What Sets Us Apart
With 9 major councils and over 40 clubs operating at
Malvern, every student can particpate in extracurricular
programs. A Grade 9 Co-Curricular Fair gives our new
Malvernites an opportunity to learn how they can become
involved beyond the classroom. Each year our teams win
major regional and city-wide championships and go on to
represent Toronto at the provincial level. Our athletes,
parents and coaching staff are dedicated to the development
and continued success of our athletic programs at Malvern.

Parent and Community Engagement
Malvern maintains strong links with its alumni group: the Red and
Black Society. This group meets regularly and is involved with many
initiatives. Malvern works with a very supportive parent community
who contribute directly to the operation of the school through the
Malvern Home and School Council. Parents support the school by
funding awards for commencement and attending a variety of school
activities. The Music Parents' Council also meets monthly facilitating
fundraisers and events. A safe, inclusive & equitable learning climate
is essential if students are to succeed in school. Malvern’s School
Climate Council is a community based team that includes parents,
students, staff, administration & community organisations which
examines & responds to major issues regarding Malvern’s social
climate with a focus in areas of safety, equity, inclusion & respect.
