MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, HARRY WIERENGA It has been quite a year at Mulgrave. We have continued apace on our ‘Good to Great’ journey, moving ahead on a variety of fronts, while at the same time, continuing to ensure that each child has a wonderful, unique education and each family feels fully part of our special community. I am indebted to all of the board members who have served the school in a governance capacity the last year. It has been a real team effort, not only by the full board, but also by the present and past parents who have sat on board committees during this period. All of our main committees have been active, but especially the Finance, Buildings and Governance committees who have done good work in overseeing our big projects as well as important board policy development. I am particularly grateful to the board members who are stepping down this year, including Sharon Glover (Past Chair), Ender Ilkay (Vice Chair), and Shelina Neallani who have helped steer the board through some exciting and challenging times in the last six years. While parents and board members play an important part in Mulgrave’s development, there is no doubt that it is the remarkable team of teachers and administration staff that are responsible for the rich Harry Wierenga
educational experience on offer to our children and the continued sense of ambition and development that our school has. They are dedicated, highly skilled and caring people who continually go the extra mile to make a Mulgrave education very special. I am very grateful to them all. The wider Mulgrave community has again played a critical part in the school’s success this year. Our list of
Board Chair
parent volunteers, covering all aspects of school life, is more extensive than ever; there are many ex-parents who are still involved in the school, and we have a large number of alumni who are now reconnected to the school in a variety of ways. It is, however, the way that our community has supported the capital campaign to fund the new senior school project that has really set us apart from similar schools. More than 50% of current Mulgrave families (excluding new families) have now pledged to support the campaign, and this figure is going up every day as we strive to reach our goal. My appreciation goes out to every one of you – however you support our school – for all that you do.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, JOHN WRAY I am pleased to report that it has been another outstanding year at our school. Although work has been happening on the new senior school project, the remainder of the school (with the exception of the sports field) has been unaffected, and our students have continued to excel in all areas of school life. It is impossible in this report to give a full picture of the activities, achievements and experiences of our students across all four divisions of the school. Avid readers of our weekly newsletter, ‘Connexions’, will get a flavour of the breadth, depth and richness of the Mulgrave experience, and beyond that, the opportunity that I have to visit the many classrooms and learning spaces in the school expands this view considerably. Furthermore, it is important to acknowledge the powerful learning that goes on beyond our campus in all four strands of education (academics, the arts, service and athletics and outdoor education), locally, nationally and internationally. I am grateful to the gifted and dedicated team at Mulgrave that makes all of this possible. I will not even try to outline the considerable successes of our students, but I must comment on the 2014 IB Diploma results, which in many senses, are a culmination of the learning that has taken place at Mulgrave – some of which has spanned up to thirteen years for some students. The Class of 2014 broke all previous school records for the IB diploma; they achieved results that put Mulgrave amongst the John Wray
highest performing IB schools in the world, and on the back of this, they achieved some great university placements. Good job! Our school has remained largely full this year, with only a few spaces available in the senior grades. Attrition (students leaving) was extremely low this year and staff turnover also minimal. We are already turning our minds to the next year in admissions and will be holding open houses as usual throughout
Head of School
the fall. It is important that we continue to share Mulgrave’s story with the North Shore community and beyond, and as part of this effort, we will be refreshing the Mulgrave brand in the coming months. As an IB World school, we want our reputation to be known both locally and internationally; our recent membership with the prestigious Council of International Schools (CIS) is an important step in that process. The Board and the leadership teams continue to work together with an eye to the future and to ensure that Mulgrave remains focused on our goal to embrace the most effective of worldwide, best practice at the same time ensuring that every one of our students has a very unique and special educational experience that enables them to fulfil their potential.

MISSION, VALUES AND VISION

MEETING OUR MISSION
OUR VALUES
The Mulgrave Report to the community celebrates our achievements and demonstrates how we meet our mission as an educational institution. This annual publication is distributed to current parents, alumni, alumni families and staff. The 2013–2014 report covers the school year starting in September 2013 and ending October 2014. This report contains only a small selection of our collective achievements. We hope you enjoy reading it and welcome your feedback.
At Mulgrave we believe: • Individual values are based on personal integrity and acting with respect towards others. • Our sense of community and friendship is founded on humility, empathy, commitment and inclusion. • Lifelong learning is built upon curiosity, creativity and innovative thinking. • A global perspective and environmental and social responsibility are central to becoming true world citizens.
OUR MISSION AND VISION • All members of our community strive for balance and understand that striving for one’s personal best should be enjoyable. “It is clear that the school’s Mission Statement is not only well understood by all who make up the school community at Mulgrave, but demonstrated daily through the actions and interactions of the school Leadership Team, faculty, governing body, parents, and most importantly, its students.” – Council of International Schools
Inspiring Excellence in Education and Life By inspiring excellence – the continuous pursuit of personal best – in education and life, Mulgrave strives to equip lifelong learners to thrive in a culturally diverse and interdependent world and to embrace, with passion and confidence, their responsibility always to do their best to support others and to make a difference by serving their communities, both locally and in the world at large.
WHO WE ARE • Mulgrave is a co-ed, non-denominational International Baccalaureate (IB) World School predominantly serving the North Shore of Vancouver. • As an independent day school with a reputation for academic excellence, we offer the IB curriculum in Pre-K through to Grade 12 in a spectacular West Vancouver setting: - Primary Years Programme (Pre-K to Grade 5) - Middle Years Programme (Grade 6 to 10) - Diploma Programme (Grade 11 and 12) • Academic, athletic, artistic and service opportunities comprise the four strands of a Mulgrave education. Our well-being is celebrated, but giving back and making a difference through both local and international projects are an integral part of our community.
THE MULGRAVE DIFFERENCE • Highly skilled, caring and committed teachers who go the extra mile to support each child • Small class sizes, with three classes per grade through the Junior School • Outstanding university preparation • Well-rounded education with a focus on personal growth and leadership • Commitment to holistic education involving athletics, the arts and community service • Innovative school focused on teaching 21st century skills • Rich array of co-curricular opportunities • Key features include Mandarin and the use of technology to enhance learning “Mulgrave is a close-knit community – almost like a second family. The teachers listen to you and want your feedback because they, like we as students, reflect on their teaching and use our feedback to improve their practice and support us more effectively as we strive to meet our potential.” – Mulgrave Student 5
MULGRAVE 2020 STRATEGIC PLAN Mulgrave’s Strategic Plan lays out a vision for the future development of our school. It was approved by the Board following extensive community consultation in 2011. During the coming year, the Board will embark on a further inclusive strategic planning process that will culminate in the publication of a new strategic plan by the end of 2016. During the past year, we have achieved significant progress in our eight key strategic plan focus areas. Below are some of the highlights of our journey from good to great in the last year: STRATEGIC GOAL #1 Personalisation of Learning, Support and Curriculum • Further expansion of the Learning Support teams in Junior and Upper School, providing support for students who have a range of additional learning needs • Expansion of the Associate teacher scheme to all K-2 classrooms, allowing greater individual attention and support at this critical stage • Further development of the LEAP Elective programme in the Middle School to give students a wider range of elective academic and non-academic choices that meet their needs and interests • Embedding of assessment for learning strategies, especially increased use of diagnostic feedback and rubrics as part of the learning and reporting process • Further expansion of the use of standardised and assessment data to monitor student performance and plan appropriate intervention • Revised Units of Inquiry in the Junior School with more open ended inquiry approaches
6
STRATEGIC GOAL #2 Development of Modern 21st Century Skills, Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 • Further planning work completed in framing a K-12 skills continuum and mapping skill development across the school with the aid of specialist software • New digital literacy courses introduced at the start of the year • Focus on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in the Middle School

STAFF
STUDENTS
Mulgrave is blessed with an outstanding teaching faculty. Talented and world class in every sense, our teachers are IB teaching professionals who are passionate about what they do and are continuously looking to do things better.
Inspiring excellence in education and life is our mission. We go to great lengths to ensure our students receive the personalised guidance, care and support they need to find their passions, become lifelong learners, and grow into their roles as stewards of a changing world.
“All of you [teachers] have inspired this friendship with the world for our children. For that, we are deeply grateful and we feel fortunate to be part of the Mulgrave community. Henry Brook Adams says, ‘A teacher affects eternity; he (she) can never tell where his (her) influence stops.’ Please know your influence will continue to inspire our children as they undertake their life journey.” – Mulgrave Parent “They are passionate educators who work tirelessly to present a curriculum that is rich, personalised, and engaging. Most importantly, they take the time to get to know their students and encourage them to reach their true potential.” – Mulgrave Parent

CURRICULUM AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE Mulgrave offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme to all students. We believe the IB is the best education available today to help prepare our students for tomorrow. It is through an IB education that we can equip our students to become true global citizens, and develop the skills and qualities they need to thrive in their future lives. The three IBO programmes are: • Primary Years Programme (Pre–K to Grade 5)
• Middle Years Programme (Grade 6 to 10)
• Diploma Programme (Grade 11 and 12)
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. ACADEMIC RESULTS Our results for 2013–2014 are strong overall and continue to show improvement in key areas. A brief overview of examination results is provided.

THIS IS OUR MULGRAVE — OUR SCHOOL
FOUNDATION BOARD
We often call Mulgrave ‘a second home’ and not just because we spend a lot of time here. Families at Mulgrave get involved, become committed and care deeply about the well-being - not just of their own children – but of the whole community. Teachers and students say the same thing: This is our Mulgrave. Our School. And in the habit of all good IB learners, we take action to show that we belong and that we care. Every day and often on the weekends, parent volunteers are to be seen giving endlessly of their time and talents to help where they can; teachers go above and beyond to support students in their learning and students themselves reach to new heights of personal best and give back in service to their communities. Our Mulgrave community also gives generously in financial support for the Schools’ development. We are deeply grateful to the many Mulgrave families and teachers who have supported the future of our School with a financial contribution in the 2013-14 school year. This includes the 96% of full-time teaching and administrative staff who have donated to the new Senior School capital campaign. Thank you, Our Mulgrave Community, for your support.
