STATEMENT
Campbell Collegiate believes in the dignity of each individual. We strive to develop responsible citizens and life- long learners by fostering intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth within a safe learning environment
School History
he original planning for a high school in Hillsdale began in 1960. Campbell Collegiate opened for classes in September 1963.
T

Our school was named for Mr. John Esson "Shorty" Campbell (1886-1973).
His lengthy career as an educator included 34 years as a teacher and principal at
Regina's Central Collegiate (1912-46). Mr. Campbell always maintained
interest in Central and attended Commencement Exercises at the school for 59 consecutive years.
An addition of six classrooms was made in 1965 to accommodate Grade 8
students from Massey and Grant Road. Later, McVeety and Elsie Dorsey
schools closed their Grade 8 programs.
In 1969, Campbell obtained comprehensive high school status when an
extensive addition was made to include a second gym and facilities for
industrial arts, technologies and business education. Additional labs, classrooms, the Resource Centre and TV studios (now closed) were also added.
SCHOOL CREST
he Latin motto "Ne Obliviscaris" (Let us not forget) is a banner over the guardian lion, symbol of our bond to the crown.
The triple maple leaf of the Canadian Memorial Bearings lies below the book of learning. The colors are the green and gold of Saskatchewan.
THE TARTAN CREED
Learn and perform to the fullness of your potential
Exercise self-restraint, leaving room for freedom
Be orderly, cooperative, and empathetic
Live in harmony with your fellowmen
Be serious but with enjoyment
Be determined and persistent

SHARED VALUES
y facilitating a process of community consultation, through the Shared
Values Advisory Committee and the Shared Values Forum, the Regina
Board of Education identified four categories of shared values. To
maintain a focus on students, the areas are expressed in the form of
empowering “I” statements:
I BELONG
A sense of belonging is important to educational success. It is fostered by our
family, our friends and our community. In an educational setting, a sense of
belonging is created by recognizing and utilizing each individual’s unique
contributions. As a caring community, Regina Public Schools work to ensure
that they are comfortable, safe places for everyone to work and learn.
I WANT TO KNOW
The value of knowledge is fundamental to education. It is within this context
that Regina Public Schools develop policies, deliver curriculum, and create
appropriate and challenging learning environments. It is important to
encourage and to nurture a commitment to excellence in learning, with an
emphasis on academic achievement and personal, moral and ethical
development. Regina Public Schools instill the value of knowledge in three areas: knowledge of self, knowledge of others, and knowledge of community.
I RESPECT
The value of respect is critical for living and learning within a diverse
community. Respect provides the basis for all interactions within Regina Public
Schools. Respect is based upon acceptance and understanding of the
similarities and differences among people. In an educational setting, respect is
an essential component to ensure that all students reach their highest potential. Teaching the value of respect includes: respect for self, others, and community.
I AM RESPONSIBLE The value of responsibility is a cornerstone of a healthy society and essential
for quality education. Regina Public Schools are committed to the development
of personal, social and community responsibility. The exercise of these
responsibilities extends to human interactions, the learning environment, and
curriculum development and delivery. The development of personal and social
responsibility places an emphasis on responsibility for self, responsibility towards others, and responsibility within the community and the world.

School Policies
ampbell students understand that orderly conduct and courtesy to teachers
and other students is expected of them at all times. Students are subject to
discipline by any teacher anywhere on the school premises. The school
premises are defined as the school buildings, parking lot, school grounds and
the streets that bound the school grounds, or any place during school based and
supervised activities. The information contained in this handbook is divided
into three groupings: Academic Programming, Student Guidelines and Student Information.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMMING
LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
his program is designed for students from Grades 9-12 who experience
difficulty in academic subjects. The students receive tutorial assistance in academic subjects on a daily basis.
ALTERNATE EDUCATION
he Alternate Education program provides educational opportunities for
students with challenging needs. Students enrolled require significant
modification of curricula, and often need technical or personal assistance.
Students have opportunities to take a wide variety of academic and vocational
classes, both in alternate and general education. An extensive out of school
work experience is provided for senior students. The students are an integral
part of the school and readily participate in many school activities. The
Alternate Education Program focuses on promoting independence, building self-esteem and preparing the students for the world of work.
BILINGUAL PROGRAM
he Bilingual program was introduced in 1984. Campbell serves south
Regina as the high school for French Immersion. About 20% of students
take classes where French is the language of instruction. Classes include
French Language Arts, Art, Social Studies, Math, Wellness and Drama. The
Grade XII students write the IB final exam in French.

THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)
nternational Baccalaureate (IB) offers the motivated student an opportunity to challenge his/her own ability to learn.
The IB program is a challenging pre-university course of study offered at 1000
schools in 108 countries around the world. The IB Philosophy believes in training students how to learn by means of curriculum of high quality and rigor.
Campbell's IB program covers three years: a pre-IB year in Grade 10 and the two-year IB program in Grades 11 and 12.
IB courses may be offered at either Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL).
At Campbell, English, History, Chemistry and Mathematics are taught at the
Higher Level. Students may sit either the HL or SL Mathematics examination.
French, Biology, Physics, Art, Computer Science, Music and Theatre Arts will
be offered at the Standard Level. University credit may be granted for some courses.
The IB goal is to educate an international community of skilled, thoughtful,
compassionate and responsible citizens whose commitment to humanity and to
their communities transcends national, cultural and social barriers and whose zest for learning continues throughout their lives.
ACADEMIC AWARDS
lass Pins are awarded by Campbell Collegiate to students who achieve a
minimum of 79.5% based on six courses (Grade 9 and 12) and seven
courses (Grade 10 and 11). Required core subject marks will be
considered from any class taken during the current school year or any class
previously taken at the student’s current grade level or higher. Elective subject
marks will only be considered from the current school year. Students
spending only a partial year at Campbell can apply to the office to be considered for a class pin based on external courses.

STUDENT GUIDELINES
ATTENDANCE
y law (The Education Act), regular attendance is the responsibility of the parent and pupil:
"Every parent, guardian, or other person having charge of a pupil
who is of compulsory school age shall take the steps that are necessary to
ensure regular attendance of that pupil. Every pupil shall attend school
regularly and shall furnish promptly to the principal such information as he/she may require . . . with respect to any absence from school."
If a student is absent, we expect a parent or guardian to phone the school (306-
523-3250) with an explanation. If the phone call is not made, the student must
bring an explanatory note from home signed by a parent or guardian. If a call
or note is not received verifying the absence, a computer generated call may
contact your home to report the absence.
Students who are absent from classes on the day of an extra-curricular activity,
including dances, should not expect to participate in those activities.
Student attendance is a very important part of the educational process. Regular
attendance and promptness are necessary for continuity of instruction.
Evaluation is continuous. Although students are responsible for all work
missed, time lost from class cannot simply be retrieved through homework.
Discussion opportunities and participation in class activities have been lost.
Excessive absences can result in withdrawal of credit.
Students leaving on family holidays or other extended events must inform their
teachers in advance of their departure. Completing work prior to leaving is strongly recommended.
CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY
e ask students to care for all equipment and property of the school.
Students will be held financially responsible for any damage.
B

11
INTERNET POLICY
ccess to the school’s computer networks and the use of the Internet is an
important part of a student’s education. Access to these resources comes
with some responsibility. Before students use the computer equipment in
the school, they must read and sign an agreement that outlines appropriate
computer use within the school. A representative from the computer science
area discusses the agreement with the students. The key points in the agreement include:
The computers and the Internet are to be used for educational use only.
The use of the equipment must be in support of educational activities that
support your class activity. Personal email, game playing, downloading
software does not fall into this category.
Users of the Computer networks and the Internet must display appropriate
network etiquette. This includes, but is not limited to, being polite in all
communications, using appropriate language, respecting the privacy of all
individuals, displaying appropriate computer ethics, not modifying the
computer systems in any way, with respect to hardware or software that
can hamper the computer’s performance for another individual.
Using the computers and the Internet is a privilege. This privilege may be
removed if it is felt you are using the equipment for inappropriate reasons,
or in an inappropriate manner – both electronically and physically.
Security on any computer network is always a concern. If students become
aware of a security problem, they are to notify a system administrator or a
teacher as soon as possible.
Excessive use of consumable resources (printing) may result in an
additional cost to the student.
Labs are available to the students throughout the day. Students must
receive permission from an appropriate subject teacher before they can
have access to the equipment.
TEXTBOOKS
ll student textbooks, with the exception of workbooks, are distributed free
of charge. Students, however, are responsible for the textbooks they are
issued to them and will be assessed charges for damage or loss. Accounts must be cleared before final examinations are written.
Students who are required to report to the office on an exam day may lose some
time used in writing the exam. Every effort should be made by the student to
ensure that problems are dealt with well before the final exam period.

DROPPING CLASSES
lasses cannot be dropped without the written consent of the parent, subject
teacher, and guidance counselor or vice principal. Please consult the school calendar for each semester’s final date for class withdrawal.
APPROVED DRESS
tudents demonstrate integrity by dressing appropriately for school, as they
would for work in an informal service business. Clothing should be
suitable for modesty, and must not be decorated with images or lettering
that would be offensive to students, staff, or the public. Clothing which covers
the chest, midriff, and back is considered appropriate. Shirt/top must touch
pants/skirt at the hipline or waistline. Clothing that covers all undergarments (including when bending down) is also part of the dress code.
CELLULAR PHONES
ell phones - A cell phone or PDA is a disruption to the educational process.
Accordingly no cell phones or PDA’s are allowed during class time. Cell
phones can be used during non-scheduled instructional times however
phones with camera capability are not permitted for use at any time in the
school.
Electronic devices – PDA’s, MP3’s, iPods, etc. - at the discretion of the
teacher; these devices may be allowed for use during class time pending the
class activity. During any evaluation session all devices must be turned off and secured out of sight and out of reach.
LOCKERS
very student will be assigned a hall locker on the first day of school. It is
his/her responsibility to keep it damage free and clean at all times. Locks
are mandatory and only school issued locks (DUDLEY) are to be used. We
will exchange locks to allow students to get a new combination. Locks can be
purchased at homeroom on Registration Day or at the school office during the year.
Under no circumstances are students allowed to share a locker. Physical
Education students will require a second combination lock purchased from the
school. All lockers must be cleared and the locks removed each year.

Students should not keep money or other valuables in their locker. Should
students choose to bring valuables to school, it is their responsibility to ensure
they are locked up at all times (this includes clothing, i.e. during gym class).
The school is not responsible for lost or stolen property.
SMOKING
he Regina Board of Education has declared that all school facilities,
buildings and premises are smoke-free. The rule is no smoking on school
property at any time by anyone - students, teachers, or parents. Smokers are subject to suspension.

ost and found articles are to be left at or collected from the administrative office.
POSTERS
rior approval of the office is required before hanging posters. Use masking tape only.
PARKING
tudent parking is available on the UPPER level south of the school, at All
Saints' Anglican Church & north of the school in front of Massey Pool (please respect signage). Cars and property are left at the student’s risk.
Students may not park in any area of the LOWER staff parking lot, along
the building, bus lane, music area, or alternative education/technology
area. Specific areas in designated student parking lots may be off limits. It is
the student’s responsibility to become familiar with these restrictions. Student
vehicles parked in these areas will be ticketed and/or towed away at the owner’s expense without further warning.

TELEPHONE
he main office phone number is not to be used as an answering service for
students. Only calls of an urgent nature will be forwarded to students.
Students will not be called from class during class hours to receive messages.
UNASSIGNED PERIODS
tudents are encouraged to take as many courses as possible. Unassigned
times provide a student with an opportunity to use the Resource Centre to
complete assignments or to seek assistance from available teachers.
Students are asked not to loiter in hallways. Students may leave the school
during unassigned periods. The school administration may cancel a student’s
“free time” if that student does not use the time appropriately or has poor
attendance. Grade 9 and 10 students will not have unscheduled class periods (spares). By choice, most grade 11- 12 students do carry a full schedule.
ACCIDENTS AND INSURANCE
he Board of Education carries an insurance policy covering accidents
which occur while students are participating in athletics or other activities under school supervision.
This policy offers basic coverage but we would encourage students to consider
the extended benefits package as it provides a much more comprehensive
coverage for a small premium. Application forms will be distributed to students
on Registration Day.
A student suffering an accident must report to the supervising teacher or the
office. A form will be completed by the teacher or office outlining the
circumstances of the accident. The form is then submitted to the insurance company.

STUDENT INFORMATION
ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
REGINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS DIVISION ASSESSMENT
(This section is based on the Assessment Overview
page of the Regina Public Schools website.)
The Regina Public School division defines assessment as the systematic
process of gathering evidence of what students can do in relation to the
broad goals of education or the specific goals of an educational
program. Assessment includes methods developed at the school, district,
provincial (and international) levels. Broadly stated, there are three types of
assessment practices used in schools: Assessment FOR Learning
(Diagnostic), Assessment AS Learning (Formative), and Assessment OF
Learning (Summative).
ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING (DIAGNOSTIC):
Assessment for learning measures where a student is prior to instruction.
The information informs the teacher’s instructional practice to enhance
student learning. When teachers access students in an ongoing
manner by employing regular or specifically designed techniques
(such as conversations, observations, and collecting products), it is
possible to discover what students understand to date and where teachers
can take the learning from that point. These assessments are descriptive
and give information to teachers about both areas of strengths and areas
that need further development. Assessment for learning involves learners
receiving feedback during their learning.
16
ASSESSMENT AS LEARNING (FORMATIVE):
Assessment AS learning describes how assessment can be understood and
internalized by students to think about and refine their learning. When
students understand and use criteria independently, they are learning how to
think about their own thinking and learning. These assessments are
descriptive and have students using well-developed criteria and descriptions
to identify their own areas of strength and those that need further
development.
ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING (SUMMATIVE):
Assessment of Learning measures what learning has taken place at a
particular point in time. When students are demonstrating what they know
at the end of a unit, or a term, or in a more formalized test, this is a summary
of their learning at that particular time. The most relevant assessment for
classroom practices are those designed to match the classroom curriculum.
These assessments are evaluative and are a snapshot of learning at a given
point.
17
PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSMENT AT CAMPBELL COLLEGIATE
The main purpose of assessment and evaluation at Campbell Collegiate is to
inform instruction and support student learning and achievement of
curricular outcomes. Attitudes and actions about assessment reflect the
belief that all students are capable of learning and should be allowed to
demonstrate the full range of this learning. Assessment should be varied in
nature, formative and summative, concrete and meaningful.
Effective formative assessment strategies allow students to have a clear
understanding of what they are expected to learn, to engage in strategies
for self and peer evaluation, to develop critical thinking abilities, to reflect
on their progress, and to set goals for their own learning.
Effective summative assessment strategies are aligned with curricular
outcomes, emphasize the most recent and consistent evidence of learning,
are respectful of student diversity, and are used to make decisions about
students based on a variety of evidence.
In sum, assessment and evaluation should:
1. inform instruction and be based on curricular outcomes
2. articulate clearly purpose, requirements and achievement
standards, i.e. performance variables that describe levels of
student performance
3. be valid, i.e. measure student achievement of the learning
outcomes that the assessment is intended to measure
4. be reliable and consistent in the application of achievement
standards across subject sections
5. be administered over an appropriate period of time to
provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate
their learning
6. be diverse and inclusive, allowing for equity of opportunity
for students of varying ability; recognize cultural diversity,
promote international-mindedness, and be sensitive to
gender, ethnic or heterocentric bias
7. provide motivation for learning
8. set high standards for students and foster critical thinking
9. provide timely, descriptive and meaningful feedback to
students on their progress
10. provide clear and transparent information to parents,
18
teachers and administrators on student progress 11. encourage students to reflect on their progress, and
empower them to take ownership of their own
learning
12. facilitate smooth transitions through high school and
beyond
ROLES AND REPONSIBILITIES
Administrators, teachers, and students all have roles and responsibilities to
ensure that effective assessment occurs at Campbell Collegiate.
Administrators
To ensure effective assessment practices, school administrators will:
1. apprise all teachers of Campbell’s assessment policy
2. provide opportunities for relevant professional development in
effective assessment practices 3. provide reasonable time for teacher collaboration in
reviewing and refining assessment practices and instruments
4. communicate the assessment policy to the school community,
i.e. parents and the Campbell Collegiate
Community Council 5. communicate to teachers, students and parents a policy
that holds students accountable for late, incomplete or
missed assignments.
6. plan for, schedule, and facilitate parent/student/teacher
conferences regarding student progress as per board directive
or as needed
7. communicate the academic honesty policy to teachers and
the school community, and support the protocol for the
investigation of suspected malpractice
8. ensure that schedules for reporting periods and final
examinations are communicated at the beginning of the
academic year to students, teachers, and parents/guardians
9. determine whether accommodations are appropriate for
students unable to sit final examinations because of
extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness, injury, bereavement).
If so, they will make alternative arrangements in consultation
with the student’s subject teacher.
10. support teachers to develop effective assessment practices
19
Teachers
To ensure effective assessment practices, teachers will:
1. collaborate within their subject areas to ensure
consistency of course syllabi/outlines/assessment
requirements and practices; submit course outlines to core
leaders and/or administrators
2. provide students with COURSE OUTLINES that include:
a) descriptions of course content and learning
outcomes
b) assessment framework that outlines the nature
of diagnostic, formative and summative tasks
c) evaluation criteria and percentage breakdown
of marks (final examinations may count to a
maximum of 20%)
3. provide students with clear descriptions of performance
criteria and standards, such as rubrics and exemplars, prior
to assessment tasks
4. use a variety of FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS to
prepare students BEFORE summative assessments are
given. Examples may include:
a) drafts
b) checklists for understanding
c) quizzes
d) review exercises and practice tests
20
5. communicate information about student effort or learner
attributes separately from academic achievement,
notwithstanding curricular requirements. This information
may include comments on:
a) attendance
b) student effort
c) participation in class
d) homework completion
e) attitude and behaviour
6. base final Ministry marks on assessments that clearly measure
provincial curriculum learning outcomes
7. adjust marks of IB students who complete assessment
requirements unique to the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Program based on a scale developed by
IB teachers at Campbell Collegiate.
8. promote by example and teach students about ethical
practice and academic honesty (see Ethical
Practice and Academic Honesty section below); and apprise
them of the consequences of malpractice
9. provide timely and meaningful feedback to students on
assessments—within 5 school days of the due date for minor
tests/assignments, and 10 school days for major
tests/assignments
10. keep accurate records of assessments and enter the grades of
summative assessments on Power School Grade Book within a
reasonable time period; students must be made aware that an
accurate reflection of their achievement occurs over time and
with multiple assessments
11. review annually assessment guidelines and practices with
subject colleagues
21
Students
To be successful students are expected to:
1. attend school regularly and arrive to classes punctually.
Regular attendance is key to academic success.
Students who are absent are responsible for missed
content and completing required assessments.
2. prepare for evaluations and complete assignments in a
timely manner and to the best of their ability
3. complete homework regularly to be prepared for
subsequent lessons and consolidate their learning
4. inform teachers in advance of expected absences or
requests of due date extensions
5. complete assignments in a principled manner,
observing guidelines of ethical practice and
academic honesty
Late and Missing Assessments
1. Late Assignments
a) Teachers will indicate on Power School Grade Book
when an assignment is not submitted using the codes
below.
b) Consequences of assignments submitted late:
Optimal learning depends on timely submission of
assignments without which teachers are not able to
provide meaningful feedback. The decision to accept
late assignments is based on several factors, including
student illness, bereavement, and other extenuating
circumstances. It is also based on whether the teacher
feels the academic integrity of the assignment has been
compromised and/or the assignment is no longer
relevant to the course. Examples: an assignment has
already been returned to the class, or the particular
outcome(s) in question is/are no longer being taught or
assessed. An assignment is either relevant to the course
in question or it is not. Teachers will not subscribe an
arbitrary number in the docking of marks. Teachers
will indicate through the comment section of their
Grade Book which assignments are eligible to be handed
in for credit.
22
c) late assignment, the student must first appeal that
decision to the teacher. Failing satisfactory resolution of
the matter, the student may appeal the decision to the
office.
2. Missing Assessments:
a) When students fail to submit a sufficient number of
assessments of learning for grading purposes, and every
effort to obtain the assessment(s) has been
exhausted, teachers use professional judgment to
determine whether marks for missing assessments
result in zeros and/or failing grades.
b) Students unable to write a final examination because of
serious illness, injury, bereavement or for other valid
reasons, for which sufficient cause is demonstrated,
should apply to the administration. In consultation with
the subject teacher, an administrator will determine
whether accommodation may be granted, and the
appropriate time for an alternative assessment.
Communication and Reporting
1. A schedule of reporting periods, parent/teacher/student
conferences, and final examinations is established and
communicated to teachers, students and parents at the beginning
of the academic year.
2. Subject teachers and advisory teachers communicate student
progress, grades, and achievement to parents through Power
School Grade Book and when appropriate via email, telephone
calls, and conferences.
3. Formal parent/teacher/student conferences may occur once per
semester, and are planned with direction from the administration
and facilitated by advisory teachers. Subject teachers may also
schedule such conferences when appropriate.
4. Report Card marks are submitted to the Ministry at the
conclusion of courses. Paper transcripts of final
marks are provided to students at the end of each semester,
and to parents upon request. Parents and students are
encouraged to follow the “real-time” reporting of academic
progress through the Student/Parent Portal of Power School.
5. Teachers use Power School Grade Book codes as follows:
23
Teacher Codes (these are codes teachers use but students
do not necessarily see)
EXEMPT ≠ “0” (Student is exempt from assessment.
Teacher is excusing the student from completing the
assignment and it will have no affect on the grade)
NHI= “0” (Absent and mark is resulting in a 0. Should be
entered immediately after an assignment is
due and changed upon submission of the assignment)
Parent/ Student Codes (These are codes teachers,
students and parents see)
Missing (M) (Student may or may not receive credit for
the assignment at this time. Please see the comment section
for clarification as to whether the assignment is still able to be
submitted for credit.
