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.

Our experiment was to analyze two samples of soils, garden soil and roadside soil. With these two samples we found its pH, moisture, water capacity and texture. It is important to understand these qualities in soil because when they are in a certain condition, it is the best for growing plants. This experiment was very messy, but it was enjoyable. The students were divided into three groups and it was a new experience for everyone. Although we have done experiments before, we did not use some of the apparatus used in this experiment, so it was a new challenge for us. Equipment such as the dropper, glass rod...
