💙 Hear directly from one of our students about their experience with the Bridge Point Program!

Bridge Point is a student-led initiative created by Leadership students within our schools, where local students act as ambassadors to help international students feel welcomed, supported, and connected from day one.

From first-day guidance to ongoing friendship and encouragement throughout the year, these ambassadors truly make a difference in helping students transition smoothly into a new school and culture.

🌍🤝 We are proud to share this testimonial and celebrate the positive impact Bridge Point continues to have on our international student community.

🌍🍲 Bringing the world to one table!
Food just has a way of connecting people beyond borders 🌍❤️

Our first end of the year international potluck was this week, and it was a total success! It was filled with amazing flavours, cultures, and connections. 🫂

From Cacio e Pepe from Italy 🍝, to hand-crafted dumplings 🥟 from China, Heidelbeernocken from Austria 🥞, guacamole and quesadillas from Mexico 🥑, and many other mouth-watering plates!

Thank you to all our international students for sharing a taste of home at our event. Our students from Laval Senior Academy and Rosemere High School came together to share their cultures not only amongst them, but also with their invited local peers as well as with their homestays, and school administration who joined the gathering in the evening.

A special thank you to Laval Senior Academy for their generous contribution and for lending us their kitchen and conference room to make it possible.

It is definitely nice to end the year celebrating diversity through food and friendship.🍴💫❤️

🌟 Part 4 of Andressa Reginato Inspiring Journey 🌟

From student life to achieving her dream career in healthcare, Andressa’s story continues! 👩‍⚕️📚

As a nursing student in Quebec, passing the OIIAQ exam within the required timeframe after graduation is essential to be officially recognized by the Order of Nurses and Nursing Assistants in Quebec. To help students succeed, CDC Pont-Viau Vocational Training Centre offers a specialized crash course designed to prepare future nurses with confidence and strategy 💪✨

For international students, the journey also includes passing the OQLF exam 🗣️🇫🇷 to demonstrate the level of French proficiency needed in the medical field.

In this 4th chapter of her story, Andressa shares her personal experience preparing for both exams, overcoming challenges, and successfully meeting all the requirements to finally begin working at the prestigious 🏥 Jewish General Hospital.

Her determination, discipline, and passion for nursing are truly inspiring ❤️👏

🎓 Dream big. Study hard. Achieve your goals.
📍 Your future in healthcare starts here with CDC Pont Viau!

Part 3 of 4 📖

🩺 There’s no substitute for firsthand experience in the medical field. Every shift teaches something new — not just medical terminology and procedures, but also the unspoken communication, teamwork, and instincts that help healthcare professionals respond quickly and effectively.

Andressa shares with us how confidence allows you to act in critical moments. Humility ensures you continue learning long after training ends. The moment we believe we know everything is the moment we stop growing — and in healthcare, growth is essential.

Small daily improvements matter more than we realize. Learning one new term, refining one technique, or gaining one new insight each day creates exponential growth over an entire career. 📚✨

Stay curious. Stay prepared. Never stop learning. 💙

Part 2 of 4 📖

She was hired shortly after graduating 🎓, and within her first four weeks of training, she faced one of the most difficult experiences a medical professional can encounter—a patient’s death 💔.

Her training at CDC Pont-Viau played a crucial role in preparing her for this moment. It helped her develop the emotional resilience and critical thinking skills needed to navigate such a challenging situation, understand the process of loss, and recognize the essential role an LPN plays during emergencies 🏥.

Experiences like these shape not only professional competence but also compassion and strength 🤝✨.

💙 From Austria to Canada… what a journey! 🇦🇹✈️🇨🇦

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing our international students feel welcomed, supported, and inspired from day one ✨

At Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, it’s not just about studying abroad — it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and discovering new parts of the world and yourself 🌍💫

A big thank you to our amazing partners at STS Austria for trusting us with their students! 🤝
