AusIS Welcomes Representatives from Saint Mary’s University

On the third of September, four representatives from the Canadian University Application Centre visited AusIS. They spoke with the DP 1 and DP 2 students regarding a single university - Saint Mary’s University from Halifax Canada. The four representatives included Ms. Maria and Mr. Rashid; the two head speakers for this visit who spoke to us about all the commodities and aspects Saint Mary’s had to offer.

 


To add on, the Canadian University Application Centre, or CUAC in short, is a well-recognized student recruitment company which was launched in 1997. They provide students with advice and knowledge about the fields of study and certain universities in which they may be interested in. They are located in a multitude of countries all around the world in places such as North America, South America, Africa and Asia. 

 


Moreover, Saint Mary’s University is an international student friendly educational institute with 29% of their student population being from other nations. They offer a range of undergraduate, graduate and professional development programs and conduct research with local, regional and global impact. They have 5 major areas of study, including a faculty for science, arts, business (named the Sobey School of Business), Engineering and a faculty for environmental studies named the School of the Environment. 

 


Visits such as this one are incredibly crucial for all of the students, especially the DP 2 ones as they shall soon embark on their journey into university life. By being well informed about all the suitable university choices that exist and the requirements posed by them, we can be prepared for any obstacle that stands in our way.

Gaining notoriety for being a fan- favorite class amongst students, they have gained a lot of experience and knowledge by using hands-on approaches in cooking and preparing the ingredients. Mr. Asad has been a wonderful guide and taught as many skills as possible including how to use a knife, how to chop vegetables and similar skills. Students were encouraged to participate in cooking by ‘sharpening’ their knife skills, helping prepare the ingredients for assembly, and taking turns in stirring or frying various items on the portable electric stoves provided.  During the first class, the students got to partake in making ‘palak pakoda’, or more commonly known as spinach pakora. Each student had their own share in creating the batter, cutting the spinach stems (as well as dicing leafy, fresh toppings) and frying the crunchy snac...
