The
student is responsible for finding and completing 40 hours
of volunteer work. The school will not be directly involved
in finding volunteer placements for students or monitoring
students while they are completing their volunteer work. Once
the student has completed their 40 hours of volunteer work,
they must submit the documentation of this on the appropriate
form obtained from the Guidance Office.
The parent
is responsible for checking potential placements before the
student begins volunteering.
The school
is responsible for advising students of the requirements and
procedures for completing the 40-hour community involvement
requirement. Students will receive information and appropriate
forms from their home form teacher, teacher advisor or Guidance
department.
The community
involvement requirement is designed to encourage students
to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility
and of the role they can play in supporting and strengthening
their communities.
