~In Loving Memory~
It is with a heavy heart that I write this introduction to this newsletter. Recently our
community suffered the loss of a young man
in a tragic car accident. I am extremely
proud of the manner in which the staff and
students have responded to this terrible
tragedy. Whenever a young person dies it
is a reminder to us that no life or moment
should be taken for granted. As a people of
faith, and with our believe in the resurrection, may God grant Chad’s soul eternal
rest and may God bring peace and comfort
to the families and friends of this young man
and to those injured in the accident. If you
are aware of someone in need of immediate
support and counseling as they grieve,
please do contact me so that support may be
provided. At St. Edmund Campion we
will, in all that we do, celebrate the memory of Chad and look to our faith to provide
us strength and unity as we remember and
mourn together. On behalf of the St. Edmund Campion community I wish to offer
my condolences to the family who has lost
their son. May God keep Chad in the palms
of His hands.
By now you should have received an early
warning letter if your son or daughter is in
jeopardy of not attaining their credits.
There is still much time left for students to
raise their marks and this notice also should
open the door for communication designed
to develop a plan for success. Please take
the time needed to speak with the teachers
and identify the problem and more importantly, discuss what needs to be done to
implement successful strategies.
On November 25th, our School Council
will host a presentation which will focus in
on the presence of gangs in the Brampton
community. To date, we have had our
elections and many thanks for those who
have put their names forward to lead as
executive members. Last year our School
Council sponsored a number of tremendous
presentations and this one also promises to
be as informative and of value to parents

and students. Please mark this date on your

St. Edmund Campion continues to be alive
with activities and with many great things
happening in the co-curricular life of the
students. There is virtually no reason for
students not to find an activity in which they
can have some fun. Our staff offers a wide
range of co-curricular and I strongly encourage that the students take full advantage of
these opportunities. At this time I would
like to thank all coaches and club leaders
who have so willingly and gracefully given
their time to make great things happen for
our kids thus far this year. Recently we
hosted a very successful Alternative Trick or
Treat evening and our staff and students
opened the door to our community and
provided lots of fun for our little Bears we
hope will one day be part of our Campion
student body.
There are a number of exciting things happening in the school building at this time.
The Stain Glass Club is yet again designing
and creating stain glass windows. Work is
beginning at establishing a Peace Garden.
We continue to look at the feasibility of
creating Recording Engineering as our Pathway Program.
My final thoughts today are with the grade
12 students who at this are exploring the
possibilities for life after secondary school.
They may be anxious and excited about the
possibilities. Many might be out and out
afraid. I want you to know that we are
committed to making the transition as
smooth as we possibly can. There has been
great information shared with students and
much more is planned. Last year we had an
extremely high placement of students at the
universities, colleges and in the world of
work. Be patient, work hard, and keep
your goals clearly focused. You are an exceptional group of students who are deserving of great things and who will no doubt
bring much to where and what you do.
Believe in yourself and be confident that you
can achieve what it is you are looking for. I
look forward to bragging about you as a
group at our graduation in June.
Mr. McGuire
Go Bears!

“The Rose Still Grows Behind the Wall”
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light:
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crack in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before.
And it lost itself in beauties new.

Greetings and bless-
ings in the name of
Jesus Christ, our
brother, our Lord, and our Saviour! A
new school year is upon us and the
Church has declared this year to be the
year of Paul, apostle and martyr of the
faith. Readings for liturgies, morning
and afternoon prayer, and special prayer
services will have a distinctly Pauline
focus, as we turn to the letters of this
special prophet and missionary to inspire
the staff and students here at St. Edmund
Campion Catholic Secondary School.
This year also brings a renewed focus on
the PEACE Team. The PEACE Team
(Peers Evangelzing Against Conflict Everywhere) is a senior-student group based
out of the Chaplaincy Department at St.
Edmund Campion Catholic Secondary
School. The mission of the PEACE
Team is twofold: first, to mediate and
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive,
The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore.
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

resolve conflict in and among the student
body of St. Edmund Campion. Second,
the PEACE Team is called to community
outreach, demonstrating the ethics and
morality of Christian living with the larger population of Brampton West and
beyond.
The Virtues Program here at St. Edmund Campion was launched in September with terrific results. Ms. Jones initiated a Virtues t-shirt contest that sees
students awarded customized t-shirts for
demonstrating and modeling the virtue
of the month.
Our Pastoral Planning and Liturgical
Team has been formed for the new year.
My thanks go out to the staff members
involved for volunteering their time and
effort to help lay the groundwork for a
faith plan that will work towards delivering the message of the Gospel and building the Kingdom of God in this corner of
OFFICE
Brampton.
Both staff and students will be able to
keep up to date with all the happenings
in the Chaplaincy Department through
the Chaplaincy newsletter “From the
Chaplain’s Office”. Dates for liturgies,
developments in the outfitting of the
school chapel, retreat programs, and
more will be featured in this monthly
newsletter.
Until then, I’m looking forward to a
year of faith in action as we work to
transform our community according to
values and principles rooted in Christ
Jesus.
May God continue to bless you all abundantly!
In Christ,

MESSAGE FROM BISHOP BOISSONNEAU
$ 2,768.85
If there is ANY challenge to Catholic Schools then it is
this part of Ontario that would have to respond. The
GTA and Golden Horseshoe have the majority of Catholics. Our
parents are the ones that have to be convinced and sold on Catholic
Education, continuing to see and say the value of Catholic Schools.
If there is no conviction of the value of
Catholic Schools and we lose them, do you
think that children will attend the sacraments?
Through the CCCSC, we need to continue
to promote the value of Catholic Education
at every opportunity.
Ask the question. Discuss the answers. Why do you send your children to
Catholic School? Remind, Maintain and
Encourage. Each family should know why!!

Student Success is a priority here at
Campion!!! We offer a number of
Student Services to ensure that our
students are given multiple opportunities to be successful in High
School.
The Student Support System offered at Campion includes the
Guidance Team, the Student Success Team, Academic Resource
Team, Literacy Team, ELL Team,
two Child and Youth Workers, and
a Social Worker. Below are a few
Student Success Initiatives that
Campion has executed or has
planned.
Success, Education,
Adventure, Reaching Goals, Co-op, Hope
The SEARCH program is a new addition to Campion this school year and is
being led by teachers M. Fournier and A. Nahirniak. This program is designed to help students achieve their goal of earning their high school diploma. SEARCH is a one-year program in which students earn credits
through interdisciplinary curriculum, co-operative education and an Outward Bound experience. Students in the classroom are offered a wide range
of courses including English, Religion, Guidance, Physical Education and
Travel & Tourism. As a way of developing job skills, SEARCH students
participate in a 2 credit co-op program each semester. Some jobs that students are working at include: auto mechanics, construction, elementary
school helpers and office assistants. The other highlight of the program will
take place this winter when SEARCH students and teachers will travel to
Algonquin Park to participate in a 7-day dogsledding experience. The students will work closely with Outward Bound staff to further develop their
leadership and teamwork skills.
The Alternative Education program
is up and running out
of Room 103. Fourteen students are enrolled in this program under the awesome leadership of
Ms. Konnerth. Many
exciting events are
planned for these
students including a
visit from Guest
Speaker, Rick Osborne, on Tuesday, October 28th. As
well, our Alt. Ed. class
will be participating in a
“Leadership and High
Ropes Course” at Cedar
Glen on November 5th.
Our Alt. Ed program offers another pathway and
opportunity to succeed
for the students involved.
“A strategy for
success: set your
goal, plan and prepare, proceed
with full confidence, don’t
give up.”

Campion offers a full-day Credit Recovery program which provides students
who are credit deficient with the opportunity to recover credits on their lunch
hours. We currently have over 120 students enrolled in this program. These
students are working diligently to get
themselves back on track for Graduation
Credit Accumulation. Six teachers are
involved in delivering this program,
working together with these students
and giving them a second chance at being
successful in various subject areas.

The start of the school year in Guidance has been both
busy and exciting! This was the smoothest start up in
Campion history thanks to the hard work of our Guidance staff and the co-operation of our students. Providing timetable changes for the grade 12’s the last week in
August was very successful and will be continued again
next year. Campion’s Guidance Office is a very dynamic and informative place

During the week of October 20th – 24th , all Grade 9 Students participated in Campion’s first ever “Grade 9 Jam Sessions” which ran every
day during Period 1. These “Jam Sessions” were organized and run by the Guidance
Team (Mr. Kowaluk, Ms. Galati, Ms. Steduto, Ms. Iannetta, Mr. Weatherbee, Mr.
Hamilton) together with the Student Success Teacher – Mrs. Cerminara. The goal of
these sessions is to update and inform our Grade 9’s of important information/events
within our school or within education. Students also get a chance to get to know their
Guidance Counsellors and other Support Systems within our school. Of course there
is lots of FUN to be had as it is a “JAM”, and through all of this we are in turn nurturing and developing the future leaders of our school. More Jam Sessions are planned
throughout the rest of the school year. Let’s give it up for our “Jammers”.
Graduating Grade 12s
Our Grade 12s have also been
very busy in their research of
post-secondary institutions this
Fall. We have invited a number of College and
University representatives to give presentations to our Grade 12s to help with the big
decisions they will make over the next few
months. All Grade 12 U/M level students
received information www.electronicinfo.ca
which is a comprehensive link to Ontario universities containing information about programs of study, admission requirements, deadlines and scholarship and awards information,
etc. Students were also given their credit
counselling summaries to ensure they will
have 30 credits, have completed 40 hours of
community service and have passed the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test; all requirements of graduation.

“When we are
With the passing of the
months of September and
October, students in our various classes have studied many
texts and further developed
their reading and writing
skills. Students are reminded
that if they are experiencing
difficulty meeting curriculum
expectations to make arrangements with their teacher
to receive extra help at a time
that is suitable for both individuals.
The first step in experiencing
success is correct course selection. Most often, students
who experience the greatest
difficulty or frustration are
those who had difficulty in
their prerequisite courses.
Careful consideration in the
best interest of each student is
taken when teachers, who are
knowledgeable about the
Ministry demands of a course,
make recommendations for
course level changes. And
sometimes, a level change for
only one semester can help
better prepare a student for
his/her next or “preferred”
level for a course. A level
change should not be interpreted as a permanent decision that hinders a student’s
goals or career path, but
rather as a positive stepping
stone that will lead to increased success.

buildings and grounds before viewing the play.
ELS20 – English Literacy Skills
– is a new course being offered by
Campion this year. This course,
which can count as a compulsory
credit course, is intended to help
any grade 10 student make a
smoother transition from grade 9
D/P/L to the demands they will
face in 10 D/P/L. This course
also provides students with plenty
of opportunities to prepare for the
OSSLT (Ontario Secondary School
Literacy Test) which is a graduation requirement.
Students in ELL (English Language
Learner) visited Brampton Court
House and Brampton City Hall on
October 24 to help them become
more familiar and interact with
their new community. This trip
was also an extension activity to
solidify information and skills
learned in a unit of study for the
course.
Please note that ELL students can
receive assistance on their assignments, tests, and quizzes in room
216 during period 2, 3, and 4.
The Resource Room is managed
throughout the day by Ms.
Ouellette, Ms. Lorkovic, and Ms.
Tremblay. Students needing help
during periods 1 and 5 can make
arrangements with the teachers.

success in the semester and

The Technological Education program at St. Edmund Campion has developed into a very positive
and exciting area of study
for our students. This is a
direct
result of the extra time and
efforts of our hard working
Technology staff that continue to provide our students with the opportunity
to meet the curriculum
expectations and life’s
challenges. The development of skills required to
succeed in the demanding
world of work is a key goal
of the technology department.
The Senior Automotive Program focuses
on student-centred practical projects, selected expectations and activities for the
Broad-based Technology Curriculum. We
are continuing to develop relationships with
the automotive industry in Brampton and
welcome any support or contributions to this
venture. It is through these relationships that we will be
able to foster a strong school to industry community that
is committed to our student’s education and future.
The student’s passion for cars will be the main focus in
our curriculum area of study, where students will continually develop their automotive skills in electronics,
diagnostics, mechanical aptitude, computer applications
and engine management systems.In the Transportation

includes new vehicles). You are not responsible to bring
your vehicle into the dealer for repairs, but rather maintain your vehicle to manufacturer’s recommendations.

World Studies (CWS) department ensures that our students have a sense of
their community and encourages their
participation in it. By offering a diversity of courses and having our students

The Canadian & World Studies Department is also organizing and initiative called “Christmas in Kandahar”. In short, we will be assembling
care packages and sending them to the 300-plus Canadian soldiers and
support workers in the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction
Team at Camp Nathan Smith in Afghanistan. The purpose of
this initiative is to offer moral support to our Canadians who
are unable to come home for Christmas.
Keep your eyes and ears open as well for the possibility of an upcoming
overnight trip to Boston that is still in the works!
We are looking forward to this year’s initiatives including the United
Nations Club, our participation in the Mock Bail Hearing at the Grenville-Davis Courthouse, Mock Trials and our Parenting computerized
baby simulation.
We are also looking forward to leading the Remembrance Day celebrations to remember those who gave their lives so that we can enjoy the
life that we have today.
Campion offers grade 11
students the opportunity to
be parents for four days.
During the semester, students learn everything from
being ready to become a
parent, to delivering a baby, to raising children. Then for four days, students carry a
Realityworks baby around with them providing the care that would be necessary for
caring for a real baby. These Realityworks
babies need to be fed, changed, rocked and
burped. Students gain an awareness of the
realities associated with having and caring
for a real baby. This wonderful opportunity is one which benefits all students,
males and females, and all students are
encouraged to participate in this valuable life lesson. What an eye opener
for them!

The future Entrepreneurs at Campion are busy preparing and
designing the school store window display. Our grade 11 Entrepreneurship class are taking part in a semester long assignment
where they are responsible for designing the school store window. The assignment requires students to advertise an event
that takes place in the school or outside of the school. The purpose of the assignment is to build student’s advertising thinking
skills and have them present them in a visually creative way.
Honourable mention goes to Ms. Piliouras’ period two class:
Ricky, Jenna, Medlyn, Melanie and Kevin, who created an
amazing window to promote Halloween Haunt, which is an
event that took place at Canada’s Wonderland. The window
included: strobe lighting, tombstones, skeletons and spider

For the second year in a row, Campion
students were given the opportunity to
participate in a democratic simulation
through the Student Vote Program.
On October 7th, 2008 approximately
1900 of our students placed their ballot
to select the representative for our
Brampton West riding. The results
were very close for all the parties involved,
proving
once again
the amazing
diversity of
our student
population.
During the
Federal
Election period, students were introduced to the political platforms and
candidates for each of the major Political Parties. And on Election Day they
put their mark on the ballot.
The Student Vote Program provides
students with a very unique and exciting opportunity to be physically engaged in politics and democracy. Although their vote does not count officially to the final Election results, it
does serve as a means of voicing their
opinion regarding the future of Canada. The results of the Student Vote
Election were published in the major
newspapers on October 15th.
Special thanks to Civics.

We Conference, a one-of-a-kind event organized by Free the Children. Our students joined
over 8,000 youth at Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum. The Conference focused on developing

Farrow (actress and activist), Ben Mulroney (host of eTalk), Justin Trudeau (social advocate)
Craig and Marc Kielburger (founders and directors of Free The Children), Nate Berkus
(celebrity designer), Jessi Cruickshank (host of MTV live), The Cast of Degrassi: The Next

Canada) and Sarah McLachlan (Singer). Featuring an incredible line-up of speakers, musicians
and activists this energy-packed day was an experience like no other. This event has encouraged, inspired and educated our students. The students were inspired by
the messages of global citizenship and are eager to bring the message of
this conference back to our community.

While most Campion students were enjoying the last few weeks of the summer holidays, the Campion Football Program was already preparing for the 2008 gridiron season.
More importantly, and with the continued support from Administration, the Program returned to a two-team program:
with the inclusion of a junior squad, the program is able to
offer more opportunity for student-athletes to participate and
develop their skills over the course of their high school careers.
Off the field, the boys traveled to Toronto in early October to
watch the Argos play the BC Lions. Recently, they attended a
CIS game at Guelph and had the opportunity to speak with
university football coaches and walk around the campus.
In mid-October, the senior boys played their night game under the lights at St. Marcellinus against Mt. Carmel. With
support from parents, students, Administration, and the Athletic Council, Campion continues to make a name
for itself, not only within the community, but also beyond its borders.
The coaches welcome everyone to continue to check the football website for upcoming games, events and
general information.

St. Edmund Campion’s Athletic Council is comprised of approximately 20 students and staff advisors. The council works closely
with many coaches, student athletes, athletic teams and other staff
members in order to build school spirit by raising awareness of athletic events in the school community. Some of the events that are
organized by Athletic Council include recognizing the talents of
male and female athletes of the week, team support and the Athletic
Banquet which recognizes the talents of various student athletes at
the end of the school year. In addition to these, council members
organize St. Edmund Campion’s Community Christmas. It is an event
where staff, Athletic Council, student volunteers and the community come together in the spirit of Christmas to partake in a fun
filled day of Christmas themed activities.
The Athletic Council is an integral part of the school’s community
and athletic program. The council provides students with an opportunity to be part of a sports team in a leadership capacity. In addition, students who are involved in Athletic Council build skills such
as leadership, organization, teamwork, planning, commitment,
communication and learn the importance of helping our community.
