School Communication #36 – Community Service Deadline Reminder for Graduating Students

Good afternoon – Both students and parents/guardians are copied in on this message.  If you are receiving this message, it means that either you, or a student in your household, are in Gr. 12 and are missing community service hours.  As part of the diploma requirements, students must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement activities.  As of the timing of this message, this requirement has not been met and we are asking students to satisfy this requirement by April 1, 2024.   These hours must be completed so that an Ontario Secondary School Diploma can be conferred upon them at our graduation ceremony on June 27th, 2024.  The reason for the April 1, 2024 deadline is so that we have time to register the student hours and that the Ministry of Education recognizes them and sends the school the appropriate number of diplomas for our purposes.

Please click HERE to be taken to our school website for more information regarding this program.  Here, you can also find various community service opportunities.

Students can access the form for submitting their hours to Student Services here: Community Involvement Activity.pdf 

Note: The ministry has developed a list of activities that may not be chosen as community involvement activities. These are referred to as ineligible activities.  They are listed on the backside of the form above.  If you are unsure of what is and what isn’t acceptable community service activities, please see an administrator or a Student Services staff member for more information.

Note: It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they have checked with Student Services to confirm that their hours have been recorded correctly. 

We thank you for your attention to this matter.  If you have hours already completed, please fill in the sheet and submit to Student Services ASAP.
