All high school students in Saskatchewan have a Graduation Plan Portfolio that is intended to assist them in exploring their interests, skills, values and personal skills while considering the many career pathways open to them within Saskatchewan, Canada, and beyond.
  • We want to ensure that all students are prepared to learn, belong and are valued, and are successful as they prepare for their future.
  • The Grad Plan will be developed in Grade 9 and will evolve through high school to Grade 12.
  • It will guide students in making informed decisions that impact their present and future lives.
  • This is a tool that will assist students in transitioning smoothly through high school and beyond -- to a future that is personally fulfilling and rewarding.
