Community Service Requirements

All students in grades 9 to 12 must complete 40 hours of community service to meet the Ontario Ministry of Education requirement.  In keeping with our belief in Catholic social teachings and our commitment to social justice, we have expanded and integrated community service into all grade levels.

 

Grade 7 students  –  10 hours

Grade 8 students  –  10 hours

Grade 9 students  –  20 hours

Grade 10 students – 20 hours

Grade 11 students – 20 hours (specifically Christian service)

Grade 12 students – 20 hours (specifically Christian service)

 

The community service hours performed by grade 11 and 12 students must incorporate the Christian ideals of the “preferential option for the poor” and outreach to the disenfranchised members of our communities.  We believe that such efforts educate our students at a multitude of levels and encourage them to reflect on conscience, political reality, empathy, compassion, and their own perspective, further contributing to our ideal of holistic education for each student.

 

A student who attends Holy Name of Mary College School from grades 7 through 12 will graduate with 100 hours of community service.

 

 

OUR MISSION

The mission of Holy Name of Mary College School is to educate young women to their full potential within the teachings and traditions of the Catholic faith.
