Malvern never rests. Since
our winter holidays we have
been a whirlwind of activity
and achievement. Every day,
all day, Malvern is filled with
the sounds of students partic-
ipating in clubs, drama, ath-
letics, art, music and more.
Students work with teachers
at lunch and before and after
school to get extra help to
improve their academic per-
formance. Thank you to Mal-
vern’s dedicated staff who
work long hours to ensure
that all students have the
opportunity to succeed at
both academics and extra-
curriculars.
The Social Justice Confer-
ence during the week before
March Break was an out-
standing week of workshops,
speakers, films and hands on
learning. Thank you to Mr.
Izzo, Ms. Furgiuele and the
dedicated team of students
from the School Climate
Council who worked tirelessly
over many weeks to organize
the Conference and all the
events. This year Malvern had
a greater number of partici-
pants and a wider variety of
workshops, including some
delivered in French than ever
before. A group of students has
been working with a Board
representative on the issue of
harassment and gender identi-
ty; these students have pre-
sented to Grade 9 classes on
these issues and are now a
respected resource for junior
students. Pink Day, which was
on April 8th, was a resounding
success. Thank you to Mr. Izzo
and the MSASS students for
their hard work in putting to-
gether this event again this
year.
The Arts are important at
Malvern and there have been
many memorable moments
over the last few months. On
April 8th Malvern students were
featured in Sounds of Toronto
at Massey Hall. The choir had a
featured performance and stu-
dents also performed with the
Board-wide band. Our students
also performed in numerous
Christmas parades, the Easter
parade and Drumline competi-
tions. As this newsletter is be-
ing written a group of music
students are on their way to
New Orleans to perform at the
prestigious New Orleans Jazz
& Heritage Festival. The M Fac-
tor competition was held on
April 10th and the winning solo-
ist was Olivia Terenzio and the
winning group was Whiplash
comprised of Isaac Teague,
Paget Divljakovic, Dylan
Rochon-Terry, Matthew Ireland,
Ethan Peters, Bryan Suther-
land, Sofia Miller and Russell
Lamey. Thank you to all the
competitors for a remarkable
evening of entertainment and
congratulations to Olivia and
Whiplash. A huge thank you to
Mr. Falla and Ms. Norris for
