Sea to Sky Outdoor School Keats Island Seal Poem

A calm brush of the ocean air, A lovely taste from the true love pair, For them I wonder what they see, You or me or a standing tree, I really wonder what they’ll see,

by Claudia Menziuso

What a strange addition Miss Southey!

Solitude spots are the best. Timmy writes some thoughts in his log book. 6

camp As I stepped on the ferry, my heart was pumping so fast I could hear it beat. I wondered if I would like Sea to Sky Camp or n o t I was kind of nervous, but I ju s t kept moving. I was so excited! Finally we arrived and we followed Coyote up the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hill o f Doomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It was hard. In the centre of campus, the islander, Hawk played the name game with us and it was awesome because we got to say our island name. Everybody had a very interesting name. They all had something to do with nature. Soon, time passed and the other groups arrived. Their smiles were as big as the ocean! The activities we did were awesome! From canoe voyages to high lookout hikes, polar dipping to solitude spots and the tire! Jamieson pushed us so high it felt like we got to touch the sky. The wind felt like a lovely treat. It felt so good as it reached the tips o f our faces. The bunk beds are were so comfy you could fall asleep in a second. I really enjoyed Sea to Sky Camp! Claudia Menziuso

Tessa is definitely taking time out to be a thinker. Wearing a photon and doing POTS is all part of camp.

Samantha writing in her log book. Aiden is ready for some early morning canoeing.

This year, when Grade 5 went to Sea to Sky Camp. We learned about the compass, the 80/20 world, and the ecospheratron. First, we learned that in the camp compass north stands for Nature, south stands for Sustainability, east stands for Ethics, and west stands for Work. We learned about the ecospherotron. I saw how much the earth has changed. It showed me how important it is to care about the earth and to take action. I saw how bad it w ill be if we cannot make a change and how great it w ill look when we do make a change. Another thing that I learned was the 80/20 world. That means 80% o f the world uses only 20% o f the World's resources and 20% o f the world uses 80% o f the World's resources. When I found that out, I was very shocked. I learned a lot o f things at camp and had fun there. It was like feeding two birds at one time. I wish that we could go again next year to Sea to Sky Camp and learn new facts and have a lot o f fun.

Strathcona Outdoor School Vancouver Island Ms. Mitchell joined us for a few days at camp. She was a real risk-taker when she tackled the 80' tree. She managed to climb all the way up on the staples and then abseiled down.

Jessica and Sarah enjoyed the sunny days that we spent at camp. Natalie and Erin were very encouraging when they supported each other on the zipline. It was a long way up and many Grade 6 students had to grit their teeth as they took the plunge.

camp We boarded the ferry to go to Nanaimo and then drive to Strathcona Park Lodge. It was a VERY long trip. We were all really tired when we arrived. On the bog walk, I got to eat the bog moss because it is clean. It was used for putting on really deep cuts because it can absorb all of your blood and heal the wound. A ll o f the activities were really fun I loved it. My favourite activity was the indoor climbing because there were a lot o f different things to do inside. There was one activity that was called the m ilk box jum p which was very difficult, but fun. When my group and 1 went to the water it was as clear as a crystal. The best thing was watching my friends try to play piano keys on the kayaks and most o f them fell in because the kayaks were really slippery. The sauna was s till the best thing I have ever been in. This was my first time. On our way back from Strathcona the bus ride felt like the longest ride I have ever been on. The travelling was really boring, but I loved the camp. Laura Gollner

Maddy, Zoe and Jordan looked a little confused as they joined the circle!

Emma went that extra mile when she climbed the tree blindfolded!

I stepped out o f the water taxi with only two thoughts on my mind; it ’s raining, and no one knows who’s going on the first trip out. Well, we soon found out, it was groups B and D. I was in group B. I thought to myself, at least we got to get it over with first, but we were worried that someone would get eaten by bears! Luckily, the counselors were really kind, and they enjoy having fun. I have to admit that one o f the best things that happened on the trip was the totally awesome dress up dance party! Everyone got to pick a costume and dress up! It was really fun. I was really surprised that the food was actually good. Overall, I really enjoyed Camp Jubilee, and I wish lots o f luck to next year’s grade sevens! Benny Jean Cytrynbaum

camp This year's Grade Eight's went on three different excursions. The advanced group went up Garibaldi Mountain. After an extremely difficult eight kilometer uphill hike, they had tonnes o f fun visiting glacier lakes and lying on the boardwalk under the stars. The intermediate and beginner groups went to two different campsites, distances apart. Those groups had fun too; playing games and telling ghost stories at night with flashlights. Overall the weather was amazing and the entire class bonded in the outdoors!

The experience we had at camp was unilke any other. The Grade Nineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s went kayaking along Indian Arm this year. We were fortunate enough to have two out of three days of sunshine when on the water. We got to know our peers better and learned new skills. We learned the proper equipment and how different water-based travel is from land-based travel. We have many great memories. We know that you will have fun next year, Grade 8 â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s!

camp This year for our grade 10 camp, we traveled to the Whistler/Pemberton area. In order to have reasonably small groups, we were broken down in to A, B and C groups depending on the difficulty o f the hike (although I think they all were pretty hard). The grade 10 camp was different from previous years because the time period was longer, we left on a Tuesday and didn’t get back until Friday. I thought that this camp would feel a lot longer, however in the end I couldn’t image it any different. This year, more than ever, camp felt like an escape because we did so much. I felt that we had a lot o f fun and everyone really connected. Luckily, the third day at camp was beautiful weather and we were able go on a day hike to the peak. The hike up was brutal at times, but when we finally got top the top the view was an incredible. From the top, we took some spectacular photos and I think we will always have those memories. Despite, a day of rain and tiring hike, the camp experience turned out to be great! Brigitte M.

A ll members of the group participated, with great enthusiasm in activities which ranged from responding to art, planting trees, and passing Dr. Frewin, aloft, from hand to hand, in a team building activity! The group visited the Seattle A rt Museum and the Underground of Seattle tour. Ethan summed it up when he commented that ‘The Underground was a fascinating exploration o f late 19th century problem solving. As well, it was an entertaining perspective on the underbelly o f Seattle. ”

Saturday featured a tour o f the Museum o f Flight in the morning, ireenspace restoration (tree planting and invasive species emoval) in the afternoon, and a performance o f A Streetcar Earned Desire in the evening. 'he greenspace restoration activity resonated with all o f us. 'harlotte J. commented, “ One o f the most enjoyable activities /as tree planting and clearing invasive species...I enjoyed this because you could actually see the difference you are making in be forest we were working on. ” )n Sunday, we returned to Mulgrave after the final team uilding activities. A ll in all, it was an active and intense taming experience, one that benefited all who participated.

You pull that root Arthur! Tree planting in the Washington forests.

In honor of Terry Fox Day, the Junior School was delighted to welcome Mrs. Sandra Durrans as a guest speaker on Friday, September 11, 2009. Mrs. Durrans addressed the Junior School about her dear friend, Terry, and the Marathon of Hope. Mrs. Durrans began her speech by telling us, “This is not a story about Terry as a national hero or an international symbol for cancer. This is simply a story about a friend and a friendship.” Mrs. Durrans first met Terry at the age of 10. She was friends with him throughout her elementary and high school years, plus went on to attend SFU during the same years he was there. It was at SFU that Terry’s battle with cancer began: “I think of him as my friend. A brave, courageous young man who had the determination to go beyond what anyone else would do to achieve a goal. No matter how big or small. What endeared the world to him is simply that. He never thought of himself as a hero never thought he was any better than anyone else. He just had the ability to try perhaps a little bit harder.” Each September, the Mulgrave community raises money for cancer research to commemorate Terry’s Marathon of Hope. With over 380 participants in the Junior School, our goal is to run for 45 minutes not only to honor Terry’s memory, but also to raise as much money as possible. After the inspiring speech from Mrs. Durrans, our Terry Fox run ensued on the lower field. It was a spectacular day. All of the students, staff members and volunteers who participated and made the event a great success.

Locker duty Grade 11 and 12 students donned cover-ups and tapped their creativity to clean up and re-paint the lockers in Grandview School. Although it was hard work, all of the students did their very best to complete the job well. The finished result was rewarding for all.

Grandview Renew Senior school students show up in full force to lend a hand ■MMBMMMMBMI For some time, Mulgrave has been fostering a relationship with Grandview Elementary School, an inner-city school that is a mere fifteen minutes’ drive from Mulgrave. Grandview had been pointed out to Mulgrave as a school of particular need, and we have been determined to build a two-way relationship with them: in exchange for

volunteers, support and resources, we gain experience, perspective and humanity. The greatest achievement in our yearling relationship was the service day that occurred in September 2009, where more than one hundred Senior School students and staff bussed to Grandview one Saturday morning.

There, we repainted lockers, cleaned walls, reorganised files, cleared overgrown weeds from a community garden on the school grounds, and generally helped to rejuvenate the school.There was a very positive atmosphere (especially since some Grandview students came to work alongside us), and the

projects were undertook were done (and done well!). Grandview’s principal, Ms G. Raphael, told the group at the end of the day how pleased she was with what had been accomplished, marking it as a very successful and encouraging day in the history of both schools, as well as of their young relationship, by Jan deBeer

We had an amazing Grade 6 soccer team. At the Southridge Play Day, we played three great games and finished with a tie and two losses. The highlight from that day was our game against Collingwood where we came back from two goals with only ten seconds left! We played well as a team that day. I will always remember the fun bus rides, our two exhilarating wins and our last soccer season in Junior School.

We had an amazing soccer season! Although we lost some games, we had fun, especially on the bus rides. This year, we had talented forwards, defense, and goalies. The Victoria Jamboree was a mini World Cup style tournament, where we were on different teams representing many countries. It was fun learning new soccer skills from other players. Our coaches taught us a lot of strategies. Our soccer season was great!

his year's cross country team did very well with their aining and at the two meets. We met every Monday fternoon to train and everyone worked really hard, dulgrave participated in two cross country meets. One f them was the Pumpkin Run at Ambleside Park, here every grade raced about 1km to 2km. The anners did very well and had a lot of fun. If you came first, second or third, you got a pumpkin. At the nal and most important meet of the year, the races >r all grades were harder and much longer. If you ame in the top 16 you got a ribbon. All Mulgrave udents ran really hard and placed well at this meet, his was a great cross country year and we all had a t of fun.

We had a very successful season with improved skills every game. We practiced hard with guidance from our devoted coaches. At the ISEA Play Day, we met our rival schools. They came to show off their skills and that was the highlight of the season. We played well and achieved a respectable result. We were proud of ourselves for our steady progress and will return next year for another successful and exciting season.

The Grade 6 girls started off as rookies, but after our incredible coaching, we turned into young pros. Our fabulous coaches, Ms. Yakachuk and Mr. Gardiner made basketball practices fun yet intense! We learnt different kinds of dribbling skills like cross-overs and pick and rolls. Passing was one of the most important things that we learned. If someone is open in front of you then you should pass it to them because the ball flies through the air faster than you can dribble! Layups were, unfortunately, one of the team â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weaknesses. We had to practice aiming for the right spots and hitting the ball soft off the backboard a lot. Our two top scorers for the season were Anniqa and Betsie. Great job team!

The team had a terrific season this year. We played a truly 'team' oriented game. All season, we played with a flow, skill and enthusiasm that 'Sstv.J allowed us success during league play, and earned a victory to conclude the season. Nicky Allen is commended for his strong leadership as our captain throughout the season. Thanks go to Mr. Jones, Mr. RonaldJones and Brett Zielke, for their dedication, commitment, and support.

This season of volleyball was one filled with team bonding, and laughs! The team was committed, coming in at 6:45am to practice, working hard, and supporting each other on and off the court. There were many successes, but one highlight was our victory against Handsworth early on in our season. The girls used communication, technical skills, and heaps of determination to pull off a very impressive win. What great group of people as well as athletes!

The team had a great year. In league play the team ended the season with a record of 5-4 and headed into the ISEA Play day in 7th place. Defeating St. John’s easily in their first game, the team moved on to the semi-finals where they up tough against Crofton House, but ended up losing 25-17. The team then played Collingwood in the consolation final and easily defeated them 25-12. Overall it was an amazing season and the girls are looking forward to their next.

Cross Country The team had a successful season, beginning with an exhibition match in Victoria against St. Michael’s University School and ending with a respectable finish against one of the best teams in the province. We also participated in the ISA Boys and Girls Tournaments, finishing third in both. During North Shore season play, the team had a number of very close matches over the course of the season with close 65 wins and some nail-biting 6-5 losses. Mulgrave was in a tie for 4th place with Argyle coming into the final league match of the year. The team played extremely well, with some key matches won by doubles team, Justin C. and Conrad J., as well as Ellie C. and Emma P. Grade 8 William Wang played in the senior boys singles match. He played fantastically and won in the third set 24-22 to put the Mulgrave Senior Badminton team into the play-offs for the first time where we earned third place. Congratulations to our team of players for Mulgrave’s most successful badminton season to date.

2009 was a season of extremes for Cross Country. On oi extreme we had our first Mulgrave Titan qualify to represe the North Sore at Provincial Cross Country Championshi Brigitte M. and on the other extreme we struggled to field ft teams in league meetings despite having a strong team draw from. Just as the team was beginning to ga consistency and fitness, the season was over. Going to Provincial Cross Country Championships was huge achievement for Brigitte. As a Grade 10 athlete, she w competing predominantly against Grade 11 and 12 girls the Senior Girls Division. Brigitte did extremely well finish in the top half of the field. There is no doubt that s will be back at Provincials for the next two years, improvi each time. Many thanks to coaches Mr. Michael Moore, Mr. Ferdina van Zyl and Ms. Christine Giesbrecht for their time and eff during the season. v

Jr Girls

The team finished off their season (¡j*, with a 4th place finish in the NSSSAA playoffs. This is quite an accomplishment considering that we are the only single ’A’ school of the thirteen teams playing volleyball on the North Shore. Our team demonstrated incredible heart and tenacity all season long especially when playing against teams with bigger players from bigger schools. They simply refused to lose and will go on to further success next season.

The Juvenile Girls Volleyball team had an exciting season this year. During league play they only lost one game and finished with a 9-1 record. The girls entered playoffs with the same dedication and determination that they played the season with and finished 4th on the North Shore. Well done ladies!

'he swim team completed its year in grand style, ringing home excellent results at the ISEA Swim Vleet. This year’s team was our biggest ever, full of aient and desire. Surviving the early mornings, the earn learned all about competition swimming, as they lave developed their strokes, starts, and turns. \dorned with stunning new swim suits and caps, the tudents made a big splash at their competitions, vearing their Mulgrave pride on their sleeve, rather heir swim suit. Thanks to the Ms. Roy, the student volunteer coaches, and parent volunteers, who have nade the season run so smoothly. Next year we look orward to having everyone return, participate in more wim meets and go after that elusive ISEA Championship!

The Olympics mean cheering on my home city. The athletes inspire me to follow my goals and new sports. The Olympics are important to me because the athletes work hard training all year long representing their country and following their goals. The Olympics make me think of myself as an athlete. The Olympics make me think of all of the countries competing in the Olympics. The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games make me really excited because it is my home city. Joshua B. The Olympics mean mascots, medals - gold, silver, bronze and the Inuk-shuck. It makes me smile and makes me think our world is filled with love, peace and joy. Thinking of yourself as the athlete can get you inspired. You can get happy and excited. You can reach your goal. It is international and the crowd is cheering for you. You feel good for yourself and you think how brave you are. Kristjana W. The Olympics mean competitions and winter sports like skeleton and free style skiing. They are all fun games in the Olympics. We all are counting down the days for the Olympics. The mascots of the Olympics are Miga, Sumi and Quatchi with their side kick Mak Mak. They are all wonderful mascots. Christie Y. The Olympics are a special event because when you watch the Olympics it feels like you are an Olympic athlete competing in the Olympics. I am going to make it to the Olympics because my heart is telling me I can make it. I am going to follow my dreams to be an Olympic hockey player and win a gold medal in the Olympic hockey game. Jayden S. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited that the Olympic Games are going to be here in Vancouver! I just want to go and watch the Olympic Games. I think the Olympic Games are special because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you can play and represent your country and play against other people all over the world. To me the Olympic Games mean playing and enjoying what you are doing. Whenever I hear energetic music it just makes me think of the Olympics and when I think of the Olympics I think of hard work and training. When I grow up I would like to be an Olympic athlete and I would go out there and play and represent my country. My whole family would be there cheering for me. Just imagine! Lily Y.

WVeëoWr G jrlú vj )n Thursday, March 18 Grade 10 students vent to see the Wheelchair Curling event at íe Paralympics. As they were in the middle if a unit of study involving curling, they were ble to link this visit to their BC Physical ducation curriculum by understanding that II athletes train with the same rigorous lements, set goals, go through the same trial rocesses and, ultimately, have the same urpose in mind: representing their country in ompetition. Students researched the anadian Paralympic athletes prior to atching them in action by looking into their ackgrounds and training regimens.

A group of our Junior School teachers were surprised when they realized who they were sitting next to at a Paralympic Games sledge hockey match between Canada and Italy on March 13th. Ms Cannon, Ms Rathbone, Ms Newton and Ms Ullman were sitting next to our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper at the University of British Columbia's Thunderbird Arena. He was in town to catch the Games action firsthand. He graciously agreed to have a photograph taken with our teachers. What a great souvenir of the Games!

My favourite Olympic moment was when Joannie Rochette won bronze in ladies figure skating, short & long program. She was skating for her mom who had died from an unexpected heart attack, two days before Rochette was to compete. Joannie was, and still is an inspiration for me and people across the world. She was skating in honor of her mom, and she made her proud. I watched Joannie light up the ice as she performed with open arms for the world. She was fantastic! And she brought tears to my eyes.

Another amazing Olympic moment was when Crosby shot the winning goal that

resulted in a gold medal for Canada. The game was tied 2-2 and we had to go into overtime. That’s when it happened, Crosby scored and TEAM CANADA won gold! I was in my car at the time, racing home to catch the last minute of the hockey game. My mom was flipping through the radio station, trying to find the station where they broadcasted the game. She finally found it and this was all we heard: “We will be back with the game after this commercial break..... AND CROSBY SCORES!!!!” It was fantastic! I rang my cowbell as we drove down the street. My final favourite Olympic moment was when Alex Bilodeau won gold in men’s downhill moguls. It was the first

time we had won gold on home soil. It felt amazing for him and proud Canadians across the country. His brother looked thrilled when he came down the mountain. All of these special memories I will have for the rest of my life, have made me proud to be Canadian. By: Rachael W. (5H)

Mulgrave was honoured to have Paralympian Andrea Holmes speak at Junior Assembly Friday January 15th. Andrea was born without the lower portion of her left leg, but that has not held her back from becoming a 4-time Canadian Paralympic Champion in Long Jump and 3-time Canadian Paralympic Champion in 100m.

Like we used to do

Andrea was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the 2004 Paralympic Games and will find out in the next two weeks if she will be participating in the 2010 Olympic Games as a freestyle skier.

I can’t hide from you You can’t hide from me There is a line in front of us We can’t go away from each other Like we used to Like we used to Like we used to do

Andrea’s speech was both engaging and inspiring. She talked about what it means to be an Olympian, including the years of hard work and the setting of goals. We are truly grateful to her for taking time out of her busy training schedule to share her experiences with us. Special thanks to Shameer Noormohamed from RBC for arranging the visit.

We see gold We are competing and fulfilling our dreams Reaching for the stars We can’t stop till we’re at the top I can’t hide from you You can’t hide from me There is a line in front of us We can’t go away from each other Like we used to Like we used to Like we used to do We are happy when we reach the top We can go further now We are thrilled We trained so hard, see you in Sochi in four years I can’t hide from you You can’t hide from me There is a line in front of us We can’t go away from each other Like we used to Like we used to Like we used to do

SPIRIT WEEK 2010: MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE ... This year’s Upper School Spirit Week, Mulgrave’s 9th annual campaign, supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC and Yukon (www.makeawishbc.ca/). Spirit Week was right before the Olympics, from Monday, February 8th to Thursday, February 11 th, 2010. It was four days packed with wishes and Olympic spirit from all dimensions. There were arts and athletics as well as a focus on our major service campaign in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children with lifethreatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Since 1983, they have granted more than 1,000 wishes for children in our region. This year we pledged to grant a few wishes, including one from our own community. As always, Spirit Week is organised by G10-11 student leaders on the Service Action Council (SAC), under the guidance of the SAC Spirit Week Coordinators, Juliette Levine and Nick Dempsey. The main event for this year’s Spirit Week was an Olympic Relay competition as well as lots of fun spirit activities this year, such as opening and closing ceremonies, live music from The Fugitives, Olympic-themed house competitions at lunch, a talent show, a special Olympic lunch, a non-uniform day, and guest speakers. This year, we were also lucky to have the support of the Kids Helping Kids Foundation (www.kidshelpingkidsfoundation.ca) , a ocal charitable organisation that seeks to empower youth to make j difference in the lives of other youth. One way it does this is by supporting philanthropic projects by youth which benefit other children’s charities. Kids Helping Kids generously agreed to match yiulgrave’s Spirit Week fundraising totals up to $5000. "he Mulgrave community was invited to purchase a Spirit Week shirt, and make donations to our Mulgrave campaign directly to he BC Make-A-Wish Foundation. Overall, Spirit Week was a huge access and considerable funds were raised to support our Parities.

Author of Three Cups of Tea

QC< Thursday 14th January 2010 On Thursday the 14th we had a special guest come to speak at our school about his life and his personal journeys. His name is Greg Mortenson. He is the man who wrote the book Three Cups of Tea and he has come out with a new book, Stones into Schools. He believes in building peace with books and education for kids. His books tell about how he builds schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He first promised to build a school while he was climbing K2 but he got lost and was rescued by a small village in Pakistan. He asked the chief to see the school and all he saw were kids scratching their math in the dirt with sticks and there was no teacher. He promised then to come back and build a proper school. He has since built 131 schools! While he was in one of the villages a wise man told him a story of the rocks on the mountains in the distance. He said that they were men who have died wanting their children to have an education and a school. That is what I think the book Stones into Schools is all about. When I arrived at the school I noticed that there were a lot of volunteers helping to guide traffic and to help make it very safe in the miserable weather. The first 15 minutes before the show started Greg was signing books and I was lucky enough to get one of his autographs. He signed it with a star, which is on all of his schools that he builds, and the word peace. One of his quotes that I thought was very powerful was “if you educate a boy you educate an individual, if you educate a girl you educate a community” . I think that means that the women are usually the ones who are making a community a better place while the boys are sent off to the army to get money or where captured and taken there. It was a great experience to be there and to meet him and I hope I can see him again.

“Penelope, hurry up and eat your dinner!” My mother said to me. “Why?” I asked, “It’s Thursday and we don’t have any co-curricular activities after school!” My mother rolled her eyes. “Didn’t I tell you? W e’re going to the Greg Mortenson speech tonight, you know, the man who wrote the book Three Cups of TeaT’l had no reason to be reluctant, going to Mr. Mortensen’s lecture was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I had expected it to be about politics and all that grown-up stuff, but I was surprised that when we entered the theatre, there were more kids than I had anticipated. Greg Mortensen signed my copy of Three Cups of Tea’ with not only his name, but also the word PEACE which I think summarizes his overall message. After signing some books, he went up on stage to begin his speech. Nap time! Was my first thought, but it turned out to be the total opposite. He gave us a quick synopsis of the book; his sister Christa had died of a seizure and so he took one of her amber necklaces and went on a journey to place it on the mountain in Pakistan: K2. Unfortunately, he had to turn back before reaching the summit. He was forced to retreat to the lower slopes where he found a small village called Korphe. He grew attached to the people there and he promised to build them a school because of their kindness to him. He said that most of the kids there were scratching in the mud with sticks and there were barely any girls even doing that! I was really surprised about how many women around the world do not have an education, and was angry at how badly they are treated just because of their gender. I feel really lucky that women have access to education here in Canada. I was also surprised at how many challenges Mr. Mortensen had to face on his journey to build the first school! It is hard to imagine building 130 schools, but that is what he has done! That must have been really challenging! By the end of his speech I was totally amazed and I hope that girls continue to be educated in these regions. That will lead to more peace, which is what his aim was in the first place.

Ă&#x153;k The Senior Boys Rugby team embarked on their first international tour to England and Wales from March 11-21, 2010. Upon arriving in London, the boys immediately boarded their coach and were driven down to Truro, Cornwall, where they were met with open arms by their billets at Penair School. The following day, the boys played their first match against Penair. Jet-lagged and fatigued, the boys battled on the pitch, but fell just short losing 27-22. For the next leg of the tour the boys travelled to Shrewsbury, where they boarded at the prestigious Shrewsbury School. When the boys took to the pitch against Shrewsbury a new Titans team triumphed now more accustomed to the physical English game. The boys played an intense match winning 41-15, and left the Shrewsbury squad wondering what had happened! Leaving England and now travelling to Wales, the boys were met in Swansea by a

crowd of students at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera School. Feeling like celebrities as they exited from the bus, they team was swarmed by students and bombarded with questions about Canada. The following day they played their match against Ystalyfera, watched by the entire school. The sidelines were littered with more than 300 people, the biggest crowd the team had ever played in front of before. Our last stop was at Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg School in Cardiff. We headed into Cardiff for a day of sightseeing that included a guided coach tour of Cardiff and exploring Cardiff Castle. Overall, the tour was a complete success. The boys experienced British culture and history firsthand, improved their rugby skills, and were true ambassadors for both Canada and Mulgrave School.

Basketball Gr 5 Boys

The swim team completed the year in grand style. We survived the early mornings and learned all about competition swimming. With stunning new swim suits and caps, we made a big splash at competitions. Thanks to the Ms. Roy, student volunteer coaches, and parent volunteers, who made the season run so smoothly. Next year we plan to go after that elusive ISEA Championship!

The season went very well this year. My favourite game was at Collingwood School where we played an extremely close game. The score was tied 20-20 with only a couple of minutes left, and the action was fast. Sadly we lost, but everyone was cheering so loud that it actually felt like we were in the NBA. Overall our season was great and I think it couldn’t have been better. I’m very much looking forward to next year’s season. Liam Gray

The Grade 5 Girls basketball team enjoyed a fun and exciting season. The girls were committed to their practises and worked diligently on their passing, shooting, and positional play. The team grew with every game and they achieved a successful result at the always exciting Mulgrave Play Day. This competition allowed our Mulgrave Girls to showcase their many talents and reveal great potential for more success next year.

We had an awesome season! Being a competitive person, I have learned that if you want to do well and win you must give 100% to every move you make and not give up. You have to leave sweat on the court! Anna Crone I loved basketball. I learned about how to pass properly and dribble without the ball flying over my head! Sarah Orsmond Playing basketball is about being part of a team. I learned that if you work as a team and pass to each other, you will do much better that just focusing on doing everything by yourself. Soraiya Lalani___________________________

The Grade 6 basketball team had an enjoyable season. Not short on numbers, the team was able to dress nearly thirty players a game! Over the season, basic skills such as dribbling, passing and shooting were worked on. The boys were able to improve upon many of these skills and put them to use in games. Although ‘shifts’ were short, due to large participation on the team, everyone worked hard during games and wore the Mulgrave jersey with pride. There were many talented players on this team who will continue to be key contributors to the basketball programme.

The Junior Boys basketball team had a very condensed and competitive season this year. Despite injury to some players and a shortened season, the boys managed to play competitively with the other squads. The team had hard fought games against Rockridge, Sentinel and Windsor this year with every game being decided by 4 or fewer points. With the nucleus of the team intact for next year we look forward to an even stronger season next year.

The Gr 9 team participated in an exhibition season this year. The girls kicked the season off by playing in a tournament where they faced STA and Sutherland. The girls hard work and determination was paid off as the Lady Titans easily handled Bodwell 43-11 and defeated Lions Gate Christian Academy 32-22. Overall, the girls had a great season and are already looking forward to the 2010-2011 season.

The focus for the Bantam Boys Basketball team this year was to develop their basic skills and to build as a team. While the season proved to be challenging, the team definitely improved in their play. Each of the boys developed and refined their individual fundamental basketball skills, while building team cohesiveness throughout the season. The boys demonstrated true sportsmanship, giving the best of themselves in every game. The team placed 4th in the final ISEA tournament of the year, finishing the season on a high note. The coaches would like to commend each and every member of the team on their enthusiasm and their willingness to improve. We are looking forward to a strong season next year.

(Little Lady Titans), had a very successful season. Our first practice in November started with 23 excited, but relatively inexperienced players. What we lacked in size and experience, we more than made up with heart, determination, and commitment. By seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, we had a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. We entered the ISEA Championships in February and finished in fourth place. Their future is bright. Go Titans go!

The Grade 8 girls basketball team had an outstanding season this year. Playing in the highly competitive North Shore League, the girls were up against some steep competition. During league play, the Titans defeated their neighbouring rivals, Rockridge, 24-20. The Titans also competed in the Bantam ISA Tournament at Crofton House. The Lady Titans finished 7th narrowly defeating the Collingwood Cavaliers 24-22. During the first round of the North Shore League playoffs the Lady Titans were matched up against the heavily favoured Handsworth Royals. Giving the Royals their best test of the season, the Royals went on the capture the North Shore Bantam title. Overall, the girls had an amazing season and will look forward to progressing their skills over the summer and entering the 2010-2011 season as a force to be reckoned with.

Floor Hockey

The team enjoyed a fabulous season filled with last minute victories, tough defensive stops and exciting shots. Coaches Andre Linaksita. Zac Lim and Sam Griffiths, led the boys through gruelling practices. Their regular season record was 4 wins and 3 losses and the coaches felt confident going into the ISEA Tournament. The Titans finished the year in 5th place and are looking forward to getting back on the court next season.

In the annual floor hockey tournament the floor hockey team were finalists for the second year in a row. Although they were one of the smallest and youngest teams, they came back from a deficit score in every game and twice won in a shoot out. The boys played at their maximum potential. Their ability to work as a team was what really made them stand out and earn victories against other teams. The boys fought very hard for their second place finish. Congratulations to the team.

Sr Boys Basketball 2010 was a reasonably successful year for the senior boys basketball team. The team was made up of mostly young players, with only five seniors returning from last year. Spurred on by the good example set by the senior players, the young players performed admirably, earning significant court-time and showing a willingness to take big shots at important moments of games. As a team, we started off predictably slowly, losing our first four games but showed steady improvement in each loss. In the second half of the season, our improvements were notable and we managed to tally six wins, improving on last year’s total by five victories. Coaches Sealey and Cawkell would especially like to thank captains Andre Linaksita and Mitchell Weir as well as grade 12’s Ian Knowles, Zac Lim and Michael Minnicucci for their hard work and dedication over the past few seasons.

The Lady Titans basketball season started off with a great deal of doubt and uncertainty. We had a new team with only one returning starter from the 2008-2009 squad. In our first tournament, the Eagle’s Classic, our youth and inexperience showed, but our seniors stepped up and provided the leadership that was necessary to earn us a second place finish, and two players named to the 1st All-Star team. We entered three more tournaments, winning two of them and coming in 6th in the other. The highlight of the season was defending our title and repeating as Lower Mainland Sr. Girls ’A’ Basketball Champions. That victory ensured that we qualified to play in the Provincial Championships. We are eager for next year to begin as this year we will only lose one player to graduation. We will miss Riva R. as she has been our captain and pillar of strength throughout the season. She has helped our team believe in themselves and set us up for even more success next year. 59

A t the Grade 3 sleepover we did lots o f fun activities. Straight away, we did three exciting stations: capture the flag on the hill, tie dye with our white shirts, and we made ropes out of elastic bands and did Chinese skipping with them. After that, we all went down to the cafeteria for dinner. When we looked in the cafeteria, everyone was so surprised! It looked like a fancy restaurant. Mr. Steffens called it, “ Chez Fancy.” The food there was really good. A t the Grade Three Talent Show there were magic shows, people singing songs, comedy shows and dances. After every show, everyone clapped and cheered. Afterwards, we did songs and stories around the camp fire ( it was the stage). We ate cookies and had hot chocolate and it was great! In the morning, we went down to the gym and played. Afterwards, we went on a nature walk. In the middle o f the nature walk, someone jumped out in a bear costume! Everyone screamed, but then everyone high-fived the bear. Then we all went to the cafeteria and ate breakfast and went home. by Alyssa H.ague (3U)

The Eastern USA Trip was absolutely amazing. I am guessing that this is the time for kids (Grade 6) when we are starting to feel that we can be more independent and responsible, because I personally was not worried about the trip at all. Unlike last year when I was so worried that I had to go to camps. I learned a lot of things during the trip, especially the history of America concerning the British Colonial period. There were many things that I liked on the trip, so it is hard to decide what my favourite was. If I had to choose, it would be the Hershey Chocolate Factory. I think everyone would understand why, even if I do not explain why chocolate! We watched a 3D show about the chocolates with a lot of special effects. That was followed by a short learning period about Milton Hershey and the Hersheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Afterwards

we went chocolate shopping. Other places were very interesting and cool too, but the Hersheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s factory was my favourite. I think that this trip has been a great experience, in terms of both fun and learning. It was also a great experience for being responsible and independent. I have to give huge thanks to Ms. Mitchell and Mr. Gardiner. The trip was absolutely fantastic and I would certainly recommend everyone to go on these trips in the future if it were possible. by Sean Yang

Eastern Canada 2010 was an exciting experience! A fantastic group of grade nines attended this trip in early February, visiting the cities of Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa. We did everything from attending world-class museums, to dog sledding, to cheering for the Vancouver Canucks at an Ottawa Senators hockey game! Each experience was filled with memorable moments and multiple learning experiences as the teachers organised fun

activities for us to do. We did almost everything a tourist could do to explore these beautiful places. However, not only were we tourists, but we were able to stay with a host family in Quebec City. Practicing our French daily, we got to experience some real French culture. A highlight of the trip was visiting a “cabane du sucre” called Chez Dany. Here we got to try a traditional French Canadian meal filled with maple syrup! During each course of delicious food we danced and accompanied Dany with our spoon playing! Although we were not the best musicians, it is a memory we will keep forever. There were many highlights on this trip, and overall, this experience was an unforgettable time for the grade nine’s. We encourage this trip to the upcoming Grades! by Jasmine Somani and Emily Sewell

Over the Spring Break, from April 2-1 Oth 2010, Ms. Sheh and Mr. Keleher took a group of Grade 7 students to Oaxaca, Mexico for a wonderful exploration of art, culture and service.

The students particularly enjoyed riding the donkeys and making beautiful art pieces (called alebrijeses) autside in the warm sunshine. The students met with severely challenged children hrough the Helen Keller organisation, On the Wings of Art. They also spent time in the house which supports children from infancy to fourteen years old.. These were very moving experiences for all members of the excursion and one that the Grade 7 students will not forget.

Eighteen Grade 10 students traveled to Costa Rica for ten days this April. Accompanied by Ms. Anson and Mr. Pulfer, we were all very excited to get started on our service project at Pacayas High School. This is where we would work for the next three days.

When we arrived, the two Costa Rican workers had already started on the project with the materials we donated, but much work was still to be done. We knew that we had our work cut out for us, so we divided into three smaller groups. One of the groups began working and putting the cement walls of the classroom up. The other two groups toured the beautiful campus of Pacayas High School.The groups who toured the campus

were surprised to find that they had real animals for the agriculture courses offered at the school!

We worked hard for the three days and were lucky enough to have warm weather all the way through until the last day. During our lunch breaks, and before we left the high school each day, we played soccer with the students of Pacayas High School. Some of us made a connection with some of the students and exchanged e-mails to keep in touch. On the last day, we presented the school with three duffle bags full of soccer and sporting equipment. We instantly became heroes for a day.

By the end of the three days we spent working at Pacayas, we had almost finished the classroom. We were very proud with our work and were sad to leave. Since returning from our trip, we have collected $1500 to help finish the project. Through our experience of working at Pacayas it was easy to tell that they were greatly appreciative of our donations and the work we did. We all felt like we made a difference. by Charlotte Millar (Grade 10)

From June 14-28, 2010, 23 students and five adults participated in a trip to China; an opportunity to experience the old and new. Participants were particularly impressed with the infrastructures in Shanghai and Hong Kong and how these cities have developed to accommodate enormous populations. Few students had ever seen such tall buildings!

Students enjoyed a great view of Shanghai from “the Bund” . Shanghai is hosting the World Fair this year and students enjoyed the firstclass treatment they received at Canada House. No trip to China would be complete without visiting Beijing; the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City did not disappoint.

The students going to China this year were: t. •

Xi’an is the former capital of China and students witnessed the greatest archaeological find of the 20th century--the Terracotta Soldiers. However, the SOS Village in Tianjin was the highlight of the trip; in 1986, it was set up to take in and adopt orphans. They live together as a family; a place where children feel safe and loved. While the SOS Village kids spoke little English, and our Mandarin skills were equally limited, we learned that a smile is the one universal language! Without a doubt, the China of today is very different from that of twenty years ago. One can only imagine how it will look twenty years from now. The Chinese people we met were welcoming, accommodating, proud to show off their cities and country, and excited about China’s future. In addition to visiting the tourist sites, participants experienced a China that most tourists never will. Students saw, first hand, what is happening in China and they gained a better understanding of their role in a changing world.

There was only nine of us who embarked on the 2009 Global Outreach Trip to Swaziland and South Africa last June. We had no idea how great the adventure was that lay before us. No matter how much time we could have had, it would not have been enough to fully appreciate and to partake in all that we experienced. From visiting the Apartheid Museum in Soweto, to teaching arithmetic to children in the S.O.S. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village of Mbabane, to building an aviary at Daktari wildlife orphanage, we could not have dreamed of a wider array of physical and moral challenges than that which we encountered. And we rose to meet those challenges! From the physical demands of clearing land and creating a community garden to the intense discussion that was had at the end of each day

at the handing out of Lekhukhu (a rubber chicken handed out to the most outstanding individual of that day). If one were to make a recipe for the Swaziland Trip, it would be as follows: Two parts laughter One part labour A pinch of solemnity (for the social-justice portion of the trip) Fresh fruit Add dried-and-salted mopane worms to taste A hint of humility, beauty and humanity - all in equal proportions Mix all of the above together, and stir vigorously, exposing the mixture to full sunshine.

On June 17, 2010, the Chairman of the Board , Donald Kirkwood, and the Board of Directors dedicated our newest facility to our departing Head of School Tony Macoun. Starting this September, the newly constructed Tony Macoun Centre for Early Learning will be home to our early learning program, a pre-school providing full and half-day classes to 3 and 4 year olds. Mr. Macoun is retiring after six years of leadership and service to Mulgrave School. Prior to his appointment as Head of School in 2004, Mr. Macoun served as Head at four highly-respected independent schools in Canada and abroad, including, Ashbury College, Pearson College, the Red Cross Nordic United World College in Norway, and Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School in Calgary, AB. According to Mr. Kirkwood, Chairman of the Board, “During his tenure at Mulgrave, it has been Mr. Macoun’s extensive experience and passion for the International Baccalaureate Programme that have redefined and honed the academic focus of the school. His international perspective on learning and life, as well as an uncompromising commitment to a principled education have established a strong tradition of excellence.” The Board’s dedication of the Tony Macoun Centre for Early Learning is in honor of Mr. Macoun’s legacy to Mulgrave.

The rugby season definitely had its ups and downs! At the beginning we were not focusing on the important things, but we improved with every practise and game. We faced our rivals at the ISEA Play Day, we were nervous but ready to play. We tied Collingwood and won convincingly against Saint Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The grass was wet, our feet were cramping, and it was raining hard, but we won in our hearts. Elias Ergas and Matthew Durrans

Triathlon Club was fun; we ran with Mrs. Finlayson on Thursdays and had to train a lot. When Triathlon day came and everybody was excited The swim was 75 meters. Then we dried off and got on the bike to ride for a freezing 5 km. Finally, we ran for 1 km. Crossing the finish line was awesome; I sprinted with all the energy I had left and practically collapsed. Over all the Triathlon was fun. Sydney H. (5H)

Track and Field This year Mulgrave reached another milestone with its 15th annual Jump Rope for Heart, raising funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Our first Jump Rope, with approximately 100 participants, was held on the asphalt tennis courts of the North Shore Winter Club which was then the home of Mulgrave. That was the very first fundraiser in which the Mulgrave community participated. The Heart and Stroke Foundation recognized and thanked Mulgrave for its valuable contributions, presenting our School with a banner marking its 15th year of Jump Rope participation. The Foundation representitive, Ms Coleen Malli, presented Mulgrave with a silver plaque for raising $15,456 in 2009. This is the second highest amount from over 300 schools in Western Canada.

Mulgrave's track and field season, with a record number of 53 athletes participating, was exceptional. Those new to the sport gained valuable athletic experiences, while veterans honed their skills. The practices were twice a week and included sprints, baton-passing, high-jump, shot-put and long runs. Our ISEA track and field meet at Surrey was great fun and we did superbly. Our competitors from grades 4-6 attended various events and brought home some of the top five places. A few of our brave students even tried their hand at long-jump, something we hadn't practiced at all! Even some reluctant first timers enjoyed the day. It just goes to show how inspiring sport can be. All in all, this season was great for all who participated.

The Grade 7 rugby team had a very successful season that included some notable victories over St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Collingwood. The students were constantly challenged to improve their game, developing their basic rugby skills such as passing, tackling and rucking. With the amount of strong performances on the pitch this season, the future looks bright for Mulgrave rugby.

After two years of preparation, we played Sentinel for our first league match. Although Mulgrave won the match by 20-12, we had sustained a number of injuries to key players. The decision was made to withdraw from the NSS league. Nevertheless, the Titans showed that they are committed to their team as every match has produced rugby of a very high standard. Kudos to the Titans for finishing a difficult season off so well!

Following a very successful the tour to the United Kingdom, the Senior Boys rugby team had increased expectations for their regular season. They were intent on returning to the playoffs and competing for a championship; the first for Mulgrave rugby at the senior age group. The season went very well for the boys. They recorded an impressive 7-1 record at the end of regular season play. This provided them with a bye directly into the league semi-finals against McMath Secondary school from Richmond. The semi-final game was played in front of a supportive Mulgrave crowd and the boys came through with a wellearned 31-0 victory, and the right to play in the championship game. In a rain-soaked affair the following week, the Mulgrave Titans took on Windsor Secondary in the New Zealand championship match. The game was played in front of an exuberant crowd of Mulgrave students, staff and parents who all braved the wet and windy conditions to support their team. Mulgraveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenacious defense was put to the test, particularly in the second half, when they were asked to defend their goal line on numerous occasions. In the end, the difference was two penalty kicks which staked Mulgrave to a 6-0 win; a fitting result for such a closely contested match. Special thanks go to our graduating players: Andre Linaksita, Brett Zielke, Charlie Mitchell, Mitchell Weir, Zachary Lim, and Zain Alimohamed, who played their last game for the Titans. Their departures are big loss to the rugby programme at Mulgrave. 91

Both the girls and boys tennis teams consisted of some seasoned veterans and some eager rookies. Our games proved to be exciting challenges especially coming at the end of the season. We won the tieÂ breaker against Rockridge, but unfortunately lost a very close match against West Vancouver in the playoffs. Overall, we were pleased with our efforts. We had a fun and successful season.

The Tennis program this year was outstanding. The senior team had a strong year with Bobby Jelveh leading the team to a fourth place finish on the North Shore. The girls' team improved drastically with previously beginner players finding success at the Zone level. The team worked hard and made it through to the second round of provincial Zone playoffs. The team should be proud of their work this year.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team was an enormous success. We fielded 21 players from grades 7 through 12, and 16 of those players represented Mulgrave in a school competition. We won our first four matches and headed into the midway point of the season in first place. Since taking over as coach of the golf team, I have been committed to developing our younger players. Sitting undefeated and in first place through our first four matches, I had a difficult decision to make. Do I stick with the players who have been successful, or do I stay the course and ensure that everybody has an opportunity to play? Were this basketball or rugby I would have stayed with the best players without hesitation. However, golf is a life-long activity, and upon reflection I needed to commit to the less experienced players, both for the future of the programme, and their future in golf. We finished the year in a very respectable third place and I am tremendously proud of the integrity, determination, and honesty of our players. It was a great year! Mr Sealey 92

Now that graduation is in sight I guess it is time to look back on the 9 years I have spent at Mulgrave. This has been a loooooooong time coming. I’m going to miss seeing all of the friends (including the teachers !!!) I have made here. It’s going to be weird leaving our little family to go and find our feet somewhere else. I’m not that nervous, though, because all of the people I have had supporting me throughout my time at Mulgrave have prepared me well... and despite the homework and the physical and emotional pain brought upon us by these past couple years, in the grand scheme of things I’m glad we got to go through it together! So thank you and congratulations to the grad class of ’ 10! We made it!

Sevan Agopiar

I am so happy to be part of such an amazing group of diverse individuals. 1could not have done without each and every one of you. I want to say thank you to my parents, family, teachers, am friends who were with me every step of the way and a special thank you to my best friend Ciar Kim, who continues to inspire me. My 13 years at Mulgrave have been a tough journey, but 1 hav enjoyed every single experience, memory, and laugh on the way. Honestly, we are the mos beautiful Grad class at Mulgrave! I love you all best of lue1 xoxox <3 Seva

Zain Alimohamed Thank you all for being rungs in a human step ladder; your services have been much appreciated and you all look like ants from up here. Now, obviously what I mean by that (facetious) statement is that I have had, in my eight years at this institution, a tremendous amount of support from all sides without which I could never have achieved any of my goals. As the thank you’s would take up this entire page I will instead offer a general expression of gratitude: THANK YOU! The memories we have forged as a grade will resonate throughout the halls of our minds for all eternity...or at least until the imminent apocalypse in 2012...BAM. DONE, dnsert witty/profound /enlightening quotation here>

Melissa Ar

Don't cry because it came to an end. Smile because it happenet All the memories we made will always stay with us Good bye dear friends. Good luck to you all

Loryn Arnett Grad 2010. We have somehow survived IB. and now we can finally move beyond this era of our teenage years. Remember to leave the grounds with your head held high, and know this: University will be a party compared to good old Mulgs. Congratulations, Graduates... I'll miss you.

Over 13 years Mulgrave has witnessed my awkward transformations from Junior to Middle school then to Senior school. It's finally over, and it feels well worth the wait. Good luck to the grads of 2010 its been fun.

Marize Bakhet We made it! To all the good times, the bad times, the hard work, the uncontrollable fits of laughter, the adventures, and the never ending stack of papers. Thank you Grad 2010 for such a great end to this trip they call high school! Congratulations and best of luck :)

Haig Basmadjian “Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. 1 have to be liked. But it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.” “Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice, strike three.” -Michael Scott

To Andre Linaksita: Sick Belt Buckle Bro!

Mamie Beddis There have been many memories .... I’m sure we’ve all coplained at one point or another about being here, but we probably wouldn’t have had it any other way. It feels as though a grad write-up isn’t complete without some mentioning of IB so here it is: yes, I did consider laminating my notes so I could study in the shower and yes, I did break a sweat playing French grammar games... we’ll just leave it at that. I’d like to thank all my friends for making school enjoyable, working around my paranoia and making me laugh, my teachers for being more than just teachers but almost a part of this grad class and my family for encouraging me to succeed in everything I do. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything and I’m proud to say we have it all. Congratulation Grad ’ 10, we did it!

Anna Bengtson I came to mulgrave in Grade 6 and end now in Grade 12, growing no more than one inch. I noticed with passing years that most of you began to literally grow while I remained staring up your noses and double chins. Despite this fact, I am so thankful that although not literally, I was able to grow with you amazing people of grad 2010! Because of you all I feel like I'm really 6 feet tall and still growing. Thank you parents, teachers and of course my friends-love you all! Anzie

Talia Benson Live with intention - Walk to the edge - Listen hard - Practice wellness - Play with abandon Laugh - Choose with no regret - Appreciate your friends - Continue to learn - Do what you love Live as if this is all there is. - Mary Radmacher .... And do what makes you happy. I will miss you all. It’s time we leave the school with a view and start a new chapter in our lives but I will never forget you. Lots of love.

Alex Bleim I am happy to say that I have truly enjoyed my 13 years here at Mulgrave. It feels like yesterday when we were chasing each other on the tennis courts of the NSWC, playing handball in the parking lot or lying on the field trying to catch a tan. I want to say thank you to all my teachers and advisors for their never ending help and support over the years. Your life lessons have been invaluable and have helped me become the person I am today. I also want to thank my grad class for being so much fun over the years! We have gone through A LOT together and I will cherish (and laugh at) our memories forever. Stay in touch and I wish you all the best for the future! Just remember... Dance as though no one is watching.... Love Alex Xox

Gail Borjiet Thanks everyone for the great times! I’ll miss high school as much as I will miss the uniforms. It was SO great to not have to think of what to wear in the morning, haha. See you all at the reunion

“Life is a journey, our graduation is only our first step out the back door.” I treasure the time I have spent at Mulgrave and will take lessons I’ve learned with me on my further journey. I WISH ALL GRADS BEST OF LUCK AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR OUR REUNION PARTY. LOVE JOSI

Matt Bromley Let me forget about today until tomorrow. If you are looking for me, I'll be down at the crossroads To Haig: Sick Belt Buckle Bro.

I cannot believe I am actually graduating! It has been a long 13 years at Mulgrave, from the North Shore Winter Club to Mount Cypress; there have been so many memories. Now it is finally time for a much needed change. Best of Luck Grad 2010! Words to live by: ‘Be the kind of person your dog thinks you are’

At this point in time, there is a little bit less than 4 months of school. BUT, then again, 4 months in II months is about the equivalent of 10 human months of work piled into 1 day then stretched out to fee like 5 years. As an IB student we should be able to work out exactly how much time that is. However all 1can tell you for sure is that how to spell “international baccalaureate programme” will b< ingrained in my brain forever. I don't know where I will ever use the knowledge of how to spell tha ever again, but, I theorize that I can take the differential of the “international baccalaureat* programme” and estimate the velocity, then obtain acceleration from the second derivative, then usin| integral calculus and quantum physics prove that Einstein’s theory of relativity originates from tha

Jeremy Cox Mulgrave was a experience that I will never forget. As the perscribed difficulty was at time; overwhelming, it was the teachers and friends around me that made it easy. Despite the looming deadlines, it is possible to say that the past two years were made enjoyable. Thanks everyone for the great times

Jenna Hassan 'Motho ke motho ka batho"- Nelson Mandela (A person is a person through other people) To my ’avorite Grads- Nobody becomes who they are by standing alone. We all need each other in this world, because, in some sense, we’re just a fusion of everyone else. Everything we do shapes the people around us and so, it is YOU, Grads, that I want to thank. You have all molded me in some way or another and I'm glad I know you all. I feel connected to us. We are going to change the world ogether-1 know it! So stand tall, sing loudly and smile life you’ve won the lottery- you have. \ special thank you to the rock solid pillars in my life for their tremendous support without which I would not have made it

Pedram Hemati “If all my friends were tojump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them... 1 would be at the bottom to catch them." Without you guys, the two torturous years of IB would have been impossible for me. I can still remember the first few weeks in grade 11 and how scared I was. Everything was new: the community, the school, the people. But now that I’m looking back, I honestly think knowing you guys was worth getting destroyed by IB! I also have to thank all my dear teachers, particularly my advisors who always supported me and gave me motivation to end this looooong journey. I will miss you all... I wish all of you a life full of happiness, success and love.

Scott Hirst 1never thought I would get this far. I proved myself wrong, and I’m sure most of you have the same feeling. It was great to meet you all and 1 hope you get far with your life. See you soon.

Selen Karadeniz Finally Grad! It's been "wonderful” three years with you guys. One day we shall all meet again whether it is at a party, reunion, wedding, or simply the streets of California. But Hawaii, Whistler, Los Angeles, Caprice, Seattle camp, Meet me half way, Tik Tok, Exit 13 (ADT flash lights on), lunch tours, dinner discussions (ADT,AA,AG,SK), The Queen of Diamonds, dance group, mass emails, and grad parties will always stay with me as great memories. Thx to ADT,MB,LM,AB,LT.RP,ARS,MM (minicucci not moore:) SH,DILA,AG,MS,AA. I can’t wait for the moment we all walk out these doors because I know without you I would not be where I am now. Live life to the fullest guys, WE DID IT! ‘It’s always good at the end, if it is not, it’s not the end.’

When I first entered Mulgrave as a little Grade 8 girl, I did not know what I would get myself into. I mean.. .who would have known that I would be writing 4000 word essay on nuclear arms in Korean War, staying up all night to write planning labs, organizing Sharing Our Cultures Weeks (along with sipping the Lee tea every Thursday), listening to Mrs. Willard's 'twinkle twinkle little star' lecture, watching 'movies' in Mr. Lawson's history classes, investigating pH level and microorganisms of Pearson college's sewage, and who knows more... IB's just overloaded... :P My special thanks go to Princess SA, DL, MA, AL, mom, dad, Jeffrey Kim and all the teachers for making my high school years :)

Gorden Larson I do not like leaving close friends - But all good things come to ends - And so we all move on - Soon life as we know it will be gone - 1 will remember you all - Far after next fall - Good luck to our grad class - Our next meeting shall not be our last - We will go out into the world - The map finally unfurled - Oh, all the places we'll go - Whoa.

Let the waitress put the chairs up, let the glasses that she broke form a picture of our leader with a halo made of smoke. Let the Golden Oldies station crackle and come through with a final benediction we'll hum along to, before we say goodnight. Let our talk about the ballgame and the weather show we care, like a sound we didn't notice until it stopped and left us there with the traffic and our heartbeats beating in straight time. Let our hatred and affection march in the same line, before we say goodnight. Oh, protect our secret handshake. Once more, with feeling, let the toast to absent members push through the ceiling, before we say goodnight. Psalm for the Elks Lodge Last Call

It has been eight long years since I first joined Mulgrave, but it feels like even longer. Not that that's a bad thing though; it's these memories that really define who I am today. Friends, family, teachers, I'd like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes, for making these experiences unforgettable. Without all of you, it would never have been the same. Looking towards the future, it only looks bright from here on out. Congrats and best of luck to the grads of 2010. To everyone else, thank you.

Andre Linaksita Cheers to those never ending weeks. Cheers to essays, assignments, commentaries, labs, and tests that we've got through. Cheers to the good times and memories that we shared. Most of all, cheers to you. From here on, the path together through high school has ended and we now separate onto our own. Hope there's a crossroad ahead because I can't wait to see you all again. Remember..."Nothing worth having comes easy" To Matt Bromley: Sick Belt Buckle Bro. Pee. Dre

Being knowledgeable is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Being intelligent is knowing not to put tomatoes into a fruit salad. Being an IB student is knowing all of that, but upon deconstructing the fruit salad, finding a tomato anyways and then having to justify its existence. And that is all you need to succeed in life. Apparently. P.S. Always keep the faith! A.A -(Brought to you by the C.o.V.C.)-

Garo Mavyan Oh man, it took way too long to get to this moment! It was two long, hard years, but we made it. Congratulations Grad 2010, the hard part is over! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that my life as a high school student is over. There were many good times, and many bad times, but it’s one experience that I’ll never forget. Thanks to all those who I shared these years with; AN, MB, AT, SA, PH, MM, ES, TB, MR and so many more! It was a good ride! So, in closing, I would like to leave my peers with a little advice for their future endeavors: “The Tiger can kill the Whale..., but the Whale can swim." Jharo.

Laura McAlduff Maybe I’ll forget you all But for now I’m better having met you all Grad ’10 was always told it was different, and it always kind of sucked.. ..but maybe it was a good thing to have experienced uniqueness before being thrust into a world where everyone might have a different face, but are all regarded as the same. 104

Laura Meakings My ten years at Mulgrave are finally coming to an end, and I could not ask for a better group of people to have experienced it with. To my amazing friends, I would like to say that my life would be SO different without you guys. Thanks for the laughs, the long conversations, and too many inside jokes to count. To my family, I would like to say thank you for all your love and support through everything. I couldn’t have done it without you.So now I leave Mulgrave, but I take with me some great friends, great memories, and absolutely no regrets. I wish you all the best of luck in where ever life takes you. We’ll always have grad 2010! Stay in touch, guys, I’ll miss you. Laura

"I look up to the sky, and now the world is mine, I made it." Congratulations grad class of 2010! It was a pleasure knowing all of you and we will stay in touch. Thank you for all of the great friendships and memories. Good luck to everyone, I will miss you all!

“Everything possible to be believ’d is an image of truth” William Blake This isn’t really goodbye, Class of ’ 10.1 know all of us will go off and do great things, but we’ll always be able to share our incredible stories either at reunions or through the everlasting friendships we’ve made here. Thank you everyone for the laughs, memories, shoulders to cry on, and inspirations... I’ll never forget you guys. Good luck! 105

_______________Mark Montazem Sadighi I would have never thought that over a time period of two years you could gain friends for life. I hope that you guys enjoyed your two years with the German Kid, sometimes crazy, sometimes annoying, but usually always really nice. It will be really tough to say good-bye to all of you, when I will be returning to Germany, but I hope that you guys have an awesome time in university and that we will stay in touch. I am gonna miss you all a lot ! Ich hab euch lieb !

Benjamin Neil This school took my two front teeth during my first year here...Mulgrave has clearly left its mark and I will remember this experience for the rest of my life, the good and the bad. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to wish you all good luck with your lives after Mulgrave. If you have made it this far I am sure you will be successful with whatever you pursue. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to thank teachers, parents and friends for helping me through this year! - Ben

Andrew Neilson Finally Grad! It's been a "fun filled" two years with you guys. I have met some truly amaizing and interesting friends along the way. You know who you are! One day, we might all meet again whether it is at a party, reunion, wedding or a possible job interview, but the most memorable thing at Mulgrave, is being able to get to know you guys and walking out the door for the last time with you. Have great lives, I know we will all be increadibly successful, but remember; "success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer.

Emma Peng I love you all! <3<3<3 AA

Andrea Sun Been here 2 years—-Not a long time.. .IB is really a happy pain! ! Enjoy every seconds I spent with your guys— Enjoy having class in the room which can overlook the sea— Finally..hope you guys enjoy your life in universities!! Cheer up—-

Ashley Szarkowicz “Grad 20101 know that in every university there will be a girl like me; a girl who uses the word ‘hi’ exesively when she first meets you, drinks AT LEAST 5 gallons of water a day, goes on Polish chat 24/7, and is proud of being an immigrant. Well.. .tell her to back off cuz there’s only room for one of us.” “Thank you for being there for me every morning in the Senior Study lounge: Anika-popcorn, Selen TT, Josie Samsung, Mark medieval”

Lauren Thomas Time takes it's crazy toll And I'd like to say that a good portion of that time was spent here with you, grads of 2010. So let the immediate shock of "the end" sink in and then go off and have fun with your lives (and don't let your struggles and triumphs bleed into the wash when you do). But who am I to preach a word or two when I can't lift my own head without you? We’ll find out soon enough.

“The years have been short but the days were long.” The Shins. Mulgrave, it’s been swell. Thanks for the friendships, memories and most importantly, my fantastic international perspective on education. But it’s finally time to be released on the world, so all I’ll say is: CONGRATS GRAD 2010! We made it.

Cassie Tra vlos “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.” (Dr. Suess) Grad 20101 will miss you all so much! You have each made such an impact on my life. I will never forget all the smiling faces, amazing friends, the people I have shared laughs with, and all the unfortunately embarrassing moments I have witnessed and experienced over the years with you all! To Limey, "peace n blessings" and BZ "u will always make me smile":)

Anna Tungusova The end is bittersweet, but it's just the beginning . I hope something shiny and expensive is coming my way. I guess it's time to move on, go to university or at least marry a rich guy. Does anyone know if 'trophy wife' is an official occupation? Because “in order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different” CoCo Chanel. As for the thanks they go to my family; to MB, ARS, SMA, SK, GM, PH, JB; to teachers, especially Mr. Lawson, and everyone who put up with my hardships. I feel like this is one of those bad relationships that just lingers on and you’re too used to the person to let go of them now, well it’s finally over! And I won’t miss you and I won’t be calling you! Except for when I need to give you your stuff back.. .this is awkward.. .well take care <3

Many thanks to my teachers and family members who have supported and helped me get to where I am today. You have opened my heart to the future, and made me believe that truly anything is possible. To my amazing friends, you have made these years memorable. The laughs, the smiles, and the good times will definitely be remembered. So, thank you for holding my hand, and thank you for letting me go... Congratulations Grad 2010!

Mitchell Weir When thinking about Mulgrave, one will always have a sense of the insistent whining by all the students in the IB. I have always just thought how nice it would be if people would just spend more time working since they seemed to have so much time to complain... But then the time came when I could no longer get by with 'night before preparation' and suddenly all my mouth could do in my free time was complain about all the things I should be doing rather than complaining! How I miss the days when I could do no homework at all and get by just listening in class :'( But enough of that.) To my fellow students; I have had countless irreplaceable experiences here. Good or bad I wouldn't give up a single one! I wish you all the best, and will miss most of you.

Well friends, we have finally done it. We have been through the fiery pits of IB hell and survived only slightly scathed. We have ventured into the gallows and come back, apparently smarter. This journey reminds me of a quote: “And when he goes to heaven, to St. Peter he will tell: one more soldier returning for duty sir, I’ve spent my time in hell.” I don’t know who it is by, but there is the strong possibility that it was written by and IB graduate. Anyways, I just want to say that it has been fun, and I’m sure I’ll see you all somewhere down the road, but for now, I leave you with a quote from one of the wisest mean any galaxy has ever seen, Yoda: "Do or do not. There is no ‘try’”.

Many people have been working since September to put this yearbook together. Thanks must go to all of those writers, photographers, artists and editors who helped out this year. In particular, Karen Pinchin, Gerry Thomson and Brooke Wozny who went above and beyond. Leah King from Jostens has been, as always, invaluable.

3#*

Please enjoy your yearbook and remember the highlights of the 2009-2010 year at Mulgrave for many years to come. Nicola Ferguson 16th August 2010
