Personalized services for students
Class Representatives
Each year, the class representatives are elected by the members of the student body. They encourage open communication by representing their class when speaking to teachers and members of the administration, as well as by conveying all important college information to their classmates. They participate in scheduled meetings where they are consulted on aspects of student life, and they must prepare a report at the end of each school year with the purpose of sharing comments and suggestions.
In addition, the class representatives are involved in the organization and the promotion of the college's various social and cultural activities. They also play an important role in welcoming new and returning students, thus fostering the sense of belonging and creating a harmonious living environment in the college.
Student Activities
Numerous social activities are organized throughout the year and student involvement in these events is strongly encouraged. These activities give students the opportunity to develop a deeper sense of social-conscience, while promoting solid leadership and teamwork skills. At the same time, participation in these activities help forge social networks and an overall feeling of unity within the student body.
The College's extracurricular activities may vary from year to year, according to interest and availability. They serve to round-out students’ otherwise academic school experience, and generally include the following:
- Welcome Day
- Multicultural Day
- ‘Themed’ monthly events: Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Western Day, Sugar Shack, etc.
- Clubs and committees : Environmental, Health, First Aid and Security, Travel, and Charity Fundraisers
- Graduation activities
- Also, much attention is given to the promotion of healthy and active living through awareness campaigns, and to encouraging students’ participation in our sports teams.
