COMMUNITY SERVICE - LOGGING YOUR HOURS
Year 11 and 12 students are asked to keep a copy of their respective QR code, either printed out or on your phone.
When you complete community service with your chosen organisation, present the QR code to your supervisor and together, you can fill out the google form to log your hours.
It is important that you include your Full Name (First and Surname) in your google form, as this is how I sort and collate your hours.
The Community Service Journals with reflection questions will be a Class Task on Learning Areas from the beginning of Semester 1, 2026.
