Course Changes |
Course Requests must be requested using the Course Change Request Form located in your guidance counsellor’s individual Google Classroom. No requests will be considered via email or Remind. Course changes are not guaranteed and are dependent on availability and cohort assignments. We cannot guarantee the order/placement of courses. ALL COURSE CHANGE REQUESTS MUST INCLUDE PARENT/GUARDIAN PERMISSION. Permission is in the form of your parent/guardian's digital signature which is required for the request to be considered. No course changes are made unless a Parent/Guardian has signed the form. You will be notified of the status of your Course Change Request via your Grade Counsellor's REMIND. You must be on the Remind to receive notification of the timetable change. Be sure to attend your classes based on your current student timetable. Please note: Until the student timetable change has officially been made to your schedule and you have received confirmation from your Guidance Counsellor, you are to remain in the current class. |

If you are submitting your course selection with a course requesting a separate application, then be sure to complete the extra Google Form.

Some of these courses include Co-operative Education, Peer Tutoring, Yearbook and Leadership courses. |
Community Involvement Hours |
Students need 40 Hours of Community Involvement to graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Grade 8 students can start earning community involvement hours the summer between Gr 8 and 9. As a rule of thumb, if students earn 10 hours per grade, then they will graduate with the requirement. Students record their community involvement hours on a record card, getting their sponsor signature, verifying the completion of the hours. Find below at the end of this page, links to the Community Involvement Record Cards. For additional resources: 1. The Durham District School Board has a page on their website highlighting Community Involvement Hours, as well. 2. The United Way Durham Region hosts a website and Volunteer Database, page highlighting varied opportunities for community service. 3. The Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services also has a website, highlighting Youth Opportunities, for volunteering across the Province of Ontario. Please note: For the 2020-21 school year: The Ministry of Education is revising the 40-hour community involvement graduation requirement so that students will not be adversely impacted by the ongoing challenges related to COVID-19. REMINDER: For students graduating in the 2020-21 school year, the community involvement graduation requirement will be reduced to a minimum of 20 hours of community involvement activities. This recognizes that graduating students have had barriers to earning their community involvement hours last school year and there may be continued barriers this school year. In addition, the Ministry is providing increased flexibility in how all secondary students can earn hours in 2020-21, as follows:
