This year, Crescent’s Centre for Boys’ Education (CCBE) took on a new challenge: introducing student teachers to an independent school environment. We’ve developed relationships with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) and the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University and plan to create a partnership with one more faculty of education.

Stress is one of the most common issues we see and hear from students in our Mentor Groups. The source of their stress may be marks, tests, evaluations, university applications, or a myriad of other things. We often take time to unwind with our groups, share a snack and a drink, and discuss ongoing events in our community.
