STAHS Students who use XelloAt their monthly board meeting last week Kenora Catholic District School Board Trustees were given a presentation on a program called Xello, which is used as a tool to help students in Grades 6 to 12 identify career paths that may suit them.

Cindy Melenchenko, Experiential Learning Lead and Grade 7 student Maddyn Hughes provided a presentation on Kenora Catholic’s Xello Individual Pathways Program. The presentation included student voice, and details about how the program is used.

In month one of launching Xello Kenora Catholic was among the top three districts with the highest usage in Canada, with over 1, 400 logins.

Students can use Xello to define their interests, skills, preferences, and aspirations. Students learn about possible career options and educations pathways, and they can also create actionable plans that outline the steps they need to take to achieve their school, career, and life goals.

Maddyn shared that Xello has helped her discover more about herself and her learning styles, and it’s also helped her discover that she may want to explore a career in education or in the personal fitness field.

STAHS Parent Denise Chmeliuk is also happy with the program.

“Xello is an excellent website for both students and parents. I found it was easy to navigate through the website. My children can so anything from keeping track of the school courses that they have taken, discover future careers that intertest them, to seeing the potential earning for their career interests. We also loved how we can explore different post-secondary institutions and see what high school credits need to be earned for their future schooling needs,” She said.

Cindy Melenchenko said the goal is to have all students in Grade 6 to 12 create a Xello profile by early next year, that can follow then through their schooling.
