At RNS, our community is a place where when we arrive on the Hill we belong right away. Our annual Top of the Hill Dinner and Auction is a gathering where those new to RNS and those who know the school well, come together for a chance to connect, celebrate, and support our school, our students and the traditions that make RNS so special. Come for the warmth, the fun, and the feeling of home — it’s a night you won’t want to miss.
Join in on friendly competition in our live and silent auctions: one-of-a-kind trips, sports tickets, weekend adventures, group dinners and tastings, artwork, services, and more!
Proceeds from this year’s Top of the Hill Dinner and Auction will be used toward the school’s Campus Renaissance - a multi-year undertaking that will refresh spaces, upgrade facilities, revitalize the campus landscape and create signature spaces. These upgrades will enhance the RNS learning experience and ensure the safety of our students.
Spread the word: tell your family, friends and neighbours, everyone is welcome. We can’t wait to join you for a night of fun and camaraderie!
Thank you for your support of RNS.
