3 | TRILLIUM 2020 REDEFINING SUCCESS EMBRACING MENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING TO INCREASE STUDENT LEARNING & ENGAGEMENT

MARLA PINSLER, M.Ed., M.S.o.c. Senior School Counsellor, Post-Secondary Advisor The better we feel, the better we do. We have no doubt heard this expression many times, but what does it really mean for us at The Study? There are copious amounts of research which prove that a focus on mental health and well-being within an academic setting has a constructive impact on academic performance. That alone should be reason enough to implement a culture of care and well-being at a school, but it is the other numerous benefits and lessons which have a more profound impact on the individual, their learning and their future self. in theclassroom Wellness Wednesday: activities promoting promoting activities Wednesday: Wellness self-care and the value of downtime; of value the and self-care for faculty to monitorfor work-load; faculty A common assessment calendar calendar assessment A common leadership role is being created; being is role leadership WELLNESS INITIATIVES:WELLNESS No weekends; homework Wellness Prefect: a new anew Prefect: Wellness SOME STUDY STUDY SOME Fewer bells STUDENTS (LTOR)MAXINE POSITIVITY ABOUNDS, ASSCIENCE THE LATEST INGRADE9CHEMISTRY.

5 | TRILLIUM 2020 INSPIRATION WEEK t The Study, we have always enjoyed bringing new techniques, CREATING methodologies and tools into the classroom; a combination of risk-taking Aand excitement sometimes followed by fears of the teachers and the girls! Sometimes our fears AUTHENTIC get the best of us, but we are constantly working on finding a balance between the love and fear of taking risks. LEARNING As part of the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools annual conference, Dream, Dare, Do: Girls as Makers, Inventors, Engineers, and Entrepreneurs, we learned that it is important to EXPERIENCES name your fears in order to gain perspective. Low student engagement, reactions from parents and AMANDA LISTE, Elementary School Director decreased test scores are just a few of the fears that plague all teachers. Having these conversations TO BUILD A CULTURE WHERE RISK-TAKING IS ENCOURAGED FOR STUDENTS, WE NEED TO BE WILLING TO TRY NEW THINGS. BY TAKING RISKS, WE DEMONSTRATE THAT NOT EVERYTHING WORKS AS PLANNED AND PROVE THAT WE CAN BE RESILIENT IN ANY SITUATION. UNFORTUNATELY, STUDENTS DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE THIS MINDSET. MANY BELIEVE THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT ANY FAILURE THEY ENCOUNTER WILL BE DEVASTATING. THIS VIEWPOINT CAN HINDER LEARNING.

DEAR MEMBERS OF THE STUDY FAMILY,

ver recent years, The Study has undergone transformation in achieving O financial autonomy thanks to the support of our Study family. Building on this distinction, the school continues to explore innovative ways to enhance and enrich our students’ experience by embracing dynamic and impactful pedagogical approaches. Run, Jump, Slide, Skip, Dance, Debate, Orate. Enhancing our outdoor spaces responds to these aspirations by transforming our landscape into fun, inspiring, and creative venues to be used by students of all ages. Not all hustle and bustle — they also offer distinct moments for emotional restoration and physical well-being through intimate and immediate immersion and connection with nature. Our mountainside site offers exceptional untapped potential to define varied spaces nestled into the slope: slides, climbing surfaces, play structures, amphitheatres, running track and shady ‘sous-bois’ rain garden seating... This is not your standard playground. In keeping with Ms. Gascoigne’s desire to ‘Teach things that really matter’, intertwining and aligning exterior play and pedagogical spaces with the ecology of The Study’s rich natural setting, right in the heart of the city, fundamentally supports our educational pillars and sustainable aspirations while ultimately inspiring spontaneous and nature-based curiosity and creativity. Over the lifeline trajectory in the evolution of a school there are legacy moments that bring the community together to dream and create something larger than the moment itself. This is one of those moments — an opportunity to define and take full advantage of a unique and exceptional aspect of our garden-city setting defining exterior learning grounds to support and inspire the Study girls of today and of tomorrow. This bold initiative offers much and varied potential to have a profound impact on our students and our community — this is exciting and inspiring to me as a parent, Study Old Girl, and Board member. I hope you will join me in supporting this exceptional expansion project.
