CN tower and Ripley’s’ Aquarium Trip

On February 08^th, 2019, the CN tower and Ripley’s’ Aquarium trip was held for new and current students. The trip was sponsored by St. Clair College in coordination with St. Clair College Ace Acumen Toronto. The SRC president Holly Nicholson had purchased the tickets for the trip.

The trip had started with Ripley’s’ Aquarium at 11:00 AM in the morning where students and staff spent their time until 1:00 PM. All students had enjoyed a lot and experienced their first time in Canada’s Ripley’s Aquarium.

Later the same day at 2:00 PM students went to visit CN tower, which was another new experience for all students to reach the clouds in Toronto. Students had an outstanding experience as they never visited any high standing tower structure before. They had also newly experienced walking on the glass and looked down from 1400 ft up.

The trip was finished at 4:00 PM and all students of St. Clair College @ Acumen have reached home safely. As like before St. Clair College will continue future activity again with some other exciting trip

Principal’s Lunch

Student feedback is one of the most important foundations in the operations of any schools day to day functions. Each semester we here at St. Clair College @ Ace Acumen Toronto hold a principals lunch meeting where class representatives from each group of students in each program get the opportunity to sit and voice their concerns and appreciations to our principals, directors and managers. This year we had 16 class representatives represent the entire student body at our school. Students voiced appreciations about the excellence of staff and learning that occurs daily, explaining that they feel like each day they learn something new. They also explained to Principal John Wu, directors Max Fan and Mathew Qaqish some of their concerns inside and outside of the classrooms. Rest assured, the appreciations and concerns were heard loud and clear and the team at Ace Acumen will do everything they can to ensure these needs are met.

Students and staff then enjoyed a nice lunch with each other. Director Mathew Qaqish then announced to the class representatives that the student holiday party will be taking place on December 7 th , 2018. Also at this holiday party, 20 students from across the student body will be awarded scholarships for their outstanding abilities as students; scholarships for academic excellence, excellence in leadership and also 2 prestigious Principal Awards awarded to two students who excel both in academics and in leading.

Our students truly are bright and shining stars that are ready to shine bright in Canada for the foreseeable future! We can’t wait for the next principal’s lunch.

St. Clair College 51st Annual Convocation

Here we go again, another year and another group of amazing students have completed their studies at Ace Acumen and made their way to Windsor on October 10^th, 2018, to celebrate their convocation and receive their diplomas in the Beautiful St. Clair College Centre for the Arts Chrysler Theater. Every year students and staff go for the road trip to Windsor on a bus together and return together with diplomas and pride in hand. While at the ceremony this year we remembered all the hard work that students and their families put in to get to this very joyful point in their lives. The applause and cheers and yes some tears were a beautiful sight to see, while also being a symbol of hard work and happiness; that now enables these wonderful students to move onto another chapter of their lives and conquer a new challenge, where they will continue to learn and grow and become stronger and better people. As educators, responsible citizens and life long learners; whether you are a student, a parent, a teacher or staff, these are the moments we truly live for in the realm of education. We all cannot wait to go to convocation again next year and relive all these wonderful feelings again.

Deerhurst Annual Staff Retreat 2018

After various scenic and staff full and friendly carpool drives up to Muskoka’s Deerhurst Resort for the Ace Acumen Annual Staff Retreat, everyone arrived safe and sound to the conference room, where Gene Lai, our amazing HR representative awaited us with his amazing presentation on teamwork.

Thankfully, Ace Acumen requested the resort provide coffee and snacks because a coffee is just what everyone needed after the little 2 hour road trip.

Gene began the professional development session reminding us of Ace Acumen’s core values. He then went on to explain to us the Accident Investigation Policy. Finally, he began the bread and butter of the session, his presentation on teamwork, which allowed us all to interact with each other as a team, which was very fitting.

This put us in the exact spirit we were going to need to build boats as a team out of cardboard and tape. We then got to test them out on the lake, which our brave team captains graciously volunteered to do.

We all proceeded after our lake voyages to our well-deserved staff dinner. Overall, as usual, another successful staff retreat.
