COUNSELLOR’S CORNER
Dear parents,
Due to the success of AFNorth International School (AIS) College and University Fair in the
winter, we are going to host one this Fall 2017.
Save the date: Wednesday, November 8 2017 from 17:00-19:00
We are so pleased with the number of alumni and representatives who have confirmed
their attendance at this year's Fair. There is no other College and University Fair of its kind
in the area. College and University Alumni and Representatives from Canada, Germa-
ny, Netherlands, Spain and the US will be present at this year’s Fair.
I encourage you to attend the Fair with your son or daughter as it is a wonderful opportuni-
ty for students and parents to explore and discuss various programs, locations and post-
secondary options. Should transportation be a concern, the Fair begins at 17:00 which will
allow your son or daughter to take the late bus home. Just remember that bus passes need
to be scanned by 14:00. In the meantime, should you have any questions, please con-
tact [email protected]
Hope to see you there,
Deb Kehoe (US Counsellor) and Maria Lunney (Cdn Counsellor)
PS Attached is a poster on page 8 and the list of College and University Alumni/Reps (page

TERRY FOX RUN
On behalf of the Terry Fox committee, I am thrilled to announce that AFNORTH will be do-nating €3472.23 to the Dutch Cancer Society in the hope of bringing us closer to a cure. Thank you again to everyone who walked, ran, organized, encouraged and donated.
