HOW MANY HOURS DO I NEED TO GRADUATE?  **New for 2024/2025

As you may know, it is a graduation requirement that all secondary students in Ontario complete 40 hours of community involvement. 

As always, students are encouraged to continue their engagement with community involvement activities above and beyond 40 hours for the many benefits that this brings including:

• Ongoing civic engagement and positive contributions to their community as Halton youth

• The opportunity to explore interests, passions and potential career aspirations

• Networking and relationship-building with supportive community members and organizations

• Added benefits for award, scholarship and other important recognitions offered by the school and local community as well as post-secondary institutions

New in the 2024-2025 school year: Students who complete more than 40 community involvement hours are encouraged to maintain their own record of completed community involvement hours. Secondary schools will no longer track and collect documentation for the completion of community involvement hours beyond the 40 hours required. Students can maintain a record of completed involvement hours by:

• Digitally tracking the completion of hours in their myBlueprint account (High School Planner and/or Portfolio features, including the uploading of proof of completed hours from community involvement supervisors through your Brightspace page.)

• Maintaining a hard-copy folder where community involvement hour documentation (letters, signed Record of Community Involvement Hours etc.) are kept

• Completing school and outside community processes for award/scholarship selection that may require students applying to provide proof of their total community involvement hours completed 

Further information, including eligible and ineligible activities, can be found on the Community Involvement Hours webpage on the HDSB website (hdsb.ca). 

Please contact your school Guidance Office if you have any questions or concerns.
