Year Round Services at TDSB Secondary Assessment Centre (TSAC) and TCDSB Orientation Centre (OC):
The Assessment/Orientation Centre has multilingual staff that can assist newcomer students and their families. Newcomer families will also have a chance to meet at the Assessment/Orientation Centre with a Settlement Worker, who can give them information on settlement topics such as finding housing, looking for employment, accessing health care in Ontario, and connecting with a variety of support agencies. All secondary students must make an appointment with the Assessment/Orientation Centre by telephone.
SEPT Services During Summer:
Newcomer Orientation Week (NOW)
The Newcomer Orientation Week program provides orientation to newly- arrived high school students. Over three and-a-half days in the last week of the summer, the students are oriented to their school by Peer Leaders-students who were newcomers in recent years.
Welcome and Information for Newcomers (WIN)
The Welcome and Information for Newcomers program was developed to help newcomer teens entering middle school (grades 6-8). WIN uses some of the same programming elements as NOW but is one day instead of four. Whereas NOW is a full orientation to high school, WIN is a basic introduction intended to build a positive foundation for parents and students to interact with the school and settlement worker. Peer leaders are also central to WIN, helping demonstrate elements in the program and to build friendships with the newcomer students.
