Welcome back!


We hope you all had a well-deserved, relaxing break. There is change on the horizon for this new school year: l’Équipe-choc Pedagogical,RÉCIT AGE and Complementary Educational Services have elaborated a new more collaborative approach for more optimised means of communication. The objective is to better serve the network. So what does this new communication tool entail?

  • A one-stop-shop, 3-services-in-one newsletter;

  • One different theme each month;

  • A 360-degree approach to cater to your needs.


Our belief is that curriculum, complementary services and digital pedagogy should work together to ensure student success. Any requests for services can be directed to requests@ageresources.ca, where our team will analyse them and offer a plan of action. 

Of course, we are going to offer the same individual services as before, but we strongly believe that our concerted efforts will result in more success throughout our network.


Stay tuned for instructions on how to subscribe to our shared newsletter. In the meantime, you can find them on our respective websites.


We are looking forward to working with you. Have a wonderful school year!

Julie, Micheline

for the AGE Network Team

Organising and Planning: A Student Perspective

By Lucie Tremblay


I am delighted to join the Educational Services team and be part of this newsletter. I have prepared two different tools to introduce myself; a formal letter of introduction and a short video. I invite you to read/view these documents and to reach out if you wish to learn more. 


We will look into organisation and planning from a student point of view, but first, we must discuss what planning really means.
