APPLEBY COLLEGE
ORIENTATION 2016-17
June 15, 2016
Welcome to Appleby College!
On behalf of the Orientation faculty and our student leaders, we are very much looking forward to meeting
each of you in-person this Fall. All of the information to help prepare for your arrival on Tuesday, September 6,
is contained in this e-newsletter. As well, our Residential Life Handbook can be viewed at www.appleby.on.ca/reslife
for all of the important dates and information pertaining to Residential Life. I do, however, want to highlight a
few important details for the Orientation Week (September 6-11).
Orientation Week is an extremely busy program which is designed to be FUN! In addition to giving each student
a warm welcome to Appleby College, you will also be helped with completing many logistical tasks, such as
obtaining a laptop, selecting courses, ordering textbooks and a uniform, as well as meeting your advisor and
house director. Throughout the Orientation Program, students will stay in boarding rooms on the Appleby
campus. This is a great opportunity for our new students to meet each other and to bond as a group prior to the
start of school. A fabulous component of the Orientation Program for students entering Upper Two - Senior Two
(grades 10-12) is a weekend camping trip to Pine Crest, located in Ontario’s beautiful Muskoka region, from
September 16 to 18. Upper One (grade 9) students will be visiting Appleby’s McLaughlin Northern Campus
in Temagami, Ontario during one of three trips taking place from September 15 to 20, September 20 to 25
or September 25 to 30. Upper One students will be informed of the timing of their trips at the beginning of
the school year. Students are encouraged to review the camping trip packing list included in this package to
ensure they have the proper gear. If a student does not have certain clothes, there will be an opportunity during
Orientation Week to purchase necessary items.
The Orientation faculty and I have been working on this program for the past year and are excited to make
this year a very memorable one for you! We look forward to meeting you on Tuesday, September 6 between
9:30 – 10:30 a.m. in the Schlesinger Dining Hall. At this time, you will be given your boarding room, have a
chance to meet with our Health Centre team, a local representative from the International Student Guardianship
Canada (ISGC) program, and Appleby College admissions representatives. You will also have the chance to sign
up for a CIBC bank account, purchase Appleby College clothing through InSchoolwear (please e-mail me if you
require an appointment), and purchase a cell phone and plan if needed. In the meantime, please let me know if
you have any additional questions.
Available online as of July 1, students are asked to complete the Pre-Boarding survey which can be found by
clicking here. New long distance parents will also be receiving a brief survey in July to help plan some of the
activities scheduled for this year’s Orientation Week excursions. Your participation in completing this survey
is appreciated.
Best regards,
Mike Moores

WELCOME FROM APPLEBY PARENT RELATIONS
June 15, 2016
A warm welcome to new Parents!
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ellen Palmer and I am the Director of Parent Relations. In my role I oversee
a number of programs which help to inform and support Appleby’s parent community. Over the summer I will be working
with the New Parent Committee to provide each new parent with a veteran parent “buddy” who can help ease the transition
into our busy culture. Please expect to hear from your parent “buddy” sometime before mid-August, at which time he or she
will provide you with contact information as well as some reminders about the Orientation and welcome events taking
place at the beginning of the school year. In the meantime, here are a few dates for you to put in your calendar:
Tuesday, September 6: Orientation for New Parents of Long Distance Boarders (9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
This event allows for parents of long distance boarders new to Appleby to learn more about the residential life experience,
our guidance program, and our online resources after moving their children into residence and leaving them to engage in
their own orientation program. Included in the day will be a visit to the school’s College Shop to purchase gym wear, and
following this orientation parents of long distance boarders are invited to attend a dinner at the Principal’s Residence from
5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, September 6: Orientation Evening for All New Parents (7:00 to 9:00 p.m.)
This popular event provides all parents of students new to the school with an opportunity to hear more about Appleby
from the School Directors and to meet their child’s advisor. The evening will begin in the Schlesinger Dining Hall at 7:00 p.m.
with a meet and greet with your parent “buddy”, and end with an opportunity to ask questions of members of our Senior
Leadership Team.
Wednesday, September 7: Optional Parent Excursion to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake
Meet on campus in the morning to join your fellow parents on a coach to Niagara Falls where we will get to enjoy a boat
ride and experience the mist firsthand. After an exciting morning at the falls, the coach will head to picturesque Niagaraon-the-Lake where we will enjoy lunch at Zee’s Grill (www.niagarasfinest.com/restaurants/zees) and then have some free
time shopping and exploring downtown and main street. The coach will return to Appleby’s campus for 6:00 p.m. We will
contact you in July to confirm whether you would like to attend.
Thursday, September 8: Optional Parent Excursion
Meet on campus to join your fellow parents for a home-cooked Canadian Breakfast in the Schlesinger Dining Hall followed
by a shopping trip to Toronto Premium Outlets (http://www.premiumoutlets.com). On the way, the coach will do a small
tour of Oakville so that you can see firsthand some of the sights and similar bus routes that your student will be enjoying
during his or her time on campus. The Outlets will give you access to some of the best brands including Burberry, Coach,
Cole Hann, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Tory Burch and many more. We will contact you in July to confirm whether
you would like to attend. Your child will be participating in a Talent Show this evening as part of the Orientation Week
activities. Should you be interested in attending as a member of the audience, it will be held in Willis Hall at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, September 10: Welcome Back Barbecue (11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)
This is an outdoor barbecue lunch held in the Colley Bistro, just after returning boarding students have moved into residence.
Hosted by the Appleby College Parents’ Association (ACPA), this informal social event provides the opportunity for students,
teachers, parents and guardians to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. New families are very welcome!
I look forward to meeting you and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

APPLEBY COLLEGE
WELCOME FROM THE HOUSE FACULTY
June 15, 2016
Welcome to the Appleby College boarding community!
The mission of the Residential Life program is to promote academic, social, cultural and personal growth within a
safe, inclusive community, with particular emphasis on the Såchool’s six Pillars of Strength. The Residential Life Team
continually works to develop the program, by providing a variety of rich experiences that are in-line with this mission.
Appleby’s boarding program consists of four unique Houses: Baillie, Colley, Powell’s and Walker. Each House
is led by three Faculty, who live with their families, in houses connected to the residences. In addition to the
House Faculty, each House also has a team of student leaders and school prefects that help organize and run the
numerous events throughout the year. The Houses compete annually for the Inter-House Cup, where students are
able to demonstrate tremendous spirit.
Later this summer, you will receive more detailed information about the House to which your child has been
assigned. It will include information about the physical design of the residence, the motto and philosophy of the
House and an introduction of the House Faculty.
We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight two important policies, and to ask you to please make note of the
required dates found below.
1. Online sign-out and sign-in system for boarders: All boarders will be asked to sign-out and sign-in using an
online system (called REACH). We would ask that parents / guardians check this system regularly (for more
information visit www.support.reachboarding.com.au) and if required, provide approval of plans. We would also
appreciate a response if there are concerns or questions about the plans. Additional details regarding the online
sign-in / sign-out system for boarders will be shared in your child’s House information package which will be
distributed in the summer.
2. Weekly House Meetings: Every Sunday night (Monday nights after school holidays) at 9:30 p.m., boarders are
required back in residence to participate in the mandatory weekly House meeting. These meetings serve to inform
boarders of upcoming events, facilitate the teaching of the residential curriculum, and promote the sharing of
culture with intercultural presentations.
Required 2016-2017 dates:
In addition to the New Boarder Orientation Program that begins on Tuesday, September 6 and runs through to
the first day of academic classes on Monday, September 12, over the course of the year there are three additional
special community weekends for all boarders – one during each of the school’s three reporting periods.
Community Weekends: September 30 - October 1, 2016; January 27-29, 2017; May 12-14, 2017
All boarders are required to remain in boarding on these weekends. There will be activities planned which will
connect to the residential curriculum and build community connections. More details about each of these weekends
will be shared during the upcoming school year.
House Dinners - each House hosts the boarding community at a fun-filled, themed dinner. These dinners are part of
the Inter-House Cup and include spirit and community building activities. Students are asked to return to campus
early on these Sundays in time for dinner.
