Originally known as “The Grove Preparatory School for Boys”—and still affectionately referred to by many as simply, “The Grove”—Lakefield College School was established in 1879 by Sparham Sheldrake on a beautiful 25-acre property on the shores of Lake Katchewanooka. One hundred years later, in 1979, LCS became the first Canadian school to become a member of Round Square (roundsquare.org). Under then Headmaster, David Hadden, Lakefield College School welcomed female students and became a co-educational institution in 1989. In 2007, LCS graciously accepted the gift of Northcote Campus, adding 160 acres to the school’s already expansive 155-acre waterfront property. Although there were only 15 boys in attendance when it first opened almost 140 years ago, today Lakefield College School has an enrollment of about 365 students, approximately three-quarters of whom are boarders and one-quarter are day students from the Lakefield / Peterborough area. We are particularly proud of the diversity represented in our student body, as we typically have students hailing from 40 different countries.

Where We Are

The village of Lakefield is home to approximately 3,000 people and is located in the Township of Selwyn in the central-eastern part of the Canadian province of Ontario. The village is situated near the edge of the vast geological feature known as the Canadian Shield in the Kawartha Lakes tourist region, which lies in the heart of Ontario’s picturesque cottage country. The nearby city of Peterborough, a 20-minute drive from Lakefield, is home to more than 65,000 residents and boasts a vibrant commercial, cultural, and arts scene. The main campus of LCS is situated on the outskirts of Lakefield, about a 15 to 20-minute walk, along the sidewalk-lined County Road 29, from the village’s “downtown core.”

#LakefieldCollege | page 3 A Welcome from our Head of School

Welcome! Whether you are visiting us for a few weeks or a few months, it is my hope that you will have a wonderfully memorable exchange experience at Lakefield College School. Arriving in a new school and country, with an unfamiliar culture and a sea of new faces, can be a daunting challenge, to say the least. Thankfully, I think you will find us to be a small, friendly school with a family-like atmosphere, so I’m confident that you will soon start to feel right at home at LCS. My best advice is to try new things, don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, but also, to have fun! Taking part in a student exchange is all about embracing the opportunities posed by the school community, your adopted country, and host family—all while making new friends and experiencing the amazing personal growth that is possible with an international adventure of this sort. By doing so, it will ensure that you leave Lakefield at the end of your exchange visit, content in the knowledge that you have seized every opportunity and taken full advantage of all that our school has to offer. Along with our students and staff, I am very much looking forward to welcoming you in person to Lakefield College School, and to helping you discover what we affectionately call the “Lakefield difference” for yourself!

#LakefieldCollege | page 4 A Message from our Round Square Representative/ Exchange Coordinator

Whether you will be joining us for the warm days and cool nights of the fall term (October to December), in the midst of the cold, snowy winter (from January to March), or the gradually warming, sunny days of spring (April to June), I know that I speak for the entire LCS community in saying that we are very much looking forward to welcoming you. If you will be attending Lakefield College School as a day student, then you will reside locally with the family of your exchange partner, and will typically either walk, be driven by one of your host parents, or take the LCS bus to and from school each day. If yours is a reciprocal boarding (“bed swap”) exchange, you will be living on-campus in one of our 12 boarding houses. Each student residence has two full-time staff members, a Head of House and an Associate Faculty member, both of whom live in apartments attached to the residence. At LCS, we value the sense of family and community afforded by life on campus, so each residence is home to anywhere from 12 to 26 students, with most rooms being occupied by only two students. In addition to my role in working with your own school’s Round Square Rep or Exchange Coordinator to organize your visit, I will also be serving as your Academic Advisor during your time at LCS. Prior to your arrival, please read through this orientation booklet carefully to help familiarize yourself with life at Lakefield—you may also wish to visit our website (lcs.on.ca). Should you or your parents have any questions or concerns about any aspect of your exchange visit to Lakefield College School, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email ([email protected]), telephone (705.652.3324 ext. 365), or—preferably only in the event of an emergency—via my cell (705.760.3135). I look forward to meeting and getting to know you, and to working together to ensure that your time at Lakefield is both rewarding and memorable.

#LakefieldCollege | page 5 Travelling to LCS

A few weeks prior to your departure, Mr. Bird will send you an LCS Letter of Invitation to carry with you en route to Canada, to show immigration officials if they request additional documentation regarding the purpose of your visit. In such cases, it is recommended that you characterize the experience as a “cultural” exchange and try to avoid describing it as a “school or study” exchange. Otherwise, the official may mistakenly jump to the conclusion that you require a Student Visa. This is not the case, as depending on your country of origin, only a Tourist Visa, or even just an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is normally required for entry to Canada (canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html). This is because no tuition fees are being billed to your family by Lakefield College School, nor will you be receiving any form of academic accreditation from the school while you are here. In most cases, we ask that parents of incoming exchange students not book their child’s airline ticket to Canada so as to have them travel as an Unaccompanied Minor. This tends to complicate things on arrival, because most airlines require Unaccompanied Minors to be turned over to a designated adult after clearing Customs at Toronto’s Pearson Airport. This is not usually a problem if the visiting student will be met at the airport by their LCS exchange partner’s parents—and they have pre-arranged in advance exactly who will be there to welcome them—but this isn’t always the case. For example, if the incoming exchange student’s visit is non-reciprocated, or if the LCS host student’s family does not live within reasonable proximity of Toronto / Lakefield (as is the case with our international families or those from other parts of Canada) then Mr. Bird will arrange ground transportation for the incoming exchange student with Century Transportation Ltd (centurytransportation.ca/toronto-airport-shuttle/). A round trip between Lakefield and Pearson Airport takes about 4 hours, and so we are unfortunately not in a position to provide staff to pick visiting students up at the airport and drive them to LCS. Century Transportation is a reliable local company that we have long used with our own students and accessing their vans at the airport is very easy. Because Century drivers are assigned their trips by the company at the beginning of each shift, it is not possible to provide the name of the person who will be meeting the student at the airport in advance, as is usually required by the airline if a student is travelling as an Unaccompanied Minor. Please let Mr. Bird know if you will require a Century van for transport from the airport to LCS, and/or back to the airport at the conclusion of your exchange. If you require van transportation, and you are here for a reciprocated visit, the cost of the Century van (typically about $150 CAD each way) will be covered by your LCS exchange partner’s family. For non-reciprocated exchange visitors, this fee will be billed to your own LCS account and withdrawn from your exchange deposit. Either way, you will not need to pay the driver, unless you want to give her/him a $5 - $10 CAD tip for good service.

#LakefieldCollege | page 6 The terminal to which you will be flying into at Toronto Pearson Airport will be noted on your airline ticket. If you will be travelling to LCS by Century van (i.e. if you will not be met at the airport and driven to the school by your exchange partner’s family) please note the following instructions for accessing your van at Pearson: Terminal 1: After exiting the Arrivals Gate, where people are waiting to greet arriving passengers, turn right and proceed on the same level for about 50 to 100 metres to the escalator, which is along the left-hand side of the terminal. Take the escalator down one floor to the Ground Level. The Out of Town Vans service desk is located right at the foot of the escalator as shown in the following photo. Please give your name to the person at the desk and tell them you are expecting a Century van to take you to Lakefield College School. S/he will summon your driver from a nearby waiting area.

Terminal 3: After exiting the Arrivals Gate, where people are waiting to greet arriving passengers, turn left and proceed (on the same level) to the Out of Town Vans Service counter, which is located along the right side of the hallway between Exits C and D, as marked by the overhead signs, and shown in the following photo. Please give your name to the person at the desk and tell them you are expecting a Century van to take you to Lakefield College School. S/he will summon your driver from a nearby waiting area.

Out of Town Vans service counter at Pearson Terminal 3

#Lakefi eldCollege | page 7 Depending on traffic and weather conditions, the trip from the airport to Lakefield College School typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you will be boarding at LCS, then the Century driver will deliver you right to your residence, where your Head of House and/or Associate Faculty member will be on hand to welcome you, show you to your room, introduce you to your new housemates, and help you get settled in. The following day, a representative of the Global Learning team will introduce you to the LCS community in morning Chapel. Immediately afterwards, s/he will give you a brief tour of the school and guide you through the Exchange Orientation Checklist (see Appendix 1). At this time, a member of our Guidance & Learning staff will help with your course selections, and there will be an opportunity for you to borrow textbooks and LCS classroom dress items from the School Store—unless you prefer to wear your own school’s uniform during the academic day.

What to Bring

LCS students wear a fairly casual uniform during the academic day, or what is known as classroom dress. As you can see from the photo below, there are many variations possible with this uniform for both boys and girls, and our staff at the School Store can help you to find all the items you need. As a visiting exchange student, you will have the opportunity to borrow gently used uniform items of classroom dress from School Stores for the duration of your stay, or you may choose to wear the uniform of your own school. The same policy applies to school textbooks, and provided the items are returned in good condition at the end of your visit, there will be no charge for this service.

Examples of LCS Formal (“Number One”) and Classroom Dress

#LakefieldCollege | page 8 LCS students are required to wear their formal, “Number One Dress” uniform every Monday and to certain functions, such as the Athletic Awards Ceremony that is held at the end of each term. However, as an exchange student, the number of times you are likely to require some form of formal dress (e.g. jacket and tie) during your stay, will probably be minimal, so you may wish to leave your bulky formal school uniform at home. If so, please bring at least one pair of dress pants / skirt, along with a nice collared shirt / blouse, and dress shoes for special occasions. Outside of the academic day, we follow a “clean casuals” dress code. At these times you may dress according to your preference, provided your attire is appropriate for a school setting. A free, weekly laundry service is available to all students residing on campus. There are also washing machines and dryers available for use in the residences. Bedding will be provided for you in the boarding houses, but please bring your own towel. In addition to clothing and personal items, you will need to bring your own toiletries, which may be replenished as needed, by visiting the School Store or during trips to Lakefield or Peterborough on your free-time. If you will be visiting us in September and October, it’s likely that the days will be warm and the nights cool. If you arrive between November and March, you will be met with cold days and even colder nights, and likely a lot of snow, so you should plan on bringing warm winter clothing. At LCS, we embrace the winter weather and spend a lot of time outdoors—especially if you plan on enrolling in one of our Outdoor Education courses. If you are arriving in April or May, you are likely to be met with increasingly warm—although sometimes wet, and in the very early spring, even snowy—days. By late spring (May and June) temperatures are likely to be in the mid-20ºCs, and even on occasion, in the low 30ºCs, so casual summer wear (e.g. shorts, t-shirts, as well as a bathing suit for swimming in Lake Katchewanooka, is recommended. The following web link provides more information about the weather and climate of the Lakefield/Peterborough area: timeanddate.com/weather/canada/peterborough/climate

Outdoor Life

As a member of Round Square, Lakefield College School is proud of its unique, waterfront setting and the outdoor adventure experiences it makes possible for students. Visiting exchange students will be afforded the opportunity of participating in Outdoor Education (OE) classes, if you select this course option, or in various outdoor excursions on a sign-up basis. For example, OE classes participate in an overnight canoe trip in September, a winter camping weekend in January and an optional three-day dog-sledding trip in late February. There are also a variety of outdoor activities offered on campus for OE students and others, including flat-water and white-water canoeing, the three-storey indoor climbing wall or outdoor climbing tower and high ropes course, as well as winter activities like Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and building snow cave shelters (called quinzees) for winter camping. Exchange students should be prepared for the variable and sometimes extreme Canadian weather, depending on the season. If you need more specific information about clothing requirements, please contact Mr. Bird and he will refer you to a member of our Outdoor Education department.

#LakefieldCollege | page 9 Staying Connected

Internet Access A few weeks/months prior to your arrival in Lakefield, you will receive an LCS Forms Package for you and your family to complete and return. Two of the forms you will be asked to complete in advance of your visit are the “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) and “Responsible Use” network agreements. During your initial orientation tour, you will be issued an access password and shown how to connect up to two devices to the school’s BYOD network. Typically, these might be a laptop or tablet and a phone, although many visiting students get by with just a smart phone. If needed, there are also a couple of desktop computers in the Learning Commons that visiting students can use. These are almost always available, as the rest of the LCS student body use MacBook Air laptop computers.

Email All students are issued a Lakefield College School email account and address upon arrival. Usually this will consist of your first initial and last name, followed by @lcs.on.ca (e.g. gbird@lcs. on.ca). Most students find that they are able to keep in touch with friends and family back home via the various forms of social media that are available, although this can sometimes be complicated by differing time zones. Nightly wifi access in the residences is discontinued after lights out, at times that are staggered by grade, so that students are encouraged to get a good night’s sleep.

Regular Mail If you are planning to receive any mail during your stay, please note that letters should be addressed to you, at the school’s address, as follows: Student’s Name Lakefield College School 4391 County Road 29, Lakefield ON, Canada K0L 2H0 You will be notified by email in the event that a letter or package arrives for you and it can be picked up from Reception during the academic day; i.e. Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. Stamps are available for purchase from the School Store and outgoing mail can be sent either from there or from the Business Office.

Telephone Each student residence is equipped with a pay phone that receives calls and accepts credit cards for outgoing calls. Long distance calls must be charged to a credit or calling card or be dialed collect. Long distance calling cards are available for purchase at the School Store. Student residence phone numbers, along with a wealth of other useful information about student life at LCS, are provided in our Quick Reference Guide (lcs.on.ca/QuickReferenceGuide).

#LakefieldCollege | page 10 Money Matters

As a visiting exchange student, you will not be charged tuition or boarding fees, although your LCS account will be billed for any additional activities you may choose to take part in, such as optional school trips, admission to certain spirit events like school dances, and School Store purchases. School supplies, toiletries, souvenirs and LCS casual wear are available for purchase from the store, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST. Increasingly, international debit cards are becoming the easiest way to access personal funds while travelling abroad. These can be used at the School Store for cash withdrawals and to purchase items. In addition, the parents of visiting exchange students are required to submit a $500 CAD deposit, prior to arrival. In the event that a visiting student is unable to access funds via a bank debit card, then cash withdrawals, School Store purchases, and other expenditures may be billed to their parents’ credit card—providing the card information and parental permission are provided on the Exchange Deposit Form that is completed prior to a student’s arrival at LCS. If you or your parents have any questions about financial matters, please contact Ms. Erin Yeatman, General Ledger and Student Billing Officer in the school’s Business Office. Erin may be reached by email ([email protected]) or by phone (705.652.3324 ext. 323) from Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST. In addition, the village of Lakefield is home to two national banks where you can access an ATM or even open a bank account if you wish. They are: Royal Bank of Canada (RBC)—705.652.6713, rbcroyalbank.com Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC)—705-652-3311, cibc.ca Boarders are advised to keep cash, travel documents and other valuables in a safe place while at LCS. It is strongly recommended that you give these items to your Head of House upon arrival, so that s/he can put them in the house lockbox for safekeeping. For day students, it is best to leave valuables with your host family.

Exchange Student Accounts At the end of every month a student account statement will be emailed to parents. Your statement will reflect any charges, credits or payments that have been recorded over the past thirty days. You may note that some charges are a month behind. For example, travel or bus charges that took place in one month are typically not billed to LCS by the local bus company until the following month. As is standard practice with all Round Square schools, prior to your arrival at LCS, you and your parents will be required to submit a $500 CAD pre-payment, which will be deposited into your school account. A reminder that this deposit will be used for any incidental charges such as School Store purchases, weekend travel, or other student activities. Once a visiting exchange student has left Lakefield College School at the conclusion of their visit, and all charges and credits have been applied to their account, the LCS Business Office will return any remaining

#LakefieldCollege | page 11 deposit funds—or bill any additional charges, if there is a shortfall in the account—to the exchange student’s parents. Please be advised that it can sometimes take 6 to 10 weeks for a refund to be issued, due to billing delays on the part of the school’s service providers. Please also note that if an exchange student chooses to participate in one of the school’s optional, multi-day excursions—such as the Toronto/Niagara Falls, New York City, or Washington D.C. trips, which take place during scheduled school breaks, or the annual Dog Sledding Expedition in February—the projected cost will be communicated to parents beforehand. Payment will be required in advance for these extended trips, each of which normally costs in range of $500 – $900 CAD, on top of the already-submitted $500 exchange deposit. For more information about payment options and banking information, please visit: olc. lcs.on.ca/Statements.nsf/help.xsp. If asked for an account number or ID Code, please enter: 53220600. When submitting the exchange deposit or a trip fee by wire transfer, please be sure to notify Erin Yeatman ([email protected]) of the visiting student’s name, as well as the following information: 1. Name on your bank account 2. Address on file with the bank 3. Name of the bank 4. Address of the Bank 5. Account # 6. Transit # 7. Bank (institution) # 8. Swift code Once the deposit has been sent for the student’s LCS account, please email Erin (eyeatman@lcs. on.ca) a copy of the payment details for tracking.

Insurance and Medical Information

Lakefield College School has a Health Centre centrally located on campus, with nurses available 24-hours a day with 10 beds available for students. Students are welcome to drop by the Health Centre whenever the need arises. Should you find yourself in need of a doctor, the nurses can make an appointment for you. Local area doctors visit the school three times each week during the lunch hour. In the event of a medical emergency, students will be taken to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre (hospital). Boarding students who bring medication with them to LCS are asked to keep the medication in the Health Centre, as they are not allowed to keep prescription medication in the residences. Please note that visiting exchange students must obtain their own private travel insurance, which includes out-of-country medical coverage, before arriving in Canada. Coverage of this type should be purchased from an insurance provider in the student’s home country prior to

#LakefieldCollege | page 12 departure. Your parents should have completed and returned your LCS Medical Form prior to your arrival. No student will be permitted to attend Lakefield College School unless her/his completed medical form is on file at the LCS Health Centre.

Term Schedule

Please see Appendix 2 for the LCS Term / Holiday Schedule. Please note that if the schedule posted is for the current school year (2019/20), and your visit is planned for the following year, Mr. Bird will be able to send you a copy of next year’s Term / Holiday Schedule, upon request.

Academics

The expectation is that visiting exchange students will devote themselves, first and foremost, to keeping up with the daily assignments and tests in their LCS classes. A possible exception is math class, during which you may opt to work on assignments from home, with help from your LCS math teacher as needed. In order to prepare students well for the intellectual challenges of university and a rapidly changing world, Lakefield College School’s faculty engage students in academic activities which will enable them to develop disciplined habits of study, critical thinking skills, and a talent for co-operative problem solving. In addition, students are given significant opportunities to use modern technology as a tool to assist them in their learning. In order to ensure intellectual breadth, students at Lakefield are required to study a core curriculum, which reflects the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education. The required and optional courses available are outlined below, although LCS grants visiting exchange students one spare period (i.e. the normal course load is reduced by one class) in recognition of the fact that they may have some work to complete from their home school. Additional information is available from the LCS Course Selection and Academic Policy Guide: lcs.on.ca/CourseSelectionAcademicPolicyGuide.

#LakefieldCollege | page 16 Co-Curricular Program: Arts and Athletics

Lakefield College School offers an extensive variety of co-curricular options and students are required to participate in at least one athletic or arts activity each term. Whether you engage in a purely recreational activity like yoga or rock climbing, play for one of our competitive sports teams, or opt for one of the creative arts programs, you are sure to enjoy and grow from your time outside of the classroom at LCS. Depending on the program, students typically meet four or five times a week to engage in their sport or arts activity, with competitive teams usually playing at least one game each week. LCS has many facilities for you to enjoy during your time at the school. In addition to over 600 metres of shoreline on Lake Katchewanooka and three playing fields, the school also has an indoor gymnasium, refrigerated outdoor ice rink (which typically operates from late November until March), dance studio, indoor climbing wall, high and low ropes courses, fitness centre, a well-equipped music room and music practice rooms, as well as a modern 250-seat theatre. See Appendix 3 for a complete list of co-curricular activities available to students, by term.

Special Arrangements for Non-Reciprocal Exchange Students

If your visit to Lakefield is non-reciprocated (i.e. you are not partnered for exchange with an LCS student) then there are a few procedural differences that you should be aware of. As noted previously, when you arrive at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, you will need to take a Century Transportation Services van to LCS, as pre-arranged by Mr. Bird, in consultation with your parents. Participants in reciprocal exchanges will normally be met at the airport and driven to the school by their LCS exchange partner’s family. During scheduled holidays and mid-term breaks, when the school is closed, arrangements will be made for students who are involved in non-reciprocal exchanges to participate in a supervised, school-sponsored trip. In some cases, it may be possible for them to stay with a local LCS family instead. At various times throughout the year, 4-day school break trips are offered to Washington, DC (in October), Niagara Falls and Toronto (in February), and New York City (in May).
