From the Library Learning Commons
Clarkson’s Library Learning Commons continues to develop its excellent program and resources. We provide our
students with a physical and virtual classroom to enable our students to work with information from many types of
media.
Teachers and the teacher-librarians are working together to help students think critically and creatively as they work
on their school projects. We continue to add to the collection: from Giller prize-winning books to required books
reading for courses to student requests, we are happy to purchase books for the collection. We have excellent
online resources and encourage students to use these digital resources from home. All grade 9 students have had
two mandatory workshops: they have been introduced to the library program and have learned how to create a
works cited page using MLA format to help avoid plagiarism issues. All semester 1, grade 11 English students have
had a refresher workshop on the library and its resources. We have liaised with Clarkson Public Library and all
students have had the opportunity to get a FREE Mississauga Public Library card in order to access the public
library’s vast resources. We are all working happily and diligently to create an effective and vibrant learning
environment for Clarkson Secondary School’s community.

Get Extra Help with Numeracy, Literacy and Learning Skills
Counting On You (CoY) is a free,
non-credit, Peel after-school
program. It is typically
intended for students in
grades 9 and 10 who would
benefit from additional
coaching and help in the areas of numeracy, literacy
and learning skills acquisition. Counting on You
members meet every Monday and Wednesday from
2:45 p.m.-4:15 p.m. in rooms 132 and 133. Students
join us for a daily snack, workshops, and homework
support. At our Clarkson site, students are also given
the opportunity to partake in physical activity/game
each time they attend. This year, we are thrilled to
have had such interest in the program. We had our
first meeting on October 27th and look forward to
working with our wonderful students throughout the
semester. New comers are still welcome! To learn
more, please contact your child’s teacher or the CoY
lead teacher directly at timea.szoboszlai@peelsb.com.

Arts Department
Drama
It's hard to believe that
the semester is over half
way through! So far this
semester ESL, grade 9 and
10 drama students have been
creating and presenting performances using
tableau and mime. Congratulations to all for
exploring your creativity and sharing your artistry
with your classmates!
The Drama Department is also very proud to
announce that three of our student playwrightdirectors, as well as many student actors will be
participating in this year’s StudentWrights
Festival. This festival is intended to promote,
develop and present original student drama
throughout the Peel District School Board.
Performances will be held mid-November in the
theatre at Meadowvale Secondary School –
specific performance dates will be announced
soon, so stay tuned so that you can come out to
support our writers, directors and actors! Their
works will be professionally adjudicated as a part
of an ongoing process in their creative
development, and we hope that the work they
create will continue to evolve and grow beyond
the November performance date.
Visual Arts
The art department is busy filling Clarkson with
beautiful, creative works. Thanks to the many
parents who visited the art rooms on parents’
night. We have a dedicated group of students
that are working on various projects to beautify
the school. The new Grade 12 yearbook course is
off and running and they can’t wait for the
finished product. It is still not too late to
purchase a yearbook for $25.00 (art room) and
hold on to the memories of high school. Current
displays are in the process of being changed over.
Watch our Parent Council frames and display
cases for new and exciting work. The grade nines
are finishing their foray into perspective with the
maze assignment. Each student is seeing success
and the ability to draw in perspective is an
effective tool to use in life. Grade 10’s are
currently working on gargoyles and illuminated
letters. Developing the ability to think 3
dimensionally can be very challenging. The idea
of improving our handwriting is always welcomed
and the large letter allows for ink work to be
grandiose! Grade 11 photography sees the
building crawling with cameras looking up and
looking down! Keep an eye out for these great
pictures to fill our yearbook with memories of
each day here at Clarkson. We are so busy
creating our art that time has flown by us and we
are eagerly anticipating the art work to fill our
grade 12’s portfolios and prepare them for
University and College. For those who like to
keep their art skills honed while not in an art
class, continue to check the art
contest board and submit work
and share your creations with
others. Looking forward to
keeping the art room full of
activity this winter, be sure
to drop by.

Health and Physical Education
It has been a very busy start to the year in the Physical
Education department. The leadership class went off
to Olympia Sports Camp in early September. There
they spent three days participating in leadership
building activities. This experience taught them the
necessary attributes of being a leader with the focus
of how to use their strengths at Clarkson and in the
community. They put their skills to use as they helped
organize our grade 9/12 activity day on September 26.
Physical education clothing went on sale in early
September. Shirts cost $10 and shorts are $17. If you
are still interested in purchasing these items, please
see Mr. Russell in the Phys. Ed. Office.
The girls’ physical education classes had the
opportunity to work with Carol Connor of Total
Defense in a self-defense workshop on October 7.
Grade 9 girls participated during periods 1 and 2 while
grades 10-12 participated in periods 3 and 4.
It is very encouraging to see students dedicated to
improving their overall health and wellbeing.
Hopefully, each individual feels better about general
fitness, and realizes the correlation between health
and academic success.

tournaments in the following sports: senior girls'
basketball, varsity girls' flag football, varsity girls' field
hockey, junior boys’ volleyball, varsity boys’ football,
cross country running, golf, and bocce.
Congratulations to our Varsity girls' field hockey team

Field Hockey
Congratulations to the girls’ field hockey team who
for the second year in a row won the Tier 1 ROPSSAA
Field Hockey Championships beating John Fraser S.S.
3-1.
Goalie, Kyra Younan, was amazing making an
incredible foot save on a tricky shot. Our playmakers,
Emma Young, Margaret Pham, and Miranda Hunter
deked , dodged, ad played through the legs of the
opponent. They had the crowd oohing and ahhing
with their brilliant stickhandling skills. Our defense
held our end, not allowing the other team past our 25yard line. Kristen Ekels, Emily Hudson and our rookie,
Yeo Myong Bang were a rock-solid wall not letting
anything past them. Emma deked through the
defense for our first goal and Lauren Weaver put it in
the net. It was only fitting and meant to be when
Lauren scored our first goal 10 minutes into the game;

Lauren had to sit in the stands last year while she
fought cancer. Lauren’s grit and determination
brought her back to the field and a championship.
The second goal was by our rookie, Emily
Wassmansdorf, who shot a one-timer from a pass
from Margaret, into the corner of the net. The third
goal was tipped in by our grade 12 rookie, Nancy Hills,
off a shot from Emma.
The team heads to OFSAA on Thursday, November 6
to Saturday, November 8 in Burlington.
Science
Ms. Lye’s and Madame Heneault’s grade 9 core
French and French immersion students travelled to
the park behind South Common Mall as an
introduction to their ecology unit. The students
participated in a program that is run by the Credit
Valley Conservation Youth Corps. The grade 9
students participated in a variety of activities aimed
at studying and rehabilitating a local ecosystem.
The students planted 150 trees and they
participated in a hunt to locate and identify invasive
species growing in the area. They also played a
game to illustrate how invasive species can take
over an ecosystem. A great time was had by all!
CSI—Clarkson Science Investigation is a club run by
grade 12 students during lunch every Monday and
Wednesday. The club is aimed at helping anyone
who has a question in science. The club has been a
huge success and is bursting with activity. Students
taking grade 9 science (French immersion or regular
stream) to those taking a university grade 12 course
in chemistry, physics or biology have come in to CSI
for clarifications on lessons taught in their classes,
to have labs or assignments proofread, or just to
receive guidance with completing homework. All
science students are welcome and encouraged to
come by and check it out!
Social Sciences and
Family Studies
The Model UN club is ready for the 2014/2015
season and students are looking forward to a
number of model UN meetings.
This November, the team will participate in the
University of Toronto Secondary School Crisis
Simulation where students will responds to crisis
events from the past and future with real time
information updates. It should be an exciting
experience. Registration for the U of T Model UN

Model UN Team also welcomes Mr. Prosser and Mr.
Williams who bring a wealth of knowledge and
experience to the team. We have some very strong
students this year and are taking a record number
of 20 participants downtown to the University of
Toronto events!
The 2015 Europe trip is fast approaching and
students are very excited about visiting the WW1
and WW2 battle sites and cemeteries in France,
Belgium and England. Some highlights of the trip
include visits to Versailles and the Louvre in Paris
and a trip on the Euro Star train through the
channel tunnel from Lille, France to London,
England.
Remembrance Day this year will see the first ever
live stream event in Clarkson,
where the
special guest speaker and
various remembrance day
events will be broadcast live
from the Auditorium to
various classrooms in the
schools. Both Mr. Reed and
Mr. Prosser have been
working very hard on this
initiative and it should
prove to be a huge
success, paving the way
for still more interesting
opportunities for 21st century learning and work.

Student Services
The fall has been a whirlwind of activity in the
Student Services area.
Counsellors met with all Grade 9 classes to
introduce themselves and also for the students to
sign on to My Blueprint and set short-term goals for
this school year. As all Clarkson students have a My
Blueprint account, parents are encouraged to
explore this wonderful resource with their child;
course selections, pathway information, postsecondary resources, and resume building are just a
sample
of
the
information
available.
www.myblueprint.ca.
On October 3rd, we had 225 Grade 8 students from
our feeder schools spend the day and experience a
‘Taste of High School’ at Clarkson. The students
participated in six optional classes, listened to
informative presentations from students at
Clarkson, and then enjoyed a BBQ, Fall Fair and
watched a football game. It was a wonderful day
and showcased our great school.
Grade 11 and 12 students participated in the
Pathways Fair, the morning of October 15th , and
chose to listen to three presentations from
universities and colleges across Ontario. At lunch
time, all Clarkson students had the opportunity to
visit the tables of the 35 post-secondary
institutions. Mr. Kinnie organized this very
beneficial day and is to be thanked for his efforts.
Prospective graduating students will receive
information about the application to both college
and/or university. Students interested in applying
to college can start this process now by logging
onto www.ontariocolleges.ca. University applicants
must wait for the arrival of the PIN (personal
information number) which is sent to us by the
Ontario
University
Application
Center
(www.ouac.on.ca). This usually occurs the last
week of November and a lunch hour presentation
will take place about the application process at this
time. Guidance counsellors will meet with all
potential grads throughout November and
December, to discuss post-secondary plans and
ensure all requirements are being met.
On October 15th, Clarkson S.S.
held a very informative and
successful on-site postsecondary pathways fair.
Representatives from over 30
colleges and universities were
present, complete with course
calendars and a multitude of
informational packets, ready
to answer any questions.
Carleton University and
Queens University conducted
lunchtime presentations in
the Career Centre, providing
more details for students
interested in a specific
post-secondary pathways.

Clarkson’s Dryland Training
Back by popular demand,
Clarkson’s Dryland Training
team! Originally inspired by
the Clarkson Swim team’s
need to practice both in
pool, as well as develop
cardio and strength training
on land, the Dryland Training team quickly became
a group of motivated, dedicated, and hard-working
young athletes. As word spread, more and more
students (even non-athletes!) showed interest in
leading a healthy/active lifestyle. This school year,
since the first week in September, the Dryland
Training Team has been running high-intensity boot
camps lead by Mme Smiley. This team is open to all
Clarkson students and is now being offered twice a
week- Wednesday and Friday mornings at 7:00 a.m.
Come go #beastmode to get fit and have fun!
An Update from Student Council
“Clarkson’s Got Talent” and, this year, for the first
time ever we are hosting this with a ‘Multicultural’
theme. This will be a great way to end the Fall season!
Our last event of the year will be Kid Fest for Grade 1
students from our community elementary schools,
Willow Glen and Elmcrest. We look forward to
planning events for our Chargers to make the 20142015 the most memorable yet!
Peel International Academy “Goes Green” at
the Meadowvale Conservation Area
In September, the Geography and Science students at
Peel International Academy went on a stewardship
excursion to Meadowvale Conservation Area. The
classroom was taken outdoors as students hiked
along the Credit River Watershed, studying trees,
invasive species, and its fragile ecosystem. The
second half of the day was spent planting 150 trees in
an established meadow. It was rough terrain for first
time planters but very rewarding knowing that we all
contributed to sustainable living. A full and fun day
will be remembered by all.
Clarkson’s 2014-2015 SAC has been working
extremely hard since September to make this year
the best for everyone at this wonderful school.
Together, the entire team planned a funny and
interesting video for the first assembly of the year,
as well as, the fun and fantastic Grade 9/12 Activity
Day, along with the Clarkson Athletic Association,
which was enjoyed by all our Chargers! In October,
we had the fun and fantastic Fall Fair. We also had
our first BLACK and YELLOW spirit day for Friday
night lights. Lastly for the month of October to
celebrate Halloween, homeroom classes
participated in pumpkin carving and door
decorating. We had many creative submissions-judging by SAC students was not easy! Choosing
Grade Reps for our NEW SAC General Assembly was
difficult because of the stellar candidates but we
chose some exceptional students to assist our SAC
team in creating the best high school experience for
our Chargers. We worked extremely hard for the
feeder school assembly where we introduced
future high school students to one of the best
schools in Peel. For Charger in Charge day on
November 25th we are organizing our famous

Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards
On a beautiful fall day, September 24, new
registrants completed their Practice Journey Hike
on the Bruce Trail.
At the Awards Ceremony on October 22, Mr.
Gurpreet Singh Dipak, Field Officer, The Duke of
Edinburgh’s Award-Ontario Division honoured six
Chargers. He presented Bronze Award certificates
and pins to Michelle Cooper, Abigail Natnat, and
Alyssia Robertson-Leithwood. Kaitlyn Green,
Benjamin Sinek, and Kamraan Tomkiewicz received
their Silver Award pins. Their certificates will be
presented to them by the Lieutenant-Governor of
Ontario on another occasion.
Ms. Jill Hermant, Executive-Director, will meet with
members of our club on November 12.
Free the Children
On October 2nd, our
Chargers were invited
back again to WE DAY
that took place at the Air Canada Centre. WE DAY is
an event that students can only earn tickets to
through service; you cannot buy your way to this
show. This year, Clarkson Secondary School was
the grand prize winner for the province of Ontario
and three of our very own students and one of our
teachers (Señora Loutrianakis) will be heading off
to Ecuador this summer for two weeks. Thanks to
the generosity of EF tours and Free the Children we
will get to help build a school for a needy
community. Needless to say, we are all very
excited! Our first official campaign for the school
year is also underway as students are collecting
non-perishable food items for the WE SCARE
HUNGER campaign which runs until Halloween.
Prizes will be awarded to the top two homeform
classes. Please follow @clarksoncharger to keep
updated about our groups activities. We look
forward to another exciting year of change. Our
Chargers are no strangers to hard work and
thinking of others and our students understand
that “children helping children through education”,
no matter how small a contribution, has a ripple
effect of positive change.
Project Milk Bag
Clarkson students and community members are
asked to send clean milk bags to Room 204 and/or
Room 110 to help with Project Milk Bag. Students
cut up pre-used milk bags into strips that can be
crocheted in to sleeping mats for children in Haiti
whose homes have mud floors. It takes about 300
bags to make one mat, and it is so much better to
re-use the bag than to put it in the garbage.
Mural in Student Support Room
The Student Support room was recently updated with a
beautiful mural painted by recent grad, Cynthia Brenes.
It took Cynthia a week to paint the 9 x 9 foot image of a
peaceful koi pond. Many students have come by to
admire her
work. The
Contact Room
is available to
Special
Education
students who
need extra
help to
complete
assignments,
or any
students who
need to write make-up tests.
Knitting Club
Clarkson’s Knitting Club has many new participants
this year. Boys and girls start by knitting a yellow
and gold Charger bracelet to sell for charity. Once
they have acquired the basic skills, they move on
this year’s hottest fashion item: slouchy toques!
Students may choose to make one for themselves
or to knit toques to sell to raise money for Camp
Ooch or for the Creation of Hope Orphanage. We
hope to have some items to sell before the Winter
Holiday. Thanks sincerely to community members
who have both donated wool and contributed
knitted items for our Club to sell.

Help your Child Prepare for Tests
Many students will become anxious at the
thought of writing a test. Anxiety about an
upcoming test can affect a child's behaviour,
thoughts and actions. Here are some ways you
can help minimize anxiety at test time:
Organize & Prepare:

Encourage your child not to leave
assignments, studying and homework to
the last minute.

Schedule time for review and work on
assignments each day.

Establish a regular time of the day for
homework, studying etc.

Make the home a homework-friendly
environment where learning is regular
routine.

Remove distractions like the television,
stereo, telephone when studying.

Tell your child to make sure tests and due
dates are marked in their agenda.
Practice:

Encourage your child to think about what,
when,
where
and
how
when
preparing/completing assignments.

Develop practice tests and help them
anticipate questions.

Review previous exercises.

When appropriate, encourage your child to
pair up with a friend to review information
and brainstorm.

Build learning into family activities—
suggest keeping a journal, writing a report
or a news article about family events,
outings or trips.
Be in the know:

Check out the curriculum for your child’s
grade level (available as PDF files at
www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum)

Ask your child’s teacher about major topics
studied and how these topics are
structured— homework, assignments,
exercises

Use your child’s agenda to communicate
with their teacher—ask questions, check
for homework tips, etc.

Clarkson is a wonderful and vibrant secondary school where all students are allowed to flourish and develop. We are looking
forward to another fulfilling year for our children.

welcome back existing and many new parents to our School Council meeting on September 17 which was very well attended.
We encourage all parents/guardians to attend School Council meetings to obtain valuable curriculum information provided by
departmental staff. In addition, our meetings provide a forum for parents and the community to comment and provide
feedback
I am very happy to welcome our new council for the 2014-2015 school year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help
support the administration for this school year.

Dear Families,
Peel Public Health will be reviewing the immunization records of all students at our school starting
this fall. In order to attend school in Ontario, students must have a complete immunization record.
You submitted a copy of your child’s immunization record when you registered your child for
school in Peel. This copy was forwarded to Peel Health; however, additional immunizations may be
required.
When the review process begins, if Peel Health does not have complete immunization records for
your child, you or your child (if over 16) will receive a letter in the mail telling you that the record
needs to be updated. If you do not update the record by the date indicated on your letter, or you
do not have a valid exemption, your child may not be allowed to attend school.
An incomplete record does not necessarily mean that your child has not been immunized—what it
means is that Peel Public Health does not have a complete record of your child’s immunizations.
Find out if your child’s record is complete by calling Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700. Caledon
residents can call toll-free at 905-584-2216.
If your child’s record is not complete, you must update it with Peel Public Health:

Go online to www.immunizepeel.ca and click on 'report your child's immunization'

Phone: 905-799-7700 (Toll free: 1-888-919-7800)
If your child is missing immunizations, make an appointment with your family doctor. If you do not
have a family doctor you can visit a walk-in clinic. I’ve included a list of clinics on the back of this
letter. If you do not have OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) please call Peel Public Health at
905-799-7700 for information about free immunization clinics. When your child receives new
immunizations, make sure to send the updated record to Peel Public Health using one the methods
listed above.
I wanted to make sure you had this information as soon as possible to avoid any surprises when the
review process starts. If you have any questions, call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 and ask to
speak to the immunization records team.
Sincerely,
Jim Kardash
Principal

What you should know about immunization
In order to attend school in Ontario, your child must have an up-to-date immunization record. When
you registered your child for school, you provided a copy of your child's immunization record. The
school sends this information to Peel Health.
Keep track of your child's immunizations
After registration, keeping your child's records up to date is your responsibility. Students who are
not completely immunized and do not have a valid exemption may not be allowed to attend school.
Use this chart to keep track of your child's immunizations:
