All students in Ontario are required to complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement as part of the secondary school diploma requirements. The OCDSB's Community Involvement Hours website offers insight into the purpose behind this requirement, as well as suggestions for completing this requirement during these challenging times.
Please contact your Guidance Counsellor or Ms. Young if you want to confirm that your planned activity qualifies for Community Involvement Hours.
Guidelines for Community Involvement
Students are encouraged to complete their volunteer hours early in their high school career. Students are even able to start accumulating community involvement hours in the summer before they enter grade 9.
For those looking for ideas, the SC Guidance department maintains a list of volunteer opportunities; students can also view the postings on the community service board located outside of the Guidance Office.
Submit your Community Involvement Hours Log Sheet to Ms. Montanaro in Guidance.
