SELC LMS

Dear Students,

This Monday, we are preparing a special Teachers’ Day celebration to recognize the instructors who support, encourage, and guide our students every day.

And we need YOUR help to make it special! 🤫 Please keep this a surprise from your instructors!

Here are a few ways you can participate:

💌 1. Send a Thank-You Message
Write a short message to your instructor telling them something you appreciate about them, something they have taught you, or simply saying thank you. Your message can be signed or anonymous.

🏆 2. Nominate Your Instructor for a Fun Teacher Award
Tell us what makes your instructor special! Some examples:

• Most Supportive Teacher
• Best Classroom Energy
• Most Patient Teacher
• Best at Making Difficult Things Easy
• Most Motivational Teacher
• Best Sense of Humour
• Teacher Who Makes Students Feel Welcome

You can also suggest your own award!

🎥 3. Send Us a Short Video
Record a quick 5–10 second video on your phone saying something like:

“Happy Teachers’ Day, [Instructor’s Name]!”

“Thank you for everything you do!”

“Thank you for helping us succeed!”

Or create your own message! We will combine the videos into a special Teachers’ Day video.

🎉 4. Help Us Surprise Your Teacher on Monday!
We will be visiting classrooms for a short Teachers’ Day surprise. We would love to have students involved in presenting the messages, awards and appreciation to their instructors.

💛 READY TO PARTICIPATE?

Please complete our short Teachers’ Day form here:

⏰ Please send your message, nomination and/or video by Sunday.

You do not have to participate in everything—even one short message can make your teacher’s day.

Let’s come together as students and show our SELC instructors how much we appreciate the difference they make every day. 💛

And remember… keep it a surprise! 🤫

Happy Teachers’ Day from the SELC College community! 🎓✨

🌟 What Is “Beyond the Classroom”?

Dear Students,

You may have started seeing the name 🌟 Beyond the Classroom in our communications, activities, workshops and around campus.

I wanted to take a moment to explain what it means—and why I created it.

Beyond the Classroom is SELC’s student experience initiative.

The idea behind it is simple: your education is important, but your student experience is bigger than your classroom.

While studying, you are also building a life, developing a career, managing finances, making connections, adapting to a new environment, learning about Canada and preparing for what comes next.

I wanted to bring together the different opportunities and support we offer students under one common purpose.

Through Beyond the Classroom, you will see initiatives related to career development, immigration information, financial literacy, health and wellness, banking and insurance, student benefits, community partnerships, networking, social activities, cultural experiences, trips and opportunities to connect with other students.

You will also see Beyond the Classroom in different ways throughout your SELC journey:

🌟 Information & Opportunities
I will regularly share opportunities with you through LMS and Class365—not only telling you what is happening, but also why it may be valuable to you.

🌟 Connection & Belonging
Activities, workshops, orientations, partnerships and social opportunities are designed to help you connect with people, resources and experiences beyond your academic program.

🌟 A More Personal Connection
Susana from Student Services and I will also be visiting classrooms regularly. These are not academic or instructor evaluations. They are simply an opportunity for us to stay connected with you, share useful information, listen to you and make sure you know where to go when you need support.

My goal is for Beyond the Classroom to become something you recognize throughout your time at SELC—not as one event or one program, but as part of the SELC student experience.

And whether you are just starting today, halfway through your program, or only a few weeks away from graduating, Beyond the Classroom is for you.

At the heart of it is one message:

We see you. We care about your experience. And we want you to succeed as a whole person.

I hope you will take advantage of what we are building—and, just as importantly, tell us what you would like to see next. This initiative should continue to grow with our students.

Warmly,
Cynthia Horton
Campus Director
SELC College & SELC Language College
