Khang Nguyen (President)

Khang Nguyen is the President of Campbell Collegiate's Student Leadership Council for the 2009-2010 school year. He is a Grade 12 IB student who has achieved class pins in all three years of high school so far.

Over the years, Khang has attempted to be involved with the school as much as he could be. Aside from the SLC, he has tried joining the Black and White Photography club, Tartan Football team, Drum club, and Senior Concert Choir. Although not all activities have worked, he has found and continued doing what has inspired and interested him most.

Outside of school, Khang enjoys playing the drum set, guitar, and bass guitar. He is also a black belt in Chinese martial arts and has won numerous medals in tournaments around Saskatchewan.

As the 2009-2010 SLC President, Khang is devoted to work hard and create a fun, inviting environment in the school and community by doing anything and everything he can to ensure that the 2009-2010 school year at Campbell Collegiate is unforgettable for both staff and students.

Fatehullah Azizi (Vice-President)

I was born in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Throughout my life I have been through and faced a lot of disasters which I believe none of you guys have ever been through. Afghanistan was just like heaven for me and for our relatives; we had a huge house and garden, and all our relatives were around us so we never got bored. There were always weddings and parties. But you know life is never the same.

One night there was news that the Taliban would arrive in our city in about 3 hours. Everybody was shocked and did not know what to do. Now you are probably wondering who the Taliban is and what do they want. The Taliban is a bunch of men gathered in the form of an army, and they are basically extremists and thieves. They just go through a city and kill and rob people of their choice. So, that night my father brought a huge bus and gathered most of our close relatives and we left to save our lives. Everything was left behind except some precious things, which were buried. We decided to migrate to Pakistan but since our way was blocked and the Taliban was almost everywhere, we decided to go on foot from the mountains. We traveled for two months on foot with very little food and shelter.

When we came to Pakistan we started a new life, new house, new friends and a new school. I made a lot of friends there and we all played soccer and cricket, went to weddings and did all sorts of fun things. We always used to make fun of each other and always laughed at jokes and the way things behaved and worked, but we also helped each other out. For example a friend's mother was in the hospital and the fee was really high, so my friends gathered 20 rupees from everyone and helped. It was hard to earn that much money.

Also, I was a really good student in Pakistan since our school was teaching us in Persian. I was a really hard working student and had an average of 96.7%; the highest in our school was 99% which belonged to the son of our principal.

One difference between that school and Campbell is that everybody in my old school was just the same man, no matter how rich or how beautiful they were. They talked and played with everyone, and everybody knew everybody. Here, everybody has groups. The guys that are cool or what not are separate from others, for example. Also, lots of guys don't like school and everybody stays away from them because of their clothing, standard of living or their appearances.

It wasn't easy for me to leave Pakistan and all my friends behind to come to Canada. I was happy and sad. Today my friends are all over Canada. I was really happy to meet them last summer, but only some of them though.

Canadians are the kindest people I have ever seen and met. Canada has its pros and cons. The school system and its education is just perfect, I wonder why some guys don't take part in sports, and why do they do drugs and waste their lives in pain and sickness. Some of them just care about pleasure and fun without knowing what it can do to their body. I really love this country for its system and rules.

I am the vice president of SLC. I joined badminton and got third in the city, and played for team Canada for Cricket under 17. I got fourth in the city for wrestling and I play soccer with the school team. I always like to laugh and make people laugh, but I can't always be funny because English isn't my first language.

Amanda Tessier (Vice-President)

Amanda Tessier is one of the Vice-Presidents on Campbell Collegiate's 2009-2010 Student Leadership Council. A rather unreliable individual, she prefers to spend her time sulking in the computer lab area. The most distinctive thing about Ms Tessier is the fact that she prefers eating porridge for breakfast--she believes that cereal is a government mind-control tactic. Out of school, she engages in the physically exhausting activity of sitting on the grass in front of Campbell wearing her tin-foil hat, hoping that aliens will come and contact her. NOTE: She is a rather depressed individual. Please avoid contacting her in real life, or she might try to harm you with shockingly sad song lyrics.

Nadia Akbar-Kamal (Secretary)

Hey Campbell Collegiate! This is Nadia Akbar Kamal, your SLC secretary 2009-2010. My hobbies including reading books, going for long drives, walking around the beach, listening to music, dancing and going out with my friends. One thing you should know about me is that I love to dream. My advice to you is to follow what your heart says and dream as much as you can because if you don’t then you will not have a motive to fulfill. Also, you can do whatever you want, do not let anyone to tell you that you are not good enough. Keep your head up high and believe in yourself. :)

Jamie Orr (Grade 12 Rep)

Hey, I'm Jamie Orr, Grade 12 rep for the 2009-2010 school year! And if you love getting caught in the rain, then I'm your girl. I also love long walks on the beach, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Other than drowning in IB homework and deciding my inevitable future, my hobbies include jammin' on the piano and guitar, tossing a frisbee or two and maybe improve through life; but I'm also down like Jay Sean for pretty much anything sweet. That's a little taste!

Nicholas Mack (Grade 11 Rep)

Nick Mack is the Grade 11 Representative for the Campbell SLC 2009-10 school year. With an oddball sense of humor and the continuous need to hug people, Nick hopes he can help the SLC make this school year the best it can possibly be.

Outside of school, Nick works part time at Jysk, holds a blue belt in Kung Fu, plays on his club's provincial soccer team, enjoys hanging out with his friends, playing videogames, and touching people!

During school, he is part of the Campbell soccer team wearing the number 23, the band programs in which he plays the alto sax in both Jazz and Concert, and finally the Student Leadership Council.

Overall Nick is a well-rounded person, able to connect to many people and has great pride in being a Tartan and loves his school. During the next school year he hopes to lend his talents, abilities and small hands to help make the 2009-2010 school year the best it can possibly be!

Conrad Hewitt (Grade 10 Rep)

On a sunny afternoon during the summer of 1994, a wee lad by the name of Conrad was born in a small bungalow in the south end of Regina. Well, actually he was born in the General Hospital but regardless. Conrad lived a wonderful childhood, but soon had to learn the cold, hard facts of life:

1. There was no Santa
2. He had no apparent super powers
3. He could not grow up to be a dinosaur

This left Conrad with little excitement in his life, and so he searched for some sense of purpose beyond the colouring books and building blocks of school, which he found in the sanctity of music lessons. Starting with guitar lessons, and then moving on to school band and the like, Conrad quickly began to learn any instrument he could get his hands and/or mouth on. First guitar, then saxophone, drums, bass, and finally piano, Conrad milked his musical talent for all it was worth.

Along with his music, Conrad spent a lot of his time and effort on his church. Having been dragged to church by his mother for the majority of his life, and then eventually actually wanting to go, Conrad became a solid member of the community at All Saints Anglican Church (yes, the one beside Campbell). From alter serving to getting to sign changing to playing music during services, Conrad did (and still does) just about every job available short of actually preaching.

A few facts you may not know about Conrad Hewitt:

• He is a certified procrastinator
• He despises rap music
• He is a coffee addict
• He has a collection of 37 Jones Soda bottles which is still growing rapidly
• He used to be able to beat box like a pro... those were the days

Summer Hunter (Grade 10 Rep)

Hello! My name is Summer Hunter, I am both honoured and excited to be part of the Student Leadership Council. I am prepared to help make the year of 09/10 one of the most spectacular yet! Now through my various attempts at writing a couple of paragraphs concerning myself I have discovered an amazing thing: in this case, brevity is an art form.

• I'm a Grade 10 rep.
• I'm 15 years old.
• I'm in French Immersion.
• I'm in senior choir.
• I'm part of the Cross Country team.
• I'm very accident prone.
• I LOVE sunny weather (on which we had a bit of a shortage).
• My elementary school was Massey.
• I would like to join the Globe Theater's acting program.
• I'm artistically challenged.
• I think Sports are FUN.
• My favourite sport is basketball.
• I enjoy participating in triathlons.
• I love organizing events.
• I really like most animals.
• Even though I only have my learner's licence, I despise stupid drivers.

Once again I am looking forward to my first year as part of the SLC team and look forward to a fantastic year with new activities and ideas around every corner!

Kaleena Calcutta (Member at Large)

Kaleena Calcutta is a 17 year old Grade 12 student at Campbell Collegiate. She has always had a passion for being around people and she has prided herself on her natural ability to connect with people. This is the reason why she decided to get involved with Campbell Collegiate's SLC. Kaleena was on last year's SAC and this year's SLC, both years as a Member at Large. She helps out with everything, as that is her job on the SLC. Kaleena is a very dedicated girl who is willing to go the extra mile so that the staff and students at Campbell have the most amazing year.

She wanted to stay with her friends and family and grow up like a normal teenager.

Kaleena hopes to become a certified Architect and pursue a music career in her future.

Cassidy Gale (Member at Large)

Cassidy Gale is a Member at Large on Campbell Collegiate's 2009-2010 Student Leadership Council. She is also the founder, president, event director, secretary, and solitary member of Campbell's Sailor Moon Fan Club. She is weird, but in a good way. Even though she starts writing on the edges of the page and finishes in the middle, and possesses an extreme amount of comic books and ancient Vietnamese limericks, she is nevertheless a very entertaining and intriguing individual. The SLC appreciates her contribution and input to weekly meetings, even though we don't officially have a Comic Book Rep position... yet. She is currently in the midst of writing an Extended Essay on "The Effect of Comic Books on Canadian High Schools, 1980-present", even though she is not in IB Diploma, or even IB for that matter. Nonetheless, she is as sane as sane can be.

Sadia Sami (Member at Large)

Sadia Sami is one of our very valuable Members-at-Large in Campbell's 2009-2010 Student Leadership Council. An effervescent Grade 10 student, she is quite talented in the fields of athletics and academics. Her academic skills earned her a class pin at the Grade 9 Closing Ceremonies.

Not only is Sadia a well-rounded Campbell Tartan, but she also contributes to her community by helping out at George Bothwell Library and assisting senior citizens at a retirement home. Her dedication to her school and community can be explained by a quote from Gandhi: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

If she is not volunteering, working or doing homework, she is biking at the extremely magnificent Wascana Park, enjoying the environment.

Prior to holding this prestigious office, Sadia attended Davin elementary school in central Regina.

Gavin Hill (Fundraising Coordinator)

Basically at school my life revolves around choir, or so it seems like it. However, I'm not complaining because I love the current music program at Campbell. I never planned for it to be like that though. When I "graduated" from Massey School, I assumed I could get through the I.B. Diploma program with ease. That was until I actually went into pre-I.B. last year. It was then that I realized that clearly I am not smart.

Right now I'm currently working at Pasta Prima and am one course away from becoming a lifeguard, but besides that I don't do much outside of school, mostly because I don't have time.

The only exciting thing that's happened in my life is going to Africa when I was 14, which I am starting to forget already. Speaking of which, you should probably know I have no memory. For example, apparently my family went to Disney World when I was ten. Don't remember that. Apparently I fell out of a camper while I was sleeping and was stuck outside because my mom wouldn't let me in because she thought I was a bear. Don't remember that.

So to sum up my life, I.B. English is not my forte, I spend most of my free time at school in choir, and I lack a long term memory (which I am currently blaming on the fact I fell out of a camper as a young child).

Mehrieh Rahimi (Fundraising Coordinator)

Mehrieh Rahimi is one of the two fundraising reps on the SLC for this school year. She is in Grade 12 and might be able to graduate. She is also pretty jazzed about being on the SLC for her last high school year. Outside of school, Mehrieh likes to read, go for walks, and swim. Unfortunately though, she hardly ever has time for the itty bitty hobbies anymore. It's fine though, because she doesn't really mind school. A surprising fact about Mehrieh is that hardly anyone can pronounce her name. Her biggest goal/dream? To have a substitute teacher pronounce her name right! *I'd be in heaven!*

Mehrieh is ready for an exciting school year on the SLC and hopes to have a lot of fun. 

Avnee Paranjape (Yearbook Rep)

Avnee Paranjape was born the day before Valentine’s Day in the outskirts of Toronto, only to be uprooted from the concrete jungle five years later and dragged to the barren plains of Saskatchewan. Young Avnee, black curls bouncing with fury, did not take well to this rude disruption of her environment, and demanded that her father simply go and get his old job back, and not accept this new position in the middle of nowhere. But with time came wisdom, acceptance, and a straightening of hair. Avnee spent the first nine years of French Immersion education at the red-brick fortress of W.S. Hawrylak School, with the exception of fifth grade, which was spent primarily in Hawai’i. Her life at that point was not consumed solely by schoolwork, so she busied herself with various other things, beginning with an interest in piano at the age of six for the sole purpose of learning to play “Fur Elise”. She also feigned artistic talent for a few years, but recognized the grim, undeniable reality at the age of twelve.

Today, Avnee is sixteen, and has a high standard of academic performance, earning class pins in her two years of high school at Campbell Collegiate, as well as awards for the top average and general aptitude in French Immersion. Her classes are a mixture of French Immersion and IB. When she’s not doing homework, Avnee enjoys stretching her limits with yoga (pun intended) or playing that twangy little instrument we call the ukulele. (She would like to have you know that it is pronounced ‘oo-koo-lay-lay’.) She volunteers at the Regina Humane Society and her elementary school’s library whenever possible. In addition to being on the SLC, she is a member of the Creative Writing Club and a copy editor of the Spectrum Yearbook.

Avnee is thrilled to be the SLC’s Yearbook Representative this year and wishes all the staff and students a fantastic year!

Sam Foster (Technology Rep)

Brian Wong (Webmaster)

"I am not a priest. I've never even been a particularly good man. I am in fact a profoundly selfish man. But that doesn't matter, you see. Something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I would choose to call this something "God", a singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will find that spark too. You will. But you have to look deep. Love your faults. Embrace them. If God embraces them, then how can they be faults? Love yourself. You have to love yourself. If we don't love ourselves, how can we love others? And when we know what we are, then we can find the truth out about others, seek what they are; the truth about them. And you know what the truth is? The truth about them? About you? About me? Do you? The truth is, we're all perfect. Just as we are. God only loves that which is perfect and he loves you. He loves you because you are perfect. You are perfect. Just as you are." - Dr. Baltar

Essentially, I am an unremarkable person. The only interesting thing about me is that I am an IB Diploma student, currently waging war on the mountains of homework and the valleys of despair. I am the webmaster on the Student Leadership Council, by the way.

Since I am currently writing my IB Extended Essay on the American Civil War (1861-1865), I believe it would be fitting if I concluded my remarks with the historic Gettysburg Address, delivered by United States President Abraham Lincoln:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate...we can not consecrate...we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
