MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, SHARON GLOVER During the period of this report, I am struck by the accomplishments of our students and the incredible level of support from our community. Thank you to all of you, parents, teachers and students alike, for your hard work, dedication and wonderful sense of community spirit. I would like to thank all Board members who have served during this period. All our Board members are parent volunteers and during the last year, have made a significant commitment to our school in terms of their time to begin detailed planning on various aspects of our strategic plan. Indeed, this past year has seen the implementation of several key issues related to our strategic plan. The Middle School’s LEAP elective programme as well as other initiatives related to personalised learning throughout each division are now being implemented. The Board has also made significant progress on developing plans for the new Senior School, and we look forward to bringing these plans to fruition over the next few years. It has been my pleasure to hold the position as Chair of the Mulgrave Board of Directors. I have been a Board member since 2007 and both my children have enjoyed a wonderful education at Mulgrave. As many of you know, I have decided to step down from this position. It has been an honour serving as Sharon Glover
Chair and my plan is to remain on the Board as a Director. Many thanks to you all for supporting me in this role. The success of Mulgrave today is built on outstanding students, the remarkable commitment of parents and incredibly skilled educators. I hope everyone involved in our school in the years to come will
Chair of the Board

continue to build on that legacy.
MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, JOHN WRAY The period October 2011 – October 2012 has been an important one as we begin to see the initial impact and continued planning of a number of key initiatives that will create the foundations for our ‘Good to Great’ journey. While a Mulgrave education has and will always be about a well-rounded holistic education based on the four strands of education, we have taken a number of steps to strengthen the academic IBO programmes that sit at the heart of our provision. In the Senior School we have seen a record set of Diploma results for our graduating class and students once again, accessing an impressive range of university options. Further improvements in the quality of teaching, an increased selection of Diploma electives, the diagnostic use of attainment data and increasingly personalised support and personalised learning should see further gains in the achievements of our graduating classes. In the Middle School we have spent the last year consulting about and planning the re-structured curriculum. September 2102 saw the introduction of a reinforced MYP core academic curriculum plus a wide range of afternoon academic and non-academic elective programmes to allow students to pursue their own interests and passions. John Wray
In the Junior School we have continued to develop the PYP curriculum, but have begun to take a much more focused look at the core strands of Math, Reading and Writing with a view to strengthening these basics skills even further. In September all our K and 1 classes were given a full time teaching assistant to help support personalised learning. In the Early Learning Centre we have continued to move to the full implementation of the early years
Head of School
PYP and the use of play and experiential learning within this framework. Further work has been undertaken in planning the systematic and progressive development of key 21st century skills, and while it will take several years to complete this work thoroughly, we have made big strides forward in the use and application of IT skills particularly in the Junior School with the introduction of the Grade 3–6 iPad programme. Our programmes in Athletics, the Arts, Service and Outdoor Education have all seen significant development and increased levels of student achievement in the last 12 months. It has been very rewarding to see our students so enthusiastically balance their academic studies along with their strong commitment in these areas. Overall it has been another very good year for Mulgrave and a key year for taking our educational quality to the next level. Thank you to everyone in our community who has played their part in this success. 3

ALUMNI
Parents play an integral role in our community – key partners in the shared care and success of our students. With their invaluable support and input, we strive collaboratively to help our students reach their true potential. Whether involved in social events, volunteering in the library, or cheering on our teams, our parents share the Mulgrave vision of inspiring excellence in education and life. We are incredibly grateful for how much they do to make our community what it is today.
The Mulgrave Volunteer Parents Association (MVP) helps coordinate all parent volunteer, social and fundraising activities with the school. Working together with staff and parents, the MVP’s primary goal is to sustain Mulgrave’s sense of community and foster a broad-based spirit of participation. The range of talent and volunteer spirit knows no bounds when it comes to the MVP. We cannot thank them enough for the amazing work and countless volunteer hours they generously give year upon year.

STUDENT LIFE Listening to the voices of our students on how to best improve the quality of education at our school is an important part of who we are. Senior School students as Prefects and House Captains hold positions of considerable influence in the school. This past year, we have endeavoured to build upon a structured approach to student voice to ensure we engage students dynamically in dialogue about all facets of school life. This will continue to be a focus for 2012-2013.

A TRIBUTE TO MULGRAVE PARENTS There are many good schools in the world but – by contrast – very few that can be described as ‘great’. Just what is it that defines a ‘great’ school? Arguably, one of the key indicators is the strength of the teacher-student-parent triangle: excellent teachers inspiring talented students supported by committed parents. The impact of the learning triangle reaches far beyond the classroom: it changes students, it changes families, it changes communities and it changes the world. Such are the great schools of the world: they are change-makers. We recognise and thank the many Mulgrave families who strengthen learning at Mulgrave. Whether through ongoing financial support or by donating their time to the school as volunteers, Mulgrave parents make a daily commitment to enabling Mulgrave’s strategic destiny: “ ...from Good to Great.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Mulgrave’s record of leading educational development and innovation is well established. At a time when much discussion is focused on transforming teaching and learning to include the development of 21st century skills and personalised learning, Mulgrave continues to lead the way. We continue to: • Ensure that students are challenged and supported to achieve their personal best in academics and other areas of school life • Enable opportunities for students to explore their passions and interests within the framework of the rigorous IB programmes • Provide flexibility in how, where and what children learn at and beyond school • Embrace new technologies to enhance student learning and achievement • Spearhead a range of professional learning initiatives for our teachers to help them be at the cutting edge of practice • Set in place a long term development plan for our facilities – a plan which addresses current issues, as well as clearly defines a road map for the future
