All tall school students are expected to complete a set number of community service hours per year while striving to accomplish a bronze, silver or gold award for outstanding contributions in the area of community service. The Purpose Volunteering immerses our children in authentic life, helping others and interacting with people from all walks of life. In volunteering our children discover their own strengths and qualities, and use these to assist others. Some consider it a preventive ingredient to create a balance for our children in the materialistic consumer world in which we live. Volunteering is a two way street, giving students an opportunity to change lives, including their own. Immersing ourselves in selfless to others, we are often initially unaware of how much we ourselves are gaining. Often we only fully comprehend the correct value of our actions after doing them. As our children adult they will arrive to fully enjoy the value of volunteering, and to comprehend what they have given, and what they in turn have received. How the Award Maneuver works Each year, all high school students are expected to entire a positive number of community service hours depending on their year group. To benefit a bronze, silver or gold award, students must go beyond the achievement of the assigned community service hours.
