Students are required to complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement activities before graduation.

• School staff will discuss appropriate types of community involvement activities and projects with students and may offer suggestions, but the selection and management of the involvement is to be directed by the student.

• The TDSB publishes a list of approved and non-approved activities. Students choosing an activity not on the approved list must apply for permission in writing to the school Principal.

• Activities may take place inside or outside the school. If inside, activities may not be part of a credit course.

• The student may not displace a worker who would normally have been paid to perform the same function or receive pay.

• Community involvement may begin in the summer after Grade 8.

• An indication of completion will be entered on the student’s Ontario Student Transcript when the 40 hours have been submitted and approved.
