Dorm Newsletter – 2012 May
In the May issue of Bodwell Dormitory newsletter read more
“Bodwell provides lots of structure, but also treats us like people. I feel respect from every teacher and administrator. We learn a lot more in our classes, compared with other schools I have attended. Our classes are longer, which is much better than short periods when nothing much gets done. I love learning about different cultures. There are people here from countries I always wanted to know more about.” – Kayla Buksa, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Staff & Management
Dormitory Staffs
Our on-site dormitory houses up to 260 students in double, 3 and 4 people rooms. It comprises two separate sections for boys and girls respectively.
It is managed by the live-in Director of Residence, a full-time Matron, and a team of other live-in hall advisors, supported by relief staff. Residence staff have weekly meetings to plan and coordinate dormitory matters, which are also attended by student counsellors.

Hall System
The dormitory provides a healthy, active and culturally diverse living environment for students from around the world. The dormitory is made up of different halls for boys and girls. Each Hall has a full-time Hall Advisor who acts as a dorm parent, looking after the needs and safety of each student.
Hall Advisors come from a wide range of backgrounds including education, social work or counseling and have a strong passion to work with youth to create a ‘home away from home.’
Student Behavior
All dormitory students are expected to follow the “Rules and Expectations for Student Residence” as given on admissions and explained during student orientation. Students and parents are encouraged to become familiar with the document. Consequences and disciplinary actions will be given for non-compliance of rules.
