Havergal Athletics

Physical education played a strong role in the Havergal curriculum from the very beginning. By 1902 the gym had been outfitted in the most cutting-edge system for women's physical training: Delsarte. This Swedish system was more holistic in approach, fostering overall wellbeing, rather than just muscle development. Girls utilized a series of barbells, ladders and gymnastic horses to hone balance and dexterity.

By 1909, student teams such as basketball, hockey and cricket, were able for the first time to play other Toronto-area girls' schools and colleges, such as Bishop Strachan, Branksome Hall, and St Hilda's.

Trips Outside the School

Havergal boarding school students were encouraged to immerse themselves in appropriate cultural activities in the city, when time allowed. The music and art focus of much of the curriculum meant that many of the excursions from the campus were in the same vein.

Other informal outings and expeditions were also very popular with students. Ellen Knox would later recall:

"Every Saturday, if you were at Havergal, you would see bands of girls, six or eight in number, in blue skirts and jumpers, starting out on exploration tours, cooking over camp fires, hunting for butterflies and flowers, learning about trees and rocks, making their way east and west, down the Humber, away to Scarborough, along the old Belt Line, wherever their leaders chose to take them."
