We have reached over $450,000 in donations through Annual Giving so far this year!

Each year generous donations by SJS families, both past and present, provides opportunities for us to transform our students’ experience. 

Annual Giving supports initiatives and resources across all areas of our school. From our Artist in Residence and ADST Specialist roles, Guest Author program and Athletics uniforms, to events such as concerts, musical and theatre productions and so much more.

All gifts, no matter the size, make an impact. If you’re able to consider supporting SJS this year—your generosity will go a long way!
💛💚💙❤️ GIVING TUESDAY ❤️💙💚💛

Eddie the Eagle came out to celebrate with us today as we pass the $400,000 mark for money raised through Annual Giving so far this year!

Students wore their house shirts with pride and enjoyed picking up special Annual Giving stickers in their house colours to match! 

Giving Tuesday is a celebration of giving and its ability to transform our students’ experiences at SJS. Each gift strengthens our programs, fuels innovation and ensures our school continues to thrive ❤️💙💛💚
From the moment Leo Laszlo Tait stepped through the doors on his first day at SJS in September, he has experienced the welcoming spirit of the school. 

Transitioning to a new school can be daunting, but at SJS we strive to ensure every new student feels at home from day one. Our community-orientated values, coupled with dedicated support systems, create an environment where students can thrive and feel they belong.

Visit our news site (link in bio) to read Leo's story as he shares his experience of how SJS students and teachers have supported him as he finds his place within the school, and what he’s looking forward to in his first year at SJS! ✨
