How to Ensure Student Success

We get it! Students don’t like email, so no matter how many times the information is sent their way it doesn’t always make it to them. We kindly request that you help prepare your students for the day by sharing the following with them prior to attending our event. A great way to communicate this message is to read it directly before entering the doors to the Peter Clark Hall.

What exactly are we doing today?

Flashpoint’s Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE) exercise is the process of finding real-world solutions to authentic challenges. During your session today you will tackle the ICE process and work collaboratively in teams to solve a problem provided by our partners at The Toronto Argonauts. Once your team has identified your solution, you will be asked to present it for evaluation. Throughout the day you will have an opportunity to work on a multitude of skills such as communication, organization, leadership, public speaking, time management and critical thinking.

Student Code of Conduct

Cell Phone Use

  • In accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Education, students must keep their cell phones silenced and out of sight during class time.  Students that do not extend this courtesy to their fellow students and presenters will be asked to leave the room.

Late Arrival / Early Departure

  • Students may arrive late or leave early but are expected to enter or leave the room quietly to avoid disruption to other participants.   *We strongly recommend planning for early arrival to allow for traffic concerns.
  • In these circumstances, students may miss some elements of the day.

Behaviour

  • Students are expected to act a safe, positive and respectful manner.
  • Students participating in incidents such as slurs, jokes, threats, use of derogatory language or intimidation that promote racial/ethnic bias or homophobic/sexual harassment will be asked to leave.
