As we enter the season of gratitude, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what makes MacLachlan College so special—the community, the memories, and the shared journey of growth that binds us all. As alumni relations manager, I’m constantly reminded of how integral our alumni are to maintaining the rich culture and traditions for which MacLachlan is known. This year, more than ever, we have so much to be thankful for.
One of the most exciting changes this year has been the introduction of our lower school’s new playground, which has quickly become a hub of joy and energy. Designed with creativity and inclusivity in mind, this innovative space encourages play and community, both essential to the healthy development of our younger students.
Meanwhile, our upper school’s move to a new, state-of-the-art campus has allowed us to expand programming to meet the needs of our growing student body. This modern facility is already making a positive impact by providing exceptional classrooms and resources to help students excel academically and socially. MacLachlan’s commitment to progress and excellence is stronger than ever, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with our alumni.
Another highlight of the season is our upcoming participation in Movember, a global movement for men’s health. We’re inviting our alumni to join our MAC Movember team once again, bringing creativity and camaraderie to the cause! Last year’s “Mo’s” were truly impressive, and we look forward to seeing your flair this year, whether you’re growing a mustache or cheering from the sidelines.
We also want to express our deep gratitude to our alumni and donors who contribute to the MacLachlan College Educational Foundation. Your generosity has been transformative. Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to provide bursaries, making it possible for families who otherwise might not have had the opportunity to send their children to MacLachlan. These contributions are not just donations—they’re life-changing opportunities, giving students access to an exceptional education that can shape their future. It truly takes a village to nurture and support the next generation of leaders, and your steadfast support makes it all possible.
This season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you—our alumni, families, and supporters. Whether you’re donating, participating in events like Movember, or simply staying connected, you play an essential role in making MacLachlan the extraordinary place it is. Together, we’re building a community that honours its past while eagerly looking toward the future.
To prepare future-ready individuals, we need to share and instill common values across our school community and embed these values in everything we do.
