PROS PER LI U Prosper has been at Mulgrave since Grade 7, and in that time, has participated in a myriad of activities, both in and outside of school. Over the years, he has been a member of MSAC, an executive member of Mulgrave Public Square, and a volunteer Ambassador. Prosper is an accomplished cellist. He is a member of the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra and the WVYB and participated at the Casalmaggiore International Music Festival and the North Shore Music Festival. Prosper’s favourite Mulgrave memory was the Grade 10 Fall Camp trip to Rivers Inlet. His most memorable out of school achievement was receiving his RCM ARCT Diploma in Piano Performance. This accolade represents all the hard work and long hours that he has put into playing piano and symbolises a major milestone. Prosper has been accepted to a number of universities, including the UBC, the University of Waterloo, the University of Toronto, New York University, and the University of Washington. Prosper intends to attend NYU in the fall.
EMAN U ELE MAI N O LI It was Grade 6 when Emanuele joined Mulgrave. Since then, he has shared his passion for the environment with all of us. This has led him to be the head of the Garden Club and the leading prefect on green issues at Mulgrave. Many teachers’ dinners have been enhanced by the produce from our school garden, and we are grateful to Emanuele and the other members of the club for taking such great care of our garden. Emanuele’s favourite memory of Mulgrave was the Grade 9 trip to Eastern Canada; however, it is his love for cars and how things work that Emanuele will be most remembered for. This includes his Extended Essay on how humidity affects the discharge of electrical current; his creative design skills are to be admired. Emanuele is looking forward to continuing his passion into how things work by studying engineering next year at the University of British Columbia.
PR IYAT MAI R Priyat joined Mulgrave at the start of Grade 11. Having spent much of her life in Tanzania, the biggest challenge for her was to adapt to a new culture and to make new friends. Before too long, she established new friendships with our Afghan students and has been instrumental in helping them learn English. She has been an active member of the Sparks Club where she has helped to write and illustrate a storybook titled “Sofia Plants a Bird” for the Early Childhood programmes in Sparks Academy in Kabul and here at Mulgrave. One of Priyat’s fondest memories is helping young children with arts, crafts, and colouring books in a hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Her kind spirit allows her to connect with younger children in a genuine way and so her volunteer work is much appreciated. Next year, she plans to study arts or business at either Simon Fraser University or UBC.
