Malvern history celebrated as reunion nears
From Beach Metro News – By David Fuller • April 4, 2013 History has found one of the men of Malvern Collegiate again, just a couple months before the school celebrates its 110th anniversary. His name was Sgt. Morris Murray and he was killed on June 6, 1944, which is why his story was last told by this writer when a Malvern Grade 10 class travelled to Normandy, France in March 2009. The students were there to visit his gravesite in Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery along with those of two other Malvern men killed in later battles.

Beach men who flew with Bomber Command are finally recognized
For the majority of the men from Malvern Collegiate Institute who fought in the Second World War, there was one big disappointment in the years after it ended. While many of their comrades in the other services were being honored on the anniversaries of the war, those who flew in bombers were conspicuously left out of the commemorations.

DECADES – 1940s
A wonderful, memorable reunion of early Malvernites was held on May 15th, 2008. This meaningful event took place in both the school auditorium and the library. Eighty-five former students from the 1930s and 1940s attended, and it was a stirring and inspirational day.
