Giving at St. George’s School of Montreal
Like most independent schools in Canada, St. George’s School of Montreal’s tuition fees simply cannot support all of the ongoing needs and value-added opportunities that we would like to offer our students.
Our Annual Giving campaign and our Named Funds are therefore important sources of funds that have historically allowed us to upgrade our campuses, enhance our already enriched curriculum and co-curricular activities as well as provide financial assistance to mission-appropriate students whose families would not otherwise be able to financially afford a St. George’s education.

St. George’s Named Funds
 John Dore Fund for Athletics In John Dore’s distinguished career at St. George’s School of Montreal, he guided and mentored students both on and off the court. Since his departure in 1989 to pursue his coaching career, John continues to be involved at St. George’s as an alumni liaison. The John Dore Fund for Athletics is used to enhance and develop athletic initiatives at St. George’s School of Montreal.
Tammy Levy Fund for Teacher Training Tammy Levy (1963-2003) taught at St. George’s School from 1997–2003 as a Coordinator of Student Support Services. Tammy’s methodology was founded on humour, compassion, patience, intuition, insight and a mother’s love. This fund, created in her memory, benefits current as well as future St. George’s students. Beatrice Lewis Fund for Enrichment Mrs. Lewis began her career at our elementary school in 1979 as the Grade 4/5 homeroom teacher. Her appointment as Director in 1989 brought in an era of great continuity for close to 20 years at the elementary school. Although now retired, she is still fondly remembered by students, parents and teachers alike. This fund, in honour of her long-time dedication and service to the school, is for enrichment programmes at St. George’s.
Jaclyn Linetsky Fund for the Performing Arts This fund was established in memory of St. George’s Grad, Jaclyn Linetsky ‘03, who died tragically in a car accident at the tender age of 17. As the voice of Caillou, Jaclyn entertained hundreds of thousands of children the world over. Amongst her other accomplishments, she was also the lead female in the television show “15/Love” which aired in over 72 countries. Her name on our Performing Arts Program ensures that Jaclyn’s force and character will always be remembered and that she will continue to be an inspiration for generations of St. George’s students. Donations to this fund are used to further enrich the Performing Arts Program at St. George’s.
John Plant Fund for Music John Plant was a Music teacher, director and musician at St. George’s for 29 years. Legions of pirates and princesses, Geisha girls and London Bobbies have crossed the stage under his inspired direction. This fund was established through the generous support of parents, alumni and faculty; the purpose of which is to support the on-going development of the music program at St. George’s School. Gilbert Plaw/Agnes Matthews Financial Assistance Fund The Gilbert Plaw Fund was established on the occasion of his retirement in 2000 to recognize his outstanding contribution to St. George’s School of Montreal and his commitment to providing a unique educational opportunity to as many students as possible. Gilbert continues to be involved in the school today helping the Advancement Office with alumni contacts through his on-going relationships with past students. Agnes Matthews was the school’s second head and for the 28 years between 1935 and 1963, her vision, dedication and foresight created the blueprint for curriculum and student life at St. George’s. These funds benefit mission-appropriate students whose families may not have the financial means to provide them with a St. George’s education.
Serge Rousseau Fund for French Enrichment During his 32 years at St. George’s School of Montreal, Serge Rousseau championed language instruction and made the French culture an integral part of the St. George’s curriculum. He has been described as a great pedagogue and a true innovator; one who constantly looked for ways to improve the French program at St. George’s. The Serge Rousseau Fund was created in June 2007 upon his retirement and ensures that the French language and cultural opportunities at St. George’s are pursued and explored.
