Mme Talaat and Mme Diallo extend their heartfelt congratulations to Julia, Waverly, Ayun, Chloé, Titoluwa, Maya, Liliane, Cici and Emma! These talented students participated in the regional competition of the 2025 Concours d’art oratoire, the largest French public-speaking event in Ontario for students in Grades 9–12 studying French as a Second Language (FSL). Participants showcased their French language proficiency through both Traditional and Impromptu speaking formats.

A special congratulations to Waverly, Chloé, Tito, Cici and Emma, who achieved first place in their respective categories and will be competing at the provincial level on May 3, 2025!

Participation in this prestigious event has not only earned our students well-deserved recognition but has also strengthened their confidence and skills in French public speaking. We hope their success will continue to inspire others to explore the enriching world of French oratory. 🇫🇷

Ms. McCann had a thrilling time in Monaco over the March Break as she participated in the Virginie Heriot Trophy Women's Sailing championships! ⛵️

Ms. McCann raced as the mainsail trimmer and tactics position and was the only Canadian at the regatta. After racing in challenging wind and wave conditions, the team finished strong with two fourth place and two seventh place finishes, competing against top Olympic sailors. "It is wonderful to see such strong support and sponsorship for female sailors to break barriers and gain greater international recognition for women's sports," Ms. McCann noted after the event.

A huge congratulations to Ms. McCann and the team! 👏🏽

For more than two decades, Branksome Hall has had a longstanding relationship with the Get Ahead Project (GAP) School in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This partnership was initiated by philanthropist Peter Oliver and through the vision of Karrie Weinstock and Branksome Hall the partnership evolved to include annual Branksome Hall school visits to GAP, faculty mentorship and educational initiatives. This created a strong bond between the two schools.

On March 12, Karrie Weinstock, Branksome’s Head, Centre for Strategic Leadership, attended a special Assembly at the GAP School in South Africa where she was honoured with the Giraffe Award, recognition for an individual whose kindness, generosity and support has made a meaningful impact on the GAP community. 🦒💚
