January In Review
New Year's Collages
A new year not only brings new possibilities, but also gives us a chance to look back on how far we have come. Through crafting unique and colourful collages, ALCC students took the time to reflect on the personal and academic goals they accomplished in 2025, and to think ahead to what they would like to achieve in the months to come. This year, travelling and getting fit were among some of the most popular aspirations for 2026. Here’s to what the new year has in store!
Friday Conversations
Was brushing up on your English, French, or Spanish conversation skills one of your New Year’s resolutions? Then ALCC has you covered! Stop by on Friday afternoons and practice your conversation skills in a warm and welcoming environment with capable teachers and like-minded people. Learn useful vocabulary and common expressions, and build confidence in talking to others!

Origami
Paper isn’t just for writing on! Our teacher Miranda demonstrated a quick and easy way to use origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, to create some handy bookmarks so our students can quickly reference important pages in their textbooks! Did you know the art of origami is estimated to be almost 2,000 years old? Historians believe it originated shortly after the invention of paper in China!
