40+ Club

Who we are: We are students who have earned our 40 Hours of Community Service. 

What we do: We encourage Grade 9 students to work to earn their community service hours as soon as possible in their high school career - preferably by the end of Grade 9. We help Grade 9 students investigate opportunities for volunteerism. We visit Grade 9 homeroom classes to tell them about the incentives.  Grade 9 students who earn all of their hours by the end of their first year in high school are congratulated by:  being treated to a free pizza lunch, being given a 'St. Pat's 40+' t-shirt that can be worn on Spirit Wear Days and enjoying a box of 'Smarties' for being so smart about their hours!

Benefits to members: We engage the Grade 9 students in a fun way and we promote volunteerism. We also help fellow students complete the requirements for their Secondary School Graduation Diploma.

How to get involved:  Complete your 40 Hours of Community Service, then see Ms. Roddick in the Student Success Room (Locker Bay).  If you complete these hours in Grade 9, she will find you and invite you to join.
