Community+Service



One of the requirements for graduation, is the completion of 40 hours of community service. We strongly recommend that students start working on these hours as soon as they have started high school. Effective July 1, 2011 students may start to accumulate community involvement hours in the summer before they enter grade 9. More information is available from this pamphlet from the Ontario Ministry of Education.



All hours need to be recorded and you will require the signature of the supervisor to confirm the hours that you have volunteered with them. You may pick up a copy of the record sheet in Guidance or download it here.



It is strongly recommended that before you do any volunteering with any organization or with individuals that you come into guidance and discuss what you are planning on doing with either your guidance counsellor or Mrs. Annable to confirm that what you are planning on doing is in fact going to count for community service.
