Excellence Awarded The theme of this edition of “The Andrean” is Excellence Awarded. It is an appropriate topic given the outstanding report that St. Andrew’s College received from the Canadian Educational Standards Institute’s (CESI) Visiting Committee in May. The primary purpose of the CESI review was to verify the extent to which S.A.C. met the ten standards for the accreditation of schools: Purposes and Objectives; Values, Discipline and Extra-curriculum; Academic Programme; School Organization; Personnel; School and Community; Admission Procedures; Governance; Corporate Structure and Finance; and Plant and Management.

The committee of fifteen independent school educators from across Canada introduced their final report with the declaration that “St. Andrew’s is one of Canada’s great independent schools that is truly committed to its mission to nurture the development of the complete man, the well-rounded citizen.”

They were amazed that every student, parent, teacher, alumnus and Board member knew, when asked, the school’s Mission Statement. Their report stressed the leadership role that the school has taken on the national and international stage in the past five years. Strong and effective governance and the collaborative approach taken by the Leadership Team were seen to be instrumental in “elevating the school to new levels of prominence.”

The report made repeated references to the school’s “bold and inspiring strategic plan” and its ability to blend tradition with innovation. The commitment to technology, residential life, athletics and facilities improvements received high praise, as did the dedication and strong work ethic of the faculty and staff. The Middle School’s “school-within-a-school” environment was viewed as both collaborative and congenial.

The

Equally gratifying were the compliments directed toward the students. The boys’ respectful tone and behaviour; their sense of community and brotherhood; their willingness to test their limits and reveal their character; their deportment in the cadet program, pipe band, and chapel were highlighted in various sections of the report.

Most rewarding, perhaps, were two comments found in the report’s “Values, Discipline and Extra-curriculum” section: There is a distinct atmosphere about the school where courtesy, respect, dedication, and self-discipline are core values of community living.

The Visiting Committee would like to congratulate St. Andrew’s in creating an environment that has allowed the boys to become true gentlemen. Their manners, both courteous and respectful, were indeed impressive and left us with a very positive feeling.

While we are justifiably proud of the school’s stellar “report card”, we cannot rest on our laurels. No stone must be left unturned if a stronger foundation can be made for any of our school programs and activities that received less than “perfect” marks.

To that end, the Board of Directors, Headmaster and Leadership Team will continue to examine areas of school activity that need improvement and will develop strategies to achieve it.

As St. Andrew’s begins its 108th year, our commitment to excellence, so strongly identified in the CESI report, continues.

EXCELLENCE AWARDED

THE C.E.S.I. EVALUATION:

“ONE OF CANADA’S GREAT INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS... ...MARVELLOUS” C.E.S.I. – the Canadian Education Standards Institute – sends a visiting team to each independent school once every seven years to determine whether the institution deserves to be accredited.

C.E.S.I. is a regulatory body created by the independent schools themselves to ensure the highest standards among member schools.

St. Andrew’s is a founding member of the group.

November of 2005 was S.A.C.’s turn again, and when the 13-member evaluation team arrived for the intensive three-day visit, St. Andrew’s was more than ready. Work had begun 18 months earlier with staff conducting its own evaluation, one that in many ways would be much more daunting than the real thing.

Assistant Headmasters Courtenay Shrimpton and Kevin McHenry were the co-ordinators of the internal C.E.S.I. evaluation. Both had been on other C.E.S.I evaluation teams, which are comprised of faculty members and administrators from other independent schools, and noted that the S.A.C. response to the upcoming evaluation was unique. “At most schools,

EXCELLENCE AWARDED

a couple of staff co-ordinating preparations for the evaluation seem to do almost all of the work,” said Courtenay Shrimpton.

“But here, Kevin and I really were just co-ordinators.”

“We asked for volunteers to help evaluate all areas of the school the C.E.S.I. evaluation team would examine and we had no shortage of help. We had a number of teams of five or six members who did the legwork. We had staff who volunteered to write the reports, others who volunteered to edit and format it. It was a tremendous team effort. Of the one-thousand pages in our internal evaluation, Kevin and I wrote only a small fraction of them. It was a remarkable team effort and quite unusual as schools go.”

OVER THE COURSE OF 18 MONTHS, THE FACULTY SELF-EVALUATED THE SCHOOL ACCORDING TO THE 10 STANDARDS PUT FORWARD BY C.E.S.I.: – PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES

COMPLIMENTS AND CHALLENGES THE FOLLOWING ARE A SAMPLING OF STATEMENTS TAKEN FROM THE VISITING COMMITTEE REPORT TO ST. ANDREW’S COLLEGE BY C.E.S.I. IN NOVEMBER 2005. THEY PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT CROSS-SECTION OF BOTH THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE ISSUES RAISED BY THE COMMITTEE:

“The Visiting Committee has some concerns about the facilities.

The current tennis courts need resurfacing and the tennis court fencing needs to be replaced. Also, the clay track and field track needs to be upgraded, the lower fields by the creek need to be levelled and crowned. Finally, the department needs more storage space for equipment.”

– VALUES, DISCIPLINE AND EXTRA-CURRICULUM

“The sense of duty, service to others and pride in the school consistently resonates from the Board Chairman, Governors, Headmaster, staff, students and parents. It is the same pride and commitment of the alumni that is especially noteworthy and a unique strength of St. Andrew’s.”

– ACADEMIC PROGRAM – SCHOOL ORGANIZATION – PERSONNEL – SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY – ADMISSION PROCEDURES – GOVERNANCE

“The Visiting Committee wondered what opportunities there were for boys in residence to socialize with girls.”

– CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND FINANCE – PLANT AND MANAGEMENT

The process was comprehensive and relentless. “We were finished with the internal report by June, and the evaluation wasn’t until November,” says Kevin McHenry. “We were more than ready.”

“Rather than create booklets that would be given to C.E.S.I. team members, we downloaded the whole internal report onto our website. Anybody could look at it and we encouraged everybody to look at it, from faculty and staff to parents. The C.E.S.I. team received their reports from the same website.”

This report is what the C.E.S.I. evaluation team would use as the basis of its visit. They spent almost four days at the school – from Sunday to Wednesday in late November, 2005 – visiting classes, meeting students, faculty, staff and Board members,

“St. Andrew’s is blessed with a beautiful campus and excellent resources and it is in this environment that we see happy students and optimistic staff working together. There is a distinct atmosphere about the school where courtesy, respect, dedication and self-discipline are core values of community living.”

“The success of St. Andrew’s is evident in its ability to blend tradition and innovation.”

Ladies’ Guild members and others.

They listened, observed, and collected information to determine how much the internal evaluation was reflected in real practice.

Courtenay and Kevin have sat on C.E.S.I. evaluation teams at other schools and both report that it is an intense, whirlwind experience for all the team members. “It’s about as tough a three days as you’ll experience,” notes Courtenay.

“Each team member has seen the report, and each has his or her own assigned area when the team arrives at the school.

The days are long and when it’s over you’ve got reports to write.”

“Basically you visit the classes and the people you need to visit to address your assigned area. As a whole, the team tries to get into every teacher’s classroom.

Some teachers are surprised that after all the preparation they’ve done, a team member might be in and out of their class in a few minutes. But team members pick

up on the overall pattern in the school quickly, and they know right away that a class is in fact another cog in the pattern of excellence they’ve seen all day.”

Notes Kevin: “If one or more team member is spending a lot of time in your area, then you have a big problem.

Fortunately, we had no such major concerns.”

To say that the overall tenor of the final report was positive would be an understatement. “There were no shocking findings,” says Kevin. “In fact, the only surprise was the almost embarrassingly positive nature of the report. There were some suggestions for improvements, but no major difficulties.”

“The overall impression is that first of all it’s a marvellous school, fully in line with its mission statement. Everyone here understands what St. Andrew’s is supposed to be, and it is in fact achieving its mission fully. The Committee was very enthusiastic about the energy in the place, not only from students, but from faculty. They were impressed by how committed everyone is, from maintenance staff to the student body, to faculty.” COURTENAY SHRIMPTON

“As is the case with all student leadership programs, there are some areas of concern. The communication between the Middle School and the Upper School is one potential for improvement, as the Prefects felt there was minimum involvement with the Middle School.”

“The Visiting Committee would like to congratulate St. Andrew’s in creating an environment that has allowed the boys to become true gentlemen. Their manners, both courteous and respectful, were indeed impressive and left us with a very positive feeling.”

Headmaster Ted Staunton was particularly pleased with the results of the evaluation. “Over the past seven years we made tremendous strides to address areas of possible weakness in the School as a whole,” he notes. “We responded to hundreds of recommendations that came out of our own studies and long-term plans.”

“Still, when an external group of your peers comes in with the magnifying glass to point out your shortcomings for all to see, you’re justifiably nervous. But the overall results were beyond our dreams. I could not have been more pleased with the evaluation committee’s findings and report. All in all, it was a great process for St. Andrew’s to undertake and respond to. Kevin and Courtenay led us through the process most capably, and the support offered by our faculty was nothing short of inspiring.”

Courtenay notes that recommendations might be categorized more as suggestions for improvement rather than any kind of condemnation for failure, though there were a couple of “motherhood” issues that he feels bear consideration. “One of the major things that came out was that the students are at their limit in terms of pace of life,” he notes. “I suppose this is something we inherently know, but it hits home a bit harder when skilled people from outside of the school point it out to you.”

“So even though the students seem to want to do more and more, we need to be aware of the strain on them. We’re accustomed to saying yes and being supportive when they come to us with ideas, but for their sake maybe we need to start saying no to some things we’ve always said yes to.”

Kevin calls the whole evaluation a very valuable process of school soul-searching and self-assessment. “It’s a forced reflection you might otherwise not make time to do,” he says. “The internal evaluation we did was tremendously beneficial. We’ve been able to address areas that might be improved by taking our own and the evaluation committee’s recommendations back to department heads. Those things are now being addressed, and we’ll move forward for seven more years until it all starts again!”

“St. Andrew’s College is one of Canada’s great independent schools.”

“Consideration should be given to the benefits realized by having a communications officer overseeing the multitude of information leaving the School. Housed within the Advancement office, the same detailed process utilized for communication with the alumni could easily be adapted to the numerous communications going out to the parents.”

“St. Andrew’s College does an excellent job of reporting students’ progress to parents/guardians. The posting of teachers’ electronic daybooks on the internet ensures that both students and parents are kept abreast of materials being covered, homework assignments, and any upcoming assessment.”

EXCELLENCE AWARDED

Kevin McHenry, Assistant Headmaster, Academics and the Upper School, joined St. Andrew’s four years ago after 12 years in public high schools, first as a teacher of business, accounting, law and computers, and subsequently as a Vice Principal at Newmarket Secondary School. Life in an independent school has been very much to his liking, largely, he says, because of the tremendous energy and dedication of the faculty and staff.

“There is a very strong sense that we’re all on the same page and working towards the same goals,” he says. “This makes for a very motivating environment.”

Kevin arrived at the school just as the province eliminated Grade 13, at a time when academics were ripe for an overhaul.

It became clear very quickly that he was the man for the job, and since his arrival, St. Andrew’s has seen a rebirth of its academic focus and direction. Failure rates have plummeted, student honours have soared, and perhaps never have the boys of St. Andrew’s been so well prepared for the increasingly competitive world of university academics. The learning environment is exciting – in no small part due to Kevin’s drive to raise the academic ante. He has clearly relished the challenge.

ACADEMIC INITIATIVES BRING RESULTS “I’m excited because I feel we really have our academic house in better order than ever before,” says Kevin. “We’re running a number of innovative programs that are not happening anywhere else, and we’re carving out a clear academic niche in a very busy and active school.”

“Athletics, drama, music – with all these activities, academics are not always the most celebrated side of school life.

Academics are not glamorous, but everyone knows that’s why the boys are here. There are a number of great initiatives we’ve worked towards and we’re seeing results.”

In June, Andrean writer Jim McGillivray spoke with Kevin about these wide-ranging initiatives and what they mean to today’s Andreans.

…ON BALANCE WITHIN ACADEMICS One of the most difficult things to do at a school like this is to create and manage the right balance within the academic program and between academics and other aspects of student life. The balance of priorities in the academic program right now is right where it should be. We have a strong and developing Advanced Placement program and a number of other things that are moving us towards equally high standards.

It is this balance we’ve attained in the last few years that I am most proud of.

…ON THE NEED FOR STRUCTURE Every student says, “I want to do well in academics,” and they really mean it. But it wasn’t always happening. We found we didn’t have the structure in place around their academic lives to help them make that happen. The best example is probably the GLC – the Guided Learning Centre. This is a program whereby students who haven’t finished assignments on schedule are required to attend a classroom after school where they are given the time and the guidance to complete the work. The bottom line for the GLC is very straightforward: if you don’t finish a major assignment that has been posted to the teacher’s online daybook seven days in advance of its due date, you don’t participate in co-curricular activities. It sounds hard-line, but it’s very fair.

Communication is key here. When a student is assigned to the GLC, emails go out from the GLC co-ordinator to five people: the student, the parent, the advisor, the Housemaster, and the coach.

In reality, most boys spend one or two days in the GLC and the assignment is finished.

This program has improved the culture of the school academically and it is working tremendously well. It motivates them to finish work on their

EXCELLENCE AWARDED

“Encouraged by the school’s warm environment and dedicated teachers, students naturally find themselves willing to test their limits and to reveal their character.”

“The GLC is a supervised room where students who have outstanding assignments or tests go, instead of after school extra-curricular activities, until the piece of work is complete.

Students and teachers alike feel that it has changed the culture of the school by making a clear statement that “academics are number one,” and has facilitated the tracking of students who are experiencing academic troubles.”

“Overall, it appears that the opportunity to engage in critical thinking is provided in many classrooms at St. Andrew’s College, but it is not evident that critical thinking is being taught as a coherent process within the broader curriculum.”

own, and if they don’t it gives them the structure to get it finished in spite of themselves. Alan Halstead, who facilitates the GLC, sits with them and helps them to organize and to plan their work and their next week.

A by-product of this program is the information that comes out of it. Alan is meticulous about recording information that I can then study. This feedback gives me a very accurate snapshot of the academic year and where problem areas might be for students in general.

…ON THE FOUR-YEAR CURRICULUM

“THE VISITING COMMITTEE CONGRATULATES ST. ANDREW’S FOR ITS COMMITMENT TO THE ARTS, AND ENCOURAGES THE

When the Ministry changed the curriculum to four-years from five, students, particularly at St. Andrew’s found it an incredible challenge to get their credits while participating in everything else here that is important to Andrean life. The burden is tremendous for all high school students, to the point where 30% of students province-wide still take five years to finish their 30 credits rather than four. With that in mind, we’ve had to develop programs that help students acquire credits earlier and outside of the traditional day. Of course the first major program developed for this purpose was GPP/AMR – the Cadet program credit courses that allow boys to earn a Grade 11 credit for three years’ work in Cadets, the Pipes & Drums and the Military band between Grades 9 and 11. This was our obvious first choice for such a course.

The effort and time commitment were there from the boys and the faculty; it was just a matter of formalizing the paperwork.

It’s working superbly.

In September 2005, we introduced a new mandatory credit course for all boarders. The course is called Learning Strategies and its focus is on the development of students’ study skills, test taking and general academic organization. It was developed and is taught by the Director of Residential Life, David Galajda.

The course has been very well received by our boarding students and their parents.

The

SCHOOL TO CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE AND TO SHOWCASE STUDENT AND FACULTY WORK.”

“To say that students lead an active life at St. Andrew’s College is an understatement!”

In Grade 8 we have introduced two Upper School credit courses. One is called Comprehensive Arts, which is a Grade 9 credit course combining music, art and drama. The other is a Grade 9 math course, again for Grade 8 boys. These are all designed to help students get ahead of the game; in essence we have formalized work they were already doing so that they could earn a credit for it to reduce the pressure on them in Grades 11 and 12.

We have also expanded our summer school program and encouraged students to take a course in the summer. We had almost 60 of our students in S.A.C. summer school last summer, which is more than we have ever had. This program helps these boys earn credits early, increasing their chances of graduating with good standing after four years.

EXCELLENCE AWARDED

…ON ADVANCED PLACEMENT INITIATIVES Advanced Placement – ’AP’ as it is known – fits our school very well. AP is huge in the U.S. and is growing quickly in Canada as well. An AP course is our usual credit course, but with enough elements of a first-year university course that students can go straight into a second-year university course once they have it.

It allows students to specialize and reach into university level material that suits their strengths and interests. We had 14 AP exam topics written this year. Five AP courses are stand-alone, some combine AP with regular course material, dividing the class into two sections. Next year we’ll have two more standalone AP courses. These are demanding courses. Our vision is not to mandate anyone to take them, but to give the opportunity to those who are able and willing. Since 2002 we’ve gone from 64 AP exams written to 123 written this year, so it’s a booming program. The program works superbly for us, and of 37 Ontario and Quebec students named National AP Scholars in May 2005, four were St. Andrew’s students. St. Andrew’s ranked 3rd out of 250 AP schools last year. Our Advanced Placement capabilities and success are among the top reasons people are choosing this school. Parents ask about it right up front.

feasible we increased academic time during the week. It wasn’t a huge increase in time, but we’ve found that this time is far more useful than it was on Saturdays, when absences were high due to sports and family commitments. I’m sure that many Old Boys remember too many cancelled Saturday classes.

Far from compromising academics, getting rid of them has increased academic quality time by putting it back into the regular school day.

…ON MAINTAINING MINISTRY STANDARDS The Ministry of Education comes in every two years to inspect us. They were here in December, and I confess I was worried because so many new initiatives had been put into place since the last inspection. How would they feel about our ’non-traditional’ courses such as Cadets/Music Repertoire, Learning Strategies, and our ’reach-ahead’ Grade 9 credits, or our new S.A.C. Assessment and Evaluation policy? But their report was glowing. They went through things in great detail, and to quote them, St Andrew’s is a “leading school.” So that really reinforced the value of the work we’ve done in recent years.

…ON THE MOVE TO LAPTOPS I think the key with laptops has been in finding the right balance and I think we’ve found that. The laptop is being used as it should be: as a great learning tool. It’s like a whiteboard, or a Smart board, or a book, or a piece of chalk – a tool to help learn. That’s the niche it has found. Teachers spend lots of time in professional development on laptops, and we’ve had to create a whole I.T. committee to manage the laptop program. But the laptop has become a tremendous tool for us, and it keeps the boys and the faculty on the leading edge of where things are going.

Through the school year, I habitually visit three different classes a week for 30-40 minute segments, and I never cease to be amazed by the uses being made with laptops by both the faculty and the boys.

…ON THE 2005 ELIMINATION OF SATURDAY CLASSES This was contentious at first, but academically it has worked just as we had hoped. The first thing it did was to greatly reduce the stress level among students and staff. Of course, to make it

We’ve improved communication between students and teachers, and between teachers and parents. There can never be too much communication. This fall, we have taken a huge step forward by implementing online marks for all courses in the school. There are some obvious advantages to this for all students and their

“A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.

What’s a heaven for?”

LOOKING BACK – FROM THE REVIEW: 1974 J. ROBERT COULTER 1914-2006 These words of Browning epitomize the life and work of our retiring Headmaster. In his search for excellence, Dr. Coulter has had four distinguished careers in which his strength of character has been reflected. He has the discipline of a professional athlete, the patience of a teacher, the skill of a University Director and the wisdom of a Headmaster. A tribute to him at this time includes the hope that he and his gracious wife reach for yet another career.

I believe his contribution to our school can be best stated by referring to the words of Dr. David W. Slater when, as President of York University, he introduced Dr. Coulter to the assembly at the time that University honoured him at Convocation – “Not content to rest on laurels that St. Andrew’s College had already won, Dr. Coulter strengthened the traditions of the past and infused into the school his own passion for academic soundness.

The

The record shows that St. Andrew’s College, under his direction, takes no second place as a seat of learning, nor would it be an exaggeration to say that, as the present Dean of Canadian Headmasters, Dr. Coulter’s influence has been felt across the Independent Schools of the country.”

This is the measure of the man we have all been proud to know.

In recognition of his great contribution to St. Andrew’s, the Board of Governors has authorized the Coulter Scholarship Fund. Thus, we at St. Andrew’s will always remember Dr. Coulter in a tangible and meaningful way. May he reflect with pleasure on the great contribution he has made to the affairs of our school.

GAGE H. LOVE Chairman of the Board

ST. ANDREW’S COLLEGE HAS HAD BUT FOUR HEADMASTERS IN ITS 75 YEARS OF HISTORY.

The first, the Rev. Dr. George Bruce, organized the school, but ill health forced him to retire before the first year was up.

The next, Dr. D. Bruce Macdonald, established the nature of the school. He saw it through three locations in Toronto and the move to Aurora.

The Headmastership of Dr. Kenneth Ketchum was a period of consolidation with emphasis on rebuilding after the depression years and restructuring after World War II. J.R. Coulter succeeded to the Headmastership in 1958 and over the 16 years of his term in office has changed the school in many ways. First of all he has been a builder. The Ketchum Auditorium and the adjoining classroom wing (now Coulter Hall), the Great Hall together with the renovation of the old upper school dining hall into the Fourth House (now Sifton House) residence and the extensive changes in Macdonald House, marked his early years as Headmaster. The second major building programme is more recent and in the minds of most of us here, but we must mention the extensive enlargement of the Library (now Towers Library) and the construction of our magnificent Science facilities (now MacLaughlin Hall). Both of these building programmes were, to a large measure, accomplished as a result of the Headmaster’s recognition of the developing physical needs of the school.

For many headmasters, the physical improvements which I have just outlined, would have been a sufficient major accomplishment for their term of office; but Dr. Coulter has not been a builder of buildings only. Over the years he has attracted to the school a competent staff who have made a major contribution to the other buildings which Dr. Coulter has taken even more pride in than the physical one: the building of a sound academic programme which has grown as the needs of the student body has changed.

The

We now turn to the man himself. What kind of person has been headmaster of this school for 16 years? First of all his athletic prowess, which was certainly a part of his reputation as he came to St. Andrew’s, has not been the dominant factor of his life here.

From time to time, he has helped in the coaching of teams but basically he has left this side of the school life to others. He has insisted on the maintenance of good academic standards.

When occasion has demanded it he has taken decisive action even when many would have been inclined to temporize. Always his underlying motive has been the best needs of the school.

Even though many have differed with him from time to time, no one will deny that he has always kept his interpretation of this idea to the foremost.

In summation, one must recognize that S.A.C. has grown strongly in the last 16 years. This growth has been in numbers, moving from a school of approximately 225 to a school of over 325; has been in buildings, it has been in academic standing.

This is a fine legacy for anyone to leave to a successor.

WYSE FOLLOWS NOSE TO SUCCESS…

Success seems to follow Jim Wyse ’57, and has since his S.A.C. days when he was an athletic leader in football and hockey during an athletically strong year at the school. Trained at University of Toronto as a Civil Engineer, Jim earned an M.B.A. at Western before getting into management consulting and then property development as a builder of condominiums in British Columbia. Among other things, he built the Nancy Green Olympic Lodge, a 90-room hotel at Whistler.

But what has he done recently? Well, nothing short of founding and building one of Canada’s leading wineries. In 1993, Jim was ready for something different and bought 100 acres in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley, with a view to expanding his love of fine wines into a business. He added 100 more acres and began the Burrowing Owl Vineyard, named after an endangered species protected by a government reserve adjacent to his land. Within a few short years, Burrowing Owl wines were being feted in publications across North America as among Canada’s best.

“The latest Cabernet Sauvignon was advertised on our website at midnight on a Sunday at $30 a bottle,” Jim tells BCBusiness in an April interview, “and by 2 pm the next day it was gone. The $40 Meritage was sold out the afternoon after that.” Jim’s 2002 Meritage won gold medals and Best of Class honours in two separate California wine competitions in 2005.

Today, Jim’s land is worth at least 20 times what he paid for it, though he’s not about to sell. With $7 million in revenues expected this year, the firm will spend $5 million on upgraded production and bed-and-breakfast facilities. The family is not left out of the business either, with son Stephen, daughter-in-law Michelle and wife Midge all intimately involved.

When he’s not running his wildly successful business, Jim plays piano and writes music for a swing band that performs regularly in such locales as Club Med in Nassau.

Jim continues to lace up the skates and plays hockey regularly with Gord Robertson ’54.

THIS GOOD DOCTOR IS NOT ABOUT TO SLOW DOWN

Knowing that Dr. Malcolm “Woody” Fisher graduated from St. Andrew’s in 1952 (with the Governor General’s Medal no less), you might think he’d be well into retirement by now. In truth, at a point when many people would be easing into a life of leisure, Woody, after 25 years of full-time academia with the University of Toronto, was opening the Upper Canada Lower Bowel Clinic in downtown Toronto. That was 1994, and the septuagenarian Doctor still puts in four full days a week, seeing from 80-100 patients as an “Arcologist” (anus/rectum/colon specialist). Why does he do this? “This is incredibly rewarding work,” he says. “If there are any downsides, they come from government and professional bureaucracy, not from the work. I can’t imagine doing anything more gratifying.”

Environmental issues also play a big role in Woody’s life, especially since a trip to Costa Rica resulted in his buying 300 acres of threatened rainforest and donating it in 1998 to York University. The land remains pristine and York has used it for field studies to help graduate more than 20 students with their Master of Environmental Studies. Woody and his cousins have also protected a family homestead in Muskoka. This rare and unique wetlands property will also soon belong to York University, with whom Woody claims a “wonderful and rewarding association” since he first met with them to offer the Costa Rican land.

Woody spends less time than he would like at his “Oceat” island in Georgian Bay, with his three children (a surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children, a science teacher at St. Michael’s University School in Victoria, B.C., and a bond trader turned mother) and seven grandchildren.

Oh, and did we mention he founded the Canadian Liver Foundation and the Environment Protection Laboratories? He is also very into wine as a Certified Sommelier, teacher (Vintegriteach) and writer (Vinsider Report).

CELEBRATING THE LEGACY OF ROGER NEILSON

Marshall Starkman ’89 returned to S.A.C. this past summer, albeit not in an academic role. Marshall is the Director of Roger Neilson’s Hockey, a not-for-profit hockey camp and coaching clinic that celebrated 30 years of success by making the St. Andrew’s campus the camp’s home base for six weeks in July and August.

The camp hosts 150 boys and girls per week for an intense and enjoyable program of on and off-ice activities, all geared toward good health, team-building and hockey excellence.

Marshall attended the camp as an aspiring goaltender many years ago, but he first became involved as an instructor in 1992 when S.A.C. hockey coach Al Dunford introduced him to Roger Neilson. His role grew as the years passed and he came to know Roger, a mentor for whom he had tremendous respect. “Knowing Roger Neilson as a friend is something that changes your life,” he says. “Our programs reflect his meticulous attention to detail, his progressive thinking, and his passion for excellence. But they also reflect what I consider Roger’s greatest legacies: his generosity and down-to-earth caring, selfless nature.” Neilson died in 2003 after a long and courageous fight against cancer.

Marshall currently runs the camp full-time out of a Stouffville office, continuing his lifetime hockey commitment that was interrupted only for a few years in the mid-1990s when he followed his Ryerson Bachelor of Applied Arts degree into the film industry. Even then he was playing or helping out with Junior teams like the Lindsay Muskies (owned by Roger) and intermittently with the S.A.C. varsity team. Last season, he was the Director of Hockey Operations for the Stouffville Spirit of the Ontario Provincial Junior ’A’ Hockey League (OPJHL), guiding them to their first division and conference titles in team history.

GETTING IT RIGHT AT THE TOP

Ever worked for a dysfunctional company? Peter Bedard ’83 was fortunate enough to work for several – fortunate because it has helped him find his niche. Peter established People First as a part-time consulting business in 1999, but has “gone legit” since bringing on a partner and incorporating in the last four years.

Peter’s clients are companies that once were small, but are having trouble managing growth, largely due to personnel issues.

“We help people who may have started out building a product, but are now building a company,” he says. “Very often, managing people is not their area of expertise. They are frustrated and they know they need help. They are pretty receptive to what we try to do, which is basically hold a mirror up to their management style and make sure it aligns with the company’s values.” Peter says he finds “almost 100%” of the time that problems start at the top with the C.E.O. His experience with various firms run by “extreme” personalities throughout the 1990s to the present have helped hone his consulting skills. Today his clients include large land developers, a university and a number of engineering firms.

Peter is part of the stalwart-S.A.C. Bedard family. His three brothers also attended the School and their father Bob served as Headmaster from 1981-1997. Peter went on to receive a B.A. from the University of Toronto and an M.B.A. from the Schulich School of Business at York University, where he has taught a course on Organizational Behaviour for the past seven years.

Peter is married to Jane Kravchenko, who taught at S.A.C. until the couple had the first of their three sons in 1998. They moved back to Aurora in August after a stint in Toronto, and Jane is back helping out at the School as a tutor. True to the Bedard family tradition, Peter still plays tennis competitively; as do his brothers and father.

Welcome to the 107th edition of Prize Day at St. Andrew’s College.

Regardless of distance traveled, either from across Yonge Street or from distant countries, it is wonderful to have you with us at this, the last formal event of the year. Our diverse, international student population is one of the unique features of St. Andrew’s College – one that truly enriches our community.

It is nice to be under the “big top” again.

Do you remember the blue and white tent with the holes in it – we got UCC to buy it!

I knew we’d get the last laugh.

Every school year has its distinguishing characteristics. As Mr. Chisholm mentioned, CESI’s visit was a major preoccupation. Every single member of the Board, faculty, staff, and Ladies’ Guild Executive were involved to some degree.

Thank you to all of these groups for their openness to the Visiting Committee.

I think it is appropriate in this setting to also thank you, the parents, for investing your hard-earned dollars in the education of your son at S.A.C. The impressive report from CESI should confirm the fact that you made the right choice of school.

It also gives the Board and administration confidence that changes we have made

over the past nine years have made for a better school for the boys. Over the summer, we will either mail, email, or post on our website a copy of the report.

Another distinctive element of this school year was extraordinary acts of courage by our students.

“Courage” is often defined as “that quality of mind or spirit enabling one to meet danger or opposition with fearlessness”.

At St. Andrew’s, we recognize one student per grade who, in the opinion of the faculty, has set the best example for effort, persistency and tenacity in their studies and other school activities. They displayed these characteristics under adverse conditions and exhibited courage under fire. Five boys, instead of four, will receive the Colonel Frederick A. Tilston award.

Without his calm delivery of information to the police, loss of life may have resulted. When several police detachments surrounded the house, the intruders attempted a foolhardy escape in the family vehicle and one of them was fatally wounded.

Colonel Tilston would be very proud of the actions of Graham Thompson.

GRADUATING CLASS HIGHLIGHTS & OTHER SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS

This is a day to recognize exceptional achievements of boys in all grades, but in particular the Graduating Class. I’d like to focus on this group of fine young men for a few minutes.

Fifty-three percent of the class of 97 boys graduate as Ontario Scholars and the average number of university acceptances per student is 4.

The students in the class have been offered over $500,000 in scholarships.

Some of the more notable ones include: Kevin Lee from Ohio Wesleyan University (he’s decided on accepting the Diversity Scholarship at Dickinson); Karl McCartney – prestigious athletic scholarship to Wilfrid Laurier; Jun Young Lee from St. Joseph’s University; and Gordon Lee from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but he’s going to UPenn; Murray Kay, Tyler Munro and James Porter from Carleton but they have chosen McMaster, Western and Queen’s instead; Darryl Shen from Queen’s, but he has opted for Waterloo. Arthur Wong stayed loyal to Queen’s after their offer of a significant scholarship; and Kiko Halaliku rejected a $20,000 offer from UBC to attend Guelph.

(A very persuasive Guelph football coach, I suspect).

Other boys in the class will be attending Cornell, Brown, Boston College, Colgate, Carnegie-Mellon, Tufts, NYU, USC, Michigan, Rhode Island School of Design, Edinburgh, London School of Economics, University of Manchester, St. Andrew’s and Warwick.

His energy, enthusiasm and hearty laugh will be missed. I know that we will hear about Art’s next project very soon.

Please join me in thanking a true renaissance man for his many contributions to school life at S.A.C. Denny Ringler is retiring, yet again, from the S.A.C. Music department. We have been very fortunate to have a person of Denny’s talents and enthusiasm in the department, particularly this year during Don Finlay’s leave-of-absence. In the past, he has taught keyboard, choral, midi, winds and percussion and jazz studies. A former Head of Music at two all-boys’ schools, Lower Canada College in Montreal and Crescent School in Toronto, Denny was a perfect fit for S.A.C. His interest in cadets, particularly Cadets in Concert and improving the calibre of the cadet military band has made a big difference. We will miss Denny’s constant smile and sense of humour. Happy retirement in La Belle province.

Ms. Isabelle Goulet will be teaching summer school at St. Andrew’s this

summer, before returning to her native Quebec to be married in August. Isabelle was a Resident Don in Memorial House and Upper School Math tutor from September to March. In April, she bravely took over Mrs. Clare Kowaltschuk’s Geography classes and guided successfully those classes to the end of the year. We thank her sincerely for her excellent work and wish her much happiness in the future.

Earlier this year, the Region of York completed the installation of our new actuated traffic lights which will ensure a much safer entrance for all. There is no doubt we have seen the advantages to having these lights grace our front gates.

As you approach the top of the drive you will see that the restoration of the Mac House Triangle was completed this past summer.

Roads have been repaired and widened, much needed infrastructure was added and the final landscaping was completed.

We look forward to having you visit.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

A wonderful way to give In the Spring of 2006, the Canadian Government announced a new budget which provides an exciting, tax-saving opportunity for donors. Effective May 2006, there is no longer any capital gains tax on gifts of publicly-traded shares, bonds, mutual fund units and employee stock options donated to registered charities.

Gifts of publicly-traded securities have become an increasingly popular way of supporting S.A.C. and we are pleased that you will receive even greater tax benefits for your generous support.

To illustrate: You purchase shares at a price of $10,000 and the fair market value of the stock has risen to $15,000. When you donate the stock to S.A.C., the Foundation will issue you a tax receipt in the amount of $15,000. You will no longer be required

The

to pay tax on the $5,000 gain. Previously, 25% of the gain would have been taxable.

We hope this exciting news will encourage you to consider making a gift of securities to help provide unique educational opportunities for the students of St. Andrew’s. Such a gift could be part of your annual contribution, support for a capital building project, or perhaps a family endowed fund.

Making a gift this way is easy. Please consult your tax advisor or call the Advancement Office if you are considering this vehicle to support the school.

Please contact Jim Herder at 905-727-3178 x 237 or jim.herder@sac.on.ca

REMARKS TO THE CADET CORPS

S.A.C. ASSOCIATION NEWS

50

Forty-nine years ago, almost to the day, I stood on this Quad as a member of the St. Andrew’s College Highland Cadet Corps. It never crossed my mind as I marched and counter-marched that afternoon that I might some day be the Reviewing Officer. And I suspect that my comrades in the ranks - and Aubrey Holmes, our chief instructor - would have thought me a most unlikely prospect to do so. Thank you for asking me to be with you today. I consider it a great honour. And I assure you that it is a very great pleasure.

I was a member of #2 Platoon, commanded by my friend and classmate Noel Roberts, known officially in those days as Roberts Primus. We were both in the Upper Sixth that year, but he was the older of the pair and thus Roberts Primus. I became

The

Roberts Secondus.

Noel died four years ago, one of the three from our Graduating Class and the eight from the Class of 1957 who have passed on.

We’re celebrating our 50 year reunion. There were only 31 of us in the Upper Sixth that year, and so we’ve combined forces this weekend with 1956 so that there are enough of us to make a respectable showing. Thirty-two of us are here today, 19 from my year and 13 from the Class of 1956. We took dinner together last night. We had a wonderful evening, beginning of course with the grace that ends “per Jesum Christum Dominum Nostrum”. I never did learn all of the words, but those five words were the ones that counted, because they came just before the meal was served!

th

“I’ve never seen a better performance by any cadet corps or military unit than that carried out here today — There are 455 Army cadet units in Canada today. Most are much younger.

Only 11 of them are older.

None is better.”

As a Lieutenant Governor, and as the Honorary Colonel of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, I am often invited to parades and other military events, and I act as the Reviewing Officer at several Annual Ceremonial Reviews each year - that’s a new name for Inspections, in the jargon. They are always well done, and often very well done. But I must begin by telling you that I’ve never seen a better performance by any cadet corps or military unit than that carried out here today by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Simpson and the other officers and cadets on parade, led by what is beyond argument the finest student Pipes and Drums Band anywhere. I congratulate every member of the Corps, from the Commanding Officer to the most junior private, on their accomplishments. You have every right to be proud of yourselves today. This Corps, as we know, is 101 years old. There are 455 Army cadet units in Canada today. Most are much younger. Only 11 of them are older. None is better.

I shall speak in a moment or two about my own connection with the School, but first let me remind you that young Newfoundlanders have been coming to St. Andrews from almost its very beginning. I am told there are four here this year. Perhaps the highwater mark came early in 1972, when Andreans made up a full 10% of the Members of Newfoundland’s House of Assembly,

You are a credit to yourselves, you are a credit to your families, and you are a credit to your School - to our School. our Legislature. Four of us - James Chalker, John Crosbie, Frank Moores and myself - wore the Old Boy’s tie. Frank and I - like the elephant and the mouse - shared leadership positions: he was Premier and I led the Opposition.

Notwithstanding those links, I was startled - when I began to prepare these notes - to realize that this is only the third time I have been back to the School since I left in June 1957. But I can tell you that although I’ve only been here twice in half a century, there hasn’t been a day in those years that the School wasn’t with me. Had anybody told us 50 years ago that St. Andrew’s would shape our lives, I would have scoffed at the notion - and every one of my classmates would have done so, too. But I can tell you that it did, and it does. My years here have had a lasting effect - and it has been a beneficial one, I hasten to add.

It would be foolish of me to tell you that my military career as a member of the Cadet Corps was noteworthy. Promotion in those days was a consequence of competition: I hope it still is, because it should be. I rose to the exalted rank of Corporal in the fall of 1956, my last year at the School. I might have made Sergeant, if only I hadn’t ordered the platoon I was guiding through a drill exercise to “Left Wheel” instead of telling them to make a “Right Wheel”. My

The

friends and classmates heeded the order, and marched straight into the wall of the gym in Dunlap Hall (now the Wirth Art Centre).

Always willing to oblige and to help a comrade in need, they didn’t even mark time: they just piled atop each other.

By one means or another, we all learned much at St. Andrews.

Some of us did well academically, some excelled in sports and others learned to lead by becoming officers in the Cadets. Some of the knowledge we gained was tested by examinations, but most of it has been tested by our lives throughout the years. Those were the most valuable lessons of all in my judgement.

– We learned to accept responsibility for our own actions: we answered “adsum” when our name was called. The phrase Toots Garstang, who took on the Herculean task of teaching us Latin - means “I am here”. I’m told you no longer use it - but I’m sure you still answer for your deeds - or your misdeeds.

– We learned that one must know how to take orders before one is fit to give them.

– We learned the need for discipline, and particularly for self discipline - perhaps the most valuable of all qualities.

– We learned the value of comradeship, and the skills of living together, many of us far away from home.

– And we learned to stand up for ourselves. The magnificent prose of the King James Version still resonates: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity”. It’s a mighty watch-word.

I’m passionately interested in the history of Newfoundland and Labrador. Soldiers and sailors are an important part of that

history, and since coming to Government House I’ve learned a great deal about the role they have played in our past. I cherish my appointment as Honorary Colonel of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, a military formation which celebrated its 211th birthday ten days ago with a church service and a parade to commemorate the Gallipoli campaign. The Newfoundlanders, as a regiment in the British Army, were the only North American unit to fight there, alongside the Australians and the New Zealanders of the famed ANZAC Corps and several British regiments. The Newfoundlanders won imperishable glory on the 1st of July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, at a small French hamlet named Beaumont Hamel. Eight hundred of them attacked that morning: 68 were able to answer the roll call the next day. Two months later, the Newfoundlanders were back in the front line, in the Ypres Salient.

Their neighbours were Canadians. That was the first time soldiers from the two Dominions fought side-by-side since the Royal Newfoundland Regiment of Fencibles came to Upper Canada in the War of 1812-14.

In recent years, many thousands of my fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have volunteered for the Canadian Forces. I am told that somewhere between 15 to 20 percent of the men and women serving in overseas deployments today have family connections with our province.

The

I’ve learned, too, that Canada’s Armed Forces are a superb group of professional, dedicated men and women. They deserve the support of every one of us. And I am happy to be able to say that more and more Canadians are standing up to say so. Most of you on parade today will choose careers other than the Armed Forces. But I say to those who will “follow the Colours” that it is an honourable way to live one’s life, and to serve your fellow Canadians.

Thank you again for giving me the honour of being with you today. There’s no military performance as glorious as that of a Highland Regiment marching well, with pipes playing and drums beating. You’ve added lustre to the laurels won by all the young men who have marched in the ranks of this Corps over its centurylong history. You are a credit to yourselves, you are a credit to your families, and you are a credit to your School - to our School.

Let me close with a traditional invocation of my fellow Newfoundlanders, a people who have been bred to the sea. The foremost sail on a schooner, as many of you will know, is the jib. And when we want to wish a friend a good voyage, with fair winds and a safe harbour, we say “long may your big jib draw”.

And so I say to you today, “long may your big jib draw”.

Thank you,

MIDDLE SCHOOL ARTS DAY

4TH ANNUAL MIDDLE SCHOOL ARTS DAY A HUGE SUCCESS

Inspiring

St. Andrew’s College hosted another successful Middle School Arts Day on May 9th, exposing students in Grades 6, 7 and 8 to an impressive array of talented artists.

Fifteen artists from around Ontario spent the day at St. Andrew’s sharing their outstanding expertise in their particular mediums. Each student chose different workshops to attend throughout the day, and all were taught new and exciting techniques and ideas.

We were fortunate to have three Old Boys attend, who are part of a group of artists called drawnonward http://www.drawnonward.com.

These artists became friends while at St. Andrew’s College in the 80’s, where they discovered their common love for landscape painting. Gord Kemp’s workshop was titled “Land Art and Earth Works”. Kemp ’88 enjoys creating sculptures using natural materials found outdoors. He has been inspired by Britain’s naturalist sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy, who he introduced to the students through a documentary. Gord took the students outside and taught them how to build structures using natural organic

materials. These sculptures were photographed and left to be enjoyed by all. Paul Mantrop ’87 enjoys working outdoors as well. He demonstrated to the students his love of art and his developed skills in landscape painting. His paintings are compelling and dynamic and his approach to his work was powerfully displayed to the students. Chris Roberts’ ’87 approach to painting was very different than that of his friends.

His session was titled “Abstract Expressionism”, and left the

Paula Doyle. Another favourite workshop was Don Chretien demonstrating his advanced Photoshop skills. Overall, all sessions were hands-on, fun and exciting for everyone. A big thank you goes to all artists for sharing their talents once again on this remarkable day.

Many grandparents joined us in the afternoon for the first Grandparent’s Day at St. Andrew’s College. They toured the classrooms, met the artists and watched their grandsons create amazing works of art. Many thanks to Ted and Jane Staunton who closed the day with a beautiful tea for all of the grandparents and artists in their home.

FROM THE EDITOR

The memory will never fade The members of the Regiment known as The First Five Hundred were each given a tiny Bible at St. Andrew’s Church in St. John’s on October 4, 1914.

Inscribed in it are the words: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.”

I am in a reflective mood. Writing about the recent death of Bob Coulter, I am thinking about how much an agent of change he was in his 16 years at the helm of St. Andrew’s. He was my Headmaster as we both started our careers at St. Andrew’s in 1958. So as a student, I witnessed firsthand the tremendous re-building of the College in 1962, which is described in the late Lloyd MacPherson’s tribute reprinted from the 1974 Review in this issue. One man, driven with a passion for change and improvement can make a huge difference in the lives of many.

Certainly Bob Coulter did that at St. Andrew’s.

He was born in 1914, the year the Great War, the “war to end all wars” started. In late June of this year, Gail and I went to northern France to attend the commemoration of the sacrifice made by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in that war. We were with a large group of Newfoundlanders, and we visited the major battlegrounds where the Regiment fought – all of them, now, a part of the beautiful French countryside. The multilayers of crops in farmers’ fields are an endless green ocean rippling in the breeze, ever changing, ever the same. And on the side of the roadways, every few kilometers, are the cemeteries.

At the Somme, from July to November 1916, a million men died advancing twelve kilometers. Flowers mark the immaculate graves of men from every corner of the globe. Many of the smaller cemeteries lie in the middle of farmers’ fields. Others run wide into the distance as far as the eye can see. We were left speechless.

July 1st this year was the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Beaumont Hamel. It was the first day of the battle of the Somme.

Everything that could go wrong, did. The Royal Newfoundland

The

Regiment, among the first attackers, numbered 801 men. Those able bodied enough to answer the roll call the next morning numbered 68. All the others were killed, or wounded, or missing.

It was, and remains, the greatest tragedy in the history of Newfoundland. The loss to our island people hit every cove and inlet, every town and city. It wiped out a whole generation of our brightest and best young men. They had signed up for what they called the great adventure, sure they would be home for Christmas.

Three of them were my uncles: Hubert died that day and is buried at Beaumont Hamel, aged 25. Arthur was wounded and then killed the next year just down the road at Cambrai, aged 32.

Ralph was wounded there, and at subsequent battles, lived through the four years and returned home in 1918. Their sister, Elsie, was an ambulance driver behind the lines.

July 1st of course is Canada Day, but for Newfoundlanders it is also, and always, Memorial Day. We are grateful that this year, for the first time, there was a commemorative ceremony on Parliament Hill to remember Beaumont Hamel.

In France, six Andreans were among the Newfoundland delegation. We were led by Lieutenant Governor Edward Roberts ’57 who is also Honorary Colonel of the Regiment; his son-in-law Ivan Lavrence ’87; The Hon John Crosbie ’49, Chancellor of Memorial University; Tom Munn ’50; The Rev. Ian Wishart ’48, a former Padre of the Regiment; and myself. It was, to put it mildly, an unforgettably emotional experience. All of us had relatives or family friends or both, who died in that place on that day or elsewhere in that war.

And I therefore wondered whether something so personal was a reasonable subject for a column like this.

Two thoughts occurred to me. First, think what the world lost because of those millions of deaths and what many of them might have accomplished had they been spared. Bob Coulter lived to do what he did because he didn’t die as a young man in a muddy war somewhere. Second, think what the world gained. Our freedoms rest on their sacrifice and that of millions more, in other wars, in other lands, right up to the present day.
