Starting in 2025, as part of the compulsory Grade 10 mathematics course, students must achieve a mark of 70% or higher to pass this requirement.

To graduate, students must meet the provincial literacy standard by either passing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test or completing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OLC4O). At CIC, we offer the OLC4O course.

• OLC4O Course: Enroll in the OLC4O course if you need to fulfill the literacy requirement. If you've already passed the literacy test at another school, this requirement is satisfied.

• Complete a minimum of 40 hours of unpaid community service. This requirement helps students gain civic awareness, impact their communities, and explore career options.

• Resources: A Community Involvement Guide and tracking sheet will be provided. Our Guidance Team is available to assist with finding suitable activities.
