DEPARTING FACULTY

This year, we say farewell to a few long-serving Mulgrave faculty as they transition to well-deserved retirement or move on to different adventures in other parts of the country. To stay in touch, be sure to look them up on Mulgrave Connect.

MARK STEPHENS

DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT | 20 YEARS Mark has been described as the Swiss Army knife of Mulgrave… adaptable and useful for many tasks! He started at the school as a band teacher and in subsequent roles in community development and outreach, he has been involved in creating many of the traditions that we enjoy today with events such as Convocation and full-school assemblies. Mark’s incredible photography skills and trumpet talents will be forever part of our school’s fabric.

MARTIN JONES

ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL | 19 YEARS Joining us nearly two decades ago, Martin has held a multitude of roles of increasing responsibility from Junior School Physical Health Education Intern, through PHE, English, and math teacher, Upper School Head of PHE, Middle School Vice Principal and Principal, and most recently Assistant Head of School. Additionally, Martin has been a beloved rugby coach, evolving our programme into an incredible opportunity for exploration and competition for student-athletes.

Favourite memory: “There are many, but they all stem from an invitation for a ‘coffee’ introduction to a new-ish school called Mulgrave. It turned out to be a panel interview with about 10 people in the boardroom. Agility is the name of the game at Mulgrave!” Favourite memory: “Accompanying the G9-12 Boys Rugby Team on a tour to Argentina and Uruguay. It was an amazing cultural learning experience and as a result of this shared experience, I am still closely connected to many of the students who came on the trip.”
