A Grand Event On A Grand Scale

In partnership with a local high school club, namely The Believe-SickKids Committee of Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute, S.W.A.G. will be holding a charity gala for The Hospital For Sick Children at Albert Campbell. This event, which is to be held this spring, will feature a variety of performances and will be a truly amazing spectacle. Students from across the city will be able to attend and have the time of their lives, all while helping to save the life of a sick child.

A Kinetic DayDream - CHARITY EVENT

Amid numerous obstacles and challenges, Students Working Against Great-Injustice pulled together as a team and hosted "A Kinetic DayDream" at Bloor Collegiate last Sunday, the 23rd of November.

There were performances from numerous artists who were all exceptionally talented and the audience was in awe and the quality of the performances. In fact, in all honesty, even many of the organizers of the event were surprised at the unexpectedly high quality talent which was present at the event.

Two things were raised for Hodgkins Lymphoma ( a type of cancer ) last sunday:
1) A LOT OF MONEY!
2) A GREAT DEAL OF AWARENESS!


The event was a great success and future events are expected to be even better!

SWAG EXPANDS IN TO REGIONAL DIVISIONS

SWAG-R-ACCI
Students Working Against Great-Injustice -Region- Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute

Last month, a diverse group of students at ACCI attended a forum commemorating the 60 year anniversary of the Universal Declartion of Human Rights. The focus of the meeting quickly shifted from human rights to student rights and from a system-wide outlook to a local outlook focusing on Albert Campbell.

After learning about the rights they were entitled to, and ways in which they could ensure that their rights were protected, the students expressed their concerns about events which occured in their school. They felt that they were not being represented, they felt that the student body en masse was not being represented and that their voices were not being heard.

The group of students collectively decided upon forming a group to bring CHANGE to Campbell. Though many of the students present were seniors and will not be attending high school next year, they still wished for postitive change in their school; if not in the present, at least in the future.

YOUR VOICE- COPS IN SCHOOLS

THE ISSUE:
Armed police officers in full uniform are currently patrolling many of our schools.

FACTS:

• The police assigned to the schools will be "visible and active" according to the board.
  
• Eight Catholic schools will be part of the plan, as well as 19 public schools in all areas of the city.
• Two public school trustees have said they don't want armed police in their schools, at least until after public consultations.
• TDSB director of education Gerry Connelly said she expects the uniformed officers to make a difference.

Here is a S.W.A.G. video on the issue focusing on Albert Campbell C.I.
