December 21, 2018 'Twas the night before break, and all through the halls Not a noise could be heard, no reception phone calls; The decor was hung, music lingered in the air, And students now hoping some rest would be theirs; Yule duelers had dueled, good cheer they spread, And teachers still stuffed from the buffet shortbread... It's been a busy lead-up to the festive season and we hope you all enjoy a wonderful break with your loved ones. However you spend the coming weeks - rest, relaxation, celebrations, adventures - we wish you all the best. Here's to another great year ahead...we'll see you in 2019!
Click on the image for a few festive pics! It was quite a party! The school was filled with incredible energy last night as we celebrated our 25th Anniversary, opened the West Wing, cheered on players in the Alumni basketball games, and reconnected with people we hadn't seen in years.
It was an honour to have Linda Hamer, our founding Head of School, celebrate with us. Her vision and commitment set Mulgrave up for long-term success, innovation and excellence. We've captured some of those early stories in a series of videos that were featured last night, and that are also on our website. Enjoy!
Click on the image above for some video highlights and click here for a few photos of the event, as well as other happenings from the week. And, if you are looking for photo booth pics, you'll find them here. We'll have more in-depth coverage in the first 2019 issue of Connexions. As part of their studies in Grade 11 DP Film, students created a scene in the style of a well-known filmmaker. The theme for this assignment was 'Christmas'. Students in both Ms. Anson's and Ms. Kohler's classes worked together to create two storylines that have been edited together for your holiday enjoyment. Kick holiday reading into OverDrive!
Students in Grade 6 and above can use their Mulgrave Google username and password to access more than 800 eBooks and 100 audiobooks through the OverDrive Library. There are lots of popular titles, including Harry Potter, The Girl with the Red Balloon and Fear.
