13. Community Contribution
Community Contribution - 30 hours - MandatoryEach student must complete 30 hours of community contribution to meet graduation requirements. It is strongly recommended that students complete these hours during the year they are taking the course. The finding of a placement to complete the volunteer work is the responsibility of the student. Students who decide to complete the hours while taking the course have the advantage of asking their teacher for advice and assistance in completing this mandatory requirement.

14. Time in the computer lab
Students must have a parent/guardian’s signed permission form for the use of school computers which will be handed out in class. It is important that this form is returned as quickly as possible – without this form students are not permitted to access school computers.
Students will be given time during class to work on assignments in the computer lab, but if work is not completed in the time allotted they are expected to complete work at home for the due date given.
