Literacy Requirement: NO FURTHER ACTION BY YOU IS NECESSARY.
All students will have the opportunity to write the OSSLT (Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test) during the school day administered by school staff. They will write the test in Grade 10 and, if successful, will have completed the requirement. Students who do not successfully complete the OSSLT will have other opportunities to meet the literacy graduation requirement. Worry not, Guidance is aware and will reach out to students with their options.
Community Involvement Hours:
Every student in Ontario is required to complete 40 hours of volunteer work as part of their graduation requirement. Students can start accumulating these hours in the summer before entering Grade 9. Please refer to the Community Involvement link for more information and details.
