The Power of Community

Dear Mulgrave Community,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits, surrounded by the vibrant energy that permeates our remarkable community. As I reflect on the profound impacts of our alumni in advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives within their immediate circles and far beyond, I see them as the torchbearers of our school’s vision and values. They draw upon their diverse experiences and backgrounds to propel change and foster a culture of inclusivity that is instrumental in shaping a more equitable and compassionate society.

It is truly remarkable to witness the transformative power of their contributions. Engaged in grassroots movements, community-based organisations, and advocacy groups, our alumni are addressing systemic inequities and injustices that persist in our world.

That said, our alumni are committed to creating a better future for others and pushing through barriers and uncomfortable conversations, even if it is an arduous and complicated process.

I invite you to delve into the stories shared by Kian Abghari ‘08, Ashleigh Kearns ‘14, and Mac Walsh ‘19 on the following pages. These narratives encapsulate the essence of their journeys and offer a glimpse into the transformative power of unity, empathy, and unwavering dedication. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of our society, let us remember that the strength of our community lies in the collective commitment of our alumni, students, families, faculty, and staff.

With deep appreciation,

Rachel Johnston (she/her) Alumni Relations Coordinator Class of ‘14
