Ambassador Program

Objective:

The Ambassador Program was created to assist new students during their adaptation to Chapel by welcoming them in a hospitable, attentice and friendly manner that will facilitate a positive and smooth adjustment to Chapel School.

Profile of an “Ambassador”:

·         Ability to communicate well
·         Good manners
·         Open to new friendships and experiences

The ambassadors must be trained to know how to deal with a variety of situations. During this training, group activities will be promoted to enable a relaxed atmosphere and the bonding of everyone involved. The activities / duties of an “ambassador” will be established over the period of a month but, depending on each case, this time can be extended.

These activities / duties are:

·         Meet with the Guidance Office, keeping the Counselor up-to-date with what is going on and requesting help wherever necessary

The Brazilian Studies Department will organize a field trip to the city of São Paulo for the new students. Throughout the year, the Guidance Office will organize meetings and lunches with the ambassadors and the new students for orientation and special events.
