Go to student orientation
This is a great way to find your way around your school, learn about the services available to you, and to meet some friends!
Volunteer on campus
Huron International School has volunteer programs. At HIS, you can be an international student ambassador, a peer volunteer in the International Student Services Office, you can volunteer to take notes for students with disabilities, and much more!
Go to events
There are many organized activities for students all year round — some are social, and others are opportunities to expand your perspectives and network. Try something you’ve never done before, like snowshoeing or skating with your fellow students!
Familiarize yourself with student services
There are teams of people waiting to help you. Whether it’s writing papers, academic advice, or making sure you’re making the most of your high school experience in Canada (including offices specifically for international students), there’s support tailored just for you.
Make friends from everywhere
It’s easier to find people from home to make friends with — and you should! But make an effort to branch out — other international students and Canadians alike are looking for new friends just like you.
