- Free Teachers’ Guides for both Grades 11 & 12

Hebden Bursary
The Jim Hebden Chemistry Bursary will be awarded to a student who has performed service for their school and/or community while maintaining the grades in science that are necessary for success in post-secondary education. This year, the bursary will remain $1000. The $1000 bursary, to be used for post-secondary studies, is presented annually by Western Campus Resources, the exclusive distributor of the best-selling Hebden Chemistry Workbooks 11 & 12.

The 2024 Hebden Chemistry Bursary Recipient
We would like to thank each and every one of our participants in this year’s Hebden Bursary. This year, we received over 80 applications. It has been an honour reading all of the applications and truly a difficult task to narrow it down to just one winner. For the 2024 Hebden Bursary Award, we have selected Grace Cruz as the winner! Grace is a student at New Westminster Secondary, in New West B.C..
Grace intends on continuing the study of Chemistry at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. in September 2024. Grace is enrolled for a Bachelor’s of Science in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Here she plans to complete the necessary courses and gain 60 transferrable credits to be admitted into the entry to practice PharmD program at UBC. Upon completing the four-year PharmD Program, Grace will be equipped with the proper degree in her pursuit of becoming a licensed pharmacist.
Grace has obtained high academic standing while contributing to her community. Grace is passionate about band and culinary arts. She is a dedicated band student and creates meaningful connections with others through her music. Grace has volunteered her time with band and has performed at Jazz festivals, bringing people together.
In addition to band, Grace has also volunteered at the school cafeteria at lunch hour. Here, she assists in providing and serving students and staff with food at lunch hour. Some of her tasks in the cafeteria include: prepping, cooking, cleaning, plating and doing the dishes.
Grace strongly demonstrates a desire to help and care for those around her. I have no doubt that she will make an excellent pharmacist one day! On behalf of Western Campus, we wish her the best in all of her future endeavors!
Western Campus appreciates all applicants of the Hebden Bursary. We would like to graciously thank every one of the students and teachers who took the time to apply. While we read many applicants of well-deserving individuals, we have narrowed it down to one.
The Jim Hebden Bursary is a $1000 award given annually by Western Campus Resources, the exclusive distributor of Jim Hebden’s best-selling Chemistry Workbooks. The Hebden Bursary is awarded to a graduating student who demonstrated an above-average proficiency in Chemistry, distinguished themselves in their community, and has potential to excel in the study of chemistry at the post-secondary level. Mr. Hebden is a former BC Science Teacher of the Year who taught chemistry for three decades in Kamloops, BC.
North Peace Secondary
As a side note, I’ve been teaching with the Hebden texts for 23 years now. They are by far, the best high school Chemistry texts ever written! In fact, I’m 55 now (yup, I started teaching late in life), but I used the old Hebden texts when I was in high school myself. The old Green and Yellow ones. I’m a great fan!
What makes them the best is that they have lots of practice questions, and at various levels, and the answers are all worked out in detail in the back of the book, and these books are tailored to the curriculum, without overwhelming amounts of extra information. Detailed, but to the point.
