NOVEMBER BREAK CAMP
Our November break camp offers students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 an opportunity to expand their learning while also having fun.
In collaboration with the Mulgrave teachers leading the camps, we have developed a balanced programme that will expose students to age-appropriate activities that span the curriculum.
TODAY! WEST VAN DERBY: MULGRAVE VS. COLLINGWOOD
Alright Mulgravians, it's time to bring out your school spirit for our inaugural West Van Derby happening today, October 13th.
It's a doubleheader soccer match: Mulgrave vs. Collingwood. The Junior Boys team plays at 3:00pm and the Senior Boys team plays at 4:30pm.
If you can't make it to the field, we'll be live-streaming the event on our YouTube channel. Tune in at 3:00pm for all the action!
LEADERSHIP & SERVICE: KENYAN BOYS CHOIR
The Kenyan Boys Choir is returning again to Mulgrave to say "hello" and perform for our G7-10s at a special assembly from 9:40-10:45am on Monday, October 16th. This event is part of their WE Day tour and promotion for the great work of ME to We service learning trips, especially to Kenya and Tanzania, which we participate in through our G8-9 GEx expeditions.
The choir is a group of exceptionally talented youth performers, drawn from different high schools, colleges, and universities within Kenya. They will sing and perform as well as share an important message about the value of getting engaged and making the world a better place. They will also reconnect with our GEx Tanzania team from last year and our choir and music programme through Ms By.
Parents are invited to attend!

ALUMNI REMEMBER: "MS. MORGAN, TO ME YOU ARE..."
The loss of one of Mulgrave's most inspiring teachers, Ms. Morgan, has left many of us with heavy hearts. Anyone who was taught by her knows her magic, and we couldn't be more thankful for her positivity, strength, knowledge, and courage. These are some of the words our alumni shared to describe the vibrant force that was Ms. Morgan.
If any alumni have a 'best memory of Ms. Morgan' they would like to share, a tribute piece is being put together for Mulgrave's student-run newspaper, the Mulgrave Gazette, that will go out at the end of this month.
Please email your memory to alumni@mulgrave.com by Wednesday, October 18th for it to be included.
