The cocurricular requirement supports student involvement beyond the challenges of their major academic courses. There are five broad categories of activities:
Participation requirements are specific to the student’s grade level, as described below. Students can meet the requirement in a semester either by taking one full cocurricular activity or two half cocurricular activities (see list next page). Students may opt to participate in more activities as their interests and schedules allow.
For ninth- and tenth-grade students: In each of the three terms students will meet the cocurricular requirement, choosing an athletic team commitment in at least one of the three terms.
For 11th-grade, 12th-grade and postgraduate students: In two out of the three terms, students will meet the cocurricular requirement, choosing an athletic team commitment in at least one of the two terms.
Cocurricular and extracurricular offerings are scheduled by terms. Most will be scheduled between 4 pm and 8 pm. Cocurriculars may also be scheduled Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. Participation in one of the following full cocurricular activities or two half cocurricular activities fulfills the requirement for one term. Depending upon the student's year of entry, the arts graduation requirements may be met by taking one or more of the courses marked with an asterix (*) in the lists below.
