IMPORTANT: Starting 2024-25 school year attending Orientation in Simcoe is mandatory– we have noticed that students who attend our Orientation have a much smoother transition to the new school in the new country. It is during the Orientation that students meet with the Guidance counselor to discuss the timetable and make desired changes. Students get a school tour which makes the transition into the new school environment much smoother, and students don’t feel lost on the first day of classes. Besides, they get to meet and connect with other international and local students and build much needed peer support groups. We can’t stress enough the importance of orientation. Even though we understand that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that make it hard to attend Orientation, however, we hope that, as a rule, every effort will be made for students to attend Orentation.
