Last May, a Chinese-Canadian Catholic media company, Fountain of Love and Life, filmed life at Hawthorn School for Girls and featured Elaine (Lower School) and Bella (Upper School).
We invite you to view the beautiful documentary that resulted, entitled Hawthorn School for Girls | Beyond Grades: Discover the True Purpose of Learning – it is online now!
Through their conversations with Elaine, Bella, their parents, their teachers, and their principal, Fountain of Love and Life has captured in film the spirit that sets Hawthorn apart as a life-changing school that provides outstanding care, mentorship, and education for its students. In the words of Elaine’s mother,
‘Cultivating children to become mature confident people who can have a positive impact on the world requires far more than the infusion of knowledge; rather, it takes a community who share the same ideals to nurture the children’s growth together with their parents. Hawthorn School for Girls provides just such an environment so that these girls can live up to their full potential…. A good character is the foundation of her life’s happiness.’
Thank you to the film crew at FLL who took such first-rate care in making this documentary. We love how you have showcased the wonderful results that our small, unique, independent school creates in the life of its community – and beyond.
