The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC), Carleton University, is pleased to announce this VIRTUAL Grade 12 Spring Session of the transition program - Make the CUT. This session is designed for Grade 12 students who have a disability and are planning to attend post secondary next year.
Grade 12 Students have been through a very challenging 2 years of school with COVID.
We want to raise their comfort level as they move on to post-secondary.
The theme of this event is HOPE! As well as highlighting strategies and resources to help prepare for this transition, we will also offer information related to self-exploration, connectedness, and resilience that these incoming students can develop to ease this journey. Session presenters have incorporated these strategies into their presentations and will be wonderful highlights and practical in their use! The Transition Session has added a Summer Plan for students to help them kickstart their planning for their Fall Term. There will also be added Q & A throughout the afternoon so that we can interact with our audience!
Please reach out to Shannon Saturno(Shannon.Saturno@ocsb.ca) to register your child for this event.
