Crofton House School celebrated Earth Week with learning opportunities for all students. In the Junior School, students participated in various activities led by student Sustainability Ambassadors, while students in the Senior School started the week with a special assembly featuring two alumnae sisters.
Special thanks to alumnae Dagmar and Vanessa Timmer for their inspiring presentation. From their days at CHS to becoming leaders in social change and sustainability and Co-Founders of OneEarth Living, their journey captivated our students. If you would like to learn how you can make a difference, explore the resources tab at OneEarth Living.
Crofton House School will be hosting a special event to honour the retirement of longstanding staff members, Rick Barr, Manager, Facilities, and Kaye Wong, Teacher, Physical & Health Education, Junior School - combined the two have served CHS for over 73 years! The event will be hosted on Thursday, June 20 at Crofton House School.

Condolences
It is with sadness that we announce that alumna Mary Louise “Flick” Orr '64 recently passed away. Mary contributed to the Crofton House community in many ways. She was the Alumnae Association president from 1996 - 1999. She was an ex-officio member of the Board, a member of numerous Board Committees, including the Bursary Committee, Development Committee, Long-range Planning Committee, Executive Committee, Nominating Committee and the Head of School Search Committee, and was a longstanding volunteer at the CHS Annual Golf Tournament.
Our deepest sympathy to her children Ryan and Malia, and her grandchildren Cole, Tiffany, and Russell.
It is with sadness that we announce that alumna Jennifer Halse '68 recently passed away. Jennifer was a second-generation alumna, whose mother Faith Halse graduated from Crofton House in 1931. Our deepest sympathy to her family: her niece May, her extended family and her circle of friends.
It is with sadness that we announce that alumna Elizabeth “Beth” Joan Jackson Clibbon '58 passed away on February 9, 2024. Our deepest sympathy to her family: her husband Peter, her children Robert, Jennifer, Heather, Peter, Christopher, and her grandchildren Elise, Stephanie, Robert, Rosa, Guillem, Noam, Frances and Page.
