THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"Kindness and tenderness are not signs of weakness and despair but

manifestations of strength and resolution."

Homework at Maple Leaf International School


At Maple Leaf, we work to enable each student to succeed in school.  Successful students make connections between what is taught in school and what is experienced outside the classroom.  When these connections are made students may be acquiring or consolidating new knowledge, they may be practicing new skills, or they may be preparing for future experiences.  This is homework.

A few senior students actually got to sit down with Mr Harper for a discussion. Our pan group played an impressive version of O'Canada for him.

Here are some websites that describe his visit.

From the article ‘What I learned in First Year' p.10.

1. University/College is not too difficult for you and you need not worry all summer about the work load. Yes, you will need to work hard - from the very first day - and there are many support services to assist you. Universities do want you to succeed. Courses have on line support advice/questions and a service is available when you need help to format your first essay!

2. Get to know your TA's (Teaching Assistants). TA's not only lead your seminars and tutorials but also mark your essays, tests and assignments. They are the first stop for advice and help. Make sure they know your name and always do your readings before the tutorial!

3. Sleep at least 7 hours each night you have classes!

4. Arrive at every class early! Sit in the front row beside a student who is not going to talk, cough, text message or sleep!

5. Ditch the bulky book bag.

6. Prepare before the lecture and do the assigned readings!
