Service Requirements Explained
-
The Community Service Day with Bishop Chatard
The entire Bishop Chatard community will spend one full day of school in service. All students (organized in their service groups) will travel away from Bishop Chatard High School and engage in service work amongst our community.
Each group will be set up with
an agency desiring specific needs. Students will have the opportunity to experience a different side of life together as a group. Juniors and Seniors will take a leadership position.
Students absent on this day will need to arrange with the Campus Ministry Department an appropriate make up service experience.
The Community Service Day for 2011/12 is October 11.
-
The Parish Service Day
All
Bishop Chatard students will spend one-half of a school day performing service in a parish. Students will be
organized according to their home parish (those without a parish in the North Deanery will
be assigned one) and lend a helping hand wherever they are needed (in the classroom, on the
parish grounds, in the cafeteria.etc).
Students absent on this day will need to arrange with the Campus Ministry Department an appropriate make up service experience.
The Parish Service Day for 2011/12 is scheduled for April 18.
-
The Individual Student Project
Students plan, organize, and implement a service project with an outside agency, with a
parish, with one's family (not to one's family) or through Bishop Chatard. The leader of the
service groups will meet with their students to help them plan, organize and implement their
own project. Each student in the group should have some leadership role (i.e., time commitment, physical work, taking responsibility for getting $50 donations, making posters or going to homerooms, making announcements, etc.).
The goal of this project is to create an environment for the juniors and seniors to engage in meaningful service to/with other human beings they are in direct contact with.
-
Three Hours of Parish Service
3 hours of service to/with a parish. Non-Catholics can complete service to their own church/parish. If a student does not belong to a parish, he/she may complete service to/with any North Deanery Parish.
-
One Hour of Service to Bishop Chatard High School
1 hour of service to Bishop Chatard High School. This does NOT include service with an athletic team/club.
Personal Service Project Defined
Each service project will be two hours or more (with 'more' stressed), consisting of five people or more, and BCHS students are expected to take a leadership role in planning, organizing, and implementing each project. The service project will include meaningful service to/with other human beings they are in direct contact with.
Leadership Role Defined
Each student is to take a leadership role in each service project. A leadership role is planning and organizing a service project for a group of people, organizing work schedules, recruiting others to be involved in the project, raising money, advertising the service project, or another duty as defined by the service advisor.
