Leadership

We strongly encourage all members of our community - students, staff and parents/guardians - to develop and utilise their leadership skills in all areas of life.

In addition to our culture of leadership, our school has a formal leadership structure:

The Head of School and the School Leadership Team direct the school's operations on a day-to-day basis. View our Organisational Structure Chart.

The Board of Directors sets and oversees the strategic direction of the school. Learn more about the key roles of the Board and Head of School.

The Mulgrave Advisory Board advises the Head of School and the Board of Directors on the school’s broad educational provision and philosophy, international innovations and trends in PK-12 education, and our role within BC's education system.
The Mulgrave Foundation works behind the scenes to raise funds to support the school development and activities.

Students also have formal leadership structures in the form of our Student School Strategic Leadership Team and Student Councils.

We are grateful for the care and expertise that each of these groups contributes to our school and community.
