Our Community

HELAINE SHEPARD Alumni Parent of Taylor, ‘08 and Kate, ‘12 Supporter of Imagine, MPower, and Momentum campaigns

“It is my pleasure to be an active member of the Mulgrave community. Even though our youngest daughter graduated eight years ago, the school’s core values transcend well beyond graduation and into the various phases of all our lives. I am honoured to serve as a member of the Mulgrave School Board of Directors, Alumni Advisory Board, Governance Committee, and the Nominations Committee. I thoroughly enjoy working alongside like-minded people who share the same values and vision; their unwavering dedication to serving this outstanding school is inspiring. This community is truly the heart and soul of Mulgrave - it is where friendships begin, grow, and flourish.”

TRACEY DIXON Staff and Alumni Parent of Hannah, ‘18 and Zoe-Rae, ‘16 Supporter of Momentum Community Relief Fund, MPower, and Imagine campaigns

“Mulgrave is my home away from home. The sense of community here is immense, and the opportunity to grow and learn permeates into the walls. You feel the energy when you walk in the building, which creates the excitement to be here every day. Mulgrave has done so much for me and my daughters, and continues to be an extremely important part of our lives. Giving shows the appreciation I feel for Mulgrave School and is a way for me to say ‘thank you’ for all that the school has done and continues to do for families.”

For many of us, Mulgrave is a second home. Parents, students, faculty, and staff all work with each other, both in and outside the school, to create a community that allows for individuals to thrive while tending to the bonds that create unity. This community places an emphasis on the value of giving back, and the result is a shared sense of partnership and togetherness as we all work towards a common vision for the future of our school.

ROSA YIP Teacher, Mandarin Junior School Supporter of MPower and Imagine campaigns

“It is my tenth year working at Mulgrave and having my own dedicated Mandarin classroom has always been my dream. Mulgrave donors brought this dream into the real world. Our small class sizes allow for more active learning, while having a language arts room specifically for Mandarin enables students to be surrounded and inspired by Chinese culture. Moreover, in the past year, the Mandarin programme has integrated new media and technology into student learning, creating a sense of engagement and interconnectedness.”

RHONDA BEAUPRE Teacher, French Middle School Supporter of MPower campaign

“Mulgrave is a supportive and close-knit community that keeps students at the heart of all decisions that are made. The school is always thinking forward and encouraging growth, and it is in large part because of donors that we are able to actualise these ideals. Over the last year, our department received several resources which allowed students to interact authentically in French. Mulgrave’s culture of giving directly improved choice amongst our learners, enabled us to provide individualised support, and allowed teachers to plan ahead and grow as professionals.”
