Eligibility For Extra Activities



The major purpose of a school is to help each student develop his/her potential as an individual and as a contributing, responsible member of an extra curricular activity. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the eligibility of students for extra curricular activities. We know that “anything good stems from good attendance”, therefore attendance, lates and behaviour play an integral part in this policy along with academic achievement.
The following outline our expectations:-
  1. Student participants in extra curricular activities who are in their first two years of high school must be enrolled in at least 8 courses. In the third and fourth years, student participants must be enrolled in at least 6 courses. These courses must be at Runnymede Collegiate Institute (night school, private school or summer school courses do not count).
  2. Student participants must have an R.C.I. student activity card.
  3. Students must be punctual and attend ALL classes regularly and display acceptable behaviour within the classroom, halls, library, auditorium, etc.
  4. Students must satisfy completely the requirements of R.C.I.’s School Code of Conduct and Uniform Policy, both in school and during participation in extra curricular activities.
  5. Student participants must be in attendance at school on a given day and attend ALL classes in order to practice or participate on that day

  6. ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY FOR EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES – Any student who fails to achieve an average of 60% and is not passing three quarters of their subjects, will be reviewed by the supervisor/administrator of the activity. The student’s achievement, effort, and attendance will be reviewed and one of the following actions taken:-
  7. the student will not be permitted to participate in any extra curricular activities that term;
  8. the student will be permitted to participate on a probationary basis. Students on probation will be required to take a sheet to class each day. Their teachers will sign the sheet indicating punctuality, attendance in class and may make comments on effort and achievement;
  9. the student will be allowed to participate if effort and attendance remain satisfactory.

NOTE: Student marks from the June report card of the previous year will be carried over as the marks criteria for the fall semester extra curricular activities
