CHAIR REPORT Dear Alumni, Parents, Benefactors, and Friends of St. Michael’s College School, The Basilian Fathers are immensely proud of the St. Michael’s College School mission, and I have known of this pride since I joined the Congregation in 1984.

Basilian education has always been a collaborative venture, whether in our schools or universities, and St. Michael’s College School is no exception. Today, collaboration with the laity in Catholic education, however, is not to be seen as grudgingly accepted, given the decline in the number of priests, sisters, and brothers working in Catholic schools. On the contrary, since the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) and particularly since the Church’s educational document, Lay Catholics in Schools: Witnesses to Faith, the Church teaches that the laity have a particular vocation to play in Catholic education, mainly to witness to what it means to live as a lay Catholic in the world, which is, after all, the vocation of most Catholics.

An integrated Catholic education is fundamentally a mysterious activity, for we are mysterious beings called to union with Christ in baptism. The witness that we offer our students through our own life of faith and how we see the world and shape it by our values and choices is utterly formative and transformative for our students, and, in ultimate educational terms, is far more important than what they learn through books and formal education.

One new collaborative Basilian initiative is the Basil Bowl. St. Michael’s comes together with its brother Basilian schools — St. Thomas High School in Houston, Texas and Detroit Catholic Central High School in Novi, Michigan — for a series of annual sports and other co-curricular events. And while sports is an integral part of a Basilian education, so too is everything else that surrounds it. The Basil Bowl celebrates this wide understanding of education.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank all of you who form the St. Michael’s College School community. Each of you, in distinct ways, supports the mission of the Basilian Fathers at St. Michael’s.

I thank the faculty and staff for their dedication to St. Michael’s. I thank the Board of Directors for their generous commitment to the school. I thank Mr. Greg Hook ’80 for his tireless work, particularly in preparing for Board meetings. I thank Mr. Greg Reeves ’73 for his academic leadership of the school as Principal. And finally, I thank Fr. Jefferson M. Thompson, CSB ’79, who as President ensures that the bright legacy of St. Michael’s College School continues to shine beyond its classrooms and corridors.

Sincerely yours,

Fr. Mario O. D’Souza, CSB Chair Board of Directors

PRESIDENT’S REPORT With your gracious goodwill, I shall begin this report where I left off last year: our students are always a blessing for us, as are you whom we gratefully count among the members of our family. With gratitude to you, our bursary programme continues to support students who would otherwise not be members of our family. Your loving and faithful generosity in support of St. Michael’s College School ensures that we remain the rock upon which our students build the foundation for their lives.

Some perspectives may perceive that the Tower is dwarfed by high-rise edifices in our neighbourhood, but we in the St. Michael’s family know with certainty that it rises tall on this rock at Bathurst and St. Clair, and that it rises strong on this firm foundation upon which our students and alumni have built lives of faith, character, and service. Our students are always the lifeblood of the school, pulsing through every space left open by yellow bricks, never allowing a spare or quiet moment to pass without filling it with their exuberance and charm. Our alumni of all ages and generations are involved in many dimensions of school life, returning for visits and reunions, and organizing a variety of activities in support of the school. Indeed, St. Michael’s benefits from increasing opportunities for students and alumni to meet and learn from each other.

The Basil Bowl programme is bringing together more and more often the three brother Basilian high schools in North America – St. Michael’s College School (1852), St. Thomas High School (1900) in Houston, Texas, and Detroit Catholic Central High School (1928) in Novi, Michigan. Through the competition and fun of athletics, robotics, and music… so far, students, teachers, and coaches in Basilian Catholic education who share the same inspiring motto, mission, and vision, are strengthening their bonds of brotherhood, while meeting and learning from each other’s different cultures and experiences.

By the end of the school year, we were wishing fond farewells to three members of the St. Michael’s community who had, in their respective roles and responsibilities, filled the school with life and learning. Fr. Andrew Leung, CSB, physics teacher and Director of Spiritual Life, was appointed by the Basilian Fathers General Council to assume the pastorship of two parishes in Edmonton.

Mr. Greg Paolini retired from a fruitful career as teacher, coach, and Director of Admissions. Mr. Paul Pietrkiewicz retired after many distinguished years as head of the Music Department, an essential member of the drama programme, and the impresario of all pomp and ceremony at St. Michael’s. With many heartfelt thanks to these devoted men, our souls are rejoicing in prayer, our halls are teeming with young life, and our ears are ringing with the sound of music.

The Board of Directors of St. Michael’s College School now consists of seven members. Chaired by Fr. Mario D’Souza, CSB, it includes Fr. Patrick Fulton, CSB, Fr. Dennis Noelke, CSB, Fr. Norman Tanck, CSB, Mr. Nick Di Donato ’76, Mr. Michael Forsayeth ’73, and Ms. Nina Perfetto. Both Nick and Nina are the proud parents of two St. Michael’s alumni each. St. Michael’s College School and the Basilian Fathers are grateful and indebted to these Directors for the outstanding experience and expertise that they offer the school with their service, and for the love with which they support the school’s governance, direction, and development.

On any school day, and indeed on most evenings and weekends too, the hub of activity at 1515 Bathurst Street is an eloquent testament to the education and formation of our students in the tradition of the Basilian Fathers: minds, bodies, and souls always growing, developing, and strengthening here, as we all teach and learn goodness, discipline, and knowledge, so that the face of Jesus Christ may shine ever more brightly in our world.

Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

St. Michael, pray for us.

Fr. Jefferson M. Thompson, CSB ’79 President

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT The annual report provides a great opportunity to reflect, consider, and review the year with an eye on the direction for next year.

As a returning alumnus, becoming the Principal of St. Michael’s College School, it was very impressive to see how far the school has progressed over the years.

St. Michael’s College School has a great tradition and very impressive alumni that spans the globe. The exemplary reputation of the school remains strong within our local community as well as the broader communities. Each class continues to build on existing traditions and are intent on having their legacy be part of history of St. Michael’s.

The Class of f 2016 was no exception. Their contributions to the school and their service to the community was outstanding. The boys in the school are continually trying to grasp the concept of our motto, “Teach me Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge.” In doing so they developed in mind, body, and spirit culminating in the Grade 12 graduation ceremony where we saw, “St. Michael’s Men,” moving on to change the world through lives of faith, character, and service.

For this transformation to take place it does take, “a whole village to raise a child.” We believe the parents are the first educators of their children, and we take the trust you have given, us very seriously, the opportunity to assist in your son’s development.

The scholastic programme at St. Michael’s College School is second to none. The curriculum the students are taught is the Ontario Curriculum and follows the guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education. This year, the school was inspected by the government officials and was given a very impressive report on the implementation of the Ontario Curriculum. Our graduation rate continues to be close to 100% and even more impressive are the university programmes the students are being admitted to, not only in Canada, but internationally as well.

A comprehensive review of the curriculum took place this year led by the Department Heads. As different departments took stock, they reviewed achievements, retention, expansion, and needs of students and university expectations. The result was some programmes were altered, renewed, and expanded to meet 21st century expectations and skills.

The spiritual development of the students is paramount at St. Michael’s. Fr. Andrew Leung, CSB, our Spiritual Director, along with Fr. John Malo, CSB ‘66, our Director of Pastoral Care, and the Religion Department continued to ensure the boys not only understand our Basilian roots, but the story and tradition of our Church as well as encouraging the boys deepen their faith in their personal lives. The Parents’ Association and our Alumni continue to support the school in many ways. Again our Parents’ Association through the fundraising of the “Fashion Show” contributed to all the curriculum areas of the school. This included guest speakers, equipment, along with the expansion and diversity of clubs and activities. The Alumni Association continued to support, career day, mentorship, and special events.

The faculty and staff of St. Michael’s are professional, highly trained and dedicated to ensuring our students receive the best education that can be offered. The passion extends well beyond the classroom walls, to the chapel, halls, cafeteria, library, fields, courts, theatre, and arena. The expansive programmes offered at St. Michael’s College School provide many other opportunities to learn human relation skills, communication skills, collaboration, and innovation. It is an opportunity to create and live dreams, as well as create new dreams. Our students will develop some resiliency skills as well as have an optimism and hope for the future.

I am both proud and humbled to principal such a fantastic school. Fr. Thompson, CSB, our President, has very high expectations for all staff and cares very deeply about our students, parents, and community. St. Michael’s is well positioned to continue to be the leader in Catholic boys’ education with a focus on university preparation.

Sincerely,

Mr. Greg Reeves, ’73 Principal

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL 2016 FROM THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER’S OFFICE For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the School’s Current Fund had a deficit of $122,210 from operations as compared to the previous year of $212,189. It should be noted that this loss was reduced by a contribution of $690,000 from the St. Michael’s College High School Foundation, as well as a net $307,261 from investments, rental revenue, and from unrealized losses on investments. The net result was an overall surplus for the School’s Current Fund for the year of $875,051 as compared to a surplus of $557,433 for 2015.

The Restricted Funds (Building and Scholarships) had an operating surplus of $903,862 down from last year’s surplus of $1,086,180. Although gains on sales of investments and investment income were up, the school had to take a significant allowance for investments at fair market value of $401,052 adjustment compared to a small gain of $19,267 in 2015.

Capital spending continues at traditional levels of approximately $1,000,000 annually. The major capital expenditure for 2016 was the new running track. Capital spending for fiscal 2016-17 is projected to be flat at the $1,000,000 level. The school will be looking to revamp its athletic and co-curricular facilities in the coming years. More details will follow shortly.

Overall cash flow increased during the year by $753,607. The Current Fund deficit for fiscal 2015 of $1,141,356 now stands as a surplus of $985,714.

Williams & Partners, Chartered Professional Accountants LLP, have audited these financial statements and they have expressed an unqualified opinion on the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Enrolment levels for 2016-17 will be up slightly from 2015-2016. The school recognizes how competitive the private school market has become and as such the Administration has started to reorganize the Office of Admissions.

The overall school financial position continues to be stable. It is incumbent on the School to continue to be fiscally responsible in setting tuition fees, generating additional revenues, and controlling its costs to ensure the viability of the school for years to come.

To this end, the School will soon be reviewing its capital assets requirements for the next 20 years and anticipates starting another Capital Campaign in 2017.

Thank you all for your support.

Yours truly,

Mr. Greg Hook ’80 Chief Operating Officer

SPIRITUAL LIFE The motto of the school is the motto of the Basilian Fathers, “Teach Me Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge.” This is the prayer of the young scholar in search of his personal integrity. St. Michael’s promises that gift to each student who enters sincerely into this community of scholarship and Church.

The director of spiritual life works in close collaboration with the school community to enhance the sacramental celebrations, offer retreat experiences, and foster an understanding of the importance of social outreach. We search for ways to live out our Catholic faith in the world and to bring God’s boundless love to all we meet.

A key role in the office of spiritual life is to provide students with counselling surrounding issues of faith, life issues, and crises.

The Basilian Fathers direct students to other resources available in the community, when professional counselling is required. Part of the spiritual life programme is to respond to crisis situations that impact the school community or individuals within it. Response can consist of prayer, prayer services, referral to social agencies or services, support groups, to mention a few.

St. Michael’s College School has a beautifully restored chapel. It is a sacred space in the school used for daily Masses, and prayer services, for quiet reflection, and for fellowship. Prayer is an integral part of the life of St. Michael’s. As a faith community we support each other through prayer, in both times of sadness and joy. We also pray for the needs of others; in our families, community and our world.

We gather as a faith community at various times throughout the year. We celebrate school-wide Masses for the feast of St. Michael’s, Advent, and year-end. We also have special liturgies such as celebrations of service, distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday, and a memorial service on Remembrance Day. Parents and alumni are welcome to attend all the daily Masses and liturgies.

The school is guided by the Catholic social teachings that helping the poor and the lowly is a duty in our mission to be Christ’s body in the world. We support a wide range of charities and organizations, from local to global.

Blessings,

Fr. Andrew Leung, CSB Director of Spiritual Life

CO-CURRICULAR HIGHLIGHTS ANIME Moderator: Mr. Calvin Cahatol The SMCS Anime club is one of the largest clubs in the school, comprised of members from every grade. Students gather together after school every Thursday to watch contemporary and classic Japanese animation shows. On special occasions the boys would also play video games or play tournaments. Moderators Michael Mudrinic, Connor McNamee, and Carsten von Wersebe did an excellent job of selecting and recording anime shows that were both popular and lesser known in order to introduce students to the wide varieties of genres within the subculture. The end of year event, the Anime North anime convention was well attended by about 20 students from the school. Mina-san, ganbatte kudasai!

ASIAN ASSOCIATION Moderator: Mr. Calvin Cahatol The Asian Association promotes Asian cultures at the school.

Some restaurant highlights are: all you can eat Japanese Sushi, Cantonese Dim Sum, Korean BBQ, and Vietnamese Pho. The events were well attended by students of all grade levels.

The Duke of Edinburgh award programme has aided my personal growth and was a significant part of my high school career. – Joseph Rossi ‘16 Duke of Ed has allowed me to experience things I’ve never seen myself experiencing before. Many skills are involved and are developed throughout this program. This program allows you to make new friends, find new interests. The Duke of Edinburgh program has been a tough commitment throughout my whole high school career but I can gladly say I have completed all three awards. – Daniel Bancheri ’16.

The Debate Club met regularly on Mondays after school in room 122 with moderators Mr. Mancuso and Mr. Vella.

Students engaged in impromptu debates which focused on building skills like: how to ask a point of information, how to signpost an argument and how not to “burn the turf” in a British Parliamentary debate.

In October, Chedi Mbaga attended the National Debating Seminar in Victoria, British Columbia as one of the Ontario delegates for the Ontario Student Debating Union.

MILK BAG MAT CLUB Moderator: Mr. Mario DePiero The Milk Bag Mat club had a fantastic year producing more mats than any previous year.

The club would like to thank President Joseph Narducci for his support and leadership.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS Moderator: Mr. Giancarlo Mazzanti During the 2015-2016 Model United Nations season, the SMCS Model UN team enjoyed an increased membership as well as an improvement in the skills of the delegates.

Other conferences attended include the University of Toronto MUN and McMaster's MUN. It can be stated with some level of satisfaction that every student in the club has honed their ability to articulate their thoughts and engage in free and rational debate.

PEER TUTORING Moderator: Ms. Gail O’Grady This year the SMCS Peer Tutoring Programme brought together students possessing expertise in many different subjects along with students who needed assistance and mentorship.

SERVICE TRIP Moderators: Ms. Gail O’Grady and Mr. Calvin Cahatol During the March Break, 17 students from St. Michael’s College School and 12 from Holy Name of Mary College School, embarked on an exciting Me to We international volunteer experience to Nicaragua. Our students had the opportunity to travel to El Trapiche and play an active role in building stairs made out of recycled tires which was part of a clean water/sanitation project.

Every day of our trip was made up of a combination of volunteer work, unique cultural experiences, and interactive leadership skill building sessions. A few highlights of our trip included - San Juan de Oriente pottery workshop (including an opportunity to try making a clay pot), swam in the Laguna de Apoyo – volcanic crater filled with fresh water, visited a fair trade coffee plantation on top of a volcano and explored Granada one of the oldest cities in Nicaragua. This trip provided our students with first-hand access to global development opportunities and so much more!

The 30 young men involved showed their dedication to the productions. They came early to setup the equipment, produced a top tier broadcast and then tirelessly packed up the equipment long after the rest of the school was back in class. Working with broadcast quality equipment and their experiences and work ethic required to "do the job" will do them well during and after their time at St. Mike's.

STAGE CREW Moderators: Ms. Kim Gravel and Mr. Sterling Bogie The SMCS Stage Crew is a group of dedicated students who help execute stage productions in the Centre for the Arts, as well as assist with various lectures and events at the school.

The stage crew is integral to ensuring that the Open Houses, Welcome Days, the Christmas and Spring Concerts run smoothly. From Stage Management to Running Crew, all members came together as a well-oiled machine for the successful completion of several events.

VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS Moderator: Mr. John Walsh ’73 Tower Media has completed its eighth successful year, delivering school news daily to the entire St. Michael’s community through the format of a newsroom broadcast. Through the implementation of new technology, the program has evolved into an integral part of daily life at our school. Announcements can also be viewed via the school’s website. Tower Media is another example of a team that is truly more than the sum of its parts.

ST. MICHAEL’S COLLEGE SCHOOL 2015~2016 ANNUAL REPORT

U14 CROSS-COUNTRY Coach: Mr. Jim Byrne The U14 Cross Country team had a very successful season. Made up of a strong mix of Grade 7 and 8 students. The Grade 7 boys captured their second consecutive CISAA title led by Oscar Roy, Oscar Feschuk, Ben Hirasawa, and Frederick McRae. The Grade 8's also captured the CISAA title for the 5th consecutive year with top ten finishes by Connor Pribaz, Ryan Alexander, and Ethan Bourdas.

MVP : Connor Pribaz ’20 VARSITY CROSS-COUNTRY Coaches: Mr. Paul Barry ’73, Mr. Frank Bergin, Mr. Paul Fitzpatrick ’95, Mr. Stephen Antolin ’05, Mr. George Shust The Blue Harriers had a successful season winning most of their invitational meets ahead of hundreds of other Ontario schools. At the CISAA Championships, despite a major storm, the team swept all three age division titles. In the last 37 years, St. Michael’s has won a total of 97 of a possible 111 TDCAA or CISAA age division championships. No other school has won more than three. In the Overall Championship, the Blue Harriers won their 37th consecutive league title, a streak going back to 1979. This is most likely the longest league winning streak of any school in Canadian high school history.

At the OFSAA Championships the Jr. and Varsity teams both managed respectable middle of the pack finishes. The Midget team of Ben Fox ’19, Brandon Raftis ’19, Julian Mirijello ’19, John MacLellan ’19, Jakub Bembenek ’19, and Alessandro Adorante ’19 captured the team gold medal. This was the 21st provincial team title won by the Blue Harriers, the most won by any school in the history of OFSAA Cross Country.

MVPs: Midget Ben Fox ’19 and Brandon Raftis ’19 | Jr. Aedan Rourke ’18 and Brendan Ross ’10 | Varsity Alexander Bimm ’16 JUNIOR FOOTBALL Coaches: Mr. Frank Ribarich, Mr. Jason Smith The Jr. Kerry Blues season started and finished with enthusiasm, excitement and a truly amazing group of student athletes. During the regular CISAA season the offence consistently scored multiple touchdowns while the defense continued to shut down the other teams, ensuring every game was won by over 40 points. At practice in addition to learning the offensive and defensive playbooks, everyone had the opportunity to learn what a Scottish mile was and what running the four quarters felt like. Although this was difficult, the team persevered through this training to demonstrate what they had learned on the field. After winning the CISSA final against Trinity College School 45 - 0 it was time to challenge the other conference champions on the way to the Jr. Metrobowl; the Jr. Kerry Blues did not disappoint. Beating the other conference champions one by one the season culminated in a test for the team against Nelson High School from Burlington. Although Nelson had an excellent team, (also having beaten numerous conference champions), St. Mike's was victorious by a score of 38 - 7 winning the Jr. Metrobowl with a season record of 11-0.

Offensive MVP: Jaden Bailey ’18 Defensive MVP: Tayo Smith ’18 VARSITY FOOTBALL Coaches: Mr. Frank Trentadue ’84, Mr. Kevin Shaughnessy ’00, Mr. Michael Ross ’86, Mr. Dan Lumsden ’96 The 2015 edition of the Varsity Kerry Blues football season began with much anticipation. A season to remember was highlighted by a trip to Saline, Michigan to take on the 2014 Michigan State Champions. Playing their best game of the season, the Kerry Blues had a 14-13 lead midway through the 2nd quarter. The following week saw the Kerry Blues travel to Detroit, Michigan to take on brother Basilian School, Detroit Catholic Central. Most memorable was the trip to Houston, Texas, to participate in the 2nd annual Basil Bowl versus fellow Basilian School, St. Thomas Aquinas High School. In a fantastic demonstration of true brotherhood, the two teams played hard but most importantly were able to experience a cross border demonstration of goodness, discipline, and knowledge.

Returning to Canada, the Kerry Blues initiated the first ever rivalry game billed as the Battle of the Blues versus UCC at Varsity Stadium in downtown Toronto. In CISAA action, the Kerry Blues struggled to get a win but during the final game of the season and on the final play of the game, the Kerry Blues were finally able to come out victorious avenging the previous week’s loss at the inaugural Battle of Blues game versus UCC. MVP Jaeden Washington ’16 Fr. Daniel Zorzi, CSB Football Scholarship - Andrew Cervi ’16 The scholarship was created in April 2013 by the Toronto Jr. Argonauts to honour Fr. Zorzi’s assistance and support in creating the Toronto Jr. Argonaut football programme. Fr. Daniel Zorzi, CSB was President of St. Michael’s College School from 2000 to 2005.

This year’s award winner is Andrew Cervi ’16 - Andrew is a four year member of the Kerry Blues football programme as well as a five year member of the Toronto Jr. Argonauts. He has grown to be a leader among his line mates and he was a captain of the Varsity Kerry Blues. Always determined to contribute to the team, he let very little stand in the way of his participation. A real student of the game, he could usually be found helping to coach his teammates. He exemplifies a dedication to academics, faith, school spirit, and athletics.

He embodies the Basilian tradition of an educated well-rounded person. Andrew will continue his studies at Western University where he will study Medical Sciences.

Fr. Enright Award – John Dickson ’16 From Grade 12 walk-on, to Special Forces standout, to Starting Defense, John Dickson is truly a most deserving recipient of the Fr. Enright Award. In his first and only year as a Kerry Blues player, John consistently demonstrated the drive, determination and fighting spirit of the Kerry Blues. On the opening day of training camp, he immediately won the attention of the coaching staff with his speed, hustle, determination, and physical play. John was often called upon to contribute to the team in all aspects of the game. He assumed several key positions in the “special forces” units, played both Defensive Back and Linebacker on Defense, and was a situational Running Back on Offense. John generated some of the most memorable and positive plays this season, including, but not limited to, his bone crushing, highlight reel hit at DCC, as well as leading the team in tackles in the inaugural Battle of the Blues game vs. UCC where he single handedly shut down their run game on his side of the field. John is an excellent leader who continually inspired and encouraged his teammates and coaches with his hard work, dedication, and spirited enthusiasm.

Bill O’Connor - Linesman of the Year - Cody Dunn ’16 This year’s Varsity Kerry Blues featured several outstanding offensive and defensive linemen so selecting one as the outstanding lineman of the year was a difficult task. This year’s recipient was the anchor of the offensive line and was frequently called upon to bolster the defensive line as well. Strong, quick, tough and dedicated – this young man was a real leader on and off the field.

He will be taking his talents to McGill University next year. The St. Michael’s Varsity Kerry Blues are proud to name Cody Dunn ’16 as this year’s Bill O’Connor Award for Lineman of the Year.

ULTIMATE FRISBEE Coach: Ms. Erin Hogan With the talent and skilled effort of this year’s co-ed Ultimate Frisbee team with Bishop Strachan School, the winning stats were: 3-1 at the early bird tournament held at Lamport Stadium, 4-2 finish at Cawthra Secondary School and 3rd place finish in the division.

JUNIOR GOLF Coaches: Mr. Michael Ross ’86, Mr. Paul Ruta, Mr. Nunzio Corrente This year’s Jr. team had a successful season, winning the first four tournaments of the season. They unfortunately faltered in the CISAA Championship tournament and could not defend their title.

MVP: Jack McBain ’19 VARSITY GOLF Coaches: Mr. Michael Ross ’86, Mr. Paul Ruta, Mr. Nunzio Corrente The Varsity team dominated all year, winning three of the first four tournaments, before crushing the opposition in the CISAA Championship.

Rochon dominated all season, winning all four stroke-play CISAA tournaments as well as the Corrente Cup Match Play event.

MVP: Connor Rochon ’17 U14 HOCKEY TEAM BLUE Coaches: Mr. Darryl Giancola, Mr. Matt Pagano ’92, Mr. Stephen Antonlin ’05 The U14 Team Blue enjoyed an undefeated regular season and went on to win their 3rd consecutive CISAA Championships.

In the finals, Team Blue faced classmates U14 Team White in another epic game that helped the friendly rivalry grow. The team had a fantastic group of athletes who regularly woke up early to be on the ice by 7 a.m., and always led veteran goalie Selby Warren ’20. Selby never missed a team event and leaves the U14 age level as the only starting goalie to play in and win, two championships in both his U14 eligible years.

MVP: Selby Warren ’20 U14 HOCKEY TEAM WHITE Coaches: Mr. John Walsh ’73, Mr. Enzo Carcasole, Ms. Natalie Garbutt The U14 Team White had an exciting year! Throughout the season, the boys came together and grew as a team, contributing to their overall success! The team was led by two outstanding goaltenders, Oscar Carsley ’20 and Ethan Bourdos ’20, who never cracked under pressure. During the season, the team represented St. Mike's honourably, both on and off the ice. In the CISAA semi-finals the team played their strongest and most exciting game of the season, taking Crescent School into overtime and beating them in a nerve-racking shootout! In spite of their best efforts, Team White lost to Team Blue in the CISAA Final.

MVP: Cameron Essensa ’21 JUNIOR HOCKEY Coaches: Mr. Darryl Giancola, Mr. Matt Pagano ’92, Mr. Stephen Antolin ’05 This marked another successful season for the Jr. Double Blues hockey team. The team had only a few returning veterans and would depend on a solid core of new players. After a strong start to the season, the team captured the championship in our own Invitational tournament in January with a thrilling 2-1 win over St. Andrew’s. While there were a few bumps during the regular season, the team managed to secure a second place finish and took on UCC in the semi-finals. Throughout the season, the team became known as the “comeback kids” due to their tendency to spot their opponents a lead before battling back in the dying seconds of the game.

This trend continued in the playoffs as the team found themselves down 5-1 to UCC before pulling out a 6-5 overtime win, and down 3-1 to St. Andrew’s in the final before winning 4-3. This marks the third straight CISAA championship for the Double Blues. The team also managed to advance to the semi-finals of the All Canadian Jr. Classic tournament.

MVPs: Nicholas Zabaneh ’19 and Akil Thomas ’17 VARSITY HOCKEY Coach: Mr. Francesco Bazzocchi ’83 This year, the St. Michael’s Majors faced their share of adversity. The team battled injuries, a short bench, and a grueling schedule playing in both the CISAA and MPHL (Mid-West Prep Hockey League). This however, did not dampen the team’s spirit despite the win loss column. The team was able to display great tenacity throughout the season by providing exciting offense having four of its players’ finish in the top ten in scoring and this combined with great team defense proved to be a great season.

MVP: Nicholas Salamon ’16 20 /

U14 LACROSSE Coaches: Mr. David Lee ’95, Mr. James Byrne The U14 Lacrosse team had a very successful year going undefeated in the regular season and winning the Everest Academy Tournament. Unfortunately, they ran into some tough competition in the CISAA final and lost in a close game.

The team was composed of predominantly Grade 9 student-athletes, with only six Grade 10s to round out the roster. Season highlights include: outscoring the opponents 161 - 68 throughout the entire season; a triumphant undefeated record in the state of New York; a most impressive victory in the St. Andrew’s JV Tournament; and a victorious finish to the season by winning the Aurora JV Showcase Tournament .

MVP: Jackson Raposo ’19 VARSITY LACROSSE Coaches: Mr. Alex Frescura ’92, Mr. Angus Dineley ’03, Mr. Matt Pagano ’92 Graduating 11 varsity players from the 2014/15 OFSAA Gold medal team, the question going into the 2015/16 season was whether St. Michael’s would be able to sustain their level of success with an entirely new defensive core. With a solid contingent of returning offensive players, and a new infusion of talent from the JV programme, the team looked to challenge themselves with a difficult schedule en route to hopeful success at June’s OFSAA Championships.

The squad responded to the challenge, posting a 29-5 record and winning the: • The Brockport College Invitational, New York • The Jammer Classic • The Double Blue Invitational • The Ontario All-Catholic Classic After a disappointing loss in the CISAA final, the boys rebounded at OFSAA with a strong run through their pool and tourney semi-final.

MVPs: Keaton Thomson ’16 and Jonathan Donville ’16 JR. RUGBY Coaches: Mr. Lafaele Taua, Fr. John Malo, CSB ’66 The Jr. Rugby team had a season full of hard work, learning, and camaraderie. The team came together well while snow was still on the ground. Although, the team suffered some significant injuries at the start, they did well in the pre-season, winning some matches through good ball movement and team work. The regular season, brought many opportunities for growth as we encountered more experienced teams. Although the team failed to win a game, the boys played with solidarity and more importantly, never wavered from total commitment on the field.

MVPs: Tim Hatcher ’19 and Cole Duffy ’19 SR. RUGBY Coaches: Mr. Lafaele Taua, Fr. John Malo, CSB ’66, Mr. Adrian Spagnolo ’03 The Varsity Rugby squad started off with an enthusiastic initial turnout of more than 50 St. Mike’s students. We entered formal competitive play with a strong team ready to go. The Shamrocks played in three pre-season tournaments and handily beat all seven teams, winning several tournament trophies in the process. Unfortunately, the season was not as successful due to a few injuries and strong opposition within CISAA. While the squad was not strong in the win column, they were a deeply-bonded team throughout.

MVPs: Tristan Stephen ’16 and Aidan Ross ’16 U14 SKIING Coaches: Mr. Jamie Oatt, Mr. Enzo Carcasole 2016 was an incredibly successful year for the SMCS Alpine Ski team.

U14 SOCCER Coaches: Mr. Frank Heijmans, Dr. Robert Fantill ’94 The 2015-16 season saw the St. Michael’s Azzuri struggle through the regular season trying to find its stride. In the semi-finals, the U14 Azzuri played a spectacular game battling UCC to a tie game at the end of regulation time. Five minutes into extra time, George Vasilakakos ’21 found the back of the net with a strike from outside the 18 yard box which to create the highlight of the season.

This momentum carried forward to the championship game versus Crescent where St. Michael’s had a 1-0 lead early in the game and played a strong defensive position through to the final minutes when the Azzuri got an insurance goal to seal the win and defeat Crescent on their home turf. The boys truly came through to beat the odds at each opportunity.

MVP: Massimiliano Sellitto ’20

At the Grade 8 level the team was dominant in all track events. Connor Pribaz ’20 won the 1500 and 800 meter events, Matthew Markson ’20 finished in the top five in all five events he competed in and Riley Doig ’20 finished no lower then second place in all five of the events he competed in.

In late November, the team travelled to Texas for three games including a first ever encounter with our brother school St. Thomas. The Azzurri showed well by winning all three games! During the spring the team prepared for OFSAA and went into the June tournament with high hopes.

Unfortunately, the team fell short but gained some valuable experience for next year.

MVPs: Kevin Kabongo ‘16 and Antonio Tyler Terceros-Downy ’16 U14 SOFTBALL Coaches: Mr. PJ Miller, Mr. John Toffoli The U14 Softball team cruised through the regular season compiling a 6-0 record and capturing first place in the division.

This capped off an undefeated season.

MVPs: Ewan Fergson ’21 and Benjamin Bartkiw ’20

U14 VOLLEYBALL Coaches: Mr. Sean Stokes, Mr. PJ Miller, Mr. Kevin Toste This year’s U14 Volleyball team began with an demoralizing loss to Bayview Glen who boasted several club players. It is a credit to the boys, that they battled back to win their next four games before losing to UCC. They showed similar character in upsetting UCC in the Semi-Finals before succumbing once again to Bayview Glen.

MVP: Riley Doig ’20 JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL Coach: Mr. David Fischer After dropping their first game of the season, the Jr. Strikers never lost a CISAA match. A potent mix of veterans and rookies ensured that they won their semi-final match against SAC in straight sets.

MVP: Michael McKenna ’18 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL Coach: Mr. Alain Arseneau The Varsity Strikers started out their season with a win at the Waterloo Classic, a first for the programme. They then completed an undefeated CISAA league schedule capping it off with a tenth consecutive CISAA league championship victory. Winning the Uxbridge tournament right before OFSAA gave the squad great momentum. A slow start at the provincial championships would have the Strikers face off against the number one seed of the tournament in the quarters. After winning against Oakridge in convincing fashion and advancing to the semis, the Strikers would lose a tough five set match to Mississauga Secondary. Displaying strong character, the team bounced back to capture the Bronze defeating Regiopolis 3-0. For the first time ever, the team graduates three of six starters who will be playing at the university level next year.

MVP: Taryq Sani ’16 THE FR. MOHAN AWARD – GRADES 7 AND 8 ATHLETE OF THE YEAR The Grade 8 athlete of the year and recipient of the Fr.

The Grade 7 and 8 Athlete of the Year is Riley Doig ’20.

SWIMMING Coach: Mr. Larry La Gamba ’05 This year, the St. Michael’s Blue Sharks did not fail to live up to their reputation as some of the oceans’ most feared predators. With some new additions to the team and an overpowering sense of teamwork and spirit, the Sharks managed to stay ahead of last year’s times, improving consistently across the squad. Despite the lack of OFSAA qualifications at the Varsity level, the season was a success in developing the skills of all members of the team, with an extraordinary effort put forth by all during both practices and meets. If the team continues to improve at the rate it has this past season, OFSAA-qualifying times will definitely be a tangible goal this next season.

MVP: Charlie Drysdale ’17

MARC SANTI AWARD The award of graduating athlete who combines sportsmanship and school spirit goes to Jonathan Donville ’16. Jonathan has been part of the Blue Gaels Lacrosse programme for the past six years – starting in Grade 7 as a member of the U14 Blue Gaels.

For the past four years, Jonathan has been an integral member of the Varsity team and a team captain during his Grades 11 and 12 years. Despite a lingering leg injury, Jonathan led the team a couple of weeks ago to their second consecutive OFSAA gold medal. Jonathan’s skill level and understanding of the game have made him one of the top offensive threats in the country.

This was made evident when Jonathan, as a seventeen-year-old, was asked to represent the country as a member of the Canadian U19 Lacrosse team at this summer’s world championship. Jonathan’s on and off field leadership will be missed, but he has left a lasting legacy. Jonathan will continue playing and pursuing his studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

VARSITY TENNIS Coach: Mr. Calvin Cahatol St. Michael's Varsity Tennis was very strong this year. The singles players of Matthew Ross ’17, Jack Sarabia ’19, and Oscar Roy ’21 were extremely successful through league play. Doubles players comprised of a mixture of Jeffrey Chong ’16, Timothy Killeen ’16, Nolan O'Shea ‘16, Patrick Romain ’17, Tyler D'Silva ’17, and Jack Reford ’19 won more often than not. The team finished off league play with an excellent record of 5-1. At CISAA finals they finished 5th.

MVP: Matthew Ross ’17

FR. MALLON TROPHY This year's Fr. Mallon Trophy winner truly embodies what it means to be a student-athlete, demonstrating the discipline and dedication needed to excel in the arena, on the field, and in the classroom. A six-year contributor to both the hockey and lacrosse programmes at St. Mike's, he consistently improved his own game and that of his teammates, all the while maintaining a truly impressive academic record. He graduates a two-time OFSAA lacrosse champion, a stalwart defenceman for the St. Michael’s Buzzers, and will continue his laudable academic and athletic journey at Princeton University where he has committed to play hockey for the Tigers in 2017. Congratulations to this year's winner: Mark Paolini. ’16

ARTS MUSIC

DRAMA FALL DRAMA SMCS Drama had a very successful run of Arthur Miller’s play "The Crucible". This Tony Award winning dramatization of the Salem witch trials was presented for four evenings in November.

SENIOR CONCERT BAND trip to Florida and the Bahamas took the band to the cities of Orlando and Nassau. In addition to performing at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, the band took a cruise to the Bahamas and participated in the “Rock The Boat” music festival held aboard the Carnival cruise ship “Victory”. The band also had a recording session workshop in the Walt Disney World studios where they recorded the band arrangement of part of the soundtrack from the animated movie “Fantasia”. Other highlights of the trip were the Polynesian Luau Dinner and an excursion to Blue Lagoon Island.

SPRING MUSICAL The Broadway musical "Oklahoma" was a huge success. The students’ presentation of this classic Broadway show wowed the audiences for each of the seven performances that were given in April. In addition to the amazing work by the cast and crew, this show continued the new standard for set design as it incorporated “flying” one of the sets in and out for the audience to see using the theatre’s state-of-the-art systems.

Grade 9/10 Band trip to New York City included a performance en route at Dennis Morris High School in St. Catharines, Ontario.

In the upstate New York area they performed at Moravia District High School. Their final performance was at Elizabeth High School in New Jersey. The music directors at all of these schools were either former students or teachers of Mr. Douglas or Mr. Oatt. Members of the choir from Holy Name of Mary College School also went on the trip and performed with the band. While in the city of New York the whole group attended a Yankees game, visited One World Observatory, took a harbor cruise, and attended a Broadway performance of “Get On Your Feet”.

VISUAL ARTS

THE FESTIVAL WINDS had another successful year as the intermediate competitive musical group of the school. In addition to their participation at the annual Christmas Concert in November they also performed their own special Christmas concert for the local elementary schools hosted in the St. Michael’s Centre for the Arts and at the newly revived “Christmas In The Courtyard”. In early March they travelled to London where they competed in the annual Musicfest Canada Ontario Regional Music Festival and received a “Silver Plus” rating from the adjudicators.

SENIOR JAZZ ENSEMBLE “BIG BLUE” also competed at the Musicfest Canada Ontario Regional Music Festival in London gaining a “Gold” rating – our fifth “Gold” in a row – for their stellar performance. The band continues to be among the finest jazz ensembles in CIS and in the province. Other school performances included the Christmas Concert, SMCS Fashion Show – A Gift of Glamour and Club Blue Note. One of their most notable performances was at the Big M Lottery where the group received many accolades on their impressive playing by the parents and visiting patrons.

SENIOR CONCERT BAND also took part in the Musicfest Canada Ontario Regional Music Festival in London receiving a “Gold” rating in the very challenging B500 class. The Senior Concert band also performed at our annual Homecoming festivities and at the newly revived “Christmas In The Courtyard”.

GRADE 8 HONOUR BAND performed at the Canada’s Wonderland Music Festival in May where they again received the highest accolades from the adjudicator.

ANNUAL BAND CONCERTS were given in November and May featuring all of our musical ensembles representing all grade levels and band categories. All of the concerts were held in the Centre for the Arts and featured the Holy Name of Mary College School Choir and our Rumba Squad as guest artists at the Christmas concert and the HNMCS Choir again at the concert in the Spring.

At the Spring Concert retiring Head of Music Mr. Paul Pietrkiewicz performed for his students and the audience. The school’s president, Fr. Thompson, and the graduating music students made a special tribute and presentation to him.

The 2015-16 school year included several hallway exhibits featuring all the visual art student’s pieces. Artworks featured various installations, paintings, drawings, sculptures and digital art.

GRADE 7 IPAD technology in the Grade 7 art classes ignited many budding artists as it introduced them to current industry technologies in the arts. Keith Haring inspired clocks, Group of Seven acrylic paintings and large scale First Nations “Morrisseau” inspired animals were once again the programme highlights.

GRADE 9 Artworks included detailed gouache “Zentangle” paintings, realistic pencil portraits, 2 point perspective cityscapes & graffiti paintings. Photoshop was introduced in the Graphic Design unit when students designed new team sports logos & jerseys. Students also had the opportunity to recreate ancient Egyptian relief carvings in “stone”.

GRADE 10 At camp Northland, students were introduced to “plein air” landscape painting, pyrography & wire art trees. A trip to the Halliburton Sculpture forest was a highlight of the week. Industrial design involved creating unique GTA bus shelters & life-sized wooden hands were created in Anatomy studies. The Skateboard & album cover unit has been the staple of the program. The Greco-Roman Classical Architecture unit had students compile their own “selfies photos” with historical landmarks in Toronto.

GRADE 11 Urban art installations inspired by current “street art” styles were found throughout the school in April. These social commentary pieces included “yarn bombing”, “Banksy spray painted stencils” and human scale packing tape people. Intricate scratchboard art and architectural blue prints were once again introduced.

GRADE 12 Senior students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of media and subject matter throughout the year. Students created famous people portraits, creative clocks, foam core buildings and mixed media figure drawings. The final summative senior art display was set up in the hallway of the main office allowing a larger population to view the student’s work. Some students have begun their “Professional“ art career by having sold some pieces. The Art History component culminated into a trip to the Art Gallery of Ontario allowing students to view famous original artworks that they have studied over the years.

CLUB BLUE NOTE was an evening celebration of live music at SMCS, featuring our renowned jazz ensemble “Big Blue” and acoustic performances by SMCS staff, the Rumba Squad, students and alumni. Our special guest this year was the Jazz Band from our brother school Catholic Central High School in Novi, Michigan. Just like a true “club”, this Friday evening event in May gives the audience the opportunity to enjoy a dinner while you listen to the variety of groups performing.

DRUMLINE began their season by hosting the Sounds of Summer Drumline Clinic in August. In addition to performances for SMCS sports teams and at the SMCS Homecoming, the Drumline also performed at four scholastic drumline competitions. At the Canadian Drumline Association Provincial Championships, hosted by SMCS in May, our Senior Drumline received the Gold Medal in Premier Class. Other performances include the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, the Brampton Santa Claus Parade and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. They again traveled to Montreal where they competed in the Quebec Drumline Championships. The Senioir Drumline’s performance in Premier Class was awarded with a Silver Medal. In January members of the Drumline competed in the Ontario Solos Competition where gold medals were awarded to St. Michael’s students in solo snare drum and small ensemble bass drum.

STUDENT SERVICES St. Michael’s College School is blessed to share in the Church’s mission of Catholic Education. As part of this mission, Student Services at St. Michael’s seeks to provide our students with the encouragement, assistance, and guidance they need for their educational journey.

On October 19, alumnus Dr. David Mulroney ’73 returned to our hallowed halls. As the recently appointed President and ViceChancellor of the University of St. Michael’s College, Mr. Mulroney addressed our Grades 11 and 12 students. Mr. Mulroney reflected upon the benefits of Basilian education, acknowledging the profound impact the Basilian commitment to Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge has had on his faith life, his family life, and his professional life in public service, most notably as Canada’s ambassador to the People’s Republic of China. He revealed that the enduring gift of a Basilian education is the constant striving to uphold the Basilian ideals in all of his pursuits, something he hoped our students would come to appreciate. With this challenge in mind, Mr. Mulroney invited the students to give serious consideration to continuing their studies at the University of St. Michael’s College to continue to reap the benefits of the Basilian Tradition.

This year our focus on positive Mental Health was reinforced with presentations from two outstanding speakers. In October, Mr. Tom Walker, MSW, spoke to our Grades 9, 10 and 11 students on the topic of alcohol and drug use and abuse. Mr. Walker is an education specialist with Ornge where his primary responsibility is developing and implementing training programs for paramedics. His presentation highlighted the reasons why youth abuse drugs and alcohol, the risks and dangers, and realistic approaches to good, healthy decision making. In addition, Mr. Walker gave a presentation for our parents, providing them an opportunity to reflect on their parenting style and offering practical strategies for helping to approach these topics with their teenagers.

In January, Dr. Greg Wells, distinguished professor, researcher, author and broadcaster presented to the student body and parents the science behind the good habits of sleeping soundly, eating smarter, moving more, and thinking clearly. Dr. Wells is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Anaesthesia and Physical Education and Health at the University of Toronto, and an associate scientist in Physiology and Experimental Medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children.

Our Guidance Department provides regular academic, personal, and social counselling. Students receive individual counselling each year to identify academic and personal goals, discern strengths and interests, set strategies for accomplishing goals, and monitor student progress. Counsellors also guide students through an extensive university application process. Last year, the Guidance Department hosted lunch time presentations featuring 56 university representatives from Ontario, across Canada, the United States, and abroad. The University Information Night for families of Grades 11 and 12 students provided an additional forum for presentations from a number of Ontario universities. In addition, the department organized Grade 9 Career Day, providing students with an experience of life in the workplace. For students experiencing particularly difficult challenges of a personal, moral, or spiritual nature, confidential counselling and direction was provided by our Director of Pastoral Care, Fr. John Malo, CSB. The Learning Enrichment Centre (LEC) provides support for students who have an identified learning exceptionality, students who have had a concussion, or students who are experiencing extended recovery from illness. This year, St. Michael’s welcomed Ms. Laura Callaghan, an experienced and enthusiastic teacher, to our LEC faculty. Ms. Callaghan, along with Ms. Hogan and Dr. Fantilli, extend LEC support to nearly 200 students with diverse learning profiles that included intellectual giftedness, attention deficit, learning disabilities, vision, hearing, anxiety and depression. In addition to hosting Student Success workshops, the centre hosted the PostSecondary Transitions Evening, an event that brought together students, parents, and community partners to explore transition supports for graduating students. One of the mainstays of the Learning Centre is its Concussion Management Protocol. With the assistance of the David L. MacIntosh Clinic, the LEC faculty develop Individual Re-Integration Plans in support of students who have experienced a concussion. This year, more than 120 students were supported through concussion recovery.

With its transformation to a vibrant 21st century teaching and learning environment, the Odette Library continues to support students by providing a comprehensive suite of research and information literacy skills. Library staff continue to teach students how to explore topics effectively by using databases and online catalogues. This year, resource circulation numbered more than 9,400 volumes.

In addition to the growing collection of print books and e-books to support the Accelerated Reader programme and research across the curriculum, staff members have added several new custom Library Guides to assist with curriculum-related research. Annual reading and literacy initiatives continue to generate significant student interest: SMCS Reads, Reading Olympics, and Battle of the Bards. The library welcomed Mr. Brandon Janssen, our new student technology service desk assistant, who will support the Grades 7 and 8 iPad initiative, digital resources for LEC students, and offer Edsby assistance for students and parents.

Student Services at St. Michael’s College School remains an integral part of the gift of a Basilian Education. With enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment, we continue to offer our students encouragement, hope, and strength.

Sincerely,

Mr. David Fischer Director of Student Services 26 /

GRADUATION REPORT The year 1998 began on a Thursday and the world as we knew it at that time in North America had suffered limited mass upheaval. The world was changing. As our sons prepared to return to school, 224 people were killed, another 4000 plus were injured in the U.S. Embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya. Certainly we recall the first World Trade Centre bombing of 1993, and the concern over the accumulation of “weapons of mass destruction” in other parts of the world. While our sons were mere infants, terror of a truly significant magnitude hit North American soil. With babes in arms, the parents of this year’s grads were tasked with mourning the horror of 9/11.

Fast forward to 2015, shortly after this year’s graduates returned from their summer vacations, and the world was forced to deal with the Paris attacks. Currently, newspapers continue to tell stories of terror in many parts of the world, on a far more consistent basis. These parts of the world are the same regions our sons will be calling home as they continue their studies at the undergraduate university, graduate, and professional levels.

So on this, the eve of their graduation, members of the Class of 2016 may want to ask why? How can this be? What are we to do? The Thursday of their graduation, the 30th day of June, 2016, 18 years from the first day of their birth year, there remain many questions.

The answers will unveil themselves in the coming years. As our 2016 graduates prepare to study Commerce, the Fine Arts, the Sciences and the Humanities, they will prepare themselves to answer the difficult questions the world has created over their brief existence. They will prepare themselves to be the agents of positive change.

Some will travel a short distance down highway 401, others will extend their trips to the coasts, and others are booking flights to California, Massachusetts, Indiana, or London, England. The majority will leave as Ontario Scholars, having achieved 80% or greater in their graduating year, fully one third as St. Thomas More Scholars, having achieved 80%on their final report card in each of their high school years and a select group will graduate as Basilian Book recipients, graduating with an academic average of 90% or greater. An impressive 19 students earned the Summa Cum Laude award, having achieved all of the above academic acclaim while also earning the prestigious St. Michaels’ M Award, representative of an exemplary co-curricular record while achieving the highest academic levels.

In each case, these men are preparing themselves to make a difference. And this, therefore, is the answer, and this is the raison d’etre for the yellow brick building at 1515 Bathurst St. Through their participation in athletics, learning the humility required for gracious victory, and the knowledge that a dignified loss is of equal value; learning in the classroom that debate and inquiry is the beginning of true understanding and knowledge; learning in the hallways, the cafeteria, the library that generosity, kindness and goodness are the seeds of a more decent world, these are the lessons learned at St. Michael’s that the Class of 2016 will assist in teaching others.

The answers to the questions our graduates may be pondering are in fact them, the Class of 2016. They will be the torch bearers, the lights that will shine brightly, wherever they may go, to illuminate the path for a brighter, more peaceful existence.

They must leave knowing that the task before is great, but that if their spirits become tired, if their path is littered with issue, that the doors at 1515 remain open for them tomorrow and forevermore. This is an unquestionable reality as these fine young graduates are the keys to our future.

Sincerely,

Mr. Giancarlo Mazzanti Head of Guidance

JOHN L. DEVANEY MEMORIAL BURSARY was established by the Estate of Susan Devaney, in memory of her husband, to assist a Grade 8 student who is entering SMCS for Grade 9, has a minimum 75% average, and requires financial assistance to attend St. Michael’s College School.

EDDY NARDUCCI CALCULUS BURSARY was established by Tamara and Chris Jones ’99 in honour of Eddy Narducci, an inspiration to all his former students and a mentor to Chris with his post-secondary programming. The Bursary is dedicated specifically to a student in either Grade 11 or 12 who is taking the Grade 12 Calculus course, who has a financial need, and maintains a good academic standing.

EDDY NARDUCCI MEMORIAL AWARD is presented by the teachers of St. Michael’s College School to honour the memory of Eddy Narducci, who was a founding member and a dedicated leader of the St. Michael’s College School Teachers’ Association.

The Award is presented to a graduating student, who, during his years at St. Michael’s, exemplified this same spirit of perseverance and service to others.

Special events. The St. Michael’s students are always very busy with the regular academic, co-curricular, and sporting activities.

However, the parents and alumni have been just as busy with Homecoming, Battle of the Blues, Turkey Roll & Reunion, Gift of Glamour Fashion Show, Mass and Brunch for Grades 7-11 followed by a special one for the Grade 12’s, Father-Son BBQ, Evans Tannis Alumni Soccer Showdown, Enzo Montemurro ’81 Touch Football Classic, Spring Reunion and BBQ, the Big Blue Benefit, and the Annual Golf Tournament. Every single one of these events includes the Office, but more importantly also includes the attendance of the parents and alumni, and the volunteering of the parents, alumni, and students. With so very much happening, the Office is most thankful for those that provide a donation of time. It would be difficult to host all of these events without you.

Alumni Affairs. The St. Michael’s Alumni Association is well represented by a group of gentlemen with grad years ranging from 1965 to 2015. These alumni are always available for assistance, volunteering, financial support, and advice. They truly represent the best of St. Michael’s Men. We are changing the world through lives of faith, character, and service.

Help us - consider becoming involved today!

THE ST. MICHAEL’S COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION The St. Michael’s College High School Foundation was established in June 2005 with the purpose of raising, managing, and investing funds for the benefit of the general charitable purposes carried out by St. Michael’s College School. Currently, the Foundation has assets of approximately $21.3 million. The Foundation funds encompass the Basilian Fathers endowment along with the Odette Arts Scholars Bursary Fund donation. The Foundation endeavours to grow the fund capital while contributing annually to the School’s charitable purposes. This is accomplished by having investment policies in place that will generate yearly returns in excess of 3.5% through the application of prudent investment strategies. The goal is to have the fund grow to $50+ million over time to ensure better support for the School’s charitable purposes.

Since its inception, the Foundation has financially assisted St. Michael’s through the bursary programme and for the construction of the Centre for the Arts. To date, $5.7 million has been gifted to the School. In addition, the Foundation has also provided short term loans of up to $4.5 million annually as required. Currently, there are no loans outstanding.
