Community involvement activities are part of the school’s program. Students must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community service as part of the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The purpose of the community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the role they can play and the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities. Our local partnerships provide opportunities for students to earn community service hours in order to foster their sense of community, as well as social and global awareness.
Our core academic programs are complemented by rich and dynamic extracurricular activities. Exposure to a wide variety of life experiences helps to broaden students’ vision of the world, deepen their experience, and bring knowledge to life. We assist students in growing and becoming well-rounded citizens. The following is a list of some of the extracurricular activities that have been offered.
At Trillium, we believe in experiential learning. Our core curriculum is supported by a wide range of educational, fun and engaging outdoor education programs and monthly field trips. Through these trips, students learn to lead as they come face-to-face with true challenges of adventure, achieve intellectual, emotional and social development, and experience age-appropriate risk taking within a safe learning environment. The following is a list of some of our monthly fun and educational field trips that have been offered.
We are committed to providing an immersive educational experience, especially for all international students. Our residences provide accommodation in a home-like setting where boarding students can find ‘A Home Away from Home’. Our boarding facilities provide students a safe and clean environment under the supervision of an affectionate resident warden to ensure that all students are well taken care of.
