The Nova Scotia International Student program is looking for Student Ambassadors for the 2018-2019 School Year. Student ambassadors work with and mentor students who come to Canada for a term or for the entire school year. The ambassador will be a liaison between staff and students and help students get settled.  They also help organize fun events for students while they are studying in Canada.  Students come from Europe, Asia and South America and ambassadors make lifelong friends.  Student Ambassadors should to be non IB students who have some free time to spend with students daily.  If you are interested and want to know more see Mr. Trivett in the library.
