ReadyforHighSchool.ca

Documentation, Elementary to high school transition, Tool

Authors: Initially developed by the Table 5-12 ans de Rosemont and Accès-cible jeunesse Rosemont, management of ReadyForHighSchool.ca was transferred to Réseau réussite Montréal, who translated it and updated it in partnership with the five Island of Montréal school service centres and school boards.

Publisher: Réseau réussite Montréal

Year: updated in 2024

Format: Edutainment platform (online games)

Description

The ReadyforHighSchool.ca/GoSecondaire.ca interactive platform employs both games and practical elements that help students in elementary cycle 3 and secondary 1 explore and demystify life in high school – things like opening your combination lock, organizing your locker, learning about various resources at the school, getting to school, and your agenda.

Though the website was designed to appeal to young people, it is also an excellent way for adults (school, community, and youth counsellors, and parents) to engage with young people about the issue of transitioning from elementary to high school.
