Momentum, Mulgrave’s Annual Fund

MOMENTUM, MULGRAVE’S

ANNUAL FUND

The Momentum Annual Fund is vital to the school’s strategic mission and vision.

While tuition fees provide funds for Mulgrave’s operational costs, our annual fund covers the ‘margin of excellence’ that sets Mulgrave apart and allows us to provide an enriched, personalised education within spaces that are tailored to learning and exploration.

Gifts to Momentum support nearly every area of operations, including educational programmes, teacher professional development, maintenance and improvement of the campus and facilities, and financial assistance for students who would otherwise not be able to access our school. The annual fund also allows Mulgrave the flexibility to take advantage of new opportunities in dynamic and innovative ways.

Each year, every contribution makes a difference. In the 2021-22 school year, Momentum supported 21 student learning areas through the generosity of Mulgrave’s community.

2021 • 2022 GRADE CHALLENGE

The Grade Challenge is a fun way to encourage participation in Momentum. Points are awarded based on participation rates, and our goal is for all families to take part in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them.

Congratulations to our PK3 families for winning the 2021-22 Grade Challenge! Nearly 60% of PK3 families contributed to Momentum. We are grateful to our families for modeling the Mulgrave values of empathy, commitment, and social responsibility to our students from a young age.

The challenge will continue in 20222023 and we look forward to seeing the continued momentum that we will build as a community.

Mulgrave’s commitment to inspiring excellence in education and life has always been something that makes the school stand out. We are happy to support this mission and we gladly chose to contribute to Momentum to ensure that our child has an outstanding place to learn and grow, and that future generations of students can benefit, too.”

We are happy to be involved in our children’s education, and show our support by investing in Mulgrave’s long-term vision. By donating to the Head’s Priority Fund, we trust that the school will invest in innovative learning practices that will allow our children to develop essential skills they will need in later years and once they graduate from Mulgrave.

We have been happy to see that students are excited to expand their learning with programmes like YELL, and we are grateful that we have staff with the expertise to guide them. We believe that Mulgrave is equipping our children with global values that will greatly benefit them in life, and we believe our gifts can help enrich their educational journey.”
