2008-2009REPORT TO DONORS

For the Report to Corporation 2008-2009visit our website (www.lcc.ca) for the e-version oremail Theodora Brinckman (tbrinckman@lcc.ca) for the paper version.

We knew last August that our school year was going to be special as we prepared for the launch of our Centenary, celebrating 100 years on Royal Avenue. Indeed, we should take pride in a full century dedicated to educational excellence for young men and women from across Montreal. However, rather than simply resting on our laurels, 2008-2009 proved to be a busy and productive year. All members of the school community found inspiration in our deep roots and strong traditions. I am pleased to report that our School is on sound footing in terms of finances, facilities and programmes. Moreover, our board, administration and faculty share a strong common vision that will confidently launch LCC into its second century.

The 2008-2009 school year was filled with too many activities and accomplishments to cover in a short report. However, here are a few examples that I hope will offer you a sense of how full and exciting LCC life is:• Adopted&implemented,bytheBoardof

Governors, a new strategic plan, Our Sustainable Future: 2009-2013.

• Productive&engagedstudentactivitiescontinuedwhether in the Junior School, which embraced a Chinese cultural theme, to Middle School and graduates in grade 11 and 12.

• Studentsparticipated&succeededinacademiccontests, played on dozens of school teams, painted, acted, debated, and built robots, amongst other activities that indicate a broad interest in

co-curricular activities which enriched students’ lives at school.

• Age-appropriateleadershipopportunities&learning initiatives available at every grade level so that students could be challenged through interesting active learning initiatives.

• Philanthropy&Non Nobis Solum alive and well at LCC despite the global economic downturn.

• Implemented&committedtoanewFacultyGrowth Plan that dynamically supports creative teaching, renewal and ongoing dialogue between professionals.

As we prepare to complete our Centenary year, we should continue to take great pride in our School, our province and our country. LCC students are embracing the responsibility and challenge of being leaders and engaged global citizens. As we enter our second century, I hope we will hold true to the vision of our founder and exhibit an active spirit of Non Nobis Solum. It is a timeless mantra that will continue to guide and support the development of character in young men and women for generations to come.

“Our School is in wonderful shape.

Financially, we are sound and working to improve

that situation even more. More important, I believe

we are delivering a level of academic,

co-curricular, and athletic programmes that are the

best in our history.”

am particularly honoured to submit this, my first report as Chair of the Board of Governors. I am honoured because we have just completed our 100th year on Royal Avenue as Lower Canada College, and I have the privilege to be in this role as part of a truly exceptional team.

During this first year, we set some ambitious goals that included:• Adoptedanewstrategicplan,• PlannedforourfuturefactoringintheuncertaintyofBill104,• RaisedfundsandinstilledatruesenseofNon Nobis Solum, • Establishedacommitteetoenhancethecommunication

programme, • LaunchedPhase2ofourCapitalCampaign,• Reviewedourfacilities,• Respectedourbudgetandpreparedanewone

In fact these are just a few amongst many other initiatives – too many to mention here.

None of the above could have been accomplished without the hard work and dedication of your Board. I believe we have as motivated and competent a group as we could possibly have, and I offer them my sincere thanks for their support and encouragement as we tackled a large number of important issues.

Three dedicated members are retiring this year, George Tooley ’71, Eric Dedekam ’76 and Jean Aucoin who have all offered their time and expertise. They leave the Board having helped build a better and stronger school.

And finally, I want to congratulate our Headmaster, Mr. Christopher Shannon (Pre-U ’76), his Leadership team, and the faculty and staff of Lower Canada College for closing our first 100 years on such a positive note. Mr. Shannon has made my first year much easier and enjoyable than I might have thought and I want to underline that I believe that the relationship between the Board and the School’s Head is as strong as ever. There is a strong sense of mutual respect and common purpose.

Our School is in wonderful shape. Financially, we are sound and working to improve that situation even more. More important, I believe we are delivering a level of academic, co-curricular, and athletic programmes that are the best in our history. I have the opportunity to be in the School on a regular basis, and I continue to be impressed by the calibre of students we have, and by the unbelievable connection those students have to their teachers and to the other staff in the School. I am awed by the diversity of talents we have in our student body and by the way the students embrace all of these abilities. This could not happen without leadership from the educators who lead the programmes and who make Lower Canada College what it is today.
