Indigenous Recognition Statement

One of the four Values of St. Michaels University School is respect. With this in mind, we acknowledge that our school rests in the heart of Straits Salish territory, a living culture with its own rites, ceremonies, and unfolding history. We honour the Esquimalt, Songhees, and WSÁNEĆ peoples – whose homelands we share and whom we recognize as our neighbours.

Students take advantage of beautiful spring weather by getting outside to play a friendly game of chess.

The last few months have provided the opportunity for reflection on my first 1,000 days as Head of School. Notwithstanding recent disruptions, we have thoroughly enjoyed learning about and beginning to understand the broader SMUS community which we have found to be purposeful, productive and ripe for further momentum-building over the next 10 years of Floreat.

We were told on leaving the UK that we wouldn’t feel we had arrived in Canada until we had fallen asleep to the cry of the loon. We have now done that and even woken up to the glorious sight of a flight of pelicans landing… we have arrived.

It would be possible to make the story of COVID-19 the defining theme of our 2020-21 Report Card. To my mind that would be defeatist. In fact, all the disparate elements of our community have pulled together admirably to enable us to stay open and for our teaching and learning to be as inspiring as possible in the circumstances.

I have always advocated that interested observers or even critics of our school should judge on outcome. As our 170 graduating students crossed the stage in their two-cohort based livestreamed events, I was inspired by everything that they had achieved in always different and sometimes testing circumstances.

Over the course of the last 12 months, we have tried hard to build momentum from the successful launch of Floreat in January 2020. That energy has now resulted in the unanimous approval of the school’s new Campus Master Plan. In line with the notion that gracious places inspire gracious thoughts, we are keen to move forward with key infrastructure projects over the course of the next few years. These will be led by the refurbishment of the Junior School, which will ensure that the school is fit for purpose through to 2030 and beyond. Much work this year has been invested in the planning and preparation of this project.

� In many ways the story of the last year has been led by our Admissions department. We started the year uncertain as to how things would evolve. Nevertheless, as the months went by and travel restrictions lifted, boarding students returned allowing us to finish the year with record enrolment. The time and attention dedicated by Admissions to ensure that each individual student was encouraged over numerous obstacles to arrive at SMUS was impressive. The journey of many of our students in joining us is nothing short of inspiring.

� The year has also been characterized by much work and positive achievement on behalf of our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Working Group, which morphed into our Advisory Committee under the leadership of our guide, Dr. Moussa Magassa. This work has been supported by the contributions of enthusiastic volunteers representing faculty, alumni, students and parents, drawn from as broad a range of backgrounds as we could reasonably call upon. The EDI Advisory Committee has now coordinated the broadest-ever consultations launched on this topic at SMUS. We look forward to synthesizing some of the approximately 800 responses into a comprehensive plan in the coming year.

� Rigorous academic learning has always been at the heart of a SMUS education. This year, we were delighted that our Grade 11 and 12 students recorded our best-ever AP results. This allowed many to proceed to their first-choice universities, often among the leading competitive schools around the world. We were also pleased that $3.89 million was offered to them in scholarships. It seems that SMUS students are very much in demand when it comes to moving towards the broader horizons of post-secondary education.

� Director of Academics Denise Lamarche has been active in reviewing what it means to both teach and learn and SMUS. Plans have been moved forward to identify a Portrait of a Teacher and a Portrait of a Graduate. Much time has also been devoted to developing a vision to enhance the concept of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics).

Message from the Head of School


� Another defining feature of the year was the signing of a new 10-year Memorandum of Understanding with the SMUS Alumni Association. Months of work, valuable discussions, and a strong feeling that we wish to be totally united in moving forward in mutual best interest has resulted in a positive document to redefine this important relationship. I have always felt that if the more than 9,000 members of our broader alumni diaspora are advocating for the school, we can move mountains.

� Although their presence on campus was necessarily restricted, we remain deeply indebted to the Parents’ Auxiliary who continued to support the school in every way that was open to them.

� The year was also characterized for the first time ever by the adoption of a five-year Sustainability Budget. Rather than reviewing the school’s finances every year in isolation, we have decided to take a longer perspective to ensure that the school’s financial foundations remain strong and robust enough to meet the challenges of the Floreat strategic plan full on.

� One of the main pillars on which the Floreat strategic plan was based is sustainability. As a result, the Board of Governors convened a Sustainability Committee under the leadership and Chair of Katherine Tweedie ’84. This committee has now met and identified the next steps in addressing one of the key issues identified by students that should inform our decision making over the next few years. The Sustainability Committee has already started work to benchmark our environmental footprint.

� Over the course of this past year much work has been devoted to preparing for the launch of our Jubilee year. The celebration of the 50th anniversary combining St. Michael’s School (1910) and University School (1906) in 1971 gives us an opportunity to review our past, celebrate our present, and prepare for our future.

The focus of this report is always to look backwards and review the past year. I hope you will not think that it is premature of me to pay tribute to the leadership of our Board Chair, Tim McGee. Tim has been in post for the last two years and will be stepping down at the AGM in October. With the launch of Floreat and the unanimous approval of our Campus Master Plan setting out a clear path for the next 10 years, Tim’s time at the helm of the good ship SMUS may have been short but it has been pivotal. On a personal note, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I have been able to see firsthand how his meticulous attention to detail, his passion to provide the best possible education for the current generation of SMUS students, and his deep commitment to SMUS Values, have guided us through some of the biggest decisions we will have to make in a decade.

We wish Tim every success for the future and will remain indebted to him for his total commitment. At the beginning of each new year, I encourage students to commit to the simple notion of leaving SMUS a better place than they found it when they arrived. Tim has most definitely achieved on that.

In conclusion, it is clear that we live in a time of fast change and increasing uncertainty. I am constantly reminded of the importance of perspective. Over the course of the summer, Elizabeth and I travelled almost 5,000 km around northern British Columbia. On return, keen to see how much we had explored, we were shocked to see that we had covered just a pinprick on the map of Canada. So much more to explore, so much more to do.

Floreat!

The school community adapted incredibly well to the challenges of COVID-19, with almost all students at school 100% of the time.


Message from the Chair of the Board of GovernorsIt is a privilege and honour to report to you as Chair of the Board of Governors on the 2020-21 school year.

What stands out most to me about the past year is how well the entire school community got on with tasks at hand amidst the uncertainty and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The adaptability and determination of the students, faculty, staff and parents to make the year a successful one was both impressive and inspiring. It reminded me of my parents telling me to “just get on with it!” when I would procrastinate or hesitate when the best course of action was to just take on the challenge and do your best. The school community rose to the challenges this year, and the effort and successes are a testament to that spirit we know as ‘Vivat!’

The Board of Governors and its various committees had a busy and productive year focusing on its primary role of providing oversight, direction and support for Floreat, our 10-year strategic plan and vision for the school. Most notable among that work was the completion of a new Campus Master Plan including a plan to enhance and upgrade the Junior School facilities and a comprehensive new Enterprise Risk Management Plan to ensure that policies and procedures are in place to provide security and stability for all facets of school life.

It is also a fundamental responsibility of the Board of Governors to provide general financial stewardship over all financial resources of the school. Achieving and maintaining financial sustainability amidst the pressures of the pandemic and beyond was a focus of the Finance Committee and our strong management team and was central to all deliberations of the Board last year. The decisions taken and the adjustments made as a result of this work allow me to report that the school continues to enjoy a strong financial foundation and is well-positioned for the future.

The Board, through the work of the Governance Committee, presented to the Society at the October 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) a package of amendments to our bylaws designed to modernize and improve our governance practices. This was the culmination of several years of careful and thoughtful work and virtually all recommendations were approved by the Society at the AGM.

Two areas where the Board provided support and guidance on rapidly evolving key societal priorities was the establishment and support for an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee and the establishment of a Sustainability Committee of the Board. These two important initiatives will help the Board to set future strategic policy in these areas based upon informed, knowledge-based reflection and principled decision making.

The school benefits from the many and varied contributions of hundreds of volunteers. On behalf of the Board, I would like to pay special tribute to the Parents’ Auxiliary whose many initiatives and generosity even amidst the challenges of the pandemic have once again enriched school life. The Board was also very pleased to learn that through the significant efforts of our Head of School and the President of the SMUS Alumni Association (SMUSAA) there is a new long-term Memorandum of Understanding between SMUSAA and the school to guide and strengthen that important relationship.

In closing, on behalf of the Board of Governors, I would like to acknowledge and thank Head of School Mark Turner for his continued strong leadership and support, and to thank and acknowledge the contributions of all faculty, staff and students. On a personal note, as I step down from the Board after this year’s AGM, I want to say how grateful I am for the chance to serve the school and for all the support I have been given over the years. I wish my successor as Chair, David Longridge ’88, all the very best of success as he takes up his new role.

Looking ahead to the 2021-22 school year there is much to be excited about, including a return to some normality on campus, plans for the launch of our 50th Jubilee and, most importantly, living up to our Mission of providing our students with “outstanding preparation for life.”

Vivat!

Timothy E. McGee, QC Chair, SMUS Society Board of Governors

Admissions departments are privileged with a front-row seat to events occurring around the the world. The global pandemic that took hold for the entirety of the 2020-21 admissions and recruitment year provided a once-in-a-lifetime view for the Admissions team and the strong community of 1,035 students.

Trust was critical. Without in-person campus visits, admissions events, shadow opportunities and recruitment travel, prospective families placed a great deal of trust in what they read, heard and viewed on screens. As an international school with students from all over of the world, virtual recruitment became the new norm. Despite restrictions on travel and not being able to meet prospective families face-to-face, our virtual admissions efforts proved to be convenient and successful. Our orientation events this past September were especially exciting as the school was able to welcome all our new and returning students to campus.

Some of the year’s admissions highlights include:

� 102 new day students from more than two dozen area public and independent schools. New students came from many different preschools to high schools representing all municipalities in Greater Victoria. Additionally, SMUS welcomed several students who relocated to Victoria from within Canada and overseas.

� 121 new boarding students arrived from 28 different countries. Their journey to SMUS was especially complicated this year given the many additional requirements to enter Canada, including navigating the complex and changing government-mandated travel and quarantine regulations.

� This year’s group of new boarders is the largest in the school’s history. Included in this group are 11 boarders who were unable to travel to Canada for 2020 but were resolute in their determination to attend SMUS.

� Interest in boarding was especially strong during the 2020-21 recruitment year. This can be attributed to the global reputation SMUS enjoys, continuous in-class learning when so many countries and jurisdictions were not able to offer this to students, and recognition of Canada as a leader in education and safe destination during times of international crises.

� Demand for space at SMUS was highly competitive, resulting in a wait pool being used in key grades.

� September saw us welcome back 812 returning students. A measure of a school’s success is in returning students, and returning student numbers continue to grow annually. Total whole school retention for the year was more than 96%.

� In a year where we celebrate and mark our 50th Jubilee, an important historical milestone at SMUS, it is especially meaningful that within this year’s student community, there are 127 students with a direct alumni connection of one parent having been a student at SMUS. Indeed, some of these students not only have a parent connection but are the grandchild and great-grandchild of a SMUS alum who walked the halls of School House, some as far back as the early 1920s.

As Admissions looks to 2022, in line with Floreat, the goal is to remain a medium-sized school of about 1,000 students. It is important to ensure SMUS students continue to benefit from the highly personalized instruction that is a hallmark at SMUS. This means Admissions is looking at a year where Junior and Middle School applications are encouraged early and a highly competitive entry into Senior School with virtual recruitment for boarding again this fall.

Academic Achievements

Academic Highlights � We were fortunate that all our students experienced

uninterrupted in-person learning throughout the year, except for our Grade 2 classes, which navigated a COVID-19 exposure. They successfully moved to two weeks of online learning, and our parents’ feedback about that pivot was overwhelmingly positive.

� We redesigned a more student-centred timetable and were fortunate to maintain small teacher-student class size ratios.

� We were able to offer extracurricular programs and performing arts events in a variety of ways while maintaining restrictions.

� Our Grade 4 and 7 FSA results were strong, with the majority of our students in the ‘Proficient’ or ‘Extending’ category.

� Professional development and the continued capacity-building of our teachers are key to the strategic priority around inspiring teaching. Despite the lack of in-person professional learning and networking opportunities, we still had 48 teachers take part in virtual workshops, which was high for a year, when in other communities, this might be considered a low priority.

� Our graduating class finished with excellent results and offers of admission to finish off their SMUS journey. This class is remarkable as they finished their Grade 11 year learning remotely and then had a very different Grade 12 year due to many COVID-19 restrictions. See the University Acceptances pages for more information.

� More than 100 students participated in senior math competitions and 25 of our students ended up being in the top 1%.

� 46 Grade 7 and 8 students participated in the Waterloo University CEMC Beaver Computing Contest and 13 of those students were recognized with Distinctions.

� Results in the Gauss and Pascal mathematics contests were strong, with several students scoring in the outstanding achievement category.

� A Grade 11 student received a $1,000 grant from Nature Canada for the program she developed that will encourage local youth to understand and appreciate the outdoors at a summer camp.

� Three Grade 12 students earned a perfect score on one of their AP exams. Rin Audsabumrungrat earned all possible points in AP 3D Art and Design (1 of only 46 students worldwide), and Mido Luo and Fa Phanachet received perfect scores in AP Research (2 of only 375 students worldwide).

The 2020-21 academic year was a great success overall, especially following a previous term of remote learning due to the pandemic. Although we needed to adjust to cohorts, pods, staggered arrivals and dismissals, virtual assemblies and chapels, as well as altered timetables, there were many silver linings that developed over the year. We learned that our students are resilient, flexible, creative and we continued to forge ahead for successful and engaging learning experiences.

We are especially proud of our teaching faculty who continued to demonstrate their creativity and preparation for any potential disruption to in-person learning. Thankfully, except for one grade level, we remained in person all year long. Our teaching faculty continued to inspire our students in active learning and critical thinking.

Advanced Placement ResultsSMUS has the largest and longest-running AP program in Canada, and has consistently produced strong results. However, the 2020-21 year was special even by SMUS standards and highlights the academic success of the classes of 2021 and 2022.

Despite all the challenges of a global pandemic and resulting timetable changes, the perseverance and adaptability of SMUS students was much in evidence. 2021 saw our best-ever results. In taking 457 exams, 237 SMUS students recorded an exceptionally high AP average of 4.1, where normally SMUS students score on average between 3.6 and 3.9. Furthermore 43% of exams were scored as the top mark of 5, described by the College Board as “extremely well-qualified” for university studies.

Credit for this success goes to the students and their AP teachers but it is also a recognition of the full Kindergarten to Grade 12 program. Many AP students have been with SMUS since Junior and Middle School where the foundation for AP success is laid.

Athletics at St. Michaels University School looked much different in the 2020-21 school year with COVID-19 protocols in place. Health and safety measures including cohorting, masking and physical distancing forced some creative problem solving to offer a solution to a pandemic athletics program.

We are very pleased to report that despite the challenges, SMUS Athletics was able to offer almost a full complement of sport offerings from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Student participation rates were high, and along with a commitment from our talented team of coaches, a memorable program was delivered.

Athletics

The Middle School hosted a SMUS-only track meet at the University of Victoria, where students had the opportunity to compete in a variety of events.

Junior School students continued to develop a passion for sport.


Above left: Cohorted athletes at the Senior School had the opportunity to play co-ed team sports against students from the same grade, including volleyball, basketball, soccer and rugby.

Above right: Participation in Junior School sports was high, as students were keen to gain new skills in different sports throughout the school year.

“Parents working together to support excellence in education.”

The SMUS Parents’ Auxiliary is a non-profit society made up of SMUS parents and guardians. Our primary objective is to create a strong, vibrant community through events, fundraising and supporting each other as our children learn and grow. One-hundred-percent volunteer run, we welcome all parents to participate.

Any funds we raise support the school and its community. In addition, the Parents’ Auxiliary President sits on the SMUS Board of Governors to contribute our voice to policy-making and the strategic direction of our school.

In accordance with one of our school’s strategic directions, we have concentrated our activities and events on intentional community building. Our goal is to foster the strongest sense of belonging and connection we can.

Community Engagement � During years when we are not limited by the restriction of

COVID-19, we enjoy hosting social activities through the year such as: coffee mornings, pub nights, dinner parties, parent receptions, a Quiz Night fundraiser, and the ever-popular SMUS Family Gala and silent auction. This past year we hosted a variety of online social events, including family night cooking classes with the London Chef and online wine tasting.

� The PA hosted a virtual education evening with Dr. Michael Ungar, the founder and Director of the Resilience Research Centre at Dalhousie University. His talk on “The Risk-Taker’s Advantage: How to Make Kids More Resilient by not Overprotecting Them” was informative and engaging.

� In non-COVID-19 years we enjoy hosting spring staff appreciation lunches at both campuses however this year these events were curtailed. Boxed take-away catered lunches were instead provided for all three schools.

Services � We continued to run our popular back-to-school used uniform sale,

however monthly used uniform sales were mostly eliminated due to COVID-19 restrictions. These sales were missed, as they provide families access to lower-cost uniforms and athletic wear while raising funds for our school and fostering a spirit of environmental sustainability.

� We ran weekly lunch programs at all three schools as soon as COVID-19 restrictions allowed us to do so.

� To support our boarding students, we offered birthday treat delivery services. We hope to be able to return to organizing activities such as Boarders Without Borders dinner parties in our homes, and inviting students for homestays during holidays and school breaks.

Philanthropy � Our scholarship fund within the school endowment continued to

support our fourth named scholar, who graduated in 2021. We will look to continue to offer this support to a new student named in the 2021-22 academic year.

� We continued to contribute to financial aid, donating $20,000 in the 2020-21 school year.

� We provided funding to all three schools for projects identified by staff and students to provide enhanced opportunities for students across a broad spectrum. A total of $43,000 was allocated. Examples of projects funded are materials for the Robotics Club, software for computer science enrichments in the Middle School, photography equipment, a new laminator for the Junior School and an electronic scheduling board for the Senior School gymnasium. Also included in this amount is up to $20,000 for material costs associated with the Indigenous Scholar program, from which a welcome pole will be carved for the Richmond Road campus.

� We contributed graduation funding grants to support Grades 5, 8 and 12 class celebrations to mark these important rites of passage.

The PA contributed materials to the Robotics Club.

Our rich history continues to mark significant milestones! In 115 years, we have celebrated our fair share, between University School (founded in 1906), St. Michael’s School (founded in 1910) and the amalgamated ’new’ organization which became St. Michaels University School in 1971. As we look back on the 2020-21 school year in this report, we do so at a time when we are beginning a year of celebrations to mark our 50th Jubilee – 50 years since the amalgamated school came to be. We sincerely hope to welcome our alumni back on campus for some in-person celebrations in the year ahead.

Although our roots are planted in Victoria, British Columbia, our alumni family tree stretches far and wide, and continues to grow. In 2020, we expanded our alumni family to include past parents and past staff and faculty. Formerly referred to as the Codgers group, our past staff and faculty have recently been invited to accept the newly minted honorific of “Faculty Emeriti” of SMUS (“Faculty Emeritus” individually).

In 2021, we celebrated our largest-ever graduating class, welcoming 170 new alumni to the family. The 2021-22 student population is at full capacity with 1,035 day and boarding students from 30 different nationalities. In this group, a record number of 127 students are children of either one or two alumni parents! With 350 current staff and faculty and more than 650 retired staff and faculty, we are looking forward to celebrating our Jubilee year where our entire broad SMUS community can connect, share and learn from each other’s experiences during their journeys with SMUS.

Our school would not be what it is without the support and strong ties with our alumni community. This connected community is, in turn, supported by the Alumni Relations office at the school, and the SMUS Alumni Association Board.

The Alumni Relations office is part of the Advancement department at SMUS. It is responsible for providing alumni with ways to network, learn from each other and connect with our global alumni community, and with the school.

The Alumni Association’s Board of Trustees is made up of volunteers who represent alumni interests and seek to conserve the school’s heritage. The Alumni Association is a separate society with its own constitution, and works independently of, but in collaboration with, the school’s administration and Board of Governors.

Memorandum of UnderstandingOn May 26, 2021, the Alumni Association and the school signed a new 10-year Memorandum of Understanding to help guide and inspire our shared commitment to alumni globally. The agreement outlines the shared objectives, roles, responsibilities and commitments of the two Societies with an overarching commitment of connecting alumni to each other and to the school, and replaces the 2009 agreement.

The Board of the SMUS Alumni Association have renewed their commitment to the SMUS alumni network through such programs as the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Alumni Mentorship Program, and (in normal times) an array of events and activities that engage our alumni around the world. Congratulations and thanks are extended to the Board for their dedication to all things alumni, and, in particular, to Samantha Stone ’87 (Chair), Christopher Devlin ’86 and Neil Mulholland ’88 for their hard work in developing this new agreement.

We work collaboratively to:

� Create engagement opportunities that are valued by alumni

� Build enduring and mutually beneficial relationships

� Inspire loyalty and financial support as able

� Strengthen pride in SMUS’s reputation

� Involve alumni in meaningful activities which also advance the SMUS Mission and Vision

Highlight activities and events of 2020-21SMUS CONNECT Our alumni around the globe are connecting with each other and with the school through our exclusive online networking platform, SMUS Connect (smusconnect.com). Since its launch in October 2018, more than 1,300 alumni have joined to find and reminisce with fellow classmates, give back through mentorship and business opportunities, and share updates and events happening all around the world.

MENTORSHIP 2020 saw the official launch of AMP, our Alumni Mentorship Program. AMP is a commitment from the school to provide meaningful school-community connections for life. With more than 5,600 connected alumni working in myriad careers and around the world, AMP makes it possible for community members to connect to support professional development, amplifying their networks and success. Facilitated through SMUS Connect, we currently have 870 alumni who have indicated they are ’willing to help’ by participating as a potential mentor. The 2021-22 school year will see our Grade 10-12 students joining our mentorship program as part of their Career Education curriculum.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD This year’s Distinguished Alumni Award sought nominations celebrating the resilience, talents and dedication in the many ways our alumni have confronted the COVID-19 pandemic. The past year has marked an unprecedented time, and as a result, St. Michaels University School and its alumni took a different and broader approach to the award this year. Part of the spirit of the award was to celebrate all alumni’s responses and the unsung heroes, such as the many first responders. We asked our school community to nominate alumni who deserve to be highlighted.

The following alumni are the names received by the Distinguished Alumni Committee:

Leah Balter ’17 Brianne Bentzon Budlovsky ’04 William Cunningham ’77 Gargee Ghosh ’93 Carl Swanson ’03

ALUMNI MILESTONE REUNIONS In early May, during what would have been our Alumni Weekend celebration, we had the pleasure of hosting 10 Classes via Zoom to recognize their milestone reunions. As we were unable to hold in-person events for the past two Alumni Weekends we wanted to offer something to mark the occasion for each class celebrating their 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50-Year milestones. Over five days, we hosted more than 140 alumni virtually. Each class was different in that some were only a few and others filled the screen and chat rooms. Slideshows were created for each class and we held a “What was happening in…?” trivia quiz for each year. Although it does not compare to the real thing, it was wonderful to engage with our alumni again, many of whom had not seen each other or been back to the school since graduation day. It was heartwarming to see how quickly everyone started connecting and sharing memories.

The Floreat strategic plan clearly articulates our shared goal of ensuring a robust culture of philanthropy in our school:

“Our broader culture of philanthropy is integral to deliver on this strategic plan and must be

celebrated among our Board of Governors, and with staff, faculty, parents and alumni. Our goal is to increase financial aid capacity, support the campus master plan and grow our endowment, all through

a major fundraising campaign. It is an ambitious yet realistic plan to meet the investment needed to place SMUS at the forefront of Canadian education.”

2020-21 was indeed a robust year for fundraising at SMUS, despite the constraints we experienced due to COVID-19, which prevented us from gathering together and from travelling to meet with those not in Victoria. This bodes well for the even more ambitious plans we have for the coming school year and beyond, and which we hope will engage even greater numbers of our broad, global community.

The work of Advancement is supported by a volunteer committee of the Board. Their leadership and support is of great value, and they are listed here.

The Advancement department includes fundraising services, alumni relations, marketing and communications, and archives. In addition to the staff listed below right, the Wilson Archives is ably supported by a team of long-standing and dedicated volunteers, notably including Rob Wilson, Michael Nation ’71, Louise Winter, Monica Jackson and others.

The Annual Appeal is the barometer of our school’s philanthropic potential; it is a foundational element of our financial sustainability as an organization of stature and longevity.


Financial Aid at SMUSAnother goal contained within Floreat is to continue to raise donations in support of financial aid as a competitive advantage in our Admissions recruitment and retention.

Last year, $1.9 million was awarded in both financial aid and merit scholarships to qualified students. not including the students of staff and faculty, who also greatly enrich our community. Nearly $400,000 was raised towards this amount from a very successful Annual Appeal in 2020-21, and a further $581,988 came from our endowment funds. These amounts benefited students in all three schools.

The support of more than 576 donors in 2020-21 contributed almost $2.7 million to a wide variety of needs at the school. These gifts came from donations to the Annual Appeal, to endowment funds and financial aid, and to capital projects.

Vivat FoundationIn 2017, the Vivat Foundation replaced two earlier foundations at SMUS that had served the school to that point in time. The key purpose of the Vivat Foundation is to provide financial management and distribution of the school’s endowed funds, working in close collaboration and alignment with the Board of Governors of SMUS by way of a common mission and vision, and with the Advancement department of the school.

The Vivat Foundation board has regularly scheduled meetings during the school year to review the reports of the funds’ professional managers and to review possible changes to the funds’ asset mix to ensure strong rates of return.

Our EndowmentThe endowment is made up of multiple individual funds that have been established over decades of generous philanthropic support by many members of the SMUS community. These donated funds are held within the Vivat Foundation and managed by our investment managers at Connor, Clark & Lunn, guided by a board-approved investment policy. To date, 75 named endowment funds have been created, supporting a variety of initiatives, primarily centring on financial aid (sometimes referred to as bursaries) and scholarships. Financial aid is both merit-based and needs-based, and is a core strategic commitment by SMUS to ensure accessibility to our school for exceptional students who otherwise would not be able to attend and benefit from the breadth and quality of our programming. Scholarships are those funds established to make a financial award based on merit or other achievements.

How Do These Endowed Funds Support SMUS?The total market value of the endowed funds under management within the Vivat Foundation as of June 30, 2021 was $17,760,949. Thanks to the generosity of our community, $681,522 in new endowed fund donations was contributed in 2020-21, adding to our ability to award financial aid and scholarships. Over the past five years, the endowed funds have grown more than 52% by way of new donations and careful investment. In fiscal 2020-21 the amount contributed by the Vivat Foundation to the school was $581,988. This contribution by the Vivat Foundation minimizes the overall cost of financial aid and scholarship commitments that are made annually by the school as part of its diversity, retention and recruitment strategies.

Our Commitment to You

We will invest wisely. We will respect your wishes.

We will honour your generosity.

Planned Giving at St. Michaels University School has been instrumental over many decades in supporting facilities and programs. The recently launched Legacy Circle formally celebrates those donors who have made their bequest intentions known to us.

The generosity of those members of our community who have joined the Legacy Circle will be transformational to the long-term financial sustainability of our school. They will be celebrated annually at a Legacy Circle formal dinner once we are able to gather together again, and will serve as inspiration to us all. Currently we have more than 20 new bequest donors to induct into the Legacy Circle. Our Planned Giving program, Legacy Circle, has been transformative for our school.

Please reach out to speak with a member of the Advancement department about how to join the Legacy Circle. More information about planned giving at SMUS is available at smus.ca/plannedgiving.

Treasurer’s Report and FinancialsOn behalf of the Finance Committee and the Board of Governors, I am pleased to report that the school’s auditors have once again issued an unqualified report to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. A summarized statement of operating revenue and expenses is included with this report.

As a not-for-profit organization, the school strives for a balanced annual operating budget where revenues are equal to expenses. The end of the 2019-20 school year saw operational challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had fiscal implications as well, since actions were taken to quickly mobilize an online learning platform while ensuring our spending to end the year was as efficient as possible.

For the 2021 fiscal year, there was a small gross operating surplus of $11,926 (2020: $14,372) after inter-fund transfers including a $3.1 million transfer to reserve for future use as approved by the Board of Governors. (In 2020 a total of $2.2 million was transferred to reserve.)

The school continues to prioritize affordability, especially as we go forward during this pandemic. In fiscal 2021, a total of $2.8 million (2020: $2.7 million) was made available to families through financial aid and staff bursaries. Financial aid is funded from several sources, including endowment funds, the Annual Appeal and school operations.

A major financial priority for 2022 will be to ensure the delivery of the highest quality programs to our students within a sustainable operating budget, given these uncertain times. A strong fiscal 2021 is a critical success factor in meeting this goal. Some key items in respect to the school ’s financial strength in 2021 are:

� The school’s financial position remained strong with combined net fund balances of more than $39.2 million (2020: $34.8 million) including $30.8 million (2020: $30.8 million) in capital funds.

� The school’s long-term debt stands at $6.1 million (2020: $7.5 million) with annual debt-servicing costs representing 3.4% (2020: 3.6%) of gross operating revenue, which is well within the 10% allowed under the society’s bylaws.

Full audited financial statements of the school are available by request.
