Student Life
Leadership Opportunities
Developing leadership at Stanstead College happens in all aspects of student life, from mentoring fellow students in the classroom to rallying one's teammates on the field. It happens in formal ways such as our prefect program and community service, and it happens through opportunities for students to travel and broaden their expectations. Stanstead College grows leaders.
Prefects
Prefects serve as liaisons between students and the faculty and administration and are expected to model appropriate behaviour and represent the school properly at all times. It is a great honour to be selected and an outstanding opportunity to develop responsibility and leadership skills.

Don't Let Fear Lead to Regret
Read MoreErm hey. That’s something one of my buddies used to always say: “Erm hey.” Last year, I said goodbye to him, not knowing when I was going to see him again. I made sure to be the last one to say goodbye. I hugged him tight, let out some tears, and as “Creep” by Radiohead played in the background, I said my final goodbye. But it didn’t feel right. As he was walking to the door, I felt like I needed one more hug, but no. I thought it would be weird. Now why would I think that? I’ve got no idea really. And I wish I could go back and give him one more hug. But I can’t.
Multicultural Awareness
Students at Stanstead College come from, on average, 20 different countries, each with its own set of traditions, customs and history. Our international students have a chance to share their heritage during Multicultural Week, where they take over the school kitchen to prepare traditional meals from their home countries.
Community Service
Plus, once a year, our students and teachers head out en masse to the Town of Stanstead and other areas to clean, pick up and help out during our Community Service Day.
Duke of Edinburgh
As part of the Physical Education curriculum, all Grade 9 students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh bronze award program. The goal of the program is to challenge students outside of the classroom in several areas. Through community involvement, learning new skills, goal setting and pushing personal limits, students are encouraged to explore hidden talents and personal resources.
Service Trips
Service also takes place off campus -- way off campus. For the past decade, students and teachers from Stanstead College have spent their March breaks helping build homes in Central America and Africa in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity.
