INTRODUCTION

We are pleased to present our 6th Annual Report Card, reporting on the successes andachievements of the school year 2012-2013.

Once again this year the Report Card has three distinct sections. The first is a report on the progress of PC’s Strategic Plan. The second section is the presentation of our key performance indicators (KPIs) in the six uniqueareas that define healthy schools. The third section is our financial accountability report,including a summary of our financial statementsfor the fiscal year 2012-2013. Overall, we believe this provides a detailed, informative, comprehensive and transparent account of the well-being of the school in a broad range of areas.

We are particularly pleased with our progress this past year. Our Key Performance Indicators reveala high level of success in many significant areas of the school and show a level of accomplishmentas good as or better than any year previously. Board, administration, staff and parent leadershipand participation are robust and provide a solid foundation for the programs and plans we areundertaking. Student achievement is outstanding – in all areas of school life – ensuring our graduates are well prepared for success after they leave the school. In addition, engagement andsatisfaction among all constituents has never been higher. All of these things strengthen theschool, our financial position and our sustainability into the future.

In addition, our strength in all of these areas provides a solid foundation for the implementation of our strategy for the future. We are exceedingly well positioned to move forward. The roll out of our Global Leadership Program and Facilities Master Plan attest to the innovative, creative andbold steps we are taking to more clearly define ourselves and our unique qualities while preparingourselves and our students to meet the future with fervour.

We hope you enjoy and benefit from reading this Report Card. As always, your feedback andcomments are greatly appreciated and help us to do an even better job with each passing year.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

As Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, I am delighted to report on the work that has been done this past year on PC’s five-year strategic plan. We have continued to see momentum build in manyaspects of the plan and implementation is well underway.

PC Highlights from 2012-2013The aim of PC’s Strategic Plan is to provide an inspired learning environment for our students, innovativespaces in which to learn and grow, an outstanding environment for our faculty and staff and an unparalled community experience that engages everyone in a lifetime relationship with the school.

Pickering College is on the threshold of a new phase in its remarkable history. The past three years haveseen much work on the strategic plan and, more recently, a significant shift from planning to majorimplementation in our academic program and our physical space.

Highlights include:

• Professional development for our faculty on 21st-century skills: assessment and evaluation, andunderstanding by design;

• Implementation of five key 21st-century skills for Pickering College students: communication, collaboration, character, creativity and critical thinking in all curriculum, JK to Grade 12;

• Launch of our Middle School program;

• Launch of our Outdoor Education program at the Blue and Silver Farm;

• Launch of our Leader in Residence program;

• Launch of our Global Leadership Program; and

• Development of our Facilities Master Plan.

In April 2013 the Board made three important decisions that bring clarity to, and support, our strategicdirections:

• Pickering College will remain in its current location;

• The school will continue to be a small school, growing to just under 500 students; and

• Pickering College will remain a day and boarding school, recognizing the critical importance of theinternational boarding community and national community to our goal of creating global citizens.

The Facilities Master Plan is a bold and ambitious plan – it is also thoughtful, detailed and has been well researched and prepared. With the PC Board of Directors’ endorsement, we are now ready to moveforward and realize our vision.

Charles Beer, Chair Strategic Planning Steering Committee

LEADERSHIP

Healthy schools are leaders in education; they have a strategic board, strong leadership from the headmaster and senior administration, a community of leaders among the faculty and staff, and opportunities for learning leadership for the students. Healthy schools have a manageable number ofunderstood, commonly shared goals, a culture where disciplined thought and action meet, collaborativeand democratic planning and decision making, and high expectations of all in the community.

Commentary:

Leadership remains at the heart of the school and the work we do. Board and Corporation leadershipthroughout the implementation of the Strategic Plan has been inspiring and the increasing commitment to the school, as measured by support for annual giving, demonstrates to the entire school community their dedication to the school and our ambitious goals. The higher than usual turnover in Board membersbrought with it an injection of new perspectives and skills that have been crucial in the delivery of our strategy. And the KPIs for both staff and student leadership reflect the continued development of leadershipskills across our entire community.

UNIQUE QUAL ITY

Healthy schools have a broadly understood Mission and a shared Vision; they have a strong sense ofcommunity, guided by a unique purpose for which all members are passionate, and about which theybelieve they can be unequalled. Healthy schools offer unique learning opportunities not necessarily available at other schools.

Commentary:

In an ever-increasingly competitive educational market, it is critically important for independent schools to be distinguishing themselves from one another and from public schools. Pickering College’s unique quality is founded in its Quaker heritage, its sense of community, its focus on values education and serviceto others, its international boarding program and its innovative approach to program delivery. While measuring “uniqueness” is always a little problematic, the KPIs listed above capture some sense of whatallows our school to stand apart from others.

It is always refreshing to review the annual staff satisfaction survey and see the response to the questionabout whether staff believe we serve a greater purpose than “just educating students.” When 92% of ourstaff believe that, it is a sign that not only do they see the mission coming to life in the job they do eachday, but that what they do at Pickering College has purpose and meaning. When one can believe that,then one finds great satisfaction in the work they do.

Our other KPIs – that reflect service, community, and diversity – all remain strong.

PEOPLE

Healthy schools focus on their people – faculty and staff, creating a professional, growth-oriented, collaborative culture focused on learning, in which all members feel respected and encouraged in anenvironment that embraces fun. Healthy schools have dedicated, passionate, high-quality staff forwhom professional development and long-term sustainability are keys to motivating students andpreparing them for success in post-secondary education, in the global community, and in life.

Commentary:

Some degree of continuity of staff is an important indicator of any organization’s health, since longer-termemployees contribute to building the desired culture, save costs of recruiting and build institutional memory.Although staff turnover seems high at 10% (11 staff), five of the departures were Associate Faculty, whowhile performing a vital function in our school environment, are drawn away to public schools by the promiseof full-time employment. One of our staff, sadly, passed away suddenly and another long-term teacher retired.

Although the school continues to invest a considerable amount in professional development, and that investment increased this year, it still remains below the level of prior years before cost-savings were required.Our approach to professional development has shifted somewhat, with more in-house expertise used and staff bringing back what they learned and sharing it with colleagues. Although this is often more effective,and more cost-effective, many staff are more used to the traditional model of professional development being equated with courses, conferences and workshops. Needless to say, this may reflect the decline in theperception of faculty who believe learning for all employees is encouraged at the school.



STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN LEARNING

Commentary:

It was an outstanding year for our students. The previous pages reveal a multitude of academic and co-curricular highlights and the KPIs above reveal that the school continues to inspire our students to achieve great things.

We are particularly pleased with our student retention, always the most honest measure of parent and student satisfaction. While full school retention was almost 90%, day school retention actually topped 94% and boarding retention achieved our target of 77%. When one considers that this retention includesthose boarding students who only intend to attend for one year, it is another excellent indicator of thedegree of satisfaction our boarding families have with the school.

We had an another outstanding graduating class, 83% of whom were Ontario Scholars and all were accepted to the university or college of their choice. This year we also began the CAIS National TrackingProject, so that we will be able to measure our graduating students success in university and compare that success to the national trends.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Healthy schools are characterized by a strong reputation and involvement with their broader community, created through community outreach, encouraging parental and alumni involvement and support and collaborative planning, decision-making and communication.

Commentary:

Community Engagement... reputation... is a difficult thing to measure directly. Thus the KPIs on this page are really just proxies (substitutes/representations) for anything that can truly measure reputation. In this case, the KPIs are related to admissions activity and support for the school through Annual Fundparticipation. With respect to Admissions, there are some interesting trends. In total we enroled 97 newstudents for September 2013 and met our budget targets as a result. The Admissions Yield rate droppedslightly, which is a reflection of the increasingly competitive nature of our independent school world.Moreover, it is a reflection of the importance of financial aid; whereby many of our offers of admission were declined because more financial aid was offered at a competitor school. On the other hand, the offers made per application are down, reflecting the school’s ability to be more selective in our offers andthereby enrolling the students who are most mission-appropriate.

Perhaps led by the incredible dedication of our staff yet again, support for the Annual Fund increasedamong parents and alumni. These investments not only make a significant difference to our operatingbudget, but they also reveal the great commitment our parents and alumni have for the well-being of the school.



Healthy schools have a solid financial position and a strategic financial plan to ensure long-termsustainability.

Commentary:

Our year-end fiscal position reveals a year of significant turnaround from the previous year and improvedresults in almost every area. These results are explained in more detail in the Financial Accountability section that follows, but a few key points can be highlighted here. In particular, we are pleased that ouroperating surplus as a percentage of operating expenses reached its highest level since 2008. One of ourkey goals is to keep tuition revenue a smaller percentage of total revenue. Ironically, despite a 5% tuitionincrease, the proportion of revenues that comes from fees remains very low, reflecting a real commitmenton the school’s part to generate revenues from other sources and keep tuition as affordable as possible.

We are also very pleased with the return earned on our endowments. This provides more money to theschool to be able to fund financial aid – scholarships and bursaries – and the results reveal that more families than ever were supported by financial aid this year. The more we are able to do this, the more wecan focus on enrolling mission-appropriate students, despite the cost.

Overview:The academic and fiscal year ending June 30, 2013has been a very successful one for Pickering College(PC). Our excess of revenue over expenses for theyear was $126,386 as compared to the prior yeardeficiency of ($988,568) and budget of ($223,620).

It is clear that the investment and execution of our Strategic Plan is working. Our budget was created in alignment with the Strategic Plan andwas based on the priorities identified through the strategic planning process. Growth in our enrolment numbers balanced with the investmentin our people and our programs, while increasingtraditional and new revenue sources has resulted in generating an operating surplus.

For the fiscal year 2013, PC targeted an excess of revenues over expenses of $188,380 beforeamortization, interest and unrealized gains andachieved an actual result of $383,631 (versus prior year deficit of ($499,989)). With our overalladmission being short of plan by two students, our surplus should have resulted in a miss to ourtarget. Instead, our auxiliary and other income revenue came above budget along with significantreductions in our facility costs and other discretionary spending, which allowed our overallsurplus to exceed target and prior year withoutcompromising our investment in our people and programs.

PC had planned on 387 students (374 students in2012) with 100 boarding students (87 students in 2012) and 287 day students (287 students in2012). Our actual enrolment for 2013 resulted in 385 students which was two students short of our target. While we exceeded our day students enrolment target by two, we fell short of our boarding enrolment by four. As a result this, theimpact would have hurt the planned surplus by$60,000. This outstanding achievement could not have been made without the incredible efforts of our Admissions Team.

Audit and Year End Results:The 2013 audit was successfully completed byGrant Thornton. As you review PC’s 2013 audited

financial statements, please note that the auditorshave provided a clean opinion.

For the 2013 year, PC is reporting an excess of revenues over expenses of $383,631 before longterm debt expenses of ($76,429), net amortizationcosts of ($305,304) and net unrealized gain oninvestments of $124,488. In summary, after deducting the long term debt expenses and amortization costs and adding the unrealized gains from investments, PC is reporting an excess of revenues over expenses of $126,386 ($988,568in 2012).

The 2013 operating results are before capital expenditures. During 2013, there were several capital projects underway for a total budget of$485,000. These projects included the PillarsRestoration and Accessibility, Arena flat roof replacement and some other capital purchases (ie. laptops). In total, capital expenditures during2013 were $422,363. Some of the projects beganin June 2012, and in total $483,481 was spentagainst a budget of $485,000.

RevenuesIn 2013, PC reported total tuition and other program related revenues of $12,493,238 on 385 students. This compares to $11,410,143 on374 students in 2012.

In 2013, the actual enrollment was 385 studentsconsisting of 96 boarders and 289 day students.This was an increase from 2012 when we had 374students of which 87 were boarders and 287 wereday students. Of the $12.5 million, $11.1 million represents the tuition and fee revenue. Tuition andfee revenue increased $1 million from 2012, whichreflects 11 more students coupled with a 5.0%tuition increase.

In terms of diversifying our revenue sources, a target of 90% of total revenue to come from tuition and fees and 10% from other sources is thenational benchmark. In 2013, parents paid tuitionand fees representing 84.2% (83.7% in 2012) ofPC’s total revenue. Auxiliary programs represents to 8.2% (8.8% in 2012), investment income represented 2.0% (1.6% in 2012) and donations

and fundraising revenue was 2.8% (3.1% in 2012)of total income. Finally rental and other income represented 2.8% (2.6% in 2012) of total income.

During 2013, there continued to be a focus onbuilding the school’s philanthropic culture. With avery dedicated volunteer group and PC communitya total of $636,000 was raised, which was consistentwith $633,000 raised in 2012. In 2013 we did nothave an active capital campaign. Our 2013 fundsraised can be broken down as follows:

• $381,000 was raised in annual giving ofwhich $292,000 was in unrestricted giving;

• $252,000 was donated to endowments;

• $3,000 was raised in support of capital.

In partnership with a dedicated Development Team the thousands of volunteer hours contributed byour parents and alumni make these results possible.In addition to this, there are countless donations ofgifts-in-kind that also make our success possible. In 2013, PC received an outstanding amount ofgifts-in-kind estimated at $165,000 in ($85,000 in2012), which especially contributes to the successof our special events.

With respect to the Annual Fund, including participation in events supporting annual giving,our Board of Directors continue to lead the waywith 100% participation followed by 80% of theCorporation currently contributing. Faculty and staff participation is 80%, while parents have a participation rate of 44% and 4% of our alumnicontribute to annual giving.

Endowments in 2013 grew by $252,724, notablywith the establishment of one new fund: the Keith“Booker” McLaren math fund. Other significantdonations to our existing funds include the Springfamily scholarships, the Joseph McCulley memorialfund and the Barney Jackson memorial fund.

Long term investment income earned during 2013totaled $270,963 ($173,308 in 2012). The longterm investment portfolio earned a 7.6% rate ofreturn in 2013 as compared to 4.0% in 2012. Itshould be noted that of the $270,963 of investmentincome, $54,849 ($49,665 in 2012) was paid inmanagement fees. As part of our ASNPO reporting,

it should be noted that all of the income earned onthe long term investments is recognized as incomein the year that it is earned. The income is thentransferred to the Restricted for Endowment purposes in the net asset section of the balancesheet. In addition, the change in the unrealized gain(loss) on the investments is also recognized on theStatement of Operations and transferred to theRestricted for Endowment net asset. During fiscal2013 the increase in unrealized gain on investmentswas $124,488 (loss of ($78,635) in 2012. In total,$281,269 ($188,950 in 2012) was withdrawn tofund awarded scholarships and bursaries and otherendowed purposes.

Rental and other income of $363,995 in 2013 hasincreased from $319,927 in 2012 primarily as aresult of renting more campus housing and someone time refunds. The 2013 budget for rental andother income was $300,000.

Deferred educational program revenue representsthe recognition of donations that have been givenfor specific purposes. In 2013, PC recognized$80,886 ($23,007 in 2012) in revenue, primarilyfrom donations in support of scholarships and bursaries. The amount to be recognized varies fromyear to year depending on the donations received.

and bursaries ($189,500 in 2012. To fund theseawards, $271,000 was drawn from the income on endowed funds and $49,000 was received inrestricted annual giving donations.

As our endowments grow, our ability to award more scholarships and bursaries will also increase. A healthy endowment and a strong financial aidprogram are a key strategy to attracting and retaining mission appropriate students and potentially relieving tuition increase pressures and affordability concerns for families in the future. Once again, this focuses attention on our fundraising and donations program as that is how we grow our endowments.

Advancement costs (Admission, Development,Alumni and Parent Relations and Communications)have grown by 5.4% over last year, totaling$1,229,517 ($1,165,938 in 2012). The focus wason revising PC’s brand as a result of the strategicplan and the development of new marketing materials as well as more advertising and otherrecruitment initiatives to support an increased enrolment for the academic year 2013-2014.

Facility costs for 2013 were $1,634,862, which is$157,497 lower than 2012. In 2013, the FacilityService staffing was reduced by one full-time position, hydro costs decreased from 2012, lessrepairs to Roger’s House and on campus housingwere required than in 2012.

Management, administrative and operational costsdecreased 1.5% with a reduction in staffing. Thisline includes costs in relation to the operation of the Headmasters office, Assistant Heads, BusinessOffice, Human Resources and reception. In addition,school wide infrastructure costs are charged hereand professional fees, such a legal and audit fees are reflected in this cost centre.

In addition, PC continues to repay the fixed rateterm loan with the Bank of Montreal. We repaid$225,000 this year and have an outstanding balanceof $1,125,000. The interest incurred for 2013 was$76,429 versus $89,366 in 2012.

Liquidity and Net AssetsPC’s cash and cash equivalents have decreasedslightly over last year. Our overall cash and cashequivalents totaled $4,164,332 as at June 30, 2013 ($4,547,855 in 2012). Key driver for thedecrease in cashflow is due to the required capitalre-investment in school facilities. PC continues toclosely monitor cash flow.

Overall, net assets have increased to a total of $22.3 million. Our investment in property, plant and equipment has grown by the capital projectscompleted and our endowments have grown withdonations. The operating reserve has decreasedfrom ($4,491,089) to ($4,579,136) at the end ofJune 2013. This $88,047 decrease is mainly drivenby the capital projects of $422,363, BMO loanrepayment of $225,000, the capital lease repaymentof $16,604, offset by the operating surplus attributable to our operating reserve (includingamounts transferred from endowments to fundscholarships/bursaries) $317,333 and deferred donation and fundraising contributions transferred$258,587. Improvements in the negative operatingreserve will result from annual operating surpluses,but further capital expenditures that are not fundedby donations and the repayment of the loan willincrease the negative reserve.

ConclusionOverall, 2013 should be considered a turning pointyear for Pickering College. Our increased enrolmentcoupled with our continued responsible cost management focus has moved the financial resultsfrom an operating deficit to an operating surplus.This is evidence that the difficult decisions in 2012did not compromise the investment in our peopleand programs and our continued alignment to ourStrategic Plan has poised us for this growth in 2013and beyond.
