Community Involvement Form
Community Involvement Opportunity
Please see bulletin board outside of the guidance office
The purpose of the
community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop an
understanding of civic responsibility and the role they can play in supporting
and strengthening their communities. As well, such involvement can assist
students in increasing their awareness of community needs and in making a
positive difference. Helping others enhances the self-image of students
and fosters a greater sense of belonging. Experiences in the community may also
influence career choices.
The requirement is to be
completed outside the student's normal instructional hours. The activities are
to take place in the student's designated lunch hours, after school, on
weekends, or during school holidays. Each student must submit to the school a record
of his or her community involvement activities. Before engaging in volunteer
activities, students (and parents) are strongly advised to confirm the
eligibility of all intended volunteer activities with their school's principal
or guidance office.
