Welcoming Our New Students: September Orientation
A new school year means new faces, and this September we were thrilled to welcome a fantastic group of new students to the UIS community!
Orientation gave our newest students the chance to get familiar with campus, meet their teachers, and connect with fellow classmates before diving into the semester. From touring the building to learning about school policies and procedures, to hearing about the clubs and events UIS has to offer, orientation set the tone for what’s sure to be a great year ahead. Welcome to UIS — we’re so glad you’re here!

University/College Fair
One of the most anticipated events of the year is officially in the books!
On September 24th, UIS hosted its annual University/College Fair, welcoming top universities from across Canada to campus for seminars and info sessions with our students. It was a fantastic opportunity for our grade 12 students to connect directly with admissions representatives and gather valuable information as they finalize their university choices. But the fair wasn’t just for our graduating class — younger students were encouraged to attend as well, gaining an early look at the wide range of university options and pathways available to them down the road. Thank you to everyone who came out to explore, ask questions, and start planning for what’s next!

Police Safety Seminar
Keeping our students safe and informed is always a priority at UIS.
We were pleased to welcome PC Gabriel Lee to speak at our bi-annual Police Safety Seminar. Gathered in the gym/cafeteria, students took part in an engaging presentation covering important information and resources for living and studying in Toronto — including pedestrian and road safety, bullying and cyberbullying and how to report concerns, how to identify police officers and other first responders, and Toronto’s emergency phone lines and when to use them. Following the presentation, students had the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A session, giving them the chance to learn even more about the city they now call home.

Club Sign-Up Day
Our club leaders and teachers came together to help students find their people this year!
The gym was filled with creative signs and enthusiasm as club leaders showcased the full range of clubs and extracurriculars available at UIS. The day gave both new and returning students the chance to explore their options in one place, ask questions, meet their club leaders, and sign up for whatever interests them most. At UIS, we know how important it is for students to build friendships and meaningful connections with one another — all while strengthening their college and university applications along the way.
Curious about what’s on offer? Athletically-inclined students can join our Badminton, Volleyball, or Pickleball Clubs, while those looking to sharpen their speaking skills can check out our IELTS Speaking Club or Debate Club. For the creatively minded, we offer our Bakers Club, Broadcasting Club, and Japanese Club, plus our Math Contest Club for students who enjoy a good challenge. Students can also join our Volunteering Club, which helps them log and understand their required volunteer hours.
