Our Jr. Boys 'A' Basketball team played in the Tier 1 ISAA Championships January 19th-20th for the first time in school history. We were a little nervous going in, as the best basketball teams from independent schools across the province were participating.

In our first game, we faced off against a very athletic and physical team from Brentwood College. We gained a small lead in the opening minutes of the game and battled hard to... Read more

Mulgrave's annual Grade 7 Science Fair provides students with the perfect opportunity to conduct an experiment based on their own interests. The project begins with curiosity and a question that needs answering, then takes students on a journey of self-directed discovery, making science relevant and really, really fun!

Hear from a few of the Grade 7s as they describe their project and what they enjoyed about the Fair. We were impressed with hard work of all participants, well done!

SPIRIT WEEK 2018

Bring $2 to support the Vision Rescue Foundation (VFR) – an organisation created and led by Mulgrave students. VFR is a non-profit devoted to providing better optometry care of those in need. They've already assisted 300 children, but need help with a project aimed at providing 50 Rx spectacles to children in rural areas.

How old was she when she started skiing? What's the coldest weather she's skied in? Favourite mountain and most essential gear? These are just a few of the questions we asked when we had the chance to do a quick Q&A with Grade 5 student, Lara M. Enjoy a good read with this fiercely determined, incredibly thoughtful young athlete. 

The Grade 5 students are learning about the Design Cycle and how they can use design to be more collaborative and creative problem-solvers. This week, they took on a design challenge as a fun way to apply what they have been learning in the classroom. With cue cards and some tape, they were asked to build a free-standing skyscraper. The students excitedly went to work. After 10 minutes, a twist was introduced – Mr. Lee brought out a wind machine. About 50% of the paper structures remained stable, while the others fell over. Not every group was successful, but it's safe to say they all enjoyed putting theory into practice. 

A reminder to parents: If your child is absent, email Lynn Orsmond at attendance@mulgrave.com with your child's first and last name, grade, and the reason they will not be at school.

Mulgrave is the school it is today because of the dedication of our founding families' drive for excellence, coupled with the vision and passion that our current families possess. Our success can be attributed to the combined efforts of the entire Mulgrave community, past and present, and perhaps nobody believes this more than the Shepards - Curt, Helaine, Taylor, and Kate.
