St. Martin's High School conducts a survey of student volunteer work 。
every year. The survey results show that many students have positive atitudes
toward volunteering. The graph above shows the average amount of time
that students spent doing volunteer work per month in this year. The table
s shows the most important reasons given for participating.
The teachers at the school have encouraged their students to volunteer
since 2009. Before then, few students did volunteer work. When Brian
Amster, the present principal, first came to the school in 2008, he found
that there was litle communication among students, their families, and the
10 Community. As St. Martin's High School was in a newly developed arca,
more than half of the students and their families were newcomers, and they
did not know cach other or the area very well. Mr. Amster thought this
was not good for the students and the communiry.
Mr. Amster came up with the idea of volunteer work. p He wanted his の
15 students to have more contact with the local people through helping those in
need. The local people really welcomed the volunteer activities. Volunteering
gave many students a chance to learn a lot, and their self-esteem improved.
It was good for the community and the students themselves, too.
Mr. Amster says, "In the beginning, most of the volunteer activities 4
20 involved helping old people. Today, however, more and more students are
doing activities related to the environment, such as cleaning parks and other
public areas. Parents are also encouraged to help, and cach year, more and
more parents are participating." One thing that makes Mr. Amster especially
proud is that most students continue voluntering even after graduation.
