Students must complete 40 Community Service Hours to receive their OSSD (diploma).
These are often referred to as "volunteer" hours, when in fact they must be COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS.
These hours must be UNPAID.
These hours must be OUTSIDE of REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS.
They cannot be for private or for profit businesses, companies, or people.
If you are unsure whether your hours are APPROVED, please see GUIDANCE or your PRINCIPAL to get the "PRE-APPROVED" box signed off on your record sheet PRIOR to BEGINNING those hours.
