This article is on the math based sciences, which takes a different take at the sciences… Math teachers, they come in all shapes and sizes. Although, from my experience, they all seem to be pretty normal people. They’re the exact opposite of English and/or Biology teachers who all have their interesting quirks. Math teachers are often just…
Yet another year is upon us, and it is with great pleasure that I would like to introduce 2016’s first Blogger of The Month, Elvin. It was on this lovely Friday that we both hurried to Chinook Centre to have a chance to talk before the weekend was upon us. Sitting in the quietest place…
A breath of fresh air and a brand new start; 10 words to describe the approach of second semester. Unlike first semester, this time around you probably remember how to hold a pencil, you know where you’ll be devouring lunch, and you’ve probably learnt how to survive with as little as six or five…
What is happiness to you? Such a straightforward question that ultimately generates a world of complicated answers. Instead, pause, look around you and ask yourself, what brings a smile to your face and warmth to your heart? If you’re one to keep up with current events, or have any social media for that matter, you are…
{Source} Late last month, President Barack Obama visited Nairobi as part of his historic trip to Africa. His family’s longstanding ties to Kenya brought cheers upon the 4,500 students, government officials, and civil society leaders who gathered at Safaricom Indoor Arena. Part state address, part commencement speech, Obama’s 40-minute talk started with a personal reminiscence of…
(Original Image) “A different language is a different vision of life.” – Federico Fellini I am multilingual. Growing up here in Canada, I learned English as well as my parents’ native language of Chinese. Through my own choice, I took French as a Second Language courses throughout school, having just finished FSL 31 IB this year.…
“I demand the independence of woman, her right to support herself, to live for herself, to love whomever she pleases, or as many as she pleases. I demand freedom for both sexes, freedom of action, freedom in love, and freedom in motherhood.” ~Emma Goldman 1897 The battle of gender inequality has been around for centuries…
On a sunny Tuesday morning, four enthusiastic students sat down for an interview about WHOLE Churchill. WHOLE Churchill is a community created by Haroon M., Megan C., Rahul A., and Sidharth S., to promote awareness of mental health for all youth, starting with the students of Sir Winston Churchill High School. Shruti: What is…
Ahhh… It’s almost that time of the year again. Summer vacations on glorious beaches, two whole months of little responsibility, sleeping in, spending all day in your pajamas. I could go on, but before I get you too rallied up on pre-summer excitement, we have to face the harsh reality that, once again, we are…
This March, the provincial budget was released. We saw changes to the flat rate income tax, our health care system, gasoline tax, and as always education. Education faced heavy cuts this year, as it did last year and the year before that, and the year before that. You might not be thinking too much about…
The unique thing about our homestay experience is that it is also an exchange opportunity. I feel that the education system in a particular country is very telling in the sense that it shows you what the society values and what the social dynamic between individuals is like. On Wednesday we were given time to work…
I am a girl in Grade 11, and I have access to education. Everyday I get the opportunity to read new literature, enrich my knowledge regarding chemicals, and physics, and am able to enjoy myself through my art class. I took school for granted, but in reality it is a luxury. In a society that…
YouTube is undeniably a great source of entertainment, but it is also equally packed with all sorts of educational materials. As a student and as an insatiably curious person in general, I spend a lot of time doing research and attempting to find resources that allow me to better understand my work and the world…
There are only a few more months of high school left to go. How prepared are you to enter into university life? I knew I was nowhere near prepared for university so I decided to ask some of my university friends for some tips or must-knows before I stumble into university life. Many of them gave…
When we hear the words “Third-world,” we often picture the war-torn and poverty-stricken countries in Africa. Ravaged by decades of internal conflicts resulted from European colonialism, and not to mention the recent Ebola outbreak, it makes sense that if there is anyone in the world that needs our help, it’s them. A Calgarian foundation is doing just…
