build greater awareness of the school and its programs
develop the ASAs’ leadership and other soft skills through their involvement in the planning and on-site management of ACE events
provide a current ACE student perspective to the IDP/ACE Social Committee

The role of each ambassador is to:

work with young people to encourage and motivate them to commence, continue and complete their studies successfully
actively participate in major school events, information sessions, school visits and other activities
meet and help visitors to ACE (parents, prospective students and representatives from other educational institutions)
provide students and parents with information on ACE’s programs, student services and other activities
