With a pad of paws, a swish of tail and sniff of her wet nose, the beloved school pooch, Macie, brings joy, comfort and ease wherever she roams throughout the college.

Macie attends the college on a regular basis, spending her visits guided by students across the school.

She heads into studios, labs and other learning spaces to the cries of warm welcome from the students who lovingly lavish her with pats, cuddles and much-appreciated tummy rubs.

Macie’s kind, warm and empathetic nature is the perfect way to bring joy and camaraderie where ever she wanders.

Her presence brings comfort, belonging and emotional safety to students, which are essential components for their learning outcomes and personal development.
