Helping students prepare for high school with the Summer Indigenous Transition Program – SooToday.com
The program is available to Grade 6-8 students in Blind River, Elliot Lake, Wawa, and Sault Ste. Marie
As a mother beamed with pride, she shared how her child, once shy and hesitant, had grown braver after participating in the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board’s Summer Indigenous Transition Program. This is just one of many success stories from a program that empowers Indigenous students for high school by connecting them to their culture.
Now in its third year in Sault Ste. Marie, the program expanded for the first time to three additional communities: Blind River, Elliot Lake, Wawa. Students from these areas experienced a mix of traditional teachings and engaging activities. Relationships were built between First Nation and Métis communities through the sharing of knowledge and cultural teachings. The program fostered a deep sense of connection, ensuring that students were not only prepared for high school but proud of their heritage.
