Whether it was the thrill of a championship win, the steady support of teammates and coaches through tough games, or those unforgettable bus rides that spark lifelong friendships, the Crofton Falcons athletic program has an unmistakable energy and community.
Today, we bring together field hockey voices from past and present—current Falcons athletes and accomplished alumnae—to share memories and lifelong lessons made through CHS field hockey.
At Crofton House School, the connection between alumnae and current students is a powerful tradition that transcends generations. Each year, students have the unique opportunity to engage directly with alumnae during classes, events, and assemblies to build on shared wisdom, experiences, and lessons—all underpinned by our belief in women’s agency and the transformative power of girl-centred education.
Each year, Grade 11 and 12 students are invited to connect with alumnae, parents, and other members of the CHS community as part of the Annual CHS Career Conference. This year’s conference, held on March 10, explored the theme of “Empowering Futures: Living Stories, Lasting Connections.”
Do chickens have teeth?
Grade 6 students explored this and similar questions in a fun, fantastical nonfiction writing workshop with CHS alumna Rachel Poliquin ’93!

Having graduated from Crofton House School just last year, Sienna Gibson ‘24 is making waves in university soccer with an impressive first season playing for the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds.
The Senior Kindergarten classes were treated to an alumnae visit on Tuesday, October 8, with co-authors Hannah Zisman ’05 and her husband Conor McGlauflin reading their recently published picture book, Think a Thought. The book is filled with words of affirmation to guide readers in creating their own ‘calm kingdom’. The girls also got to view the book’s original paintings and helped Conor, who illustrated the book, with ideas for a class-created calm kingdom.
The Order of Canada is one of the country’s highest honours, recognizing those who have made extraordinary contributions to the nation. Crofton House is proud of its alumnae who have been awarded this honour. Here, we highlight those who have received this prestigious commendation.
Crofton House School has a rich tradition in field hockey with many alumnae continuing their passion for the sport beyond graduation, whether for fun or in more competitive environments. In December, this legacy came to life as five CHS alumnae participated in the inaugural Pan American Continental Cup Masters Field Hockey tournament held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
