On Monday March 25th Sarah, our Guidance Counsellor & Pathways Coordinator, attended the International Schools Partnership Information Session at the Toronto Police College.
Toronto Police Constable Xiaobo Li, in charge of the
Community Partnerships & Engagement Unit, organized the first information
session to establish a formal partnership with international schools in
Toronto.
The officers stated that there are 500,000 international students in Canada
(and the number is growing)!
The goal for the partnership is to ensure international students feel safe, enjoy their schooling here, understand the differences in law and help achieve their goal of success.
The officers discussed promoting safety awareness (so that student don’t fall victim to person and property offences like robbery, theft and fraud) through community outreach programs.
We are excited to establish this partnership with the Toronto Police!
