, Phase 2 of the project – focused on the Junior School lobby, Grades 3-6 classrooms and kitchen – was completed in September.

Phase 3 of the project, which will involve the renovation of the middle school classrooms, is expected to be completed by next September. In addition to the redevelopment project, we also completed an update to our campus security arrangements to ensure the safety of our boys. This followed a comprehensive security audit, mandated by the Board, that was undertaken in 2015/16.

The Junior School Redevelopment Plan and other miscellaneous capital improvements are consistent with the College’s five-year strategic plan and present our boys with inspired and secure spaces in which to learn and grow. All of the work is being undertaken in a financially responsible and sustainable manner and, when complete, will mark a significant improvement in our facilities.

On the governance front, we had a busy year with the full and active participation of our Board of Governors. Importantly, we renewed the contract of our Headmaster for another five years. Stephen Beatty is one of the most respected headmasters in Canada and is a key reason why the school has prospered in recent years. We are very fortunate to have him. We also continued to focus on succession at the Board level, with the election of three new members: Roma Dubczak, Gord Raman and Lynne Woollcombe. These appointments continue our systematic effort to attract first-rate professionals to the Board and I am grateful for their willingness to serve.

We also said farewell to our Past Chair, Paul Clark ’85, and the Treasurer, Cathy Bateman, both of whom served the school with great distinction over many years. Thank you, Cathy

and Paul. I leave my role as Chair with the confidence of knowing that the Board is in excellent shape, with the election of my successor, Bruce Chapple ’87, as Chair, and Cathy Cranston as Vice Chair. Bruce and Cathy are thoughtful and committed leaders who I know will continue to make a valuable contribution to the school for years to come.

Finally, RSGC successfully completed its reaccreditation as a member of the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS).

This process occurs every five to seven years and provides an important independent assessment of many aspects of the school’s operations. The independent CAIS assessment team visited the school in October 2016, and we received affirmation of our reaccreditation in April 2017. The Board and numerous staff and faculty participated in this rigorous process, and I’m grateful to them for the extensive time and effort required to successfully complete the process.

I am truly honoured to have been able to serve as Chair of the Board of Governors for the past two years. Part of what makes the school so special are the many dedicated teachers and staff who come to work every day to help our boys learn, grow and become thoughtful and resilient young leaders who I know will make a meaningful difference in our community, across Canada and the world. To them, I would like to say a special thank you. I have loved being a Georgian parent, and being involved as a Board member has made being a part of this community even that much more rewarding.

Message from the Treasurer A

s I complete my six-year term as a Governor and Treasurer of the College, I am pleased to report on another strong financial year.

Enrolment of 447 students resulted in tuition and other revenue of $14.4 million, compared to $14.1 million in the previous year. The Foundation was able to grant $1.3 million to the College, consisting of $1 million in payments designated for capital projects along with $300,000 in restricted and unrestricted donations for operations. The College also raised $318,000 from the Gala ($160,000 after expenses), which was designated to the school kitchen renovation. Operating expenses (including interest and depreciation) totaled $15 million compared to $14.3 million in the previous year. The increase was largely due to salaries and benefits, depreciation of capital assets with the completion of Phase 1 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan and fundraising expenses incurred for the gala held during the year.

Our strong enrolment over the last four years has allowed us to aggressively pay down the $6.7 million debt (including $1.7 million in pledge loans) taken on in Fiscal 2013 to finance the construction project

Salaries and benefits 70.00%

Interest on long-term debt 0.68% Depreciation of capital assets 10.69% Scholarships and bursaries 3.16% Fundraising expenses 1.23% Communications and advancement 1.11% Facilities 3.66% General and administration 3.23% Academic program 6.24%

EXPENSES

completed in that year. The debt relating to that project was reduced to just over $2 million at June 30, 2017, compared to the prior fiscal year balance of $2.8 million.

Phase 1 of 3 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan was completed during Fiscal 2017 at a total cost over two fiscal years of approximately $3 million. We were fortunate to have this cost substantially covered by campaign receipts and pledges. The College entered into a pledge loan of $1.3 million secured against outstanding campaign pledges to finance a portion of this phase of the construction.

During the year, the College invested approximately $2.8 million in capital improvements, the majority of which – $1.8 million – relates to the completion of Phase 1 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan and approximately $400,000 to Phase 2 of the project, which commenced in Fiscal 2017 and will be completed in early Fiscal 2018.

Additional capital improvements during the year consisted of investment in a new campuswide security system, technology and other classroom furniture and equipment.

The final and third phase of the Redevelopment Plan commences in the spring of 2018 and will focus on the lower level of the Junior School. We thank the College community for your continued patience and support during these projects.

I would like to thank Jane Nyman for the extraordinary job she does as our CFO and for making my job easy. I would also like to thank the members of the Board of Governors and the Audit and Finance Committee for all their support during my term as Treasurer and Governor of the College. I leave the College finances in excellent hands as Stephen Geist takes over the Treasurer position commencing October 2017.

Message from the Executive Director of Advancement

T

hose of us in the RSGC Advancement Office feel that we have the best job in the school. Our work to advance the mission of the College by fostering support and volunteerism allows us to connect with the broader RSGC community: parents, alumni, friends, grandparents, teachers and our student body — everyone who gives back because of their affection for and connection to the school and the friendships they have made during their time at RSGC. This year and every year, support for the College continues to grow.

As improvements to the campus continue, it is easy to see how our donors are making a difference in the lives of our students. We also continue to focus on scholarships as we work toward hosting a student body that is more reflective of our diverse urban surroundings.

Here are some highlights from the 2016/2017 school year:

• 100% participation in

giving from our Board of Directors, Foundation Board of Trustees, RSGC Alumni Association Executive Board, Faculty and Staff, and Grades 3, 4 and 6 families • Our 80 Bites Around the World Gala raised $160,000 for the new kitchen renovation • Annual Giving is at an all-time

high of $775,000 • Completion of Phases 1 and 2 of the Great School, Great Boys Campaign, with

$4,000,000 raised and $100,000 in new pledges this year

• Admission of our first fully funded scholarship student, supported by donations to the newly established Georgian Opportunity Fund • The first annual Cocktails and Carols holiday reception for alumni and their parents No success is ever achieved in isolation. I’d like to thank the Advancement Committee of the Board, the Campaign Cabinet, our Georgian Parents’ Guild, the Gala Committee, our Alumni Association Executive and our committed faculty and staff, who all work in partnership to help us deliver our programming and strengthen lifelong relationships to the College.

We thank you for your continued generosity and support of our great school.

Gratefully,

Maria Jordan, CFRE Executive Director of Advancement

The Tecimers: A Family Legacy

I

t’s been a long time since Dan Tecimer ’93 graduated from Royal St. George’s College. But his five years of high school at RSGC were such wonderful years that when it came time to look for a school for his son Evan, Class of 2023, Dan and his wife MaryAnne didn’t even apply anywhere else.

“It was very important to us to send Evan to RSGC,” said Dan, who works at Scotiabank as the Managing Director, Global Head of Corporate Trading. “He even started a year earlier than we were planning.”

Evan, who started at the College in Grade 6, takes the subway to school with several friends from his street. Dan is thrilled that his son has become so independent and is happy at the school where he has so many wonderful memories of his own.

“He’s taking advantage of the many opportunities that are offered to the boys,” said Dan, who is hoping to send his younger son, William, to RSGC next year. “He’s taking part in some clubs and a variety of different teams, which is something he’s really taken to. He went on the soccer trip to B.C. with the senior boys, which was incredible. He was with Mr. Evans, my old coach!”

The legacy connection is a unique one that few boys get to share with their fathers. Dan says that when they went on the tour to visit RSGC, they bumped into Nick Van Herk, who is now the College’s Director of University Counselling, but was Dan’s math teacher when he was in high school!

Evan loves being at the same school his father went to and certainly appreciates the legacy connection.

“Some of the teachers know my dad from when he was here and it helps me have a better connection with them,” said Evan, who says his dad is always telling him stories about when he was at the College. “He had a great time when he was here and he’s always hoped I could come too. I’m happy to be here.”

While Dan doesn’t recognize much of the facility anymore and is in awe when he walks into the renovated Ketchum Hall,

he knows that all of the great things that were in place when he was a student haven’t changed. When the call went out for donations for Phase 2 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan to help renovate the Junior School lobby, classrooms and the kitchen, Dan was more than happy to contribute.

“I have such good memories and I know Evan will come away with so many good memories of his own. RSGC is such a happy part of my life – it’s almost like what I am now was formed during my time there,” he said. “So if I can assist and keep that going for other people, I will. It’s something you feel good about.”

Evan didn’t realize that his family had made a donation to the place that he loves, but he reacted the Georgian way when he found out.

“Hopefully I can give back some money too when I’m older, so I can give some other kids the same opportunity that was given to me,” he said with a smile.

A Fresh, New Look on Campus Phase 2 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan Completed!

T

his summer, Phase 2 of the Junior School Redevelopment Plan was completed. This phase focused on the renovation of the kitchen, the refurbishment of first and second floor classrooms, as well as the creation of the Junior School Lobby and a second floor Learning Studio – a larger space where boys can meet for group work and collaborative projects. Classrooms were refreshed with new lighting, conditioned air and better acoustics.

Phase 1 was completed in the summer of 2016 and focused on the transformation of our dining hall into a Great Hall, the creation of a servery and the building of a new Junior School administration office.

Phase 3 will be completed during the summer of 2018 and includes improving lighting and air quality on the lower level of the Junior School and the creation of a common area for our middle-school students.

Thank you to all our donors whose support made this transformation possible.

Here’s what our staff and students are saying about their new space:

“I LOVE THE LOBBY. I love the feeling when I

arrive first thing in the morning, especially when the fireplace is going. I love the fact that people congregate in the lobby and chat. It’s great to see and hear people connecting outside of my office. It has been a bit of a game changer, as the lobby is the entry to the world of the Junior School, the cornerstone of the school: an open, friendly place where the community connects with each other as they move through their day.”

— Catherine Kirkland, Head of Junior School

TRANSFORMED THE JUNIOR SCHOOL.

“The renovation has The collaborative breakout area allows the boys to engage deeply in group work, and it is amazing to see how the space itself builds community and promotes active learning.”

– Anna Magor, Junior School Director of Teaching and Learning

“THE CLASSROOMS ARE BRIGHTER and more organized. The room was right-sized: even though it is smaller, it actually works better for the students. The central air was very welcome and helpful, especially during our warm fall. Storage has also been improved and the boys now have half lockers that take up less space and provide the right amount of storage they need for their books and belongings.”

– Brian Robinson, Junior School Teacher

“The new kitchen is

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES of organizational space and gives us the ability to move large quantities of food in a very short amount of time. It also feels awesome to provide a better quality product to our students.”

– Stanislav Kotliar, Chef

“I LIKE MY CLASSROOM BETTER than last year because it’s brighter, nicer and newer. I feel it’s a nicer spot to do my work.”

- Sam Andersen, Grade 6

GALA

In Support of the Great School, Great Boys Campaign On April 29, 2017, over 400 members of the Georgian community gathered at the Carlu in downtown Toronto to celebrate and raise money for the much-needed renovation of the school’s kitchen. As part of our Junior School Redevelopment Plan, changes to the kitchen improved the workflow by enhancing the efficiency of the space and adding new finishings and equipment. These improvements allow our chef to work with more fresh products and make more from scratch as part of a fresh, wholesome approach to cooking and eating. The success of the event was made possible through generous contributions from our community and sponsors.

A Message from the President of the Georgian Parents’ Guild

I

The Georgian Parents’ Guild is a volunteer association dedicated to supporting the academic, social, physical and spiritual environment of the students in the school, in partnership with the Headmaster and the school community.

t was such a privilege to serve as president of the Georgian Parents’ Guild for 2016-17. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to work with the parents and staff community at RSGC. This is one fantastic school our boys attend!

The 2016-2017 school year was a successful one for our Guild, thanks to the dedicated efforts of almost 200 volunteers who committed their time, energy, enthusiasm and talents to support RSGC. It is impossible to measure the contribution made by the thousands of volunteer hours put in by our members. Moreover, every year, through our fundraising initiatives, we are also able to provide significant financial assistance to the school. For 2016-17, we are proud to have made our second of six pledged annual $50,000 contributions towards the College’s Great School, Great Boys Campaign, as well as an annual $15,000 contribution to the Bursary fund.

I am truly grateful for the commitment of our parent volunteers. A great big thank you! It is with the volunteers’ enthusiasm and drive that we supported RSGC in many ways. I hope to see both new and returning faces at one of the many wonderful events at RSGC. Sincerely,

Jasmin Von Teichman President, 2016-17
