Community Service Hours
The Ministry of Education has reduced the minimum number of community service hours required to graduate in June 2021 to 20, in recognition of the difficulty in accumulating hours during the pandemic. Other restrictions have been relaxed. For more information, and some suggestions for creative ways to earn your volunteer hours, check out the Community Involvement Hours page.
Literacy Graduation Requirement
The literacy graduation requirement will be waived by the Ontario Ministry of Education (OME) for all students graduating during the 2020-2021 school year.
The Ministry of Education is exploring a field test of the online OSSLT in the spring of 2021, which could allow the opportunity for non-graduating students to write the test and have successful attempts counted on their transcripts.
