and 10 must complete 40 hours of community involvement. The Principal will determine the number of hours of community involvement required for students who have successfully completed two or more years in a secondary school program outside of Ontario.

Havergal College will not approve student participation in any activities that are on the Ministry of Education’s list of ineligible activities, but it is important to note that, subject to administrative approval, students may be able to accumulate up to 10 community service hours volunteering at school-sanctioned events, such as parent-teacher conference meetings. Participation in fundraising and Community involvement activities are subject to approval by the Forum for Change Program Manager. ● For more information, contact the Forum for Change Program Manager at ext. 6505. ● All participants, including students and community sponsors, must be adequately covered by Havergal College’s insurance. Policy on Summer School, Night School, Saturday School and Correspondence Courses In order that an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) granted by Havergal College reflects academic work done at the school, Havergal has implemented the following policy on supplementary courses. These include summer school courses, night school courses, courses delivered through the Independent Learning Centre (ILC) and Saturday courses. 1. Students must take all compulsory courses for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, including ENG4U, at Havergal. 2. Students must take all prerequisite courses at Havergal. For example, a student may not take SBI3U (Biology 11) in the summer and then register for SBI4U (Biology 12) at Havergal in a subsequent year. 3. Students will not be permitted to register at an ILC, night school or Saturday school course if the course is offered and available to the student at Havergal. 4. Students registered in Saturday, night or ILC courses must maintain the minimum course load in their day program. There may be exceptions to the above policy due to extenuating circumstances, such as prolonged illness, an extraordinary commitment (e.g., National Team competition) or other special needs. These exceptions will be determined on an individual basis by the Vice Principal Teaching & Learning and the Principal, with input from the Head of Guidance and the Department Head of the particular subject.
