Work/Volunteer Experience Info Sheet

By now, you should have heard from me explaining to you on how to fill out the work experience/community service time sheet. For those of you who were not in your English class when I visited, here's a brief reminder of what you need to do:

As part of the graduation requirement, students are required to accumulate at least 30 hours of either work experience and/or community service (volunteer) time while in grade 11 and 12. To better record this information, all grade 11 students are given a time sheet to fill out. The time sheet looks like this:

The form itself is fairly explanatory. Basically, you need to fill out all the relevant information, and then ask your supervisor to sign at the bottom. That's it!

Several have asked me about work experiences they have accumulated prior to this September would count or not. Basically, for the current grade 11s, all work/volunteer experiences that you have done from July 2012 would count towards this 30-hour requirement. That is, had you been working this past summer, you could well have completed this portion of your grad requirement already!

For those who had a summer job this past summer, and can no longer obtain a supervisor's signature, a copy of your pay stub to prove your employment would be sufficient. Please bring your pay stub in to see me; I will make a photocopy of it, and attach it to your form.

All completed forms will be filed into your student folder. Towards the end of your grade 12 year, the admin will check to ensure that all students have completed this part of their graduation requirement. My suggestion to you is to complete this form early to get it out of the way.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come by my office to ask me. Thanks!
