Challenges
To create a website in the image of its student body, this institution needed something colorful and multicultural. Since the school was looking to fight an absenteeism problem reaching some 20%, the site was designed around the idea of “presence,” keeping in line with the global action strategy adopted by the school to reduce absenteeism.Solutions
In order to foster a sense of belonging in the students, the site echoes the building’s architectural type while its numerous colors represent diversity. A calendar of the school’s upcoming activities also appears on the front page to highlight the school’s unique character— it’s the only one in Quebec to offer mandatory integrated activities that place students in learning situations according to area of interest rather than age group.Results
With its funky and cool-looking site, École Saint-Henri has given itself a user-friendly and functional tool designed according to the highest standards. The institution is now in a position to communicate directly with its students and their parents. The site will also help spread the word about its unique integrated activity program, which has been quite a success with the students.Other Projects
