CWS introduces the new Non-Profit Specialist High Skills Major
The Canadian and World Studies Department is excited to introduce Non-Profit, the newest addition to the SHSM stable of programs at St. Edmund Campion this year. Canada is home to the second largest non-profit workforce in the world, with 161,000 different organizations contributing $112 billion to our economy each year. There are 11.8 million volunteers and two million paid employees working in the non-profit sector. Occupations in this sector are wide-ranging with varying education and skill requirements. This program involves our students in community development through a variety of experiential learning and cooperative education experiences working within this sector. Students will develop skills in the areas of problem solving, analysis, communication, cooperation, ethical values, consciousness, and citizenship. The non-profit sector offers a range of careers that are dynamic, engaging, and rewarding. Whether in the fields of art, culture, education, law, the environment, information technology, heath care, social development, or sport, countless career paths are available for people who share the sector’s common vision: to makea difference.
Our students have been busy training and receiving certifications such as Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and Customer Service. As part of the grade 12 Reach Ahead component to the SHSM program, students have expanded their learning experience with trips to both Osgoode Hall and the Toronto Court House. Students registered in the Non-Profit SHSM must also complete some experiential learning as well, which has been fulfilled this year with the grade 11 Law class trip to the Brampton Court House as well as through participation with the Model UN club and the school’s Mock Bail and Mock Trial teams. Throughout the year, Non-Profit students will also be involved in fundraising for the India Trip, participate in the Count Me In Conference as well as the Youth Making a Difference Conference in addition to attending various seminars and receiving even more certifications in fields such as Conflict Resolution and Leadership. Our students will continue to foster their knowledge of the importance of community relationships in the Non-Profit capacity/domain and learn essential skills in developing social justice initiatives.
For more information on the Non-Profit SHSM, visit Campion’s website at dpcdsb.org/CAMPI and click SHSM.

Our Faith
“Named, Called and Chosen”
Welcome to the Chaplaincy Department at St. Edmund Campion School!
My name is David Patterson, and I am excited to be the new Chaplaincy Leader at this vibrant and faith-filled secondary school. I hope this page will offer you some insight into the mission of our school community, and into the hopes and prayers we have for the youth you entrust so confidently to our care.
The goal of the Chaplaincy Department is to continue to build community within our school, and to fuel the faith-formation of both students and staff. Chaplaincy encourages outreach to our school’s families, parish and to the greater community through ministry, generosity, faith and service.
Please feel free to drop by my office or to contact me by phone at 905-846-7124 ext. 72195 if there is anything I, or our school support team, can do to assist your family in any way. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to minister to this community, and I look forward to growing with you in the role of Chaplaincy Leader at St. Edmund Campion S.S.
God bless you!
in Christ,
David Patterson

Modern Languages - Course Outlines
Why study Spanish
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."
- Nelson Mandela
REASON #1 - An International Language that will connect you to the world!
With hundreds of millions speakers around the world, Spanish is amongst the most spoken languages in the world. If you count only native speakers, Spanish outranks English. Spanish is an official language on four continents and is the mother tongue of numerous countries. Great for travelling and professional opportunities in an increasingly global world.
REASON #2 - Will help you with other languages
Spanish is a Romance language, i.e. of Latin origin. Romance languages share a similar grammatical structure and there are often similarities in vocabulary
If you learn Spanish, you'll have a head start in learning other languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan or Romanian.
REASON #3 - Easier than you think!
Spanish is generally thought of as one of the easier languages to learn. It’s a phonetic language, meaning the way it’s written is the way it's pronounced.
Reason #4 - The Culture
From music to dance, from literature to film, from cultural celebrations to cuisine, Spanish-speaking cultures will expand your horizons.
